Design and development of defect rich titania nanostructure for efficient electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction in an acidic electrolyte

Cost-effective, efficient and stable electrocatalyst for water splitting in the acidic electrolyte medium has been developed. The could be a support high purity hydrogen production via splitting. Accordingly, we have prepared defect-rich titania nanostructure electrochemical anodization cathodization routes using titanium plate, which showed highly effective durable of evolution reaction (HER) an medium. This hybrid compound low onset potential −0.17 V HER with current density −150 mA cm−2 1 M H2SO4. Moreover, stability test performed as cathode 6 h two electrodes system.
