Résumé

Water electrolysis to form hydrogen as a solar fuel requires highly effective catalysts. In this work, theoretical and experimental studies are performed on the activity and stability of Ni-Mo cathodes for this reaction. Density functional theory studies show various Ni-Mo facets to be active for the hydrogen evolution reaction, Ni segregation to be thermodynamically favorable, and Mo vacancy formation to be favorable even without an applied potential. Electrolyte effects on the long-term stability of Ni-Mo cathodes are determined. Ni-Mo is compared before and after up to 100 h of continuous operation. It is shown that Ni-Mo is unstable in alkaline media, owing to Mo leaching in the form of MoO
