Abstract

Graphene oxide was 3D entrapped in nickel nanoparticles and the resulting nanostructured material applied as electrocatalyst in both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions at room temperature. This establishes a completely new class of catalytic materials, dubbed herein “NiGraf”, which is highly promising towards enhanced alkaline water electrolysis.

Description
The ESI file contains four figures and two tables. Figures S1-S3 and Table S1 provide further data supporting the determination of the crystal phase composition of the NiGraf materials. Table S2 presents the main structural parameters determined by fitting of the PDF profiles of the NG1, NG2 and NG3 materials with a structural model composed by a linear superposition between the crystal structures COD 9012317 (jamborite) and COD 9012236 (graphene oxide). Figure S4 displays the the lab X-ray powder diffraction (XPD) profiles allowing crystallite average size determination by the common peak at 2θ = 45°
