Ruthenium-doped Ni(OH) to enhance the activity of methanol oxidation reaction and promote the efficiency of hydrogen production.

The coupling of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) to produce clean hydrogen energy with value-added chemicals has attracted substantial attention. However, achieving high selectivity for formate production in the MOR and high faradaic efficiency for H evolution remain significant challenges. In light of this, this study constructs an Ru/Ni(OH)/NF catalyst on nickel foam (NF) and evaluates its electrochemical performance in the MOR and HER under alkaline conditions.
