Electrocatalytic Performance of Carbon Layer and Spherical Carbon/Carbon Cloth Composites Towards Hydrogen Evolution from the Direct Electrolysis of Bunsen Reaction Product

doi:10.1007/s40242-023-3223-x

Abstract

Abstract: A composite material comprising a carbon layer and spherical carbon/carbon cloth (C-SC/CC) was fabricated using a hydrothermal-pyrolysis method, employing carbon cloth as the substrate and glucose as the carbon source. The C-SC/CC electrode was evaluated as an electrocatalytic electrode for hydrogen production by electrolysis of Bunsen reaction products. The electrode prepared with 4 g of glucose and annealed at 800℃ showed excellent electrocatalytic activity. It requires only a potential of 185 mV (vs. SCE) to achieve a current density of 10 mA/cm². Furthermore, the electrode demonstrated good stability with a 6% loss in current density after 1000 cycles of scanning from 0.2 V to 1.2 V. These results indicate the potential of the SC/CC electrode as an efficient and durable electrocatalyst for the electrolysis of H₂SO₄ and HI.

Key words: Electrolysis of Bunsen reaction product, Carbon material, Composite material, Hydrogen production
