IPC Classification: C25B 11/06
Abstract:
The present invention relates to ternary metal(s) hydroxide [(M1-M2-Ni)](OH)2] composite supported on nickel foam (NF) having nanoflower arrays  structure, which acts as a self-standing bifunctional electrocatalyst for cathode as well as anode (both electrodes) for water electrolysis/splitting. Further, the present  invention provides hydrothermal process for the preparation of said bi-functional electrocatalyst. The bifunctional catalyst disclosed herein is useful in performing water  electrolysis reactions to generate hydrogen and oxygen.
