Graphene materials, used as electrocatalyst support in green hydrogen production, contribute to increasing the efficiency and robustness of various systems. However, the preparation of a hybrid catalyst containing graphene materials from industrial wastes is still a challenge due to the heterogeneity of the waste. We report the synthesis of 3D electrodes using graphene oxides (GOs) from industrial waste (IW) prepared by immersion onto Toray carbon paper as a 3D support onto GO suspensions and electrodepositing NiFe layered double hydroxides (LDHs). Standard graphite was also used as the reference. The morphology of the two hybrid electrodes was determined by SEM, HRTEM, XPS. Although very similar in both, the sample containing graphene from IW (higher Csp3 hybridization in the graphene layer) has a NiFe phase with less crystallinity and larger presence of Fe2+ ions. These electrodes exhibited similar activity and stability as electrocatalysts of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), demonstrating the proactive effect of the graphene into the 3D electrode even when this is prepared from heterogeneous industrial waste. Moreover, the defective graphenic structure of the waste GO enhances the reaction kinetics and improves the electron transfer rate, possibly due to the small differences in the electrodeposited NiFe LDH structure. |
