Figure 3. HER relative efficiency of 29.1 wt% Rh/SiNW and 40 wt% Pt/C in oxygen-free 0.5 M H2SO4.

Figure 3

(a) LSV of both catalysts for high current densities. At 1,000 mA cm−2 the electric power to hydrogen energy conversion efficiency of 29.1 wt% Rh/SiNW is larger by 7.8%. Note that the current for 29.1 wt% Rh/SiNW is more stable. (b) Hydrogen evolution by 29.1 wt% Rh/SiNW and 40 wt% Pt/C systems at −0.4 V. The hydrogen evolution using 29.1 wt% Rh/SiNW is larger by 15%.
