Fig. 3. HER activity and stability of Rh NSs, Rh/C, and Pt/C.

Fig. 3

(A) Polarization curves of Rh NSs, Rh/C, and commercial Pt/C. Linear sweep voltammetry was carried out in 1.0 M KOH aqueous solution at scan rate of 5.0 mV s−1. (B) Overpotentials at current density of 10 mA cm−2 (left) and exchange current densities (right) of Rh NSs, Rh/C, and commercial Pt/C. The error bars were obtained on the basis of the measurements of five samples. (C) Comparison of the overpotentials of Rh NSs, Rh/C, commercial Pt/C, and previously reported electrocatalysts at current density of 10 mA cm−2 in 1.0 M KOH aqueous solution. (D) Tafel plots obtained from the corresponding polarization curves of Rh NSs, Rh/C, and commercial Pt/C. (E) Durability test of Rh NSs. The polarization curves were recorded before and after 10,000 potential cycles in 1.0 M KOH aqueous solution from 0.1 to −0.1 V (vs. RHE).
