Decreasing energy consumption of water splitting strategy by replacing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with more facile sulfide oxidation reaction (SOR) to H2evolution and value-added sulfur products is a promising technology. Nevertheless, the unsatisfactory catalyst long-term stability and passivation issues substantially limit the overall productivity. Herein, we report an anti-sulfuretted NiSe nanowire array catalyst on nickel foam (NiSe/NF), this catalyst exhibits a significantly reduced anode potential of 0.49 Vvs.RHE at 100 mA cm−2compared to the oxygen evolution reaction (1.78 Vvs.RHE) and remains admirable stability for more than 500 h without passivation. Particularly, the skillful combination of UV–vis,in situRaman, and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectra, we reveal that S2-/HS-has been selectively converted to Sn2-and by-product S2O32-rather than sulfur, which avoids long-perplexing passivation issue of solid sulfur. For the first time, we demonstrate the feasibility of the system (SOR + HER) in a commercial membrane electrode assembly stack, which affords 19.0 mL min−1H2at a low cell voltage of 1.0 V with consuming the electricity of 2.63 kWh Nm−3H2. This work provides a new avenue for low-cost H2production by H2S electrooxidation desulfurization.
