Abstract
Utilizing ammonia for hydrogen production via ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) remains a challenge owing to insufficient electrode performance and high cost of noble metal. Herein, we performed repeated self-terminated electrodeposition (SED) of Pt on Ni substrate to obtain Pt/Ni electrodes. The electron-deficient Ni sites prefer *OH adsorption and serve as a reservoir for NH3 dehydrogenation, thereby promoting NH3 adsorption on Pt sites. Additionally, this iterative process enabled precise regulation of the Pt loading mass. Pt5/Ni electrode exhibited the highest catalytic activity for AOR. Subsequently, immersing this electrode in various acid solutions resulted in surface morphologies with numerous well-defined pits, driven by the adsorption of different electrolyte ions. Specifically, etching in HNO3 led to a higher Pt(100) density, further enhancing the electrode’s catalytic performance for AOR. Thus, this study offers a simple, fast, and spontaneous method for facet engineering ultrathin Pt overlayers on Ni substrate under ambient conditions.
