Hydrogen production by water electrolysis was supposed to be the most potential green hydrogen production technology. The development of high-efficiency hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst is of great significance for its large-scale promotion. In this study, nickel chloride and ammonium molybdate were used as nickel and molybdenum sources respectively to obtain the precursor of NiMo bimetallic catalyst by in-situ growth method. The dinitrile diamine was used as nitrogen source and a series of NiMo_xN@NC (x represents the molar ratio of ammonium molybdate and nickel chloride) catalysts were prepared by high temperature nitridation temperature programmed method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The HER performance of as prepared catalysts was tested in 1 mol/L KOH solution and simulated seawater respectively. Results showed that all NiMo_xN@NC catalysts have presented a relatively high conductivity (R_ct<1 Ω) and intrinsic catalytic activity (Tafel slope of 103~168 mV/dec). Among them, the NiMo_0.75N@NC catalyst posessed the highest limiting current density (–178 mA/cm²) and the lowest overpotential η at certain current densities of 10 mA/cm² and 100 mA/cm² (η₁₀=0.164 V, η₁₀₀=0.448 V). Furthermore, the NiMo_0.75N@NC catalyst has also presented a relatively high stability in KOH solution and seawater.

Key words: hydrogen energy source, transition bimetallic nitride catalyst, NiMoN@NC catalyst, hydrogen production by seawater, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) process
