Abstract
In an effort to develop a multifunctional catalyst for hydrogen generation and adsorption applications, a facile and cost-effective microwave popping method was used to synthesize popped graphene oxide (PGO) and Co-PGO hybrid. Both samples have been explored and compared as hydrogen storage materials and as electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) for the first time. The loading of Co(II) species on the surface of the PGO enhanced the hydrogen storage capability of PGO from 0.04wt% to 0.08wt% as measured at 293K and 800 mmHg. Co-PGO is also acting as a better electrocatalyst for HER compared to the PGO counterpart.
