| dc.description.abstract | The escalating concerns surrounding global warming, climate change and increasing the rate of pollution day-by-day are being worsened by the widespread dependency on traditional fossil fuels for energy generation. This reliance leads to the release of many harmful greenhouse gases and pollutants in the atmosphere. With the growing recognition of the urgent need to combat these environmental degradation, shifting to renewable energy sources is much preferable. Unlike fossil fuels, hydrogen can produce energy without emitting any pollutants making it a vital source to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with conventional energy sources. In this research, a detailed study is being carried out on the production of green hydrogen through electrochemical-oxidation of bio alcohols process which represents a promising pathway for sustainable energy solutions. This project explores the use of nickel iron layered double hydroxides (NiFe-LDH) combined with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) deposited on nickel foam to enhance the electrochemical performance of the electrolytic process. The synthesized NiFe-LDH/MWCNTs composite exhibits superior catalytic activity and stability, significantly improving hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) efficiency. The nickel foam substrate not only provides a conductive and porous support structure but also facilitates optimal dispersion of the active materials, maximizing surface area for reaction. Electrolytic experiments demonstrate that this composite achieves remarkable performance metrics, including low overpotential and high current density, surpassing traditional electrocatalysts. This innovative approach contributes to the advancement of efficient, cost-effective green hydrogen production technologies, with potential applications in renewable energy systems and sustainable hydrogen economies. | |
