Morphological and functional modifications allow graphene to be applied as promising electrode support for improved electrochemical cell performance. Typically, however, modification requires complicated steps with various organic additives, such as binders, which causes low electrochemical stability, especially under harsh pH conditions. Herein, we introduce self-supported and long-term stable water splitting electrodes based on nanoparticles (NPs) decoration on three-dimensional porous laser-induced graphene (3D-LIG). A binder-free, single-step electrochemical process homogeneously decorates the 3D-LIG electrodes with CuO and Pt NPs, referred to CuO-3D-LIG and Pt-3D-LIG electrodes, respectively. These electrodes are individually analyzed for enduring oxygen evolution (OER) and hydrogen evolution (HER) activities. The porous wrinkled morphology of the 3D-LIG offers a large surface area and facilitates electrolyte influx within channels. Whereas strongly anchored CuO and Pt NPs enable
Green hydrogen can be produced directly in a photoelectrochemical cell, splitting water with solar energy. However, this requires the development of super-efficient photoelectrodes that need to co .
