    摘要: A three-dimensional non-noble-metal-based electrocatalysis electrode structure is provided. The electrode structure includes one or more layers of fused and approximately aligned elongated electrocatalyst nanoparticles that include a non-noble metal alloy or non-noble metal compound. Anisotropic nanochannels are positioned between the fused and approximately aligned elongated electrocatalyst nanoparticles that are configured to transfer generated gas bubbles therethrough. The elongated electrocatalyst nanoparticles may be nanorods that may have a diameter of approximately 20 to 50 nanometers and a length of approximately 80 to 300 nanometers. The anisotropic nanochannels may have a channel width of approximately 50-150 nanometers. The non-noble metal may be one or more of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, molybdenum, or tungsten. The one or more layers of fused and approximately aligned elongated electrocatalyst nanoparticles may be 3-D printed elongated electrocatalyst nanoparticles, and each layer has a thickness of approximately 50 to 200 microns.
