Porous Nickel-Iron Oxide as a Highly Efficient Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

ABSTRACT: A porous Ni-Fe oxide with improved crystallinity has been prepared as a highly efficient electrocatalytic water oxidation catalyst. It has a small overpotential, a low Tafel slope, and an outstanding stability. The remarkably improved electrocatalytic performance is due to the porous structure, high extent homogeneous iron incorporation, ameliorative crystallinity, and the low mass transfer resistance.

Chromium-ruthenium oxide solid solution electrocatalyst for highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction in acidic media.

Project description:The development of active, acid-stable and low-cost electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction is urgent and challenging. Herein we report an Iridium-free and low ruthenium-content oxide material (Cr0.6Ru0.4O2) derived from metal-organic framework with remarkable oxygen evolution reaction performance in acidic condition. It shows a record low overpotential of 178?mV at 10?mA?cm-2 and maintains the excellent performance throughout the 10?h chronopotentiometry test at a constant current of 10?mA?cm-2 in 0.5?M H2SO4 solution. Density functional theory calculations further revealed the intrinsic mechanism for the exceptional oxygen evolution reaction performance, highlighting the influence of chromium promoter on the enhancement in both activity and stability.

Highly Efficient Oxygen Evolution Reaction Enabled by Phosphorus Doping of the Fe Electronic Structure in Iron-Nickel Selenide Nanosheets.

Project description:The electronic structure of active sites is critically important for electrochemical reactions. Here, the authors report a facile approach to independently regulate the electronic structure of Fe in Ni0.75 Fe0.25 Se2 by P doping. The resulting electrode exhibits superior catalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) showing a low overpotential (238 mV at 100 mA cm-2 , 185 mV at 10 mA cm-2 ) and an impressive durability in an alkaline medium. Additionally, the mass activity of 328.19 A g-1 and turnover frequency (TOF) of 0.18 s-1 at an overpotential of 500 mV are obtained for P─Ni0.75 Fe0.25 Se2 which is much higher than that of Ni0.75 Fe0.25 Se2 and RuO2 . This work presents a new strategy for the rational design of efficient electrocatalysts for OER.

Hierarchical Nickel-Cobalt Dichalcogenide Nanostructure as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Evolution Reaction and a Zn-Air Battery.

Project description:A unique three-dimensional (3D) structure consisting of a hierarchical nickel-cobalt dichalcogenide spinel nanostructure is investigated for its electrocatalytic properties at benign neutral and alkaline pH and applied as an air cathode for practical zinc-air batteries. The results show a high oxygen evolution reaction catalytic activity of nickel-cobalt sulfide nanosheet arrays grown on carbon cloth (NiCo2S4 NS/CC) over the commercial benchmarking catalyst under both pH conditions. In particular, the NiCo2S4 NS/CC air cathode shows high discharge capacity, a narrow potential gap between discharge and charge, and superior cycle durability with reversibility, which exceeds that of commercial precious metal-based electrodes. The excellent performance of NiCo2S4 NS/CC in water electrolyzers and zinc-air batteries is mainly due to highly exposed electroactive sites with a rough surface, morphology-based advantages of nanosheet arrays, good adhesion between NiCo2S4 and the conducting carbon cloth, and the active layer formed of nickel-cobalt (oxy)hydroxides during water splitting. These results suggest that NiCo2S4 NS/CC could be a promising candidate as an efficient electrode for high-performance water electrolyzers and rechargeable zinc-air batteries.

A nickel iron diselenide-derived efficient oxygen-evolution catalyst.

Project description:Efficient oxygen-evolution reaction catalysts are required for the cost-effective generation of solar fuels. Metal selenides have been reported as promising oxygen-evolution catalysts; however, their active forms are yet to be elucidated. Here we show that a representative selenide catalyst, nickel selenide, is entirely converted into nickel hydroxide under oxygen-evolution conditions. This result indicates that metal selenides are unstable during oxygen evolution, and the in situ generated metal oxides are responsible for their activity. This knowledge inspired us to synthesize nanostructured nickel iron diselenide, a hitherto unknown metal selenide, and to use it as a templating precursor to a highly active nickel iron oxide catalyst. This selenide-derived oxide catalyses oxygen evolution with an overpotential of only 195?mV for 10?mA?cm(-2). Our work underscores the importance of identifying the active species of oxygen-evolution catalysts, and demonstrates how such knowledge can be applied to develop better catalysts.

An Unconventional Iron Nickel Catalyst for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a key process that enables the storage of renewable energies in the form of chemical fuels. Here, we describe a catalyst that exhibits turnover frequencies higher than state-of-the-art catalysts that operate in alkaline solutions, including the benchmark nickel iron oxide. This new catalyst is easily prepared from readily available and industrially relevant nickel foam, and it is stable for many hours. Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopic data reveal that the catalyst is made of nanoclusters of γ-FeOOH covalently linked to a γ-NiOOH support. According to density functional theory (DFT) computations, this structure may allow a reaction path involving iron as the oxygen evolving center and a nearby terrace O site on the γ-NiOOH support oxide as a hydrogen acceptor.

Amorphous Cobalt Vanadium Oxide as a Highly Active Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Evolution.

Project description:The water-splitting reaction provides a promising mechanism to store renewable energies in the form of hydrogen fuel. The oxidation half-reaction, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), is a complex four-electron process that constitutes an efficiency bottleneck in water splitting. Here we report a highly active OER catalyst, cobalt vanadium oxide. The catalyst is designed on the basis of a volcano plot of metal-OH bond strength and activity. The catalyst can be synthesized by a facile hydrothermal route. The most active pure-phase material (a-CoVO x ) is X-ray amorphous and provides a 10 mA cm-2 current density at an overpotential of 347 mV in 1 M KOH electrolyte when immobilized on a flat substrate. The synthetic method can also be applied to coat a high-surface-area substrate such as nickel foam. On this three-dimensional substrate, the a-CoVO x catalyst is highly active, reaching 10 mA cm-2 at 254 mV overpotential, with a Tafel slope of only 35 mV dec-1. This work demonstrates a-CoVO x as a promising electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution and validates M-OH bond strength as a practical descriptor in OER catalysis.

Oxygen Isotope Labeling Experiments Reveal Different Reaction Sites for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction on Nickel and Nickel Iron Oxides.

Project description:Nickel iron oxide is considered a benchmark nonprecious catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the nature of the active site in nickel iron oxide is heavily debated. Here we report direct spectroscopic evidence for the different active sites in Fe-free and Fe-containing Ni oxides. Ultrathin layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were used as defined samples of metal oxide catalysts, and 18 O-labeling experiments in combination with in?situ Raman spectroscopy were employed to probe the role of lattice oxygen as well as an active oxygen species, NiOO- , in the catalysts. Our data show that lattice oxygen is involved in the OER for Ni and NiCo LDHs, but not for NiFe and NiCoFe LDHs. Moreover, NiOO- is a precursor to oxygen for Ni and NiCo LDHs, but not for NiFe and NiCoFe LDHs. These data indicate that bulk Ni sites in Ni and NiCo oxides are active and evolve oxygen via a NiOO- precursor. Fe incorporation not only dramatically increases the activity, but also changes the nature of the active sites.

Facile efficient earth abundant NiO/C composite electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction.

Project description:Due to the increasing energy consumption, designing efficient electrocatalysts for electrochemical water splitting is highly demanded. In this study, we provide a facile approach for the design and fabrication of efficient and stable electrocatalysts through wet chemical methods. The carbon material, obtained by the dehydration of sucrose sugar, provides high surface area for the deposition of NiO nanostructures and the resulting NiO/C catalysts show higher activity towards the OER in alkaline media. During the OER, a composite of NiO with 200 mg C can produce current densities of 10 and 20 mA cm-2 at a bias of 1.45 V and 1.47 V vs. RHE, respectively. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experiments showed the lowest charge transfer resistance and the highest double layer capacitance in the case of the NiO/C composite with 200 mg C. The presence of C for the deposition of NiO nanostructures increases the active centers and consequently a robust electrocatalytic activity is achieved. The obtained results in terms of the low overpotential and small Tafel slope of 55 mV dec-1 for non-precious catalysts are clear indications for the significant advancement in the field of electrocatalyst design for water splitting. This composite material based on NiO/C is simple and scalable for widespread use in various applications, especially in supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries.

Facile Synthesis of Cobalt Oxide as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is receiving a lot of attention because it produces clean energy hydrogen. Catalyst is the key to the promotion and application of HER. However, the precious metal catalysts with good catalytic performance are expensive, and the preparation process of non-precious metal catalysts is extremely complicated. The simple preparation process is the most important problem to be solved in HER catalyst development. We synthetized cobalt oxide (CoOx) catalyst for HER through a simple hydrothermal process. The CoOx catalyst shows excellent HER catalytic activity. Characterization results reveal that there are a great deal of surface hydroxyl groups or oxygen vacancy on the surface of CoOx catalyst. In alkaline media the CoOx catalyst shows an over-potential of 112 mV at 20 mA cm-2 and a small Tafel slope of 94 mV dec-1. This paper provides a simple and easy method for HER catalyst preparation.

Oxygen-evolution reaction by nickel/nickel oxide interface in the presence of ferrate(VI).

Project description:In this study, we investigate the effect of K2FeO4, as a new and soluble Fe salt at alkaline conditions, on oxygen-evolution reaction (OER) of Ni oxide. Both oxidation and reduction peaks for Ni in the presence and absence of Fe are linearly changed by (scan rate)1/2. Immediately after the interaction of [FeO4]2- with the surface of the electrode, a significant increase in OER is observed. This could be indicative of the fact that either the [FeO4]2- on the surface of Ni oxide is directly involved in OER, or, it is important to activate Ni oxide toward OER. Due to the change in the Ni(II)/(III) peak, it is hypothesized that Fe impurity in KOH or electrochemical cell has different effects at the potential range. At low potential, [FeO4]2- is reduced on the surface of the electrode, and thus, is significantly adsorbed on the electrode. Finally, oxygen-evolution measurements of K2FeO4 and Ni2O3 are investigated under chemical conditions. K2FeO4 is not stable in the presence of Ni(II) oxide, and OER is observed in a KOH solution (pH???13).
