Exceptional oxygen evolution reactivities on CaCoO₃ and SrCoO₃.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the roles of covalent bonding, separation of surface oxygen, and electrolyte pH on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on transition metal oxides by comparing catalytic onset potentials and activities of CaCoO₃ and SrCoO₃. Both cubic, metallic perovskites have similar Co^IV intermediate spin states and onset potentials, but a substantially smaller lattice parameter and shorter surface oxygen separation make CaCoO₃ a more stable catalyst with increased OER activity. The onset potentials are similar, occurring where H⁺ is removed from surface -OH^-, but two competing surface reactions determine the catalytic activity. In one, the surface -O^- is attacked by electrolyte OH^- to form the surface -OOH^-; in the other, two -O^- form a surface peroxide ion and an oxygen vacancy with electrolyte OH^- attacking the oxygen vacancy. The second pathway can be faster if the surface oxygen separation is smaller.

Exceptional electrocatalytic oxygen evolution via tunable charge transfer interactions in La0.5Sr1.5Ni1-xFexO4±δ Ruddlesden-Popper oxides.

Project description:The electrolysis of water is of global importance to store renewable energy and the methodical design of next-generation oxygen evolution catalysts requires a greater understanding of the structural and electronic contributions that give rise to increased activities. Herein, we report a series of Ruddlesden-Popper La0.5Sr1.5Ni1-xFexO4±δ oxides that promote charge transfer via cross-gap hybridization to enhance electrocatalytic water splitting. Using selective substitution of lanthanum with strontium and nickel with iron to tune the extent to which transition metal and oxygen valence bands hybridize, we demonstrate remarkable catalytic activity of 10 mA cm-2 at a 360 mV overpotential and mass activity of 1930 mA mg-1ox at 1.63 V via a mechanism that utilizes lattice oxygen. This work demonstrates that Ruddlesden-Popper materials can be utilized as active catalysts for oxygen evolution through rational design of structural and electronic configurations that are unattainable in many other crystalline metal oxide phases.

Exceptional catalytic activity of oxygen evolution reaction via two-dimensional graphene multilayer confined metal-organic frameworks.

Project description:Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) plays a key role in many renewable energy technologies such as water splitting and metal-air batteries. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are appealing to design efficient OER electrocatalysts, however, their intrinsic poor conductivity strongly hinders the activity. Here, we show a strategy to boost the OER activity of poor-conductive MOFs by confining them between graphene multilayers. The resultant NiFe-MOF//G gives a record-low overpotential of 106 mV to reach 10 mA cm-2 and retains the activity over 150 h, which is in significant contrast to 399 mV of the pristine NiFe-MOF. We use X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and computations to demonstrate that the nanoconfinement from graphene multilayers not only forms highly reactive NiO6-FeO5 distorted octahedral species in MOF structure but also lowers limiting potential for water oxidation reaction. We also demonstrate that the strategy is applicable to other MOFs of different structures to largely enhance their electrocatalytic activities.

NiCoP-CeO2 composites for efficient electrochemical oxygen evolution.

Project description:In this study, a novel NiCoP-CeO2 composite was constructed on a Ni foam by a simple hydrothermal method and thermal phosphating strategy. In the OER test, NiCoP-CeO2 exhibited a low overpotential of 217 mV at 10 mA cm-2, 45 mV dec-1 of Tafel slopes. With the help of theoretical calculations and experimental characterization, the reason for performance improvement was analyzed in depth. The results show that CeO2 leads to a confinement effect, maintaining the nanosheet morphology of NiCo-LDHs, which contributes to sustaining the catalyst in favourable contact with H2O and minimizing the OER potential. Furthermore, by loading CeO2 onto NiCoP, the hydrophilicity of the catalyst is significantly enhanced. Our work provides an ingenious synthesis strategy for the preparation of efficient and inexpensive electrocatalytic materials.

Oxygen-Plasma-Induced Hetero-Interface NiFe2O4/NiMoO4 Catalyst for Enhanced Electrochemical Oxygen Evolution.

Project description:The electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen is an effective method for solving the rapid consumption of fossil fuel resources and the problem of global warming. The key to its success is to design an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst with efficient conversion and reliable stability. Interface engineering is one of the most effective approaches for adjusting local electronic configurations. Adding other metal elements is also an effective way to enrich active sites and improve catalytic activity. Herein, high-valence iron in a heterogeneous interface of NiFe2O4/NiMoO4 composite was obtained through oxygen plasma to achieve excellent electrocatalytic activity and stability. In particular, 270 mV of overpotential is required to reach a current density of 50 mA cm-2, and the overpotential required to reach 500 mA cm-2 is only 309 mV. The electron transfer effect for high-valence iron was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The fast and irreversible reconstruction and the true active species in the catalytic process were identified by in situ Raman, ex situ XPS, and ex situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. This work provides a feasible design guideline to modify electronic structures, promote a metal to an active oxidation state, and thus develop an electrocatalyst with enhanced OER performance.

5f Covalency Synergistically Boosting Oxygen Evolution of UCoO4 Catalyst.

Project description:Electronic structure modulation among multiple metal sites is key to the design of efficient catalysts. Most studies have focused on regulating 3d transition-metal active ions through other d-block metals, while few have utilized f-block metals. Herein, we report a new class of catalyst, namely, UCoO4 with alternative CoO6 and 5f-related UO6 octahedra, as a unique example of a 5f-covalent compound that exhibits enhanced electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity because of the presence of the U 5f-O 2p-Co 3d network. UCoO4 exhibits a low overpotential of 250 mV at 10 mA cm-2, surpassing other unitary cobalt-based catalysts ever reported. X-ray absorption spectroscopy revealed that the Co2+ ion in pristine UCoO4 was converted to high-valence Co3+/4+, while U6+ remained unchanged during the OER, indicating that only Co was the active site. Density functional theory calculations demonstrated that the OER activity of Co3+/4+ was synergistically enhanced by the covalent bonding of U6+-5f in the U 5f-O 2p-Co 3d network. This study opens new avenues for the realization of electronic structure manipulation via unique 5f involvement.

MOF-Derived CoSe2@NiFeOOH Arrays for Efficient Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Water electrolysis is a compelling method for the production of environmentally friendly hydrogen, minimizing carbon emissions. The electrolysis of water heavily relies on an effective and steady oxygen evolution reaction (OER) taking place at the anode. Herein, we introduce a highly promising catalyst for OER called CoSe2@NiFeOOH arrays, which are supported on nickel foam. This catalyst, referred to as CoSe2@NiFeOOH/NF, is fabricated through a two-step process involving the selenidation of a Co-based porous metal organic framework and subsequent electrochemical deposition on nickel foam. The CoSe2@NiFeOOH/NF catalyst demonstrates outstanding activity for the OER in an alkaline electrolyte. It exhibits a low overpotential (η) of 254 mV at 100 mA cm-2, a small Tafel slope of 73 mV dec-1, and excellent high stability. The good performance of CoSe2@NiFeOOH/NF can be attributed to the combination of the high conductivity of the inner layer and the synergistic effect between CoSe2 and NiFeOOH. This study offers an effective method for the fabrication of highly efficient catalysts for an OER.

Etching-Induced Surface Reconstruction of NiMoO4 for Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Rational reconstruction of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) pre-catalysts and performance index of OER catalysts are crucial but still challenging for universal water electrolysis. Herein, we develop a double-cation etching strategy to tailor the electronic structure of NiMoO4, where the prepared NiMoO4 nanorods etched by H2O2 reconstruct their surface with abundant cation deficiencies and lattice distortion. Calculation results reveal that the double cation deficiencies can make the upshift of d-band center for Ni atoms and the active sites with better oxygen adsorption capacity. As a result, the optimized sample (NMO-30M) possesses an overpotential of 260 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and excellent long-term durability of 162 h. Importantly, in situ Raman test reveals the rapid formation of high-oxidation-state transition metal hydroxide species, which can further help to improve the catalytic activity of NiMoO4 in OER. This work highlights the influence of surface remodification and shed some light on activating catalysts.

Development of Highly Active Bifunctional Electrocatalyst Using Co3O4 on Carbon Nanotubes for Oxygen Reduction and Oxygen Evolution.

Project description:Replacement of precious platinum catalyst with efficient and cheap bifunctional alternatives would be significantly beneficial for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the application of these catalysts in fuel cells is highly crucial. Despite numerous studies on electrocatalysts, the development of bifunctional electrocatalysts with comparatively better activity and low cost remains a big challenge. In this paper, we report a nanomaterial consisting of nanocactus-shaped Co3O4 grown on carbon nanotubes (Co3O4/CNTs) and employed as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for the simultaneous catalysis on ORR, and OER. The Co3O4/CNTs exhibit superior catalytic activity toward ORR and OER with the smallest potential difference (0.72 V) between the [Formula: see text] (1.55 V) for OER and E1/2 (0.83 V) for ORR. Thus, Co3O4/CNTs are promising high-performance and cost-effective bifunctional catalysts for ORR and OER because of their overall superior catalytic activity and stability compared with 20 wt% Pt/C and RuO2, respectively. The superior catalytic activity arises from the unique nanocactus-like structure of Co3O4 and the synergetic effects of Co3O4 and CNTs.

MnOx/IrOx as Selective Oxygen Evolution Electrocatalyst in Acidic Chloride Solution.

Project description:The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and chlorine evolution reaction (CER) are electrochemical processes with high relevance to water splitting for (solar) energy conversion and industrial production of commodity chemicals, respectively. Carrying out the two reactions separately is challenging, since the catalytic intermediates are linked by scaling relations. Optimizing the efficiency of OER over CER in acidic media has proven especially difficult. In this regard, we have investigated the OER versus CER selectivity of manganese oxide (MnOx), a known OER catalyst. Thin films (?5-20 nm) of MnOx were electrodeposited on glassy carbon-supported hydrous iridium oxide (IrOx/GC) in aqueous chloride solutions of pH ?0.9. Using rotating ring-disk electrode voltammetry and online electrochemical mass spectrometry, it was found that deposition of MnOx onto IrO x decreases the CER selectivity of the system in the presence of 30 mM Cl- from 86% to less than 7%, making it a highly OER-selective catalyst. Detailed studies of the CER mechanism and ex-situ structure studies using SEM, TEM, and XPS suggest that the MnOx film is in fact not a catalytically active phase, but functions as a permeable overlayer that disfavors the transport of chloride ions.

Interface engineering of CeO2 nanoparticle/Bi2WO6 nanosheet nanohybrids with oxygen vacancies for oxygen evolution reactions under alkaline conditions.

Project description:Because of the interactive combination synergy effect, hetero interface engineering is used way for advancing electrocatalytic activity and durability. In this study, we demonstrate that a CeO2/Bi2WO6 heterostructure is synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Electrochemical measurement results indicate that CeO2/Bi2WO6 displays not only more OER catalytic active sites with an overpotential of 390 mV and a Tafel slope of 117 mV dec-1 but also durability for 10 h (97.57%). Such outstanding characteristics are primarily attributed to (1) the considerable activities by CeO2 nanoparticles uniformly distributed on Bi2WO6 nanosheets and (2) the plentiful Bi-O-Ce and W-O-Ce species playing the role of strong couples between CeO2 nanoparticles and Bi2WO6 nanosheets and oxygen vacancy existence in CeO2 nanoparticles, which can improve the electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) and activity, and enhance the conductivity for OERs. This CeO2/Bi2WO6 consists of the heterojunction engineering that can open a modern method of thinking for high effective OER electrocatalysts.
