Direct One-Step Growth of Bimetallic Ni₂Mo₃N on Ni Foam as an Efficient Oxygen Evolution Electrocatalyst.

ABSTRACT: A simple and economical synthetic route for direct one-step growth of bimetallic Ni₂Mo₃N nanoparticles on Ni foam substrate (Ni₂Mo₃N/NF) and its catalytic performance during an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are reported. The Ni₂Mo₃N/NF catalyst was obtained by annealing a mixture of a Mo precursor, Ni foam, and urea at 600 °C under N₂ flow using one-pot synthesis. Moreover, the Ni₂Mo₃N/NF exhibited high OER activity with low overpotential values (336.38 mV at 50 mA cm^-2 and 392.49 mV at 100 mA cm^-2) and good stability for 5 h in Fe-purified alkaline electrolyte. The Ni₂Mo₃N nanoparticle surfaces converted into amorphous surface oxide species during the OER, which might be attributed to the OER activity.

Ni-Rh-based bimetallic conductive MOF as a high-performance electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction.

Project description:Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently been considered the promising catalysts due to their merits of abundant metal sites, versatile coordination groups, and tunable porous structure. However, low electronic conductivity of most MOFs obstructs their direct application in electrocatalysis. In this work, we fabricate an Ni-Rh bimetallic conductive MOF ([Ni2.85Rh0.15(HHTP)2]n/CC) grown in situ on carbon cloth. Abundant nanopores in the conductive MOFs expose additional catalytic active sites, and the advantageous 2D π-conjugated structure helps accelerate charge transfer. Owing to the introduction of Rh, [Ni2.85Rh0.15(HHTP)2]n/CC exhibited substantially improved oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity and exhibited only an overpotential of 320 mV to achieve the current density of 20 mA cm-2. The remarkable OER performance confirmed by the electrochemical tests could be ascribed to the synergistic effect caused by the doped Rh together with Ni in [Ni2.85Rh0.15(HHTP)2]n/CC, thereby exhibiting outstanding electrocatalytic performance.

Spinel oxide CoFe2O4 grown on Ni foam as an efficient electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction.

Project description:The effect of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is important in water splitting. In this work, we develop sphere-like morphology spinel oxide CoFe2O4/NF by hydrothermal reaction and calcination, and the diameter of the spheres is about 111.1 nm. The CoFe2O4/NF catalyst exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performance with an overpotential of 273 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 78 mV dec-1. The cycling stability of CoFe2O4/NF is remarkable, and it only increased by 5 mV at a current density of 100 mA cm-2 after 3000 cycles. Therefore, this simple method to prepare CoFe2O4/NF can enhance the OER properties of electrocatalysts, which makes CoFe2O4/NF a promising material to replace noble metal-based catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction.

Co(OH)2 Nanosheets Supported on Laser Ablated Cu Foam: An Efficient Oxygen Evolution Reaction Electrocatalyst.

Project description:Highly efficient and low-cost non-noble metal based electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) have attracted more and more attention in recent years. However, the current research has been focused on the construction of novel OER electrocatalysts themselves, little attention has been paid to the modification of the substrates. In this work, a different strategy is proposed via laser ablation to fabricate the Cu foams with rich micro/nano-structures as OER substrates. Later, the precipitation conversion method was utilized to grow cobalt hydroxide on the laser fabricated Cu foams. The as-produced Cu/Cu oxides/Co(OH)2 electrocatalysts exhibit high OER activity in 1 M KOH, requiring an overpotential of only 259 mV at a current density of 50 mA cm-2 with excellent mild-term durability. The improved catalytic performance of the prepared samples can be attributed to the increased surface area, rich active sites, and the superhydrophilicity of the laser produced micro/nano-structures.

Nanoflake NiMn Layered Double Hydroxide Coated on Porous Membrane-like Ni-Foam for Sustainable and Efficient Electrocatalytic Oxygen Evolution.

Project description:Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have gained vast importance as an electrocatalyst for water electrolysis to produce carbon-neutral and clean hydrogen energy. In this work, we demonstrated the fabrication of nano-flake-like NiMn LDH thin film electrodes onto porous membrane-like Ni-foam by using a simple and cost-effective electrodeposition method for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Various Ni1-xMnx LDH (where x = 0.15, 0.25, 0.35, 0.50 and 0.75) thin film electrodes are utilized to achieve the optimal catalyst for an efficient and sustainable OER process. The various composition-dependent surface morphologies and porous-membrane-like structure provided the high electrochemical surface area along with abundant active sites facilitating the OER. The optimized catalyst referred to as Ni0.65Mn0.35 showed excellent OER properties with an ultralow overpotential of 253 mV at a current density of 50 mAcm-2, which outperforms other state-of-the art catalysts reported in the literature. The relatively low Tafel slope of 130 mV dec-1 indicates faster and more favorable reaction kinetics for OER. Moreover, Ni0.65Mn0.35 exhibits excellent durability over continuous operation of 20 h, indicating the great sustainability of the catalyst in an alkaline medium. This study provides knowledge for the fabrication and optimization of the OER catalyst electrode for water electrolysis.

VO2 as a Highly Efficient Electrocatalyst for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Herein, we report high electrocatalytic activity of monoclinic VO2 (M1 phase) for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for the first time. The single-phase VO2 (M1) nanoparticles are prepared in the form of uniformly covering the surface of individual carbon fibers constituting a carbon fiber paper (CFP). The VO2 nanoparticles reveal the metal-insulator phase transition at ca. 65 °C (heating) and 62 °C (cooling) with low thermal hysteresis, indicating a high concentration of structural defect which is considered a grain boundary among VO2 nanoparticles with some particle coalescence. Consequently, the VO2/CFP shows a high electrocatalytic OER activity with the lowest η10 (350 mV) and Tafel slope (46 mV/dec) values in a 1 M aqueous solution of KOH as compared to those of the vacuum annealed V2O5 and the hydrothermally grown VO2 (M1), α-V2O5, and γ'-V2O5. The catalytically active site is considered V4+ components and V4+/5+ redox couples in VO2. The oxidation state of V4+ is revealed to be more favorable to the OER catalysis compared to that of V5+ in vanadium oxide through comparative studies. Furthermore, the amount of V5+ component is found to be increased on the surface of VO2 catalyst during the OER, giving rise to the performance degradation. This work suggests V4+ and its redox couple as a novel active component for the OER in metal-oxide electrocatalysts.

One-Step Synthesis of NiFe Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheet Array/N-Doped Graphite Foam Electrodes for Oxygen Evolution Reactions.

Project description:Developing cost-effective and highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is vital for the production of clean hydrogen by electrocatalytic water splitting. Here, three dimensional nickel-iron layered double hydroxide (NiFe LDH) nanosheet arrays are in-situ fabricated on self-supporting nitrogen doped graphited foam (NGF) via a one-step hydrothermal process under an optimized amount of urea. The as prepared NiFe LDH/NGF electrode exhibits a remarkable activity toward OER with a low onset overpotential of 233 mV and a Tafel slope of 59.4 mV dec-1 as well as a long-term durability. Such good performance is attributed to the synergy among the doping effect, the binder-free characteristic, and the architecture of the nanosheet array.

Ni3S2 in Situ Grown on Ni Foam Coupled with Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Alkaline Solution.

Project description:Searching for a highly efficient electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline solution is still challenging. In this work, we report a HER electrocatalyst composed of Ni foam, Ni3S2, and nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NF@Ni3S2@NCNTs). The good lattice matching between Ni and Ni3S2, interstitial doping of C and N atoms, and synergistic effect of NCNTs make NF@Ni3S2@NCNTs highly efficient HER electrocatalysts in alkaline solution. NF@Ni3S2@NCNTs exhibit an overpotential of 93.89 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, a Tafel slope of 54 mV dec-1, and superior stability for HER in 1 M KOH solution. Our findings will promote the reasonable design and synthesis of an efficient electrocatalyst for HER in alkaline electrolytes.

In situ templating synthesis of mesoporous Ni-Fe electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction.

Project description:Low-cost and efficient electrocatalysts with high dispersion of active sites and high conductivity are of high importance for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we use amorphous mesoporous fumed silica (MFS) as a skeleton material to disperse Ni2+ and Fe3+ through a simple impregnation strategy. The MFS is in situ etched away during the OER process in 1 M KOH to prepare a stable mesoporous Ni-Fe electrocatalyst. The high specific surface area and abundant surface silanol groups in the mesoporous fumed silica afford rich anchor sites for fixing metal atoms via strong chemical metal-oxygen interactions. Raman and XPS investigations reveal that Ni2+ formed covalent bonds with surface Si-OH groups, and Fe3+ inserted into the framework of fumed silica forming Fe-O-Si bonds. The mesoporous Ni-Fe catalysts offer high charge transfer abilities in the OER process. When loaded on nickel foam, the optimal 2Ni1Fe-MFS catalyst exhibits an overpotential of 270 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 41 mV dec-1. Notably, 2Ni1Fe-MFS shows a turnover frequency value of 0.155 s-1 at an overpotential of 300 mV, which is 80 and 190 times higher than that of the state-of-the-art IrO2 and RuO2 catalysts. Furthermore, 2Ni1Fe-MFS exhibits 100% faradaic efficiency, large electrochemically active surface area, and good long-term durability, confirming its outstanding OER performance. Such high OER efficiency can be ascribed to the synergistic effect of high surface area, dense metal active sites and interfacial conductive path. This work provides a promising strategy to develop simple, cost-effective, and highly efficient porous Ni-Fe based catalysts for OER.

Morphology controlled synthesis of 2-D Ni–Ni3S2 and Ni3S2 nanostructures on Ni foam towards oxygen evolution reaction

Project description:Catalysts for oxygen evolution reactions (OER) are at the heart of key renewable energy technologies, and development of non-precious metal catalysts with high activity and stability remain a great challenge in this field. Among various material candidates, metal sulfides are receiving increasing attention. While morphology-dependent catalytic performances are well established in noble metal-based catalysts, relatively little is known for the morphology‒catalytic performance relationship in metal sulfide catalysts. In this study, uniform spider web-like Ni nanosheets–Ni3S2 and honeycomb-like Ni3S2 structures are deposited on nickel foam (Ni3S2/NF) by a facile one-step hydrothermal synthetic route. When used as an oxygen evolution electrode, the spider web-like Ni–Ni3S2/NF with the large exposed surface area shown excellent catalytic activity and stability with an overpotential of ~310 mV to achieve at 10 mA/cm2 and a Tafel slope of 63 mV/dec in alkaline media, which is superior to the honeycomb-like structure without Ni nanosheet. The low Tafel slope of the spider web-like Ni–Ni3S2/NF represents one of the best OER kinetics among nickel sulfide-based OER catalysts. The results point to the fact that performance of the metal sulfide electrocatalysts might be fine-tuned and optimized with morphological controls.
