Novel mixed heterovalent (Mo/Co)Ox-zerovalent Cu system as bi-functional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

Project description:A novel hybrid ternary metallic electrocatalyst of amorphous Mo/Co oxides and crystallized Cu metal was deposited over Ni foam using a one-pot, simple, and scalable solvothermal technique. The chemical structure of the prepared ternary electrocatalyst was systematically characterized and confirmed via XRD, FTIR, EDS, and XPS analysis techniques. FESEM images of (Mo/Co)Ox-Cu@NF display the formation of 3D hierarchical structure with a particle size range of 3-5 µm. The developed (Mo/Co)Ox-Cu@NF ternary electrocatalyst exhibits the maximum activity with 188 mV and 410 mV overpotentials at 50 mA cm-2 for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), respectively. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results for the (Mo/Co)Ox-Cu@NF sample demonstrate the minimum charge transfer resistance (Rct) and maximum constant phase element (CPE) values. A two-electrode cell based on the ternary electrocatalyst just needs a voltage of about 1.86 V at 50 mA cm-2 for overall water splitting (OWS). The electrocatalyst shows satisfactory durability during the OWS for 24 h at 10 mA cm-2 with an increase of only 33 mV in the cell potential.

Synergistic Effect of P Doping and Mo-Ni-Based Heterostructure Electrocatalyst for Overall Water Splitting.

Project description:Heterostructure construction and heteroatom doping are powerful strategies for enhancing the electrolytic efficiency of electrocatalysts for overall water splitting. Herein, we present a P-doped MoS2/Ni3S2 electrocatalyst on nickel foam (NF) prepared using a one-step hydrothermal method. The optimized P[0.9mM]-MoS2/Ni3S2@NF exhibits a cluster nanoflower-like morphology, which promotes the synergistic electrocatalytic effect of the heterostructures with abundant active centers, resulting in high catalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline electrolyte. The electrode exhibits low overpotentials and Tafel slopes for the HER and OER. In addition, the catalyst electrode used in a two-electrode system for overall water splitting requires an ultralow voltage of 1.42 V at 10 mA·cm-2 and shows no obvious increase in current within 35 h, indicating excellent stability. Therefore, the combination of P doping and the heterostructure suggests a novel path to formulate high-performance electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.

A pyrolysis-free Ni/Fe bimetallic electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

Project description:Catalysts capable of electrochemical overall water splitting in acidic, neutral, and alkaline solution are important materials. This work develops bifunctional catalysts with single atom active sites through a pyrolysis-free route. Starting with a conjugated framework containing Fe sites, the addition of Ni atoms is used to weaken the adsorption of electrochemically generated intermediates, thus leading to more optimized energy level sand enhanced catalytic performance. The pyrolysis-free synthesis also ensured the formation of well-defined active sites within the framework structure, providing ideal platforms to understand the catalytic processes. The as-prepared catalyst exhibits efficient catalytic capability for electrochemical water splitting in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes. At a current density of 10 mA cm-2, the overpotential for hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution is 23/201 mV and 42/194 mV in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1 M KOH, respectively. Our work not only develops a route towards efficient catalysts applicable across a wide range of pH values, it also provides a successful showcase of a model catalyst for in-depth mechanistic insight into electrochemical water splitting.

Metal-organic framework-based CoP/reduced graphene oxide: high-performance bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

Project description:Efficient and cost-effective electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), especially bifunctional catalysts for overall water splitting, are highly desired. In this work, with rationally designed sandwich-type metal-organic framework/graphene oxide as a template and precursor, a layered CoP/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite has been successfully prepared via pyrolysis and a subsequent phosphating process. The resultant CoP/rGO-400 exhibits excellent HER activity in acid solution. More importantly, the catalyst manifests excellent catalytic performances for both the HER and OER in basic solution. Therefore, it can be utilized as a bifunctional catalyst on both the anode and cathode for overall water splitting in basic media, even displaying superior activity to that of the integrated Pt/C and IrO2 catalyst couple.

Exfoliated graphite with spinel oxide as an effective hybrid electrocatalyst for water splitting.

Project description:The aim of the conducted research was to develop hybrid nanostructures formed from MnCo2O4 and exfoliated graphite. Carbon added during the synthesis allowed for obtaining a well-distributed MnCo2O4 particle size with exposed active sites contributing to the increased electric conductivity. The influence of the weight ratios of carbon to a catalyst for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions was investigated. The new bifunctional catalysts for water splitting were tested in an alkaline medium with excellent electrochemical performance and very good working stability. The results for hybrid samples show better electrochemical performance compared to the pure MnCo2O4. The highest electrocatalytic activity was for sample MnCo2O4/EG (2/1), where the value of the overpotential was 1.66 V at 10 mA cm-2, and also for this sample a low value of Tafel slope (63 mV dec-1) was denoted.

Ni2P/rGO/NF Nanosheets As a Bifunctional High-Performance Electrocatalyst for Water Splitting.

Project description:The hydrogen generated via the water splitting method is restricted by the high level of theoretical potential exhibited by the anode. The work focuses on synthesizing a bifunctional catalyst with a high efficiency, that is, a nickel phosphide doped with the reduced graphene oxide nanosheets supported on the Ni foam (Ni2P/rGO/NF), via the hydrothermal approach together with the calcination approach specific to the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The Raman, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), as well as elemental mapping, are adopted to study the composition and morphology possessed by Ni2P/rGO/NF. The electrochemical testing is performed by constructing a parallel two-electrode electrolyzer (Ni2P/rGO/NF||Ni2P/rGO/NF). Ni2P/rGO/NF||Ni2P/rGO/NF needs a voltage of only 1.676 V for driving 10 mA/cm2, which is extremely close to Pt/C/NF||IrO2/NF (1.502 V). It is possible to maintain the current density for no less than 30 hours. It can be demonstrated that Ni2P/rGO/NF||Ni2P/rGO/NF has commercial feasibility, relying on the strong activity and high stability.

Enhanced Overall Water-Splitting Performance: Oleylamine-Functionalized GO/Cu2ZnSnS4 Composite as a Nobel Metal-Free and NonPrecious Electrocatalyst.

Project description:Using emergent highly proficient and inexpensive non-noble metal-based bifunctional electrocatalysts to overall water splitting reaction is a pleasingly optional approach to resolve greenhouse gases and energy anxiety. In this work, oleylamine-functionalized graphene oxide/Cu2ZnSnS4 composite (OAm-GO/CZTS) is prepared and investigated as a higher bifunctional electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The OAm-GO/CZTS shows brilliant electrocatalytic performance and durability toward H2 and O2 in both acidic and basic media, with overpotentials of 47 mV for HER and 1.36 V for OER at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and Tafel slopes of 64 and 91 mV dec-1, respectively, which are extremely higher to those of transition metal chalcogenide and as good as of commercial precious-metal catalysts.

Impact of morphology and oxygen vacancy content in Ni, Fe co-doped ceria for efficient electrocatalyst based water splitting.

Project description:Designing a highly efficient, low-cost, sustainable electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) through water splitting is a current challenge for renewable energy technologies. This work presents a modified sol-gel route to prepare metal-ion(s) doped cerium oxide nanostructures as an efficient electrocatalyst for overall water splitting. Nickle (Ni) and iron (Fe) co-doping impacts the morphology in cerium oxide resulting in 5 nm nanoparticles with a mesoporous-like microstructure. The high level 20 mol% (1 : 1 ratio) of Ni + Fe bimetal-ion(s) doped CeO2 shows excellent HER and OER activities compared to the monodoped Fe/Ni and pristine CeO2. The co-doped catalysts required a low overpotential of 104 mV and 380 mV for HER and OER, respectively, in 1 M KOH, at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The Tafel slopes of 95 mV dec-1 and 65 mV dec-1 were measured for HER and OER with the same representative samples which demonstrated excellent stability even after continuous operation for 20 hours in the alkaline medium. The unique morphology, enhanced oxygen vacancy (Ov) content and the synergistic effects of dopants in CeO2 play essential roles in enhancing the activities of Ni + Fe doped samples.

Bimetallic Nickel Cobalt Sulfide as Efficient Electrocatalyst for Zn-Air Battery and Water Splitting.

Project description:The development of efficient earth-abundant electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction, oxygen evolution, and hydrogen evolution reactions (ORR, OER, and HER) is important for future energy conversion and energy storage devices, for which both rechargeable Zn-air batteries and water splitting have raised great expectations. Herein, we report a single-phase bimetallic nickel cobalt sulfide ((Ni,Co)S2) as an efficient electrocatalyst for both OER and ORR. Owing to the synergistic combination of Ni and Co, the (Ni,Co)S2 exhibits superior electrocatalytic performance for ORR, OER, and HER in an alkaline electrolyte, and the first principle calculation results indicate that the reaction of an adsorbed O atom with a H2O molecule to form a *OOH is the potential limiting step in the OER. Importantly, it could be utilized as an advanced air electrode material in Zn-air batteries, which shows an enhanced charge-discharge performance (charging voltage of 1.71 V and discharge voltage of 1.26 V at 2 mA cm-2), large specific capacity (842 mAh gZn -1 at 5 mA cm-2), and excellent cycling stability (480 h). Interestingly, the (Ni,Co)S2-based Zn-air battery can efficiently power an electrochemical water-splitting unit with (Ni,Co)S2 serving as both the electrodes. This reveals that the prepared (Ni,Co)S2 has promising applications in future energy conversion and energy storage devices.
