Nanostructured copper molybdates as promising bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting and CO2 reduction.

Project description:Overall water splitting and CO2 reduction are two very important reactions from the environmental viewpoint. The former produces hydrogen as a clean fuel and the latter decreases the amount of CO2 emissions and thus reduces greenhouse effects. Here, we prepare two types of copper molybdate, CuMoO4 and Cu3Mo2O9, and electrochemically investigate them for water splitting and CO2 reduction. Our findings show that Cu3Mo2O9 is a better electrocatalyst for full water splitting compared to CuMoO4. It provides overpotentials, which are smaller than the overpotentials of CuMoO4 by around 0.14 V at a current density of 1 mA cm-2 and 0.10 V at -0.4 mA cm-2, for water oxidation and hydrogen evolution reactions, respectively. However, CuMoO4 adsorbs CO2 and the reduced intermediates/products more strongly than Cu3Mo2O9. Such different behaviors of these electrocatalysts can be attributed to their different unit cells.

High-Index-Faceted Ni3S2 Branch Arrays as Bifunctional Electrocatalysts for Efficient Water Splitting.

Project description:For efficient electrolysis of water for hydrogen generation or other value-added chemicals, it is highly relevant to develop low-temperature synthesis of low-cost and high-efficiency metal sulfide electrocatalysts on a large scale. Herein, we construct a new core-branch array and binder-free electrode by growing Ni3S2 nanoflake branches on an atomic-layer-deposited (ALD) TiO2 skeleton. Through induced growth on the ALD-TiO2 backbone, cross-linked Ni3S2 nanoflake branches with exposed {[Formula: see text]} high-index facets are uniformly anchored to the preformed TiO2 core forming an integrated electrocatalyst. Such a core-branch array structure possesses large active surface area, uniform porous structure, and rich active sites of the exposed {[Formula: see text]} high-index facet in the Ni3S2 nanoflake. Accordingly, the TiO2@Ni3S2 core/branch arrays exhibit remarkable electrocatalytic activities in an alkaline medium, with lower overpotentials for both oxygen evolution reaction (220 mV at 10 mA cm-2) and hydrogen evolution reaction (112 mV at 10 mA cm-2), which are better than those of other Ni3S2 counterparts. Stable overall water splitting based on this bifunctional electrolyzer is also demonstrated.

Ultradispersed Ir x Ni clusters as bifunctional electrocatalysts for high-efficiency water splitting in acid electrolytes.

Project description:Design and synthesis of electrocatalysts with high activity and low cost is an important challenge for water splitting. We report a rapid and facile synthetic route to obtain Ir x Ni clusters via polyol reduction. The Ir x Ni clusters show excellent activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic electrolytes. The optimized Ir2Ni/C clusters exhibit an electrochemical active area of 18.27 mF cm-2, with the overpotential of OER being 292 mV and HER being 30 mV at 10 mA cm-2, respectively. In addition, the Ir2Ni/C used as the cathode and anode for the H-type hydrolysis tank only needs 1.597 V cell voltages. The excellent electrocatalytic performance is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect between the metals and the ultra-fine particle size. This study provides a novel strategy that has a broad application for water splitting.

Bifunctional Electrocatalysts Based on Mo-Doped NiCoP Nanosheet Arrays for Overall Water Splitting.

Project description:Rational design of efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts is highly imperative but still a challenge for overall water splitting. Herein, we construct novel freestanding Mo-doped NiCoP nanosheet arrays by the hydrothermal and phosphation processes, serving as bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting. Notably, Mo doping could effectively modulate the electronic structure of NiCoP, leading to the increased electroactive site and improved intrinsic activity of each site. Furthermore, an electrochemical activation strategy is proposed to form Mo-doped (Ni,Co)OOH to fully boost the electrocatalytic activities for oxygen evolution reaction. Benefiting from the unique freestanding structure and Mo doping, Mo-doped NiCoP and (Ni,Co)OOH show the remarkable electrochemical performances, which are competitive among current researches. In addition, an overall water splitting device assembled by both electrodes only requires a cell voltage of 1.61 V to reach a current density of 10 mA cm-2. Therefore, this work opens up new avenues for designing nonprecious bifunctional electrocatalysts by Mo doping and in situ electrochemical activation.

(Fe0.2Ni0.8)0.96S tubular spheres supported on Ni foam as an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

Project description:Earth-abundant and efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are highly significant for renewable energy systems. However, the performance of existing electrocatalysts is usually restricted by the low electroic conductivity and the limited amount of exposed active sites. In this work, (Fe0.2Ni0.8)0.96S tubular spheres supported on Ni foam have been prepared by a sulfuration of FeNi layered double hydroxide spheres grown on Ni foam. Benefiting from the unique tubular sphere architecture, the rich inner defects and the enhanced electron interactions between Fe, Ni and S, this electrocatalyst shows low overpotential of 48 mV for HER at 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 mol L-1 KOH solution, which is one of the lowest value of non-previous electrocatalyts for HER in alkaline electrolyte. Furthermore, assembled this versatile electrode as an alkaline electrolyzer for overall water splitting, a current density of 10 mA cm-2 is achieved at a low cell voltage of 1.56 V, and reach up to 30 mA cm-2 only at an operating cell voltage of 1.65 V.

Hierarchical 0D-2D Co/Mo Selenides as Superior Bifunctional Electrocatalysts for Overall Water Splitting.

Project description:Development of efficient electrocatalysts combining the features of low cost and high performance for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) still remains a critical challenge. Here, we proposed a facile strategy to construct in situ a novel hierarchical heterostructure composed of 0D-2D CoSe2/MoSe2 by the selenization of CoMoO4 nanosheets grafted on a carbon cloth (CC). In such integrated structure, CoSe2 nanoparticles dispersed well and tightly bonded with MoSe2 nanosheets, which can not only enhance kinetics due to the synergetic effects, thus promoting the electrocatalytic activity, but also effectively improve the structural stability. Benefiting from its unique architecture, the designed CoSe2/MoSe2 catalyst exhibits superior OER and HER performance. Specifically, a small overpotential of 280 mV is acquired at a current density of 10 mA·cm-2 for OER with a small Tafel slope of 86.8 mV·dec-1, and the overpotential is 90 mV at a current density of 10 mA·cm-2 for HER with a Tafel slope of 84.8 mV·dec-1 in 1 M KOH. Furthermore, the symmetrical electrolyzer assembled with the CoSe2/MoSe2 catalysts depicts a small cell voltage of 1.63 V at 10 mA·cm-2 toward overall water splitting.

Metal-Organic Framework Derived Ni2P/FeP@NPC Heterojunction as Stability Bifunctional Electrocatalysts for Large Current Density Water Splitting.

Project description:The construction of heterojunction has been widely accepted as a prospective strategy for the exploration of non-precious metal-based catalysts that possess high-performance to achieve electrochemical water splitting. Herein, we design and prepare a metal-organic framework derived N, P-doped-carbon-encapsulated Ni2P/FeP nanorod with heterojunction (Ni2P/FeP@NPC) for accelerating the water splitting and working stably at industrially relevant high current densities. Electrochemical results confirmed that Ni2P/FeP@NPC could both accelerate the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. It could substantially expedite the overall water splitting (1.94 V for 100 mA cm-2) which is close to the performance of RuO2 and the Pt/C couple (1.92 V for 100 mA cm-2). In particular, the durability test exhibited that Ni2P/FeP@NPC delivers 500 mA cm-2 without decay after 200 h, demonstrating the great potential for large-scale applications. Furthermore, the density functional theory simulations demonstrated that the heterojunction interface could give rise to the redistribution of electrons, which could not only optimize the adsorption energy of H-containing intermediates to achieve the optimal ΔGH* in a hydrogen evolution reaction, but also reduce the ΔG value in the rate-determining step of an oxygen evolution reaction, thus improving the HER/OER performance.

Bifunctional non-noble metal oxide nanoparticle electrocatalysts through lithium-induced conversion for overall water splitting.

Project description:Developing earth-abundant, active and stable electrocatalysts which operate in the same electrolyte for water splitting, including oxygen evolution reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction, is important for many renewable energy conversion processes. Here we demonstrate the improvement of catalytic activity when transition metal oxide (iron, cobalt, nickel oxides and their mixed oxides) nanoparticles (∼20 nm) are electrochemically transformed into ultra-small diameter (2-5 nm) nanoparticles through lithium-induced conversion reactions. Different from most traditional chemical syntheses, this method maintains excellent electrical interconnection among nanoparticles and results in large surface areas and many catalytically active sites. We demonstrate that lithium-induced ultra-small NiFeOx nanoparticles are active bifunctional catalysts exhibiting high activity and stability for overall water splitting in base. We achieve 10 mA cm(-2) water-splitting current at only 1.51 V for over 200 h without degradation in a two-electrode configuration and 1 M KOH, better than the combination of iridium and platinum as benchmark catalysts.
