New self-powered hydrogels that reversibly change electrical signals in response to circumambient multistimuli are of interest for the development of the next-generation smart sensing devices. In this work, a new...
Exploring non-precious metal-based electrocatalysts is still challenging in 21 st century. In this work, a series of hexagonal bipyramidal Ce-based PBA materials as precursors with different Fe/Co metal ratios, namely as CeFe x Co 1À x -PBA, are successfully constructed via co-precipitation method and converted into corresponding metal oxides (denoted as Fe x Co 1À x CeO y ) via thermal treatment. Then, they as electrocatalysts realize highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Especially, as-synthesized Fe 0.7 Co 0.3 CeO y electrocatalyst shows very low overpoten-tials of 320 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm À 2 and the Tafel slop of 98.4 mV dec À 1 in 1 M KOH with remarkable durability for 24 h, which was due to the synergistic effect of multi-metal FeCoCe centers. Furthermore, a two-electrode cell of Fe 0.7 Co 0.3 CeO y /NF j j Pt/C/NF realizes outstanding overall water splitting with a voltage of only 1.71 V at 10 mA cm À 2 and remarkable long-term durability, that is even superior to benchmark IrO 2 /NF j j Pt/C/NF counterpart.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
