The engineering of extremely e cient, low-cost, and stable electrocatalysts were required for the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, using hydrothermal technique, strontium telluride (SrTe/GC) nanoballs fabricated for water splitting to work e ciently as an e cient OER catalysts. According to physical and chemical characterizations, SrTe/GC nanoballs exhibits a three-dimensional form and homogeneous surface distribution, performing a low overpotential of 268 mV at 10 mA/cm 2 with small Tafel slope of 25 mV/dec. The fabricated material exhibits excellent stability of 24 hours with no decline in current density. The Te-induced metallic telluride and substantial covalency around the strontium center is responsible for this catalyst's outstanding performance. This study reveals the valuable insight of metal telluride materials to function as an extraordinarily e cient and stable OER catalysts at high current densities.
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.
