The highly dispersed Pt NPs anchored in hierarchically N, F co-doped hollow carbon spheres (Pt@N, F-HCS) was synthesized through a template-assisted strategy followed by fluorination and wet chemical reduction. Attributing...
Heteroatoms Fe, F co‐doped NiO hollow spheres (Fe, F‐NiO) are designed, which simultaneously integrate promoted thermodynamics by electronic structure modulation with boosted reaction kinetics by nano‐architectonics. Benefiting from the electronic structure co‐regulation of Ni sites by introducing Fe and F atoms in NiO , as the rate‐determined step (RDS), the Gibbs free energy of OH* intermediates (ΔGOH*) for Fe, F‐NiO catalyst is significantly decreased to 1.87 eV for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) compared with pristine NiO (2.23 eV), which reduces the energy barrier and improves the reaction activity. Besides, densities of states (DOS) result verifies the bandgap of Fe, F‐NiO(100) is significantly decreased compared with pristine NiO(100), which is beneficial to promote electrons transfer efficiency in electrochemical system. Profiting by the synergistic effect, the Fe, F‐NiO hollow spheres only require the overpotential of 215 mV for OER at 10 mA cm−2 and extraordinary durability under alkaline condition. The assembled Fe, F‐NiO||Fe‐Ni2P system only needs 1.51 V to reach 10 mA cm−2, also exhibits outstanding electrocatalytic durability for continuous operation. More importantly, replacing the sluggish OER by advanced sulfion oxidation reaction (SOR) not only can realize the energy saving H2 production and toxic substances degradation, but also bring additional economic benefits.
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.
