Abstract:The development of efficient urea oxidation reaction (UOR) catalysts helps UOR replace the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in hydrogen production from water electrolysis. Here, we prepared Fe-doped Ni 2 P/NiSe 2 composite catalyst (Fe−Ni 2 P/NiSe 2 -12) by using phosphating-selenizating and acid etching to increase the intrinsic activity and active areas. Spectral characterization and theoretical calculations demonstrated that electrons flowed through the Ni−P−Fe−interface− Ni−Se−Fe, thus conferring high UOR a… Show more
“…169 In addition, it should also be rigorously demonstrated that the synergistic effect of heterostructures can produce a “1 + 1 > 2” effect. For example, Jiang et al 170 demonstrated that the performance of one-component mechanical mixing was much inferior to that of heterostructures, and Huang et al 171 used ECSA normalization curves to prove that the intrinsic activity of heterostructures was stronger than that of one-component structures.…”
This review focuses mainly on the overall facilitating effect of heterostructures on the OER process. The fabrication of heterostructured electrocatalysts and the relationship between their structures and electrocatalytic properties are discussed.
