Lamella-heterostructured nanoporous bimetallic iron-cobalt alloy/oxyhydroxide and cerium oxynitride electrodes as stable catalysts for oxygen evolution
Abstract:Developing robust nonprecious-metal electrocatalysts with high activity towards sluggish oxygen-evolution reaction is paramount for large-scale hydrogen production via electrochemical water splitting. Here we report that self-supported laminate composite electrodes composed of alternating nanoporous bimetallic iron-cobalt alloy/oxyhydroxide and cerium oxynitride (FeCo/CeO2−xNx) heterolamellas hold great promise as highly efficient electrocatalysts for alkaline oxygen-evolution reaction. By virtue of three-dime… Show more
“…The structural and chemical stability of MoC–Mo 2 C-790, as well as the strong binding strength of 17 N between MoC–Mo 2 C and Mo substrates, allow for long-term operation in both acidic and alkaline solutions and withstand the H 2 erosion. For high-efficiency OER, a lamella-heterostructured nanoporous FeCo/CeO 2− x N x (NP FeCo/CeO 2− x N x ) was constructed, 177 requiring just a 360 mV overpotential to drive more than 3900 mA cm −2 . At an overpotential of 300 mV, the current density of the catalyst can reach 1195 mA cm −2 , satisfying the requirements of industrial water electrolyzers (>500 mA cm −2 at an overpotential of <300 mV).…”

“…12b). 156 During the rigorous oxygen evolution reaction (OER), Fe dissolution is an unavoidable process in FeCo/CeO 2− x N x . However, the dissolution rate of Fe in nanoporous FeCo/CeO 2− x N x was found to be approximately 0.477 μg h −1 , even at a high current density of approximately 1900 mA cm −2 .…”
