Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) impedes the electrochemical water splitting for H2 production, ascribing to depressed kinetics of four proton-coupled transfer process. Transition metal oxides, especially bimetallic have been proven be promising OER electrocatalysts due their part unoccupied d-band characteristics. More interestingly, oxygen vacancies (Ov) easily constructed in transition oxides can modulate electron structures and thereby boost performance. However, most synthesized...
Balancing the activity and stability of electrocatalytic composites in acidic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is still a great challenge. Although 3R-phase iridium oxide (3R-IrO2) recognized as potential competitor for oxygen (OER), its other catalytic activities have not been explored. Herein, 3R-IrO2 modified by Pt nanoparticles (Pt@3R-IrO2) exhibits certain toward HER. The Pt@3R-IrO2 with 15 wt % loading (15 Pt@3R-IrO2) displays high HER low overpotential (η@–10 mA cm–2) 19.0 mV, mass...
Water splitting through electrolysis has been recognized as a promising solution for the production of hydrogen and oxygen to advance many renewable energy conversion storage systems, while key is innovative exploration cost-efficient electrocatalysts. Herein, interface-modified Ni–Fe–P/Co–P/NF alloys were achieved facile electroless plating strategy, in which constructed interfaces benefited not only from strong electron interaction but also fast mass transfer, significantly boosting...
