Abstract
The development of cheap, high activity and stability catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great significance because of its important role in energy storage technology. Herein, flower-like CoSe 2 -Co 3 O 4 -Ag with enhanced electrochemical performance was synthesized by simple methods. The CoSe 2 -Co 3 O 4 -Ag exhibits lower overpotential and higher current density, with an overpotential of 324 mV at the current density of 10 mA⋅cm[Formula: see text] and a Tafel slope of 65.69 mA⋅dec[Formula: see text]. From the ECSA normalized LSV curves, higher electrocatalytic activity for OER is mainly due to the increase of ESCA and conductivity, minor due to adjusting the electronic configuration. These strategies to improve electrochemical active area and conductivity have valuable reference for designing cheap, high activity and stability catalysts.
期刊介绍:
Functional Materials Letters is an international peer-reviewed scientific journal for original contributions to research on the synthesis, behavior and characterization of functional materials. The journal seeks to provide a rapid forum for the communication of novel research of high quality and with an interdisciplinary flavor. The journal is an ideal forum for communication amongst materials scientists and engineers, chemists and chemical engineers, and physicists in the dynamic fields associated with functional materials.
Functional materials are designed to make use of their natural or engineered functionalities to respond to changes in electrical and magnetic fields, physical and chemical environment, etc. These design considerations are fundamentally different to those relevant for structural materials and are the focus of this journal. Functional materials play an increasingly important role in the development of the field of materials science and engineering.
The scope of the journal covers theoretical and experimental studies of functional materials, characterization and new applications-related research on functional materials in macro-, micro- and nano-scale science and engineering. Among the topics covered are ferroelectric, multiferroic, ferromagnetic, magneto-optical, optoelectric, thermoelectric, energy conversion and energy storage, sustainable energy and shape memory materials.
