Abstract
The rational construction of highly efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) plays a critical role in energy conversion systems. Designing heterostructures is a common and effective strategy to improve the performance of electrocatalysts. In this paper, an MnS2/Co4S3/Ni3S2 heterostructure was synthesized on Ni foam using a one-step vulcanization method. It provides a modified electronic structure and plentiful three-phase heterogeneous interfaces that can effectively enrich the active sites and accelerate electron transfer, thereby improving the OER activity. Thanks to the heterostructure, the MnS2/Co4S3/Ni3S2 exhibits a low overpotential of 265 and 304 mV for the OER to reach current densities of 50 and 100 mA/cm2, respectively. Furthermore, the surface reconstruction of MnS2/Co4S3/Ni3S2 has been investigated, which revealed the formation of metal hydr(oxy)oxides evolved during the OER process. This work provides a facile strategy for constructing three-phase heterostructures, shedding light on the development of high-performance, nonprecious metal-based OER electrocatalysts.
