Abstract

A dual-confinement strategy was developed to design efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). NiCo alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized and embedded in N-doped carbon fibers (NCF) by electrospinning and carbonization techniques. Dual effects of size confinement by the metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) derived carbon skeleton companied with spatial confinement by polyacrylonitrile (PAN) derived carbon fibers (CFs) for the NiCo NPs were executed to improve the electrocatalytic activity. In an alkaline solution, the prepared NiCo-C@CF exhibits significant advantages over the commercial RuO₂ catalyst i.e., a 61 mV lower overpotential of 363 mV under 50 mA cm⁻², and excellent durability of 87.5 % current density retention after 60 h of continuous OER polarization.

将纳米晶镍钴与源自 MOFs 的碳纤维骨架相结合：实现氧进化反应高效电催化剂的双重限制策略

为设计氧气进化反应（OER）的高效电催化剂，研究人员开发了一种双重强化策略。通过电纺丝和碳化技术合成了镍钴合金纳米颗粒（NPs），并将其嵌入掺杂氮的碳纤维（NCF）中。金属有机框架（MOFs）衍生的碳骨架对镍钴合金纳米粒子的尺寸限制和聚丙烯腈（PAN）衍生的碳纤维（CFs）对镍钴合金纳米粒子的空间限制产生了双重效应，从而提高了镍钴合金纳米粒子的电催化活性。在碱性溶液中，制备的 NiCo-C@CF 与商用 RuO2 催化剂相比具有显著的优势，即在 50 mA cm-2 条件下，过电位低 61 mV，仅为 363 mV；在连续 OER 极化 60 小时后，电流密度保持率为 87.5%，具有极佳的耐久性。
