Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with complex 4-electron transfer is a critical issue limiting the efficiency of electrolytic hydrogen production. Therefore, to develop efficient OER electrocatalysts for water splitting was necessary. Given the abundant unoccupied 3d orbitals of high-valent vanadium ions and the three-dimensional structure of nickel foam substrates, this study successfully fabricate hydroxy-iron oxide (FeOOH) modified nickel vanadium layered double hydroxide (NiV LDH) nanosheets array heterostructure electrocatalysts through surface modification method. By coupling FeOOH with NiV LDH, the electron structure between Fe, Ni, V, and O was finely regulated. Thanks to the strong electronic interactions at the heterostructure interface, the prepared heterostructure electrocatalysts exhibit outstanding electrocatalytic OER performance in 1 M KOH electrolyte. The heterostructure electrocatalyst demonstrated overpotentials of only 212, 252, and 279 mV at current densities of 10, 50, and 100 mA·cm−2, respectively, and a Tafel slope of only 71.37 mV·dec−1. This study provided a new strategy for developing efficient new OER heterostructure catalysts.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
