Abstract
To design and synthesize high-performance, low-cost, and binder-free oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is of critical importance for enhancing efficiency of electrocatalytic water splitting (EWS). Honeycomb nanosheets F-Ni2V2O7 electrocatalysts, which were grown in situ on nickel foam (NF), were prepared via a facile yet efficacious two-step hydrothermal and immersion methodology. Here F-Ni2V2O7 manifested outstanding OER activity, requiring only 270 mV of overpotential to achieve a current density of 100 mA·cm−2 and a low Tafel slope of 36 mV·dec-1. Additionally, it maintained a remarkable stability over 12 h. The particular structural features of F-Ni2V2O7 imparted it with the following advantages: (1) the honeycomb nanosheets structure provided an abundance of catalytic sites; (2) F-doping improved the electrical conductivity and augmented the intrinsic active sites; (3) F-doping adjusted the electronic structure, promoting the generation of oxygen vacancies.
