Abstract
The advancement of water–splitting technologies and renewable energy systems necessitates the development of robust and efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) based on metal-free porphyrins and polyoxometalates (POMs), demonstrate exceptional electrocatalytic performance for OER, offering a sustainable approach for efficient oxygen generation. In this study, an innovative COF (TTCMPP–POM) was synthesized by integrating TTCMPP and POM unites through straight forward condensation process. The hybrid material synergistically combines the catalytic and electronic properties of POM known for their stability and high OE activity, with the electron donating and redox flexible capabilities of porphyrins. Comprehensive spectroscopic and microscopic analyses confirmed the stability and structure of the TTCMPP–POM (COF). Electrochemical investigations revealed the superior OER performance of TTCMPP–POM (COF), which exhibited a lower overpotential (404 mV) at 10 mAcm−2 compared to TTCMPP (415 mV), POM (503 mV), and RuO2 (394 mV). Furthermore, TTCMPP–POM (COF) achieved an impressive Tafel slope of68.84 mVdec−1, out performing TTCMPP (88.45 mVdec−1), POM (142.18 mVdec−1), and RuO2 (134.62 mVdec−1). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electroactive surface area (ECSA) analyses confirmed enhanced charge transfer properties of TTCMPP–POM (COF). These results establish TTCMPP–POM (COF) as a highly effective and modular electrocatalyst, paving the way for its applications in renewable energy technologies.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.
Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
