Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a pivotal process in electrochemical systems, including metal-air batteries and water-splitting technologies. Despite the promise of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as OER electrocatalysts, their stability at elevated current densities (>500 mA cm–2) remains a key challenge for industrial applications. Herein, we developed a bimetallic MOF electrocatalyst, Fe8.47Ni91.53-2-amino-1,4-benzendedicarboxylate (Fe8.47Ni91.53-BDC-NH2), exhibiting good stability at 1 A cm–2 for 100 h, with overpotentials of only 210 mV at 10 mA cm–2 and 273 mV at 100 mA cm–2. The enhanced activity of the catalyst originates from the bending of freestanding FeNi-BDC-NH2 nanosheets toward the nickel foam substrate during the OER, facilitating the formation of enlarged Mott–Schottky regions and accelerating electron transfer. Additionally, the reversible structural transformation of Ni-2-amino-1,4-benzendedicarboxylate (Ni-BDC-NH2) during the OER, coupled with the introduction of Fe ions, effectively prevents the overoxidation of the active β-NiOOH intermediate to γ-NiOOH, further boosting the OER performance. This work provides insights into structural and electronic modifications that enable MOFs to achieve both high performance and stability at industrial current densities.
析氧反应(OER)是电化学系统的关键过程,包括金属-空气电池和水分解技术。尽管金属有机框架(mof)有望成为OER电催化剂,但其在高电流密度(>500 mA cm-2)下的稳定性仍然是工业应用的关键挑战。在此,我们开发了一种双金属MOF电催化剂fe8.47 ni91.53 -2-氨基-1,4-苯三羧酸盐(Fe8.47Ni91.53-BDC-NH2),在1 a cm-2下具有良好的稳定性100 h,在10 mA cm-2下过电位仅为210 mV,在100 mA cm-2下过电位仅为273 mV。催化剂活性的增强是由于在OER过程中,独立的FeNi-BDC-NH2纳米片向泡沫镍基底弯曲,促进了Mott-Schottky区域的形成,加速了电子转移。此外,在OER过程中,ni -2-氨基-1,4-苯三羧酸盐(Ni-BDC-NH2)的可逆结构转变,加上Fe离子的引入,有效地阻止了活性β-NiOOH中间体过度氧化为γ-NiOOH,进一步提高了OER性能。这项工作提供了结构和电子修改的见解,使mof能够在工业电流密度下实现高性能和稳定性。
