Abstract
Rational design of catalyst architectures to minimize active site aggregation represents a critical strategy for enhancing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) efficiency. Herein, we reported a high-efficiency electrocatalyst (Fe2P-Ni2P/NF) with a multiphase heterostructure and dispersed active sites using a morphology process that combines small-sized prussian blue analog stereotypes with nano-ceramics. Benefiting from the polycrystalline heterogeneous structure and abundant active sites, the Fe2P-Ni2P/NF catalyst in 1.0 M KOH only requires overpotentials of 177 mV and 254 mV to reach current densities of 50 and 200 mA cm−2, respectively, with an exceptionally Tafel slope of 42 mV dec−1 and remarkable stability. In addition, the two-electrode system consisting of Fe2P-Ni2P/NF is able to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at 1.44 V. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) also confirms the formation of a dual-protective NiOOH/FeOOH layer on the phosphide surface during OER. This work establishes a novel interface engineering paradigm for designing robust electrocatalysts operable under industrial-level current densities.
合理设计催化剂结构以减少活性位点聚集是提高析氧反应(OER)效率的关键策略。在此,我们报道了一种高效的电催化剂(Fe2P-Ni2P/NF),具有多相异质结构和分散的活性位点,采用了将小尺寸普鲁士蓝模拟物与纳米陶瓷相结合的形貌工艺。得益于多晶非均相结构和丰富的活性位点,1.0 M KOH中Fe2P-Ni2P/NF催化剂只需要177 mV和254 mV的过电位就能分别达到50和200 mA cm−2的电流密度,Tafel斜率高达42 mV dec−1,具有良好的稳定性。此外,由Fe2P-Ni2P/NF组成的双电极体系能够在1.44 V下实现10 mA cm−2的电流密度。x射线光电子能谱(XPS)也证实了在OER过程中磷化物表面形成了双重保护的NiOOH/FeOOH层。这项工作建立了一种新的界面工程范式,用于设计可在工业水平电流密度下运行的稳健电催化剂。
