Abstract
In this study, a new approach was developed for the synthesis of MOF derived; α-Fe2O3/C@g-C3N4 (FCCN) composite with boosted conductivity for efficient electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The physico-chemical properties of FCCN composite and their counterparts were analyzed by using characterization such as XRD, FT-IR, RAMAN, SEM, TEM, and XPS analyses. The electrochemical oxygen evolution performance of the FCCN composite was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), demonstrating enhanced activity as compared to bare α-Fe2O3 and g-C3N4. Notably, FCCN achieved a low overpotential (η) of 292 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 and a Tafel slope of 57 mV dec−1, with remarkable stability over 12 h (98 %), reflecting strong OER performance in comparison with other samples. The OER stability of FCCN modelled, predicted and forecasted by machine learning through time series analysis indicated retention in its functionality over next 1700 s. The superior OER activity with high stability of FCCN composite is credited to the excellent synergy between α-Fe2O3/C and g-C3N4 resulting in high density of surface-active sites and enhanced electrical conductivity.

Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry is published monthly in English by the Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. JIEC brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal and is to disseminate information on all aspects of research and development in industrial and engineering chemistry. Contributions in the form of research articles, short communications, notes and reviews are considered for publication. The editors welcome original contributions that have not been and are not to be published elsewhere. Instruction to authors and a manuscript submissions form are printed at the end of each issue. Bulk reprints of individual articles can be ordered. This publication is partially supported by Korea Research Foundation and the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies.
