Metal phosphates have previously demonstrated significant electrocatalytic activity for the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in electrochemical water splitting. However, the critical factors influencing OER electrocatalysis on Ni-based phosphates have been insufficiently explored.

Remarkably, a clear correlation between Ni–O bond length and OER overpotentials is observed in both Ni-based phosphates and NiO, <em>i.e.</em>, shorter Ni–O bond lengths are highly beneficial for the OER. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the outstanding OER activities of Ni-based phosphates are facilitated by their favorable electronic orbitals, which strengthen the Ni–O bond and improve the adsorption of OER intermediates on Ni sites. This mechanism is substantiated by DFT calculations employing surface slab models, where the adsorption of OER intermediates on the surface of Ni-based phosphates is more energetically favorable than on the surface of NiO. Hence, Ni-based phosphates are promising OER electrocatalysts, and this study provides important guidelines to further improve Ni-based electrocatalysts.</p>","PeriodicalId":18806,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Advances","volume":" 2","pages":" 456-466"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11626464/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142807060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the lack of systematic studies comparing various carbon fillers and their impact on tribopositive contact layers necessitates further research. To address these concerns, various carbon fillers (including buckminsterfullerene (C<sub>60</sub>), graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT), and super activated carbon (SAC)) with distinct structural and electrical properties are mixed with polyvinyl alcohol, PVA, to form PVA-carbon composites and used as tribopositive layers in the contact-separation of TENGs. The results show that PVA-SAC provides the largest enhancements to the electrical outputs of the TENG. At the optimal loading of 1 wt%, PVA-SAC composites yielded a peak power density of 12.8 W m<sup>-2</sup>, a substantial 220% enhancement compared to pristine PVA. The mechanism governing the enhancement is determined by analysing the changes in electrical and structural characteristics caused by the addition of various carbon fillers. Dielectric measurements indicated that enhanced dielectric properties did not significantly contribute to the observed increase in the triboelectric performance. Instead, Raman and FTIR analyses revealed a correlation between the PVA-carbon interactions and an increase in the D/G ratio of carbon fillers, accompanied by a reduction in hydrogen-bonded -OH groups within PVA. This suggests that the interaction between the π electrons of sp<sup>2</sup> hybridized carbon atoms and the oxygen lone pairs in PVA inhibits hydrogen bond formation, leading to an increase in free -OH groups. Consequently, these free -OH groups enhanced the electron-donating capability and improved the tribopositive behaviour of the PVA-carbon composites.
