摘要
阳离子掺杂材料的氧进化反应（OER）性能通常与掺杂剂浓度呈火山状关系。然而，掺杂剂含量及其相关局部环境对电催化剂电子状态的影响仍不清楚。在此，我们在 Ni(OH)2 中掺入了 V，以研究其基本机制。研究发现，均匀分布的 V 可以有效地扰动 NiO6 八面体，导致强烈的 eg ⁎ 带宽和费米水平附近更多的电子状态。这种现象大大增强了电子从电催化剂向外部电路的转移。相反，掺杂浓度较高时，V 的聚集对 NiO6 八面体的扰动影响较弱。由于 V 掺杂和聚集之间的平衡，Ni0.95V0.05OOH 的 NiO6 八面体畸变最强，在 10 mA cm-2 的条件下可产生 258 mV 的极低过电位。此外，这种结构-活性关系还扩展到了掺铁的 Ni(OH)2，从而证实了所提出机制的普遍性。
Unraveling the effect of local dopant environment on NiO6 octahedron perturbation for enhanced oxygen evolution activity
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance in cation-doped materials often exhibits a volcano-like relationship with dopant concentration. However, the influence of dopant content with its associated local environment on the electronic states of electrocatalysts remains unclear. Herein, V is incorporated into Ni(OH)2 to study the underlying mechanism. It is revealed that evenly distributed V can effectively perturb the NiO6 octahedron, leading to strong eg * band broadening and more electronic states around the Fermi level. This phenomenon significantly enhances the electron transfer from electrocatalysts to external circuits. Conversely, the aggregation of V at higher dopant concentration exerts weaker influence on perturbing the NiO6 octahedron. As a result of balance between V doping and aggregation, Ni0.95V0.05OOH, with the strongest NiO6 octahedron distortion, effectuating a remarkably low overpotential of 258 mV at 10 mA cm−2. Furthermore, such a structure-activity relationship is also extended to Fe-doped Ni(OH)2, affirming the universality of the proposed mechanism.
