Rational construction of NiFe2O4/NiO/g-C3N4 electrocatalyst with interfacial effects for OER and HER
The electrocatalysts with ternary combinations have recently attracted remarkable attention owing to their physio-chemical characteristics. Here, we successfully constructed the ternary NiFe2O4/NiO/g-C3N4 electrocatalyst via a hydrothermal route to facilitate electrocatalytic H2O splitting. The structural (XRD) analysis of the ternary electrocatalyst reveals good crystalline quality. The XPS analysis confirmed the presence of all the elements in the ternary electrocatalyst. The FESEM analysis shows the surface morphology of all the electrocatalysts. The coupled formation of NiFe2O4, NiO, and g-C3N4 was confirmed by TEM analysis. Electrochemical water splitting analysis reveals that the ternary nanocomposites exhibit enhanced performance in both HER and OER. Specifically, the optimized NiFe2O4/NiO/g-C3N4 electrocatalyst shows promising OER outcomes with a low potential of 261 mV at 10 mA/cm2 and a small Tafel slope value of 83 mV/dec. For HER, the ternary electrocatalyst shows an overpotential of 206 mV at 10 mA/cm2 with a small Tafel slope value of 73 mV/dec.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
