Operando spectroscopic monitoring the dynamic transformation of CoNiMoO4 precatalyst toward efficient oxygen evolution
Electrochemical water splitting plays a pivotal role in sustainable hydrogen generation, but its efficiency remains constrained by kinetically sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, CoNiMoO4 nanowires were synthesized and evaluated for potential OER application. The dynamic structural reconstruction during OER operation was monitored by combined in situ Raman and UV–vis spectroscopies, which revealed a phase evolution journey from precursor to hydroxide and finally (oxy)hydroxide at high potentials. Ni doping suppressed the complete oxidation to CoO2 phase and instead facilitated the formation of CoNiOOH intermediates as active species. Furthermore, precise modulation of the d-band center optimized the adsorption energy of oxygen intermediates, achieving enhanced catalytic activity. The findings advance the fundamental understanding of reconstruction in transition metal oxides and offer valuable insights for designing efficient OER catalysts.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
