摘要

电沉积是制备水分解催化剂的一种经济有效的方法,但要实现均匀的纳米结构和持久的电沉积仍然是一个挑战。在不同硫脲浓度(0 ~ 0.15 M)的乙二醇-水电解质中,采用两步金属溶解电沉积法(MDE)将Ni- fe氢氧化物催化剂电沉积在泡沫镍上。通过电化学测量和结构表征研究了硫脲对成核行为、沉积形态、组成和析氧反应(OER)性能的影响。硫脲对电沉积过程影响深远。将瞬时成核模式转变为渐进成核模式,使得纳米结构的分布更加均匀。硫脲作为流平剂可抑制高场区过量沉积,作为络合剂可选择性促进Ni2+沉积,同时抑制Fe2+掺入。在最佳硫脲浓度(0.05 M)下,催化剂在100 mA/cm2时的OER过电位为286 mV,电荷转移电阻为1.03 Ω,显著高于在100 mA/cm2时的360 mV和不含硫脲时的21.6 Ω。硫脲的加入也增加了电化学活性表面积,降低了Tafel斜率,表明动力学得到改善。此外,0.05 M硫脲改性催化剂表现出优异的耐久性,在100 mA/cm2下100 h后性能没有下降。硫脲是一种重要的添加剂,可以控制成核,选择性金属沉积,显著改善Ni-Fe OER催化剂的纳米结构,活性和耐久性,为高效水电解提供了有前途的策略。

Multifunctional role of Thiourea in engineering electrodeposited NiFe catalysts for efficient and durable oxygen evolution reaction
Electrodeposition is a cost-effective method to fabricate water splitting catalysts, but achieving uniform nanostructure and durable electrodeposits remains challenging. In this study, Ni-Fe oxyhydroxide catalyst were electrodeposited on Ni foam via two-step metal dissolution electrodeposition (MDE) process in an ethylene glycol-water electrolyte with varying thiourea concentration (0∼0.15 M). The effect of thiourea on nucleation behavior, deposit morphology, composition, and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance was investigated using electrochemcial measurements and structural characterization. Thiourea profoundly affected the electrodeposition process. It shifted the nucleation mode from instantaneous to progressive, resulting in more uniformly distributed nanostructures. As a leveling agent, thiourea inhibited excessive deposition in high field regions, and as complex agent, it selectively promoted Ni2+ deposition, while suppressing Fe2+ incorporation. The optimum thiourea concentration (0.05 M) produced a catalyst with an OER overpotential of 286 mV at 100 mA/cm2 and a charge transfer resistance of 1.03 Ω, dramatically improved from 360 mV at 100 mA/cm2 and 21.6 Ω without thiourea. The addition of thiourea also increased the electrochemical active surface area and decreased the Tafel slope, indicating improved kinetics. In addition, the 0.05 M thiourea modified catalyst showed excellent durability, with no degradation in performance after 100 h at 100 mA/cm2. Thiourea is critical additive that enables controlled nucleation, selective metal deposition dramatically improves the nanostructure, activity, and durability of Ni-Fe OER catalyst, offering promising strategy for high-efficient water electrolysis.
