Abstract
Because of their special features, NiFe-LDHs (nickel iron layered double hydroxides) are prospective OER (oxygen evolution reaction) catalysts that might be utilized to catalyse the electrolysis of water and produce hydrogen to address the energy crisis. In this work, the electronic structure and electrocatalytic performance of the NiFe-LDH were accurately regulated by optimizing the Ni sites, which was enabled by adjacent metal sites coordinated with the "polyoxometalate electron sponge". With extension of the modification time, the Ni 2p binding energy, the Ni3+/Ni2+ ratio and the OER properties were gradually tuned, which indicated accurate regulation of active Ni sites by the "polyoxometalate electron sponge" on a temporal scale. Additionally, NiFe-LDH-PW12-12 h (NiFe-LDH modified by polyoxometalate anions for 12 h) showed the highest OER performance along with fast electron transfer, superior reaction kinetics and electrochemical durability, with an overpotential ∼68 mV lower than that of NiFe-LDH. This work provides an accurate strategy for regulating the electronic structures of active metal sites for the OER.

Highly Ordered Hierarchical Macro-Mesoporous Carbon-Supported Cobalt Electrocatalyst for Efficient Oxygen Evolution Reaction. Chem Asian J 2023:e202300946. [PMID: 38143244 DOI: 10.1002/asia.202300946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023]
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derivatives have been extensively employed in Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) catalysts due to their significantly larger specific surface areas, distinct metal centers, and well-organized porous structures. However, the microporous structure of MOFs and their derivatives presents mass transfer resistance, limiting their further development. Drawing inspiration from hierarchical structures allowing for the transport and exchange of substances in the biological world, we designed and fabricated biomimetic layered porous structures within ZIF-67 and its derivatives. Based on this, we achieved a three-dimensional ordered layered porous nitrogen-doped carbon-coated magnetic cobalt catalyst (3DOLP Co@NDC) with a biomimetic pore structure. It is found that the 3DOLP Co@NDC (352 mV @10 mA cm-1 ) was better than Co@NDC (391 mV @10 mA cm-1 ). The introduction of a three-dimensional ordered layered porous structure is conducive to increasing the specific surface area of the material, increasing the electrochemical active area, and improving the catalytic performance of the material. The introduction of a three-dimensional ordered layered porous structure would help to build a bionic grade pore structure. The existence of biomimetic grade pore structure can effectively reduce the mass transfer resistance, improve the material exchange efficiency, and accelerate the reaction kinetics.

Abstract
NiFe-layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) is the benchmark catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline medium, however, it is still challenging to improve its activity and stability. Herein, NiFe-LDH macroporous array electrodes are demonstrated to significantly enhance the activity and stability for oxygen evolution reaction. The electrodes are fabricated by the chemical and electrochemical corrosion process of Ni foam induced by ferric nitrate, hydrochloric acid and oxygen. By optimizing the amount of iron salt and acid and selecting the appropriate reaction temperature and time, the NiFe-LDH electrodes only need the overpotential of 180 mV and 248 mV to reach the current density of 10 mA cm-2 and 500 mA cm-2 , respectively, and remain highly stable for 1000 h at 500 mA cm-2 . The unique macroporous array not only significantly increases the active area of NiFe-LDH catalyst, but also creates a stable nanostructure that avoids severe reconstruction.

Abstract
Aqueous-phase oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the bottleneck of water splitting. The formation of the O-O bond involves the generation of paramagnetic oxygen molecules from the diamagnetic hydroxides. The spin configurations might play an important role in aqueous-phase molecular electrocatalysis. However, spintronic electrocatalysis is almost an uncultivated land for the exploration of the oxygen molecular catalysis process. Herein, we present a novel magnetic FeIII site spin-splitting strategy, wherein the electronic structure and spin states of the FeIII sites are effectively induced and optimized by the Jahn-Teller effect of Cu2+. The theoretical calculations and operando attenuated total reflectance-infrared Fourier transform infrared (ATR FT-IR) reveal the facilitation for the O-O bond formation, which accelerates the production of O2 from OH- and improves the OER activity. The Cu1-Ni6Fe2-LDH catalyst exhibits a low overpotential of 210 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a low Tafel slope (33.7 mV dec-1), better than those of the initial Cu0-Ni6Fe2-LDHs (278 mV, 101.6 mV dec-1). With the Cu2+ regulation, we have realized the transformation of NiFe-LDHs from ferrimagnets to ferromagnets and showcase that the OER performance of Cu-NiFe-LDHs significantly increases compared with that of NiFe-LDHs under the effect of a magnetic field for the first time. The magnetic-field-assisted Cu1-Ni6Fe2-LDHs provide an ultralow overpotential of 180 mV at 10 mA cm-2, which is currently one of the best OER performances. The combination of the magnetic field and spin configuration provides new principles for the development of high-performance catalysts and understandings of the catalytic mechanism from the spintronic level.

Abstract
MXenes have received much attention as promising candidates for noble metal-free hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts due to their high electrical conductivity, surface hydrophilicity, abundant surface functional groups, and great potential for rational hybridization with other materials. Herein, a novel porous monolayered-Ti3C2Tx@NiCoP (P-Ti3C2Tx@NiCoP) nanostructure was synthesized with uniform distribution of bimetallic compounds for improved charge transfer capability and electrocatalytic activity. In experiments, H2O2-utilized oxidation formed a highly mesoporous structure with a maximized surface area of monolayered MXenes as the support. A subsequent solvothermal process followed by phosphidation enabled successful anchoring of highly HER-active NiCoP nanoclusters onto abundantly exposed terminal edges of the P-Ti3C2Tx support. The structural porosity of the P-Ti3C2Tx nanoflakes played an important role in creating additional room for embedding catalytically active species while stably imparting high electrical conductivity to accelerate charge transfer to NiCoP nanoclusters. With structural modification and effective hybridization, P-Ti3C2Tx@NiCoP showed highly enhanced HER activity with significantly lower overpotentials of 115 and 101 mV at a current density of -10 mA cm-2 in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1.0 M KOH, respectively, along with showing long-term stability over 60 h. As such, our approach of designing structurally modified-Ti3C2Tx and hybridizing with other electrocatalytically active species would function as a solid platform for implementing Ti3C2Tx-based hetero-nanostructures to achieve state-of-the-art performance in next-generation energy conversion applications.

Abstract
The elaborate design and synthesis of low-cost, efficient and stable electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which may alleviate the current energy shortage and environment pollution, is still a great challenge. Herein, metal phosphonate precursors with controllable morphologies were synthesizedin situon the surface of nickel foam with different solvents, and could be easily converted into carbon- and nitrogen-doped cobalt phosphate through a calcination method. The OER catalytic performance of the final products was studied in detail. The results showed that the nanowire shaped samples of CoPiNF-800 synthesized with deionized water under hydrothermal conditions had the strongest electrochemical performance. They exhibited extraordinary catalytic activity with a very low overpotential of 222 mV at 100 mA cm-2, the smallest impedance and excellent electrochemical stability. These results not only demonstrate the possibility of preparing low-cost OER catalysts based on transition metal phosphate, but also aid our understanding of the controllable synthesis process of different morphologies.
