Core-bishell NiFe@NC@MoS 2 for boosting electrocatalytic activity towards ultra-efficient oxygen evolution reaction. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 674:823-833. [PMID: 38955013 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.06.194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
Designing and developing suitable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts with high activity and stability remain challenging in electrolytic water splitting. Hence, NiFe@NC@MoS2 core-bishell composites wrapped by molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) and nitrogen-doped graphene (NC) were prepared using hydrothermal synthesis in this research. NiFe@NC@MoS2 composite exhibits excellent performance with an overpotential of 288 mV and a Tafel slope of 53.2 mV·dec-1 at a current density of 10 mA·cm-2 in 1 M KOH solution, which is superior to commercial RuO2. NC and MoS2 bishells create profuse edge active sites that enhance the adsorption ability of OOH* while lowering the overall overpotential of the product and improving its oxygen precipitation performance. The density function theory(DFT) analysis confirms that the layered MoS2 in NiFe@NC@MoS2 provides additional edge active sites and enhances electron transfer, thus increasing the intrinsic catalytic activity. This research paves a novel way for developing OER electrocatalysts with excellent catalytic performance.

Nickel molybdate/cobalt iron carbonate hydroxide heterojunction with oxygen vacancy enables interfacial synergism to trigger oxygen evolution reaction. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 658:343-353.

Abstract
The development of electrocatalysts with excellent performance toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for the production of hydrogen is of great significance to alleviate energy crisis and environmental pollution. Herein, the heterostructure (NMO/FCHC-0.4) was fabricated by the coupling growth of NiMoO4 (NMO) and cobalt iron carbonate hydroxide (FCHC) on nickel foam as an electrocatalyst for OER. The interfacial synergy on NMO/FCHC-0.4 heterojunction can promote the interfacial electron redistribution, affect the center position of d band, optimize the adsorption of intermediate, and improve the conductivity. Beyond, oxygen defect sites are conducive to the adsorption of intermediates, and increase the number of active sites. Real-time OER kinetic simulation revealed that the interfacial synergism and molybdate could reduce the adsorption of hydroxide, promote the deprotonation step of M-OH, and facilitate the formation of M-OOH (M represents the metal active site). As a result, NMO/FCHC-0.4 displays excellent OER electrocatalytic performance with an overpotential of 250/280 mV at the current density 100/200 mA cm-2 and robust stability at 100 mA cm-2 for 100 h. This work provides deep insights into the roles of interfacial electronic modulation and oxygen vacancy to design high-efficiency electrocatalysts for OER.

Abstract
Transition metal borides, carbides, pnictides, and chalcogenides (X-ides) have emerged as a class of materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Because of their high earth abundance, electrical conductivity, and OER performance, these electrocatalysts have the potential to enable the practical application of green energy conversion and storage. Under OER potentials, X-ide electrocatalysts demonstrate various degrees of oxidation resistance due to their differences in chemical composition, crystal structure, and morphology. Depending on their resistance to oxidation, these catalysts will fall into one of three post-OER electrocatalyst categories: fully oxidized oxide/(oxy)hydroxide material, partially oxidized core@shell structure, and unoxidized material. In the past ten years (from 2013 to 2022), over 890 peer-reviewed research papers have focused on X-ide OER electrocatalysts. Previous review papers have provided limited conclusions and have omitted the significance of "catalytically active sites/species/phases" in X-ide OER electrocatalysts. In this review, a comprehensive summary of (i) experimental parameters (e.g., substrates, electrocatalyst loading amounts, geometric overpotentials, Tafel slopes, etc.) and (ii) electrochemical stability tests and post-analyses in X-ide OER electrocatalyst publications from 2013 to 2022 is provided. Both mono and polyanion X-ides are discussed and classified with respect to their material transformation during the OER. Special analytical techniques employed to study X-ide reconstruction are also evaluated. Additionally, future challenges and questions yet to be answered are provided in each section. This review aims to provide researchers with a toolkit to approach X-ide OER electrocatalyst research and to showcase necessary avenues for future investigation.

Abstract
Materials derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated exceptional structural variety and complexity and can be synthesized using low-cost scalable methods. Although the inherent instability and low electrical conductivity of MOFs are largely responsible for their low uptake for catalysis and energy storage, a superior alternative is MOF-derived metal-based derivatives (MDs) as these can retain the complex nanostructures of MOFs while exhibiting stability and electrical conductivities of several orders of magnitude higher. The present work comprehensively reviews MDs in terms of synthesis and their nanostructural design, including oxides, sulfides, phosphides, nitrides, carbides, transition metals, and other minor species. The focal point of the approach is the identification and rationalization of the design parameters that lead to the generation of optimal compositions, structures, nanostructures, and resultant performance parameters. The aim of this approach is to provide an inclusive platform for the strategies to design and process these materials for specific applications. This work is complemented by detailed figures that both summarize the design and processing approaches that have been reported and indicate potential trajectories for development. The work is also supported by comprehensive and up-to-date tabular coverage of the reported studies.
