CoFeBP Micro Flowers (MFs) for Highly Efficient Hydrogen Evolution Reaction and Oxygen Evolution Reaction Electrocatalysts. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:698. [PMID: 38668192 PMCID: PMC11053626 DOI: 10.3390/nano14080698] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
Hydrogen is one of the most promising green energy alternatives due to its high gravimetric energy density, zero-carbon emissions, and other advantages. In this work, a CoFeBP micro-flower (MF) electrocatalyst is fabricated as an advanced water-splitting electrocatalyst by a hydrothermal approach for hydrogen production with the highly efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The fabrication process of the CoFeBP MF electrocatalyst is systematically optimized by thorough investigations on various hydrothermal synthesis and post-annealing parameters. The best optimized CoFeBP MF electrode demonstrates HER/OER overpotentials of 20 mV and 219 mV at 20 mA/cm2. The CoFeBP MFs also exhibit a low 2-electrode (2-E) cell voltage of 1.60 V at 50 mA/cm2, which is comparable to the benchmark electrodes of Pt/C and RuO2. The CoFeBP MFs demonstrate excellent 2-E stability of over 100 h operation under harsh industrial operational conditions at 60 °C in 6 M KOH at a high current density of 1000 mA/cm2. The flower-like morphology can offer a largely increased electrochemical active surface area (ECSA), and systematic post-annealing can lead to improved crystallinity in CoFeBP MFs.

Abstract
Hydrogen has enormous commercial potential as a secondary energy source because of its high calorific value, clean combustion byproducts, and multiple production methods. Electrocatalytic water splitting is a viable alternative to the conventional methane steam reforming technique, as it operates under mild conditions, produces high-quality hydrogen, and has a sustainable production process that requires less energy. Electrocatalysts composed of precious metals like Pt, Au, Ru, and Ag are commonly used in the investigation of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Nevertheless, their limited availability and expensive cost restrict practical use. In contrast, electrocatalysts that do not contain precious metals are readily available, cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and possess electrocatalytic performance equal to that of noble metals. However, considerable research effort must be devoted to create cost-effective and high-performing catalysts. This article provides a comprehensive examination of the reaction mechanism involved in electrocatalytic water splitting in both acidic and basic environments. Additionally, recent breakthroughs in catalysts for both the hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reactions are also discussed. The structure-activity relationship of the catalyst was deep-going discussed, together with the prospects of current obstacles and potential for electrocatalytic water splitting, aiming at provide valuable perspectives for the advancement of economical and efficient electrocatalysts on an industrial scale.

Abstract
Nickel-iron based hydroxides have been proven to be excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts, whereas they are inactive toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which severely limits their large-scale applications in electrochemical water splitting. Herein, a heterostructure consisted of NiFeV hydroxide and iron oxide supported on iron foam (NiFeV@FeOx /IF) has been designed as a highly efficient bifunctional (OER and HER) electrocatalyst. The V doping and intimate contact between NiFeV hydroxide and FeOx not only improve the entire electrical conductivity of the catalyst but also afford more high-valence Ni which serves as active sites for OER. Meanwhile, the introduction of V and FeOx reduces the electron density on lattice oxygen, which greatly facilitates desorption of Hads . All of these endow the NiFeV@FeOx /IF with exceptionally low overpotentials of 218 and 105 mV to achieve a current density of 100 mA cm-2 for OER and HER, respectively. More impressively, the electrolyzer requires an ultra-low cell voltage of 1.57 V to achieve 100 mA cm-2 and displays superior electrochemical stability for 180 h, which outperforms commercial RuO2 ||Pt/C and most of the representative catalysts reported to date. This work provides a unique route for developing high-efficiency electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

Abstract
Design and fabrication of cost-effective (pre-)catalysts are important for water splitting and metal-air batteries. In this direction, various metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been investigated as pre-catalysts for oxygen evolution. However, the activation process and the complex reconstruction behaviour of these MOFs are not well understood. Herein, square-like MOF nanosheets in which carbon nanotubes were embedded were prepared by introducing an amine ligand to coordinate with Ni ions and then reacting with [Fe(CN)6]3-. The formed MOF nanosheets containing nickel and iron species were then activated by NaBH4, inducing the leaching of ligands and the formation of tiny active species in situ loaded on carbon nanotubes. The prepared catalyst shows superior oxygen evolution performance with an ultralow overpotential of 231 mV for 10 mA cm-2, a fast reaction kinetics with a small Tafel slope of 52.3 mV dec-1, and outstanding catalysis stability. The excellent electrocatalytic performance for oxygen evolution can be attributed to the structural advantage of in situ derived small sized active species and one-dimensional conductive networks. This work provides a new thought for the enhancement of the electrocatalytic performance of MOF materials.

Abstract
We constructed two-dimensional NiCo-metal-organic-framework (NiCo-MOF) nanosheets based on a facile protocol and then characterized them using multiple approaches (X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms techniques). As a sensitive electroactive material, the as-fabricated bimetallic NiCo-MOF nanosheets were employed to modify a screen-printed graphite electrode surface (NiCo-MOF/SPGE) for epinine electro-oxidation. According to the findings, there was a great improvement in the current responses of the epinine because of the appreciable electron transfer reaction and catalytic performance of the as-produced NiCo-MOF nanosheets. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry were utilized to analyze the electrochemical activity of the epinine on the NiCo-MOF/SPGE. A linear calibration plot was obtained in the broad concentration range (0.07-335.0 µM) with a high sensitivity (0.1173 µA/µM) and a commendable correlation coefficient (0.9997). The limit of detection (S/N = 3) was estimated at 0.02 µM for the epinine. According to findings from DPV, the electrochemical sensor of the NiCo-MOF/SPGE could co-detect epinine and venlafaxine. The repeatability, reproducibility and stability of the NiCo-metal-organic-framework-nanosheets-modified electrode were investigated, and the relative standard deviations obtained indicated that the NiCo-MOF/SPGE had superior repeatability, reproducibility and stability. The as-constructed sensor was successfully applicable in sensing the study analytes in real specimens.

Abstract
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) represents a highly important electrochemical transformation in energy storage and conversion technologies. Considering the low rate of this four-electron half-reaction, there is a demand for efficient, stable, and noble-metal-free electrocatalysts to improve the kinetic and economical parameters. In this work, a new pillared-MOF@NiV-LDH nanocomposite based on a CoII metal-organic framework (pillared-MOF) and heterometallic Ni/V-layered double hydroxide (NiV-LDH) was assembled via a simple protocol, characterized, and explored as an electrocatalyst in OER. A remarkable electrocatalytic efficiency of pillared-MOF@NiV-LDH in 1 M KOH is evidenced by a low overpotential (238 mV at 10 mA cm-2 current density) and a small value of the Tafel slope (62 mV dec-1). These parameters are very close to those of the reference IrO2 electrocatalyst and are superior to the majority of the LDH- and MOF-based systems previously applied for OER. Excellent stability of pillared-MOF@NiV-LDH was confirmed by the chronopotentiometry tests for 70 h and linear-sweep voltammetry after 7000 cycles. Features such as rich electroactive sites, porous structure, high surface area, and synergic effect between pillared-MOF and NiV-LDH are likely responsible for the remarkable electrocatalytic efficiency of this electrocatalyst in OER. Despite prior reports on the application of NiV-LDH in OER, the present study describes the first example where this type of LDH is blended with MOF to generate a nanocomposite material. The interface between the two components of the composite can improve the electronic structure and, in turn, the electrocatalytic behavior. The introduction of this composite paves the way toward the synthesis of other multicomponent materials with potential applications in different energy fields.

Abstract
This is the first time that the pore-space-partition (PSP) strategy is being successfully applied in the electrochemical field for water splitting, realizing the highly efficient construction of a series of ultrastable pristine MOF electrocatalysts. On integrating the vanadium-based trimetallic building cluster (M2V), the target M2V-MOFs exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity for HER, OER, and water splitting. In particular, ultralow overpotentials of 314 and 198 mV for Fe2V-MOF as OER and HER electrocatalysts, respectively, can drive a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The fabricated Fe2V-MOF||Pt/C two-electrode configuration for the overall water splitting yields a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at only 1.6 V vs RHE, which is superior to that of the commercial IrO2||Pt/C couple. Notably, high structural and chemical stabilities still can be observed in alkaline condition. This work opens up an exciting pathway to design efficient and stable electrocatalysts based on pristine MOF by integrating the PSP strategy and multimetallic centers.

Abstract
The water oxidation process, which comprises the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), is a critical catalytic mechanism for sustainable technologies like water electrolysis and fuel cells. Herein, we develop a unique metal-organic framework aided vanadium pentoxide nanorods (MOF-V2O5 NRs-500) that can be used as an OER electrocatalyst under alkaline solutions. The crystal structure, surface chemical state, and porosity of MOF-V2O5 NRs-500 can be altered by annealing in an oxygen atmosphere. The resultant MOF-V2O5 NRs-500 demonstrate high catalytic activity against OER in basic conditions, with a low overpotential of 300 mV at a derived current density of 50 mA cm-2, and extraordinary durability of more than 50 h. Superior electrochemical performance might be attributed to the high exposure level of active sites emanating from porous MOF-V2O5 NRs-500. Furthermore, the porous MOF-V2O5 NRs-500 skeleton may provide homogenous mass transport channels as well as quick electron transfer.

Abstract
Herein, cactus like nanorods with rich S defects and functional group MILN-based Co(z)-NiMoS are synthesized through a facile method. First, we prepared MIL-88B precursor to give a fairly dispersed frame structure, and then Con+ was doped into disulfides, which are rich in sulfur bonds, and the imidazole group was cleverly connected into graphitized carbon via self-etching of ZIF-67. The doping of Con+ and functional groups makes tiny changes in the sulfide lattice, which promotes the unsaturation degree of the S bond and activates it gradually. The prepared semi frame sulfide with a unique structure, on the one hand, ensures the hydrophilicity and multiple active specific surface area, which lays superior functions in morphology. On the other hand, coupling metals that have strong valence change ability and functional groups by active S bonds play an important role in the process of electrocatalytic reaction. Amazingly, disintegration and self-reconstruction of MILN-based Co(z)-NiMoS occurs during oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to the activation of the S bond, which provides a new perspective for the overall water splitting mechanism. The electrochemical results show that the MILN-based Co(z)-NiMoS electrocatalyst exhibits overpotentials of HER, OER, and overall water splitting (OWS) to be 169 mV, 170 mV, and 1.466 V, respectively, making it a promising electrode material for OWS applications.

Abstract
Since the large reaction energy barrier caused by multi-step electron transfer processes of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) gravely restricts the practical application of electrocatalytic water splitting, it is urgent to develop a dual-functional electrocatalyst which can effectively reduce the reaction energy barrier and actually speed up the reaction. Herein, the Ru species are doped into the complex of magnetite and FeNi-layered double hydroxide by a one-step oil bath method, and a self-supporting binder-free bifunctional electrocatalyst was synthesized on the surface of iron foam (named Ru-Fe3O4@FeNi-LDH/IF). The unique 3D core-shell microflower structure of Ru-Fe3O4@FeNi-LDH/IF, the combination of active ingredient and conductive substrate, together with the doping of Ru may immensely provide a large number of active sites, adjust the electronic structure, accelerate electron transfer, and thus greatly improve the electrocatalytic activity and durability. It is worth mentioning that when Ru-Fe3O4@FeNi-LDH/IF is used as the anode and cathode for overall water splitting, only 1.52 V battery voltage can generate a current density of 10 mA cm-2, and also maintain a prominent stability for at least 36 hours. This work provides a feasible strategy for heteroatom-doping LDH as a bifunctional electrocatalyst.

Abstract
Ultrathin two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (2D MOFs) have recently attracted extensive interest in various catalytic fields (e.g., electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, thermocatalysis) due to their ultrathin thickness, large surface area, abundant accessible unsaturated active sites and tunable surface properties. Besides tuning the intrinsic properties of pristine 2D MOFs by changing the metal nodes and organic ligands, one of the hot research trends is to develop 2D MOF hybrids and 2D MOF-derived materials with higher stability and conductivity in order to further increase their activity and durability. Here, the synthesis of 2D MOF nanosheets is briefly summarized and discussed. More attention is focused on summaries and discussions about the applications of these 2D MOFs, their hybrids and their derived materials as electrocatalysts, photocatalysts and thermocatalysts. The superior properties and catalytic performance of these 2D MOF-based catalysts compared to their 3D MOF counterparts in electrocatalysis, photocatalysis and thermocatalysis are highlighted. The enhanced activities of 2D MOFs, their hybrids and derivatives come from abundant accessible active sites, a high density of unsaturated metal nodes, ultrathin thickness, and tunable microenvironments around the MOFs. Views regarding current and future challenges in the field, and new advances in science and technology to meet these challenges, are also presented. Finally, conclusions and outlooks in this field are provided.

Abstract
Due to the slow kinetics of oxygen evolution at the anode, the efficiency of electrocatalytic water decomposition is critically reduced, and its large-scale application is severely restricted. Therefore, it is urgent to develop electrocatalysts with excellent performance and stability to accelerate the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) reaction kinetics. Herein, a self-supporting binder-free electrocatalyst was successfully prepared using in situ grown Cu(OH)2 nanowires on CF as the carrier to grow ZIF-67 via a room temperature immersion method. The combination of Cu(OH)2 nanowires and the unique structure of ZIF-67 forms a three-dimensional nanostructured catalyst, in which the unique structure and the existence of synergy may contribute to a larger electrochemical active surface area, expose more electrochemically active sites, adjust the electronic structure, and accelerate the rate of electron transfer, thus greatly improving the electrocatalytic activity and durability for OER. The as-prepared Cu(OH)2@ZIF-67/CF exhibited excellent OER performance under alkaline conditions and required overpotentials of 205 mV and 276 mV to drive current densities of 10 mA cm-2 and 100 mA cm-2, respectively, with a small Tafel slope of 70.5 mV dec-1 for OER. The stability test of Cu(OH)2@ZIF-67/CF at the current density of 10 mA cm-2 displayed excellent stability for 22 h. This study provides a feasible strategy for the rapid preparation of low-cost and efficient electrocatalysts in alkaline media.
