Abstract
The efficiency of H2 production via water electrolysis is limited by the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER). As such, significant emphasis has been placed upon improving the rate of OER through the anode catalyst. More recently, the Open Catalyst 2022 (OC22) framework has provided a large dataset of density functional theory (DFT) calculations for OER intermediates on the surfaces of oxides. When coupled with state-of-the-art graph neural network models, total energy predictions can be achieved with a mean absolute error as low as 0.22 eV. In this work, we interpolated a database of the total energy predictions for all slabs and OER surface intermediates for 4119 oxide materials in the original OC22 dataset using pre-trained models from the OC22 framework. This database includes all terminations of all facets up to a maximum Miller index of 1. To demonstrate the full utility of this database, we constructed a flexible screening framework to identify viable candidate anode catalysts for OER under varying reaction conditions for bulk, surface, and nanoscale Pourbaix stability as well as material cost, overpotential, and metastability. From our assessment, we were able to identify 122 and 68 viable candidates for OER under the bulk and nanoscale regime, respectively.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered one of the most significant electrocatalysts for the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Hence, a series of novel N,S-codoped Ni-based heterometallic organic framework (HMOF) (NiM-bptz-HMOF, M = Co, Zn, and Mn; bptz = 2,5-bis((3-pyridyl)methylthio)thiadiazole) precatalysts are constructed by the heteroatom and second metal doping strategies. The effective combination of the two strategies promotes electronic conductivity and optimizes the electronic structure of the metal. By regulation of the type and proportion of metal ions, the electrochemical performance of the OER can be improved. Among them, the optimized Ni6Zn1-bptz-HMOF precatalyst exhibits the best performance with an overpotential of 268 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a small Tafel slope of 72.5 mV dec-1. This work presents a novel strategy for the design of modest heteroatom-doped OER catalysts.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:3280. [PMID: 37110115 PMCID: PMC10145119 DOI: 10.3390/ma16083280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Developing cost-effective, highly catalytic active, and stable electrocatalysts in alkaline electrolytes is important for the development of highly efficient anion-exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE). To this end, metal oxides/hydroxides have attracted wide research interest for efficient electrocatalysts in water splitting owing to their abundance and tunable electronic properties. It is very challenging to achieve an efficient overall catalytic performance based on single metal oxide/hydroxide-based electrocatalysts due to low charge mobilities and limited stability. This review is mainly focused on the advanced strategies to synthesize the multicomponent metal oxide/hydroxide-based materials that include nanostructure engineering, heterointerface engineering, single-atom catalysts, and chemical modification. The state of the art of metal oxide/hydroxide-based heterostructures with various architectures is extensively discussed. Finally, this review provides the fundamental challenges and perspectives regarding the potential future direction of multicomponent metal oxide/hydroxide-based electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Development of earth-abundant and robust oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts is imperative for cost-effective hydrogen production via water electrolysis. Herein, we report ultrafine iron (oxy)hydroxide nanoparticles with average particle size of 2.6 nm and abundant surface defects homogeneously supported on oleum-treated graphite (FeOx(n)@HG-T), providing abundant active sites for the OER. The optimal FeOx(0.03)@HG-110 exhibits high electrocatalytic OER activity and excellent stability. Electrochemical testing results and theoretical calculations reveal that the outstanding OER activity of FeOx(0.03)@HG-110 is due to its stronger charge transfer ability and lower OER energy barrier than defect-free FeOx nanoparticles. This work demonstrates that the OER performance of oxyhydroxide-based electrocatalysts can be improved by surface defect engineering.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as alternative OER catalysts due to their easy regulation, such as in situ self-reconstruction from MOFs to metal hydroxides through alkaline hydrolysis. Herein, we demonstrate a facile strategy for the in situ transformation of FeCo layered double hydroxide (FeCo-LDH) nanosheets into 1D spindle-shaped FeCo-MOFs for efficient OER. An optimized electrode of FeCo-MOF on a nickel foam (NF) was achieved by adjusting the addition of organic ligands and the reaction time in the hydrothermal reaction. Based on the unique 1D nanostructure and the cation regulation, the obtained FeCo-MOF exhibits a good catalytic performance toward the OER with a low overpotential of 475 mV at 100 mA cm-2, a small Tafel slope of 121.8 mV dec-1, and high long-term durability. This study provides a facile strategy for preparing bimetal-MOFs as catalysts for efficient OER.
