Abstract
The development of new electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is fundamental for water-splitting devices. In this work, a novel composite based on Ca3Co4O9 (C349) and Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3 (BSCF) was synthesized and characterized using XRD with Rietveld refinement, SEM, EDX, and FTIR. The electrochemical properties were evaluated in a KOH alkaline medium. The composite exhibited exceptional OER electrocatalytic activity, showing an overpotential of 389 mV at 10 mA cm−2, which is lower than the pristine BSCF and C349 samples. Tafel slope of 77 mV dec−1 and double-layer capacitance (Cdl) of 4.37 mF were obtained, indicating an ECSA of 109.25 cm2. The composite also demonstrated a high turnover frequency (TOF) of 1.9 × 10−3 mol O2 s−1, underscoring its superior catalytic efficiency. Impedance spectroscopy revealed that the C349 and BSCF samples exhibited greater limitations in charge transfer compared to the composite. These results highlight the composite’s potential as a highly effective OER electrocatalyst, leveraging the synergistic effects of C349 and BSCF.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry is devoted to all aspects of solid-state chemistry and solid-state physics in electrochemistry.
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry publishes papers on all aspects of electrochemistry of solid compounds, including experimental and theoretical, basic and applied work. It equally publishes papers on the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical reactions if at least one actively participating phase is solid. Also of interest are articles on the transport of ions and electrons in solids whenever these processes are relevant to electrochemical reactions and on the use of solid-state electrochemical reactions in the analysis of solids and their surfaces.
The journal covers solid-state electrochemistry and focusses on the following fields: mechanisms of solid-state electrochemical reactions, semiconductor electrochemistry, electrochemical batteries, accumulators and fuel cells, electrochemical mineral leaching, galvanic metal plating, electrochemical potential memory devices, solid-state electrochemical sensors, ion and electron transport in solid materials and polymers, electrocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, corrosion of solid materials, solid-state electroanalysis, electrochemical machining of materials, electrochromism and electrochromic devices, new electrochemical solid-state synthesis.
The Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry makes the professional in research and industry aware of this swift progress and its importance for future developments and success in the above-mentioned fields.
