Abstract
The durable and economic electrocatalysts with high current density under industrial alkaline conditions are critical for advancing the industrial production of hydrogen energy by water electrolysis. The industrial highly alkaline electrolyte exacerbates the Fe dissolution of NiFe layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH), leading to the dramatic degradation of stability and activity. The NiFe-LDH intercalated Tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) (NiFe-TCPP), 1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) (NiFe-DOTA) and CO32− (NiFe-CO3) are fabricated respectively for electrocatalytic water oxidation under industrial alkaline conditions. In 10 m KOH, compared to NiFe-DOTA (335.0 mV) and NiFe-CO3 (499.2 mV), the resultant NiFe-TCPP exhibits the lowest overpotentials of 290.2 mV at 1000 mA cm−2. The NiFe-TCPP also operates continuously for 1000 h at 500 mA cm−2 with near-zero attenuation. The theoretical and experimental studies reveal that the strong coordination between conjugated carboxylate ligand TCPP and Fe of the laminate inhibits the Fe leaching by increasing the dissolution energy barriers to 4.29 eV and improving the self-healing ability, thus enhancing the stability. Furthermore, the charge redistribution induced by the strong coordination optimizes the d-band centers (-2.81 eV) and decreases the reaction energy barriers (1.47 eV), thereby increasing the catalytic activity.
