Abstract
Development of efficient and corrosion-resistant catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) offers great promise for seawater electrolysis but remains a challenge. Herein, Fe, Mo-co-doped NiS/Ni3S2 (FeMo-NiSy) rough nanoflakes array on Ni foam has been developed as a high-efficiency OER electrocatalyst for seawater electrolysis. The optimal electrode Fe0.05Mo-NiSy only requires an overpotential of 289 mV to drive 100 mA cm-2 for seawater oxidation, which is 194 mV lower than that of NiSy (483 mV). Based on the experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the significantly enhanced OER activity can be attributed to the modified electronic structure and the reduced free energy of the potential-limiting step after co-doping of Fe and Mo. Importantly, the Fe0.05Mo-NiSy electrode presents great durability in simulated seawater and natural seawater due to the good corrosion resistance. This study provides new insight into bimetallic co-doping sulfides for seawater oxidation.
