Abstract
The efficiency of electrochemical water splitting for hydrogen production has been enormously impeded by the sluggish anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Hence, it is highly imperative to investigate high-performance and low-cost OER catalysts. Herein, we present a simple route to achieve amorphous nickel cobalt borate in-situ generated and modified nickel cobalt organic framework (NiCoBi/NiCoMOF) electrocatalyst. Benefiting from the rough surface and abundant active sites provided by the unique amorphous-crystalline nanosheet structure, and the modulated electronic structure and enriched oxygen vacancies caused by the introduction of electronegative boronic acid anions, NiCoBi/NiCoMOF demonstrates clearly optimized catalytic activity and gratifying stability towards the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1.0 M KOH. This study not only provides an effective approach for designing transition metal borates using MOF as a precursor, but also introduces a novel method for developing efficient OER catalysts.
电化学水分解制氢的效率受到缓慢的阳极析氧反应(OER)的极大阻碍。因此,研究高性能、低成本的OER催化剂势在必行。本文提出了一种原位生成和修饰镍钴有机骨架(NiCoBi/NiCoMOF)电催化剂的简单方法。得益于独特的非晶纳米片结构提供的粗糙表面和丰富的活性位点,以及引入电负性硼酸阴离子引起的调制电子结构和丰富的氧空位,NiCoBi/NiCoMOF在1.0 M KOH下对析氧反应(OER)表现出明显优化的催化活性和令人满意的稳定性。本研究不仅为设计以MOF为前驱体的过渡金属硼酸盐提供了有效的途径,而且为开发高效的OER催化剂提供了一种新方法。
