The construction of efficient, durable, and non-noble metal electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great value but challenging. Herein, a facile method is developed to synthesize a series of trimetallic (W/Co/Fe) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived carbon nanoflakes (CNF) with various Fe content, and an Fe-dependent volcano-type plot can be drawn out for WCoFe -CNF. The optimized WCoFe -CNF (when the feed ratio of Fe/Co is 0.3) demonstrates superior electrocatalytic performance with a low overpotential of only 254 mV@10 mA cm and excellent durability of 100 h. Further researches show that appropriate amount of iron doping can regulate the electronic structure, resulting in a favorable synergistic environment. This method may stimulate the exploration of electrocatalysts by utilizing MOFs as precursors while realizing electronic modulation by multimetal doping.
构建用于析氧反应(OER)的高效、耐用且非贵金属电催化剂具有重要价值,但极具挑战性。在此,开发了一种简便方法来合成一系列具有不同铁含量的三金属(W/Co/Fe)金属有机框架(MOF)衍生的碳纳米片(CNF),并且可以为WCoFe-CNF绘制出铁依赖的火山型曲线。优化后的WCoFe-CNF(当Fe/Co的进料比为0.3时)表现出优异的电催化性能,在10 mA cm时过电位仅为254 mV,且具有100小时的出色耐久性。进一步研究表明,适量的铁掺杂可以调节电子结构,从而形成有利的协同环境。该方法可能会激发利用MOF作为前驱体来探索电催化剂,同时通过多金属掺杂实现电子调制。
