The development of bifunctional catalysts with subtle structures, high efficiencies, and good durabilities for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is crucial for overall water splitting. In this work, a multicomponent S-doped NiFeO/Ni-Fe micro nano flower electrocatalyst was synthesized rapidly on foam copper using a simple one-step constant current electrodeposition method. The introduction of S leads to the transformation of the microsphere structure of the Ni-Fe alloy into a cauliflower-like morphology and induces changes in the surface electronic structure, significantly enhancing the catalytic performance for the HER and OER. The S-NiFeO/Ni-Fe alloy/CF showed low overpotentials of 220 and 66 mV at 10 mA cmin 1.0 M KOH for the OER and HER, respectively. High durability OER and HER performances were demonstrated through 60 h of chronopotentiometry and 6000 CV cycles test. Excellent overall water splitting electrocatalytic activity was observed in the S-NiFeO/Ni-Fe alloy/CF‖S-NiFeO/Ni-Fe alloy/CF two-electrode system. In particular, active-phase NiOOH, a highly active substance for OER, can be controllably formed in the reaction process owing to the nanoflower structure of multi-layer sulfur which slows down the dissolution of NiFeO/Ni-Fe alloy. These results suggest that this composite structure is a promising bifunctional electrocatalyst.
开发具有精细结构、高效率和良好耐久性的双功能催化剂用于析氧反应(OER)和析氢反应(HER)对于整体水分解至关重要。在这项工作中,采用简单的一步恒电流电沉积法在泡沫铜上快速合成了一种多组分S掺杂的NiFeO/Ni-Fe微纳花电催化剂。S的引入导致Ni-Fe合金的微球结构转变为菜花状形态,并引起表面电子结构的变化,显著提高了对HER和OER的催化性能。S-NiFeO/Ni-Fe合金/CF在1.0 M KOH中,电流密度为10 mA cm-1时,OER和HER的过电位分别低至220和66 mV。通过60小时的计时电位法和6000次循环伏安测试,证明了其对OER和HER具有高耐久性。在S-NiFeO/Ni-Fe合金/CF‖S-NiFeO/Ni-Fe合金/CF双电极体系中观察到了优异的整体水分解电催化活性。特别是,由于多层硫的纳米花结构减缓了NiFeO/Ni-Fe合金的溶解,在反应过程中可以可控地形成活性相NiOOH,这是一种对OER具有高活性的物质。这些结果表明这种复合结构是一种很有前途的双功能电催化剂。
