Electrochemical water splitting requires efficient, low‐cost water oxidation catalysts to accelerate the sluggish kinetics of the water oxidation reaction.

多孔Fe3O4修饰的Ni(OH)2纳米片的制备及其析氧性能研究

近年来,基于析氧反应(OER)的电化学能量转换体系(如电化学制氢、金属空气电池、氮气电还原和二氧化碳电还原)日益受到人们的关注.各种过渡金属基(Mn,Ni,Co,Fe,Cu等)纳米材料(硫化物、氢氧化物、氧化物、磷化物和氮化物等)被认为是潜在的、可以代替贵金属的碱性OER催化剂.其中,高活性和低成本的Ni(OH)2基电催化剂被广泛关注.由于面积效应、结构效应、电子效应和协同效应等因素,Ni(OH)2基纳米材料的电化学活性与其形貌和化学成分密切相关.引入纳米尺寸的孔,不仅加快了传质,而且增加了边缘活性原子的数量,因而有利于活性的增强.超薄二维(2D)纳米片因具有独特的结构特征,可以为电催化反应提供充足的反应位点和低配位数的表面活性原子.杂原子的引入可以调节纳米材料的电子结构和几何结构以提高它们的电催化活性.本文提出了一种简单的混合氰胶水解策略,成功合成了Fe掺杂的Ni(OH)2纳米片(Ni(OH)2-Fe H-STs).氰胶前驱体骨架结构有助于形成超薄多孔的2D结构,而且,通过调节前驱体的浓度就可以获得一定镍铁原子比的产物.不同Fe含量的Ni(OH)2纳米片的OER活性测试结果表明,Ni/Fe比为3:1的Ni(OH)2-Fe H-STs-Ni3Fe1在碱性环境中具有最佳的OER活性.由于Ni(OH)2-Fe H-STs-Ni3Fe1的超薄2D结构使大多数金属原子暴露在表面,使原子利用率最大化.同时,超薄表面上高活性的低配位数的中心原子,可以作为催化OER的高活性中心.薄片上的孔隙有效地增加了高活性边缘原子的数量并且能够加速反应物和生成物的传质.XPS测试结果表明,Fe的引入显著改变了Ni的电子结构,提高了Ni(OH)2 H-STs的导电性,从而促进了电化学过程中NiIV活性物种的产生,进而改变其OER本征活性.三维镍泡沫(NF)可以防止负载纳米材料的聚集,提高转移反应物/产物的传质速率.因此,本文将Fe掺杂的Ni(OH)2纳米片直接生长在NF基底(简写为Ni(OH)2-Fe H-STs/NF).结果表明,NF基底的引入进一步提升导电性和增加传质.综上所述,由于具有高比表面积、丰富的活性原子、Fe/Ni原子之间的协同效应以及NF基底的高导电性和三维多孔特性,通过氰胶水解法获得的Ni(OH)2-Fe H-STs/NF在KOH溶液中表现出优异的OER活性,在10 mA cm^–2电流密度下过电位仅为200 mV,Tafel斜率为56 mV dec^?1,并且材料具有良好的稳定性.

Ni catalysts supported on Al2O3, ZrO2-Al2O3, CeO2-Al2O3 and ZrO2-CeO2-Al2O3 were prepared by coprecipitation method, and their catalytic performances for autothermal reforming of methane to hydrogen were investigated. The Ni-supported catalysts were characterized by XRD, TPR and XPS. The relationship between the structures and catalytic activities of the catalysts was discussed. The results showed that the catalytic activity and stability of the Ni/ZrO2-CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst was better than those of other catalysts with the highest CH4 conversion, H2/CO and H2/COx ratio at 750 ℃. The catalyst showed a little deactivation along the reaction time during its 72 h on stream with the mean deactivation rate of 0.08%/h. The catalytic performance of the Ni/ZrO2-CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst was also affected by reaction temperature, no2 ： nCH4 molar ratio and nH2O ： nCH4 molar ratio. TPR, XRD and XPS measurements indicated that the formation of ZrO2-CeO2 solid solution could improve the dispersion of NiO, and inhibit the formation of NiAl2O3, and thus significantly promoted the catalytic activity of the Ni/ZrO2-CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst.

Hetero-structure induced high performance catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction(OER)in the water splitting reaction has received increased attention.Herein,we demonstrated a novel catalyst system of NiSe₂-CoSe₂ consisting of nanorods and nanoparticles for the efficient OER in the alkaline electrolyte.This catalyst system can be easily fabricated via a low-temperature selenization of the solvothermal synthesized NiCo(OH)x precursor and the unique morphology of hybrid nanorods and nanoparticles was found by the electron microscopy analysis.The high valence state of the metal species was indicated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study and a strong electronic effect was found in the NiSe₂-CoSe₂ catalyst system compared to their counterparts.As a result,NiSe₂-CoSe₂ exhibited high catalytic performance with a low overpotential of 250 mV to reach 10 mA·cm^-2 for OER in the alkaline solution.Furthermore,high catalytic stability and catalytic kinetics were also observed.The superior performance can be attributed to the high valence states of Ni and Co and their strong synergetic coupling effect between the nanorods and nanoparticles,which could accelerate the charge transfer and offer abundant electrocatalytic active sites.The current work offers an efficient hetero-structure catalyst system for OER,and the results are helpful for the catalysis understanding.

In situ conversion builds MIL-101@NiFe-LDH heterojunction structures to enhance the oxygen evolution reaction

The construction of rich phase interfaces to increase active reaction area in hybrid materials is an excellent strategy to improve electrochemical performance. Under this guideline, MIL-101@OX-metal organic framework (MOF) is constructed by the "MOF on MOF" method, then converts to MIL-101@NiFe-layered double hydroxides (LDH) by in situ transformation in alkaline solution. MIL-101@NiFe-LDH shows excellent electrochemical water oxidation performance. It needs only an overpotential of 215 mV to drive 10 mA/cm² of oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is less than that of NiFe-LDH, MIL-101. In addition, MIL-101@NiFe-LDH has the smallest Tafel slope (55.1 mV/dec) compared with NiFe-LDH (61.1 mV/dec), MIL-101 (150.8 mV/dec). The excellent water oxidation activity is due to the high phase interfaces derived from high specific surface area of MOF. This work offers an alternative method for making MOF/LDH heterostructures with an optimized phase interfaces and provides new insights for OER.     

Bifunctional Electrocatalyst with 0D/2D Heterostructure for Highly Efficient Hydrogen and Oxygen Generation

A novel MoS₂ quantum dots/CoSe₂ nanosheet (MoS₂ QDs/CoSe₂) hybrid with 0D/2D heterostructure has been developed. The CoSe₂ nanosheets (NSs) enable an excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity with increasing vacancy configuration on one hand, while the MoS₂ QDs serve as an eminent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst on the other. By integrating MoS₂ QDs and CoSe₂ NSs, the hybrid exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performances in HER and OER. The unique 0D/2D hetero‐interface increases the exposed active sites and facilitates electron transfer, thereby boosting the electrocatalytic activity. Relatively low overpotentials of 82 mV and 280 mV are required to drive the current density of 10 mA/cm² for HER and OER, with corresponding Tafel slopes of 69 and 75 mV/dec, respectively. As such, this work provides an efficient yet simple approach to construct bifunctional electrocatalysts with enhanced activity and stability.     

Synthesis of silk-like FeS2/NiS2 hybrid nanocrystals with improved reversible oxygen catalytic performance in a Zn-air battery

The development of highly active and stable reversible oxygen electrocatalysts is crucial for improving the efficiency of metal-air battery devices. Herein, an efficient liquid exfoliation strategy was designed for producing silk-like FeS₂/NiS₂ hybrid nanocrystals with enhanced reversible oxygen catalytic performance that displayed excellent properties for Zn-air batteries. Because of the unique silk-like morphology and interface nanocrystal structure, they can catalyze the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) efficiently with a low overpotential of 233 mV at j = 10 mA cm^?2. This is an improvement from the recently reported catalysts in 1.0 M KOH. Meanwhile, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of the silk-like FeS₂/NiS₂ hybrid nanocrystals showed an onset potential of 911 mV and a half-wave potential of 640 mV. In addition, the reversible oxygen electrode activity of the silk-like FeS₂/NiS₂ hybrid nanocrystals was calculated to be 0.823 V, based on the potential of the OER and ORR. Further, the homemade rechargeable Zn-air batteries using FeS₂/NiS₂ hybrid nanocrystals as the air-cathode displayed a high open-circuit voltage of 1.25 V for more than 17 h and an excellent rechargeable performance for 25 h. The solid Zn-air batteries exhibited an excellent rechargeable performance for 15 h. This study provided a new method for designing interface nanocrystals with a unique morphology for efficient multifunctional electrocatalysts in electrochemical reactions and renewable energy devices.     

Integrated Ni_2P nanosheet arrays on three-dimensional Ni foam for highly efficient water reduction and oxidation

The large-scale synthesis of efficient nonprecious bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting is a great challenge for future renewable energy conversion systems. Herein, Ni_2P nanosheet arrays directly grown on three-dimensional(3 D) Ni foam(Ni P/NF) are fabricated by hydrothermal treatment of metallic Ni foam with H_2O_2 solution and subsequent phosphidation with NaH_2PO_2. The Ni P/NF as electrocatalyst exhibits superior activities for both hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) and oxygen evolution reaction(OER). Most importantly, employing both as the cathode and anode for an alkaline water electrolyzer, Ni P/NF only requires a cell voltage of 1.63 V to reach a current density of 10 mV cm~(-2), together with stronger durability. Preliminary catalytic information suggests that the tailored 3 D superstructure and integrated electrode configurations afford improved active sties and enhanced electron/mass transfer,responding for the outstanding activity and stability.
