NiCo2O4/MXene Hybrid as an Efficient Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Evolution and Reduction Reaction

For the advancement of electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies, bifunctional electrocatalysts are crucial for efficiently driving both the oxygen evolution (OER) and reduction reactions (ORR). Cobalt-based spinel oxides are a class of promising bifunctional electrocatalysts. However their low electrical conductivity and stability may hinder further improvement. A novel composite material composed of NiCo₂O₄ nanoparticles integrated with emerging two dimensional MXene nanosheets (NiCo₂O₄/MXene) was developed. The successful integration of NiCo₂O₄ with MXene brings about a number of attractive structural features. This includes synergistic effects between NiCo₂O₄ and MXene, highly accessible surface areas, complete exposure of numerous active sites, and excellent electronic conductivity, all of which collectively contribute to the desirability of composite material for OER and ORR. The synthesized NiCo₂O₄/MXene composite showed extraordinary OER electrocatalytic activity with a lower overpotential of 360 mV at a current density of 10 mA/cm², and a small Tafel slope of 64 mV/dec compared to NiCo₂O₄, MXene and NiCo₂O₄+MXene (physically mixed). Additionally, NiCo₂O₄/MXene displays an ORR limiting current density of −4 mA/cm² and exhibited highest onset potential and half wave potential of 0.92 V and 0.72 V vs. RHE, respectively, for the ORR in alkaline media compared to NiCo₂O₄, MXene and NiCo₂O₄+MXene (physically mixed).     

Hierarchical NiCo2O4 Hollow Microcuboids as Bifunctional Electrocatalysts for Overall Water‐Splitting

Bifunctional electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline electrolyte may improve the efficiency of overall water splitting. Nickel cobaltite (NiCo₂O₄) has been considered a promising electrode material for the OER. However, NiCo₂O₄ that can be used as an electrocatalyst in HER has not been studied yet. Herein, we report self‐assembled hierarchical NiCo₂O₄ hollow microcuboids for overall water splitting including both the HER and OER reactions. The NiCo₂O₄ electrode shows excellent activity toward overall water splitting, with 10 mA cm^?2 water‐splitting current reached by applying just 1.65 V and 20 mA cm^?2 by applying just 1.74 V across the two electrodes. The synthesis of NiCo₂O₄ microflowers confirms the importance of structural features for high‐performance overall water splitting.
