Design and Preparation of NiFe2O4@FeOOH Composite Electrocatalyst for Highly Efficient and Stable Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Rational design and constructing earth-abundant electrocatalysts for efficient electrocatalytic water splitting is a crucial challenge. Herein, we report a simple and efficient one-step electrochemical synthetic route of the NiFe₂O₄@FeOOH composite electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction. The unique morphology of the NiFe₂O₄ nanoflowers loaded on FeOOH nanosheets allows more active sites to be exposed and promote charge transfer as well as gas release, and the resulting electrode enables a current density of 10 mA cm⁻² at a low overpotential of 255 mV with outstanding stability at a current density of 100 mA cm⁻² for 300 h.     

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).     

Controllable Synthesis of Fe-Doped NiCo2O4 Nanobelts as Superior Catalysts for Oxygen Evolution Reaction

As one of the promising clean and renewable technologies, water splitting has been a hot topic, especially the half-reaction of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to its sluggish and complex kinetics. Hence, Fe-doped NiCo₂O₄ nanobelts were designed and prepared as catalysts toward OER. By increasing the Fe amount, the catalytic performances of the as-synthesized products went up and then decreased. Profiting from the synergistic effect between Fe atom and NiCo₂O₄, all the Fe-NiCo₂O₄ catalysts exhibited superior catalytic activities to the corresponding NiCo₂O₄. In addition, the characteristic nanobelt architecture facilitates the conduction of electrons and the exposure of active sites. With the optimal Fe content, the 9.1 % Fe-NiCo₂O₄ yielded the smallest overpotential and Tafel slope among the catalysts, distinctly lower than that of RuO₂.     

Preparation of CoFe2O4/sawdust and NiFe2O4/sawdust magnetic nanocomposites for removal of oil from the water surface

In this study, CoFe₂O₄/Sawdust and NiFe₂O₄/Sawdust magnetic nanocomposites were synthesized using a hydrothermal method, and then characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, Infrared, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller/Barrett–Joyner–Halenda, and vibrating-sample magnetometer techniques. In this study, unmodified sawdust (US), modified sawdust (MS), unmodified CoFe₂O₄/sawdust (UCS), modified CoFe₂O₄/sawdust (MCS), unmodified NiFe₂O₄/sawdust (UNS), and modified NiFe₂O₄/Sawdust (MNS) magnetic nanocomposites, which are inexpensive, economical, environmentally friendly absorbents, and have a high selective hydrophobic, were used for the removal of oil from the water surface. The results show that the UCS, MCS, UNS, and MNS magnetic nanocomposites can selectively absorb the oil spreading on the water surface, due to its superhydrophobicity and superoleophilicity, and can be easily collected from water under the influence of a magnetic field. In addition, the results showed that the absorbents reach their equilibrium at the 30-min mark. Among all the absorbents, the MNS magnetic nanocomposite showed the maximum absorption capacity (18.172 g/g) at the 40-min mark. The results of the kinetic studies showed that the second-order kinetic equation with the highest correlation coefficient had the best fit with the experimental results.

Effect of Magnetic Carrier NiFe2O4 Nanoparticles on Physicochemical and Catalytic Properties of Magnetically Separable Photocatalyst TiO2/NiFe2O4

A series of magnetically separable photocatalyst TiO₂/NiFe₂O₄(TN) with different mass ratios of NiFe₂O₄ to TiO₂ was prepared by sol-gel method. The X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy(UV-Vis), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) surface analysis and photoluminescence spectroscopy(PL) were used to characterize the photocatalyst TN. The XRD patterns of TN indicate that adulterating a smidgen of NiFe₂O₄ into TiO₂(about 0.1%, mass ratio) can promote the phase transformation of TiO₂, however, when the doped amount of NiFe₂O₄ surpasses 1%, the introduction of NiFe₂O₄ can inhibit the growth of TiO₂ crystal grain and reduce the size of TiO₂ crystal grain. The XPS results of TN indicate that some Fe³⁺ replace Ti⁴⁺ of the TiO₂ lattice forming Fe―O―Ti bonds. The PL analysis of TN shows that the NiFe₂O₄ nanoparticles in photocatalyst TN play the role of the effective recombination centre of the photogenerated electrons and holes, leading to the decrease in photocatalytic activity.
