Abstract: | Developing active, robust, and cost-efficient electrocatalysts is critical for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Here, a novel composite catalyst of Co1-xS embedded in porous dodecahedron carbon hybrid was synthesized by a two-step conversion protocol of a cobalt-based metal-organic framework (ZIF-67). The porous dodecahedron Co1-xS@C composite catalyst was prepared by direct oxidation of ZIF-67 followed by sulfurization reaction. The Co1-xS@C composite exhibit superior OER performance, including a low overpotential of 260 mV for 10 mA/cm2, a small Tafel slope of ~85 mV/dec, outstanding stability over 80 h and almost 100% Faradaic efficiency. The various material characterizations indicate that the excellent activity and strong stability of Co1-xS@C might be attributed to good conductivity of Co1-xS, mesoporous nanostructure, and synergistic effect of Co1-xS encapsulated within porous carbon. This work provides a novel strategy for designing and synthesizing advanced composite electrocatalysts |
