Abstract: | The rational construction of high-performance and stable electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a prerequisite for efficient water electrolysis. Herein, we develop a broccoli-like Ni3S2@NiFePx (Ni3S2@NFP) catalyst on nickel foam (NF) via a sequential two-step layer-by-layer assembly electrodeposition method. X-ray diffraction, in situ Raman and Fourier-transform infrared spectra have mutually validated the element segregation and phase refusion during OER condition. The reconstruction of double layer Ni3S2@NFP facilitates the formation of the active (oxy)hydroxides, which is modulated by the dual anionic layer with mixed sulfate and phosphate ions. As a result, the obtained Ni3S2@NFP electrode exhibits low overpotential (329 mV) and long-term durability (~500 h) for OER at current density of 500 mA/cm2. Moreover, the self-supported Ni3S2@NFP can act as an efficient and durable anode in alkaline anion exchange membrane water electrolysis device (AEMWE). This work provides a facile and scaled-up strategy to construct self-supported electrocatalyst and emphasizes the crucial role of anions in pre-catalyst reconstruction and enhancing OER performance. |
