The rational fabrication of highly efficient electrocatalysts with low cost toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is greatly desired but remains a formidable challenge. In this work, we present a facile and straightforward method of incorporating NiCo-layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) into GO-dispersed CNTs (GO-CNTs) with interconnected configuration. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) reveals the strong electron interaction between NiCo-LDH and the underlying GO-CNTs substrate, which is supposed to facilitate charge transfer and accelerate the kinetics for OER. By tuning the amount of CNTs, the optimized NiCo-LDH/GO-CNTs composite can achieve a low overpotential of 290 mV at 10 mA·cm−2 current density, a small Tafel slope of 66.8 mV·dec−1 and robust stability, superior to the pure NiCo-LDH and commercial RuO2 in alkaline media. The preeminent oxygen evolution performance is attributed to the synergistic effect stemming from the merits and the intimate electron interaction between LDH and GO-CNTs. This allows NiCo-LDH/GO-CNTs to be potentially applied in an industrial non-noble metal-based water electrolyzer as the anodic catalysts.

NiCo-LDH 纳米片与 GO-CNTs 强耦合作为析氧反应的混合电催化剂

非常需要合理制造低成本的高效电催化剂以进行析氧反应(OER),但仍然是一个艰巨的挑战。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种将 NiCo 层状双氢氧化物 (NiCo-LDH) 结合到具有互连配置的 GO 分散的 CNT (GO-CNT) 中的简便方法。X 射线吸收光谱 (XAS) 揭示了 NiCo-LDH 与底层 GO-CNTs 基底之间的强电子相互作用,这应该促进电荷转移并加速 OER 的动力学。通过调整碳纳米管的数量,优化的 NiCo-LDH/GO-CNTs 复合材料在 10 mA·cm -2电流密度下可以实现 290 mV 的低过电位,66.8 mV·dec -1的小塔菲尔斜率和强大的稳定性,在碱性介质中优于纯 NiCo-LDH 和商业 RuO 2。卓越的析氧性能归因于源于 LDH 和 GO-CNT 之间的优点和密切电子相互作用的协同效应。这使得 NiCo-LDH/GO-CNTs 有可能作为阳极催化剂应用于工业非贵金属基水电解槽。
