Development of high-performance, high-stability and low-cost electrocatalysts toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is pivotal to the water electrolysis at industrial current density. Herein, a novel Fe/Ni-based hierarchical structure was constructed with the assistance of 2D MXene, showing vertically aligned Ni(OH)2 nanosheets decorated with distinct Fe2O3 morphologies. The Fe2O3/Ni(OH)2/NF exhibited a remarkable OER activity and required only overpotentials of 291, 319 and 341 mV respectively at 500, 1000 and 1500 mA cm−2 in alkaline solution and drove the current density of 1300 mA cm−2 about 17 h at the potential of 1.64 V vs RHE. The Fe2O3/Ni(OH)2 precursor underwent in situ surface reconstitution into active FeOOH/NiOOH during alkaline OER. The outstanding performance of Fe2O3/Ni(OH)2/NF was attributable to the synergistic impact between FeOOH and NiOOH for regulating the optimal adsorption of OER intermediates. This work provides an ideal perspective to fabricate resource-rich, low-cost and high-activity FeNi-based electrode for alkaline OER at industrial current density.

表面重建使 Fe2O3/Ni(OH)2 纳米片阵列在超高电流密度析氧反应中具有出色的性能
开发高性能、高稳定性和低成本的析氧反应 (OER) 电催化剂对于工业电流密度下的水电解至关重要。在此,借助 2D MXene 构建了一种新型的基于 Fe/Ni 的分层结构,显示出装饰有不同 Fe 2 O 3形态的垂直排列的 Ni(OH) 2纳米片。Fe 2 O 3 /Ni(OH) 2 /NF 表现出显着的 OER 活性,在碱性溶液中在500、1000 和 1500 mA cm -2下分别仅需要 291、319 和 341 mV 的过电势,驱动电流密度为 1300毫安厘米-2在 1.64 V vs RHE 的电位下约 17 小时。在碱性 OER 过程中,Fe 2 O 3 /Ni(OH) 2前体在原位表面重组为活性 FeOOH/NiOOH。Fe 2 O 3 /Ni(OH) 2 /NF的出色性能归因于 FeOOH 和 NiOOH 之间的协同作用调节 OER 中间体的最佳吸附。这项工作为在工业电流密度下为碱性 OER 制造资源丰富、低成本和高活性的 FeNi 基电极提供了理想的视角。
