AbstractFor efficient water splitting, it is essential to develop inexpensive and super-efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we report a phosphate-based electrocatalyst [Fe3Co(PO4)4@reduced-graphene-oxide(rGO)] showing outstanding OER performance (much higher than state-of-the-art Ir/C catalysts), the design of which was aided by first-principles calculations. This electrocatalyst displays low overpotential (237 mV at high current density 100 mA cm−2 in 1 M KOH), high turnover frequency (TOF: 0.54 s−1), high Faradaic efficiency (98%), and long-term durability. Its remarkable performance is ascribed to the optimal free energy for OER at Fe sites and efficient mass/charge transfer. When a Fe3Co(PO4)4@rGO anodic electrode is integrated with a Pt/C cathodic electrode, the electrolyzer requires only 1.45 V to achieve 10 mA cm−2 for whole water splitting in 1 M KOH (1.39 V in 6 M KOH), which is much smaller than commercial Ir-C//Pt-C electrocatalysts. This cost-effective powerful oxygen production material with carbon-supporting substrates offers great promise for water splitting.

Seeking candidate photocatalysts for photocatalytic water splitting, via visible light, is of great interest and importance. In this study, we have comprehensively explored the crystal structures, electronic properties, and optical absorbance of two-dimensional (2D) Sc2CT2 (T = F, Cl, Br) MXenes and their corresponding photocatalytic water splitting, under the visible-light region, by first-principles calculations. Herein, we have proposed that 2D Sc2CT2 MXenes can be fabricated from their layered bulk compounds, alternatively to the traditional chemical etching method. Creatively, we proposed Sc2CT2 (T = F, Br) as new materials; the band edge alignments of Sc2CF2 can be tuned to meet the water redox potentials at pH = 8.0. It is highlighted that Sc2CF2 shows outstanding optical spectra harvested under visible-light wavelength regions, and efficient separation of photo-induced electrons and holes in different zones. These present results provide eloquent evidence and open a new door on the photocatalysis applications of such novel semiconducting MXenes.
