Colloidal synthesis of iridium-iron nanoparticles for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution
Keyword(s):
Iridium-iron alloy nanoparticles with an average diameter of 2.4 nm have been synthesized by a colloidal synthetic method. By taking advantage of the synergistic effect between Ir and Fe at the molecular level, the as-synthesized IrFe/C catalyst exhibits OER performance with exceptional overpotentials of 278 and 286 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in acidic and alkaline condition, respectively.
