Practical application of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in energy conversion devices, such as water splitting and metal-air batteries, relies on the development of highly efficient and stable electrocatalysts and is still challengeable. Here, Nickel modulated ternary Iron tungsten nitride (Ni-FeWN[Formula: see text] nanosheets are synthesized through a facile hydrothermal growth method and subsequently nitriding process for boosting OER. A potential of 1.57[Formula: see text]V at the current density of 10[Formula: see text]mA/cm2 and Tafel slope (40[Formula: see text]mV/dec) are achieved on Ni-FeWN2, much lower than that on Ni-free FeWN2 and commercial IrO2. More importantly, Ni-FeWN2 nanosheets display high stability and electrocatalytic activity toward driving oxygen evolution efficiently in alkaline media.

Few-layer exfoliated black phosphorus (Ex-BP) has attracted tremendous attention owing to its promising applications, including in electrocatalysis. However, it remains a challenge to directly use few-layer Ex-BP as oxygen-involved electrocatalyst because it is quite difficult to restrain structural degradation caused by spontaneous oxidation and keep it stable. Here, a robust carbon-stabilization strategy has been implemented to prepare carbon-coated Ex-BP/N-doped graphene nanosheet (Ex-BP/NGS@C) nanostructures at room temperature, which exhibit superior oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity under alkaline conditions. Specifically, the as-synthesized Ex-BP/NGS@C hybrid presents a low overpotential of 257 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 with a small Tafel slope of 52 mV dec−1 and shows high durability after long-term testing.

AbstractNickel–iron-layered double hydroxide (NiFe LDH) platelets with high morphological regularity and submicrometre lateral dimensions were synthesized using a homogeneous precipitation technique for highly efficient catalysis of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Considering edge sites are the point of activity, efforts were made to control platelet size within the synthesized dispersions. The goal is to controllably isolate and characterize size-reduced NiFe LDH particles. Synthetic approaches for size control of NiFe LDH platelets have not been transferable based on published work with other LDH materials and for that reason, we instead use postsynthetic treatment techniques to improve edge-site density. In the end, size-reduced NiFe LDH/single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) composites allowed to further reduce the OER overpotential to 237 ± 7 mV (<L> = 0.16 ± 0.01 μm, 20 wt% SWCNT), which is one of the best values reported to date. This approach as well improved the long-term activity of the catalyst in operating conditions.
