Article Abstract
S-doped Fe/Ni oxide and Fe/Ni hydride oxide catalysts exhibit good oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Nevertheless, the over-doping of S and the agglomeration of active sites still hinder the improvement of the performance of these catalysts. The S/O ratio regulation can optimize the electronic structure effectively so as to improve the OER performance of the catalysts, but few studies have focused on this study. Here, we find a facile room-temperature method to synthesize the unique 3D ultra-thin FeNiOS nanosheets with an adjustable S/O ratio for OER. The FeNiOS-NS catalysts exhibit excellent OER performance with an overpotential of 235 mV at 10 mA cmand a small Tafel slope of 64.2 mV decin 0.1 M KOH, which originated from the sufficient exposure of the active Fe-Ni component and the optimized electronic structure due to the tunable S/O ratio. This study demonstrates a novel strategy to optimize the OER performance of Ni-based catalysts.

The development of efficient and economical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts is highly desired, and cobalt-based nanomaterials are promising candidates. In this work, we tackle one key question for cobalt-assisted photocatalytic OER: What is the true active species of Co(OH) for the photocatalytic OER? Hence, we investigated photocatalytic OER on nanostructured Co(OH) and CoO for comparison. We found that there was a significant transformation of Co(OH) during the photocatalytic process with a [Ru(bpy)]/SO buffer.

The quest for sustainable and clean energy sources has led to significant research into photocatalytic water splitting, a process that converts solar energy into hydrogen fuel. This study demonstrates constructing a high-performance CdTe/CN van der Waals heterojunction for solar-driven water splitting hydrogen evolution. The proposed CdTe/CN heterojunction, investigated using first-principles calculations, integrates favorable structural stability and features a direct bandgap of 1.

In this study, we seek to deepen the understanding of the Fe effect in Ni-oxyhydroxide-mediated oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysis in alkaline conditions, where extremely small amounts of Fe can have a dramatic impact on catalytic performance. For this purpose, Density Functional Theory (DFT) electronic structure calculations with implicit solvation description is employed in a constant pH/potential simulation framework. Nanoparticle models are considered for the nickel-based oxyhydroxide material with different degrees of Fe incorporation, and the pH/U-dependent interface structure is studied.

Water electrolysis for hydrogen production has become an industrial focus in the era of green chemistry due to its high purity of hydrogen production and environmentally friendly, efficient process. As the half reaction of water splitting at the anode, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) features a complex and sluggish process that restricts the efficiency of water splitting. The mechanism of OER varies with different electrolytes.

Traditional electrochemical redox assessments offer insights into material properties for charge storage and catalytic kinetics but often fail to link these to specific surfaces, obscuring the structure-performance relationship. Here, we reveal the facet-dependent electrochemical redox behaviors and their connection to oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysis using Co(OH) nanosheets and nanorods as models. By correlating redox charge storage capacity and kinetics with distinct exposed surfaces, we uncover diffusion-controlled redox processes on the basal surface and non-diffusion-controlled behavior on the lateral surface and further utilize the distinct redox charging kinetics to differentiate the two.
