Nickel foam supported metal–organic framework-derived CoNiPSe/nitrogen-doped carbon electrocatalysts for high-efficiency water electrolysis
摘要
Herein, the cobalt–nickel phosphoselenide nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped carbon(CoNiPSe/NC) was prepared via a one-step pyrolysis method, in which P and Se were incorporated into the MOF-derived cobalt–nickel nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped carbon(CoNi/NC). In the catalyst, the co-doping of phosphorus (P) and selenium (Se) reduced the overpotentials for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) compared to their individually doped counterparts. The CoNiPSe/NC electrocatalyst demonstrated exceptional HER and OER performance, achieving low overpotentials of 123 mV for the HER and 282 mV for the OER at a current density of 10 mA cm−2. Furthermore, CoNiPSe/NC also exhibited excellent stability for the water electrolysis reaction. This study presented an innovative approach for developing high-performance bifunctional electrocatalysts for HER and OER.
