摘要

Developing an efficient, affordable and long-lasting electrocatalyst is a primary focus of ongoing investigations for electrochemical water splitting. Herein, MoO3@rGO nanohybrid was fabricated via hydrothermal technique and utilized as catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with Ni foam (NF) serving as a conductive substrate. Because of their vigorous electrical features and cooperative outcome, the MoO3-based composite is more suitable for water oxidation reaction. A range of analytical tools was implemented to assess the crystallinity, morphology, surface area (SA) and thermal durability of the fabricated substances. The electrochemical studies in alkaline media exhibited that MoO3@rGO nanohybrid has remarkable Tafel slope (38 mV/dec) and a lower overpotential (η) of 196 mV at current density (Cd) of 10 mA/cm2 for OER. Moreover, the fabricated nanohybrid possesses remarkable stability after 3000th cycles. All these remarkable outcomes confirmed that the generated nanohybrid is a promising electrocatalyst with effectively regulated ordered structures for increasing OER activity.
