摘要

In this study, an optically active iron(II)-terpyridine complex (Fe-pt) has been successfully prepared and characterized by different physicochemical methods. Its electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) was assessed by immobilizing Fe-pt onto Ni-foam electrodes. The system exhibited an overpotential of ~ 270 mV at 10 mA cm⁻2, demonstrating excellent catalytic efficiency under alkaline conditions. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronopotentiometry, confirmed its remarkable stability and OER activity. Structural and spectroscopic analyses revealed that the Ni-foam substrate enhances electron transport and provides robust support, further boosting the catalytic performance. Additionally a strong correlation could be observed between theoretical predictions and experimentally obtained structural and spectral changes during the catalytic process. This study highlights the potential of mononuclear Fe-pt complex as durable electrocatalyst for OER applications.
