摘要
Transition metal-based catalysts possess high catalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the preparation of high-performance OER electrocatalysts using simple strategies with a low cost still faces a major challenge. Herein, this work presents an innovative, in situ-induced preparation of the Fe2O3, FeS, and NiS nanoparticles, supported on carbon blacks (CBs) (denoted as Fe2O3-Fe(Ni)S/C) as a high-efficiency oxygen evolution electrocatalyst by employing biomineralization. Biomineralization, a simple synthesis strategy, demonstrates a huge advantage in controlling the size of the Fe2O3 and Fe(Ni)S nanoparticles, as well as achieving uniform nanoparticle distribution on carbon blacks. It is found that the electrocatalyst Fe2O3-Fe(Ni)S/C-200 shows a good OER electrocatalytic activity with a small loading capacity, and it has a small overpotential and Tafel slope in 1 m KOH solution with values of 264 mV and 42 mV dec-1, respectively, at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. Additionally, it presents good electrochemical stability for over 24 h. The remarkable and robust electrocatalytic performance of Fe2O3-Fe(Ni)S/C-200 is attributed to the synergistic effect of Fe2O3, FeS, and doped-Ni species as well as its distinct 3D spherical structure. This approach indicates the promising applications of biomineralization for the bio-preparation of functional materials and energy conversion.
