Rational design of RuO2 composites from hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks for alkaline oxygen evolution reaction
Materials Today Sustainability(2024)
摘要
In the past few decades, the task of creating electrocatalysts with consistent costs for facilitating oxygen evolution reactions with minimal overpotential remains a formidable challenge in the realm of chemical energy conversion technologies. In this report, we present a straightforward approach for synthesizing the melamine trithiocynauric acid (MTC) and ruthenium dioxide (RuO2) based, MTC/RuO2 composite, which demonstrates high efficiency in catalyzing oxygen evolution reaction. The physical characterizations for the prepared material are x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and x-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) all approve the presence of RuO2 in the MTC composite structure. For oxygen evolution reaction the composite (MTC/RuO2-0.2) exhibited an exceptionally low overpotential of 190 mV for the current density of 10 mA cm−2 and also demonstrated a Tafel slope of 52 mV dec−1. Significant improvement in electrocatalytic activity is observed in alkaline electrolyte (1 M KOH). The outstanding behavior of the catalyst is due to the structural synergistic effect between MTC and RuO2. So far there is no report on RuO2-based hydrogen bonded organic frameworks for oxygen evolution reaction. The catalyst also shows high stability for almost 24 h. Hence, the MTC/RuO2-0.2 composite is highly unique and efficient.
