ABSTRACT
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a crucial half-reaction in water splitting, generating hydrogen for sustainable development, but it is often subject to sluggish kinetics. Abundant transition metal-based OER electrocatalysts have been utilized to expedite the process. However, traditional amorphous catalysts suffer from low conductivity, while the activity of crystalline catalysts is also unsatisfactory. Herein, an amorphous/crystalline heterostructured Co-based hydroxide/tungstate was meticulously constructed and further tailored using a NiFe codoping method (NiFeCoW). Following NiFe codoping, the electronic structure had been modulated, subsequently altering the adsorption toward intermediates. From the electrochemical measurements, the NiFeCoW catalyst demonstrated superior electrocatalytic activity for OER in alkaline media, with a minimal overpotential of 297 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a cell voltage of 1.57 V for water splitting. This study provides valuable guidance for regulating the amorphous/crystalline heterophase in catalysts through bimetallic modulating engineering.
