ABSTRACT
Interface engineering is an effective strategy to regulate the oxygen adsorption strength and accelerate the kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst by using the synergistic effect and electronic coupling between different metals. However, the design and demonstration of efficient and strongly coupled interfaces remains a bottleneck in the progress of efficient and durable OER catalysts. Herein, we designedly anchored RuSe2 nanoparticles to CoSe2 nanosheet arrays support on nickel foam (NF) to fabricate a RuSe2-CoSe2 nanosheet arrays with robust structure and strong electron coupling. Co-MOF was used as a template to conduce Ru ion exchange and then the precursor was selenized at low temperature to obtain RuSe2 modified CoSe2 nanosheet arrays. Thanks to the strong electron coupling between Ru with Co and the unique nanoarray structure, RuSe2-CoSe2 exhibits excellent OER performance with ultra-low overpotential of 200 mV at current density of 10 mA cm-2, and the performance did not degrade significantly during 100 h of continuous operation. Furthermore, the assembledRuSe2-CoSe2 (+)//Pt/C (-) can reach 50 mA cm-2 in a two-electrode system with a low battery voltage of 1.61 V, which is superior to the commercial RuO2 (+)//Pt/C (-) (1.79 V) electrode. This work provides an effective avenue for the design of highly active and durable electrocatalysts.
