摘要: | manipulating the electronic structure of a catalyst at the atomic level is an effective but challenging way to improve the catalytic performance. here, by stretching the fe−o bond in feooh with an inserted mo atom, a fe−o−mo unit can be created, which will induce the formation of high-valent fe4 during the alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (oer). the highly active fe4 state has been clearly revealed by in situ x-ray absorption spectroscopy, which can both enhance the oxidation capability and lead to an efficient and stable adsorbate evolution mechanism (aem) pathway for the oer. as a result, the obtained fe−mo−ni3s2 catalyst exhibits both superior oer activity and outstanding stability, which can achieve an industrial-level current density of 1 a cm−2 at a low overpotential of 259 mv (at 60 °c) and can stably work at the large current for more than 2000 h. moreover, by coupling with commercial pt/c, the fe−mo−ni3s2||pt/c system can be used in the anion exchange membrane cell to acquire 1 a cm−2 for overall water splitting at 1.68 v (2.03 v for 4 a cm−2), outperforming the benchmark ruo2||pt/c system. the efficient, low-cost, and ultrastable oer catalyst enabled by manipulating the atomic structure may provide potential opportunities for future practical water splitting. |
