摘要
In this study, we present atomic layer deposition (ALD) of nickel oxides (NiOx) using a new nickel precursor, (methylcyclopentadienyl)(cyclopentadienyl)nickel (NiCp(MeCp)), and ozone (O3) as the oxygen source. The process features a relatively short saturation pulse of the precursor (NiCp(MeCp)) and a broad temperature window (150-250 degrees C) with a consistent growth rate of 0.39 & Aring; per cycle. The NiOx film deposited at 250 degrees C primarily exhibits a polycrystalline cubic phase with minimal carbon contamination. Notably, the post-annealed ALD NiOx film demonstrates attractive electrocatalytic performance on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by providing a low overpotential of 320 mV at 10 mA cm-2, a low Tafel slope of 70.5 mV dec-1, and sufficient catalytic stability. These results highlight the potential of the ALD process using the NiCp(MeCp) precursor for the fabrication of high-activity catalysts.
