摘要
Rationally designing a noble metal-free electrocatalyst for OER and HER is pivotal for large-scale energy generation via water splitting. A multimetallic electrocatalyst FeVO(OH)/Ni0.86Mo0.07W0.07(OH)(2), aimed at tuning the electronic structure, is fabricated and shows considerable improvement in the water-splitting reaction kinetics, aided by low Tafel slope values of 24 mV/dec for OER and 67 mV/dec for HER, respectively. By taking advantage of ((e) over bar - (e) over bar) repulsions at the t(2g) level, we introduced high-valency Mo and W to provide a viable path for pi-electron donation from oxygen 2p orbitals to vacant Mo and W orbitals for a dynamic electronic structure and an interfacial synergistic effect, which optimized the bond lengths for reaction intermediates to facilitate water splitting. The hybrid catalyst FeVO(OH)/NiMoW(OH)(2) shows intrinsic activity and durability toward OER and HER tested for 48 h at a current density of 20 mA/cm(2) and a cell voltage of 1.65 V @ 20 mA/cm(2).
