摘要
Water electrolysis for green hydrogen production is gaining tremendous attention in the quest towards sustainable energy sources. At the heart of water splitting technology are the electrocatalysts, which facilitate the two half-cell reactions, i.e., the hydrogen evolu-tion reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), with the latter being the most thermodynamically uphill. Herein, we managed to fabricate Ni1-xFexO microflowers (mFs) with varying % of Fe doping (0 < x < 0.36) via an easy chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The as-synthesized mFs drop-casted on graphene paper (GP) are then applied as electrocatalysts for OER. Compared to contrast catalysts, the electrocatalyst with xFe = 0.1 exhibits a lower overpotential of 297 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, Tafel slope of 44 mV dec-1 and unprecedented turnover frequency of 4.6 s-1 at 300 mV. It is believed that this remarkable electrochemical performance mainly stems from the synergistic effects of
