Abstract
En 中文
Electrochemical water splitting, a promising method for green hydrogen production, is currently hindered by the high cost of precious-group metal (PGM)-based catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). This study addresses this challenge by advancing the development of catalysts for OER, focusing on the development of high-performance PGM-free catalysts using nickel-iron-cobalt (NiFeCo)-based aerogels. The catalysts were synthesized via a sol-gel method and critical point drying to achieve a highly porous structure with an exceptionally high surface area. The designed catalyst structure provides an ideal platform for maximizing catalytic active sites and enhancing mass transport kinetics. Co has been systematically incorporated into the current PGM-free state-of-the-art, NiFeOx catalyst, and the metal ratios have been optimized. In addition to the experimental studies, density functional theory calculations were performed to study the material’s properties of this ternary catalyst and the effect of Co addition on enhancing OER catalysis.
