摘要

Industrial catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) of water electrolysis are key to realizing green and clean hydrogen production. In this study, multivariate transition metal hydroxide catalysts with high-entropy structure were prepared, which exhibited optimized electrocatalytic performance and stability for water splitting in alkaline media. Using copper foam as the substrate, samples are obtained through the step-by-step combination and tuning of the multi-components. The electrochemical performance test results show that the optimized FeCoCuMoMnOOH catalyst exhibits an exceptional catalytic effect for the OER with an overpotential of 227 mV at a current density of 100 mA/cm2, much superior to the performance of FeCoCuOOH and FeCoCuMoOOH. In the 30-h timed current method test, the performance of the FeCoCuMoMnOOH catalyst is essentially non-decaying and shows good stability. The XPS results indicate that the metal components are stably combined to exist as a mixture of metal phases in the samples, which exerts a beneficial synergistic effect and offers more active sites. Meanwhile, Mn as an electron donor can increase the electron density and optimize the electron transport structure, which is conducive to the electrochemical reaction rate. This work sheds light on presenting an effective strategy for constructing multi-element high-entropy combinations with modulated component ratios, which provides a new idea for designing efficient and stable transition metal hydroxyl oxide catalysts.
