摘要

The rational design of bifunctional catalysts is an effective strategy for realizing large-scale water splitting for hydrogen production. Herein, we fabricated CoFe/CoMoP/NF catalyst via a two-step electro-deposition, the unique interlaced nanosheet structure of which with a larger electrochemical active area and faster electron transfer capability enhanced the efficiency of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and stability of catalysts. The overpotential of the synthesized CoFe/CoMoP/NF was 214 mV for OER at current density of 10 mA cm−2. When CoFe/CoMoP/NF was served as both the cathode and anode, the system could provide a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at a low cell voltage of 1.52 V with the stability of 300 h. This work will be beneficial for designing effective electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.

Graphical Abstract

The overall water splitting system CoFe/CoMoP/NF||CoFe/CoMoP/NF only needs a small cell voltage of 1.52 V to drive 10 mA cm−2 in 1 M KOH with 300-h stability.
