摘要

The sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process impedes the exploration of green hydrogen via water splitting. Herein, we design and synthesize vanadium-doped CoSn(OH)6 perovskite hydroxide catalysts by Fe3+ etching during the hydrothermal and chemical deposition process. The as-prepared CoVSn(OH)6@CoVSnFe(OH)x−4 catalyst exhibits a low overpotential of 225 mV at 10 mA·cm−2 with a Tafel slope of 30.47 mV·dec−1. An overall water splitting electrolyzer (CoVSn(OH)6@CoVSnFe(OH)x−4 || Pt/C) is constructed, delivering a voltage of 1.48 V at a current density of 10 mA·cm−2 with excellent durability. The dynamic phase evolution during the OER process is revealed by in situ Raman and XPS measurement, which represents that the introduced V and Fe ions facilitate the formation of active CoOOH as well as modify the electronic structure of the catalyst. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further evidence that V and Fe introduction optimize the adsorption energies of oxygen intermediates *OH and *O, respectively, thereby enabling a synergistic optimization of the multi-step OER process and advancing electrocatalytic performance.
