Cobalt/iron bimetal-organic frameworks as efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(19)63384-X

Abstract

Abstract: The development of high efficiency and stable electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution is critical for energy storage and conversion systems. Herein, a series of Co/Fe bimetal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were fabricated using a facile ultrasonic method at room temperature, as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solution. The Co₂Fe-MOF exhibited an overpotential of 280 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm^-2, a low Tafel slope of 44.7 mV dec^-1, and long-term stability over 12000 s in 1 mol L^-1 KOH. This impressive performance was attributed to the high charge transfer rate, large specific surface area, and synergistic effects of the cobalt and iron centers.

Key words: Bimetal-organic frameworks, Oxygen evolution reaction, Electrocatalysts, Synergetic effect, Ultrasonic method
