Electrochemical hydrogen production through water splitting is one of the most promising methods for the storage and utilization of renewable energy. However, it is hindered by the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an efficient and robust OER catalyst through a simple and low-cost method. Herein, we report the in situ fabrication of amorphous Fe–NiSe/NF without a polymeric binder as a three-dimensional (3D) nanowire electrode for efficient water oxidation. It shows good durability in 1 M KOH. This catalyst requires overpotentials of only 233 and 275 mV to drive current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm−2, and it shows a low Tafel slope of 48 mV dec−1. The faradaic efficiency of Fe–NiSe/NF for oxygen evolution was determined to be close to 96.8%.
The development of efficient and stable catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical for the progress of electrocatalytic alkaline water and seawater hydrogen production. Herein, we report a Se-vacancy-rich Fe-doped NiSe nanosheets (VSe-FeNiSe/NFF) with remarkable OER performance in both alkaline and seawater media. It is revealed that the Se vacancies significantly promote the structural reconstruction during the OER process, which facilitates the formation of highly active NiFeOOH and SeO₄²⁻ species, thus delivering exceptional catalytic activity and stability. In alkaline media, they require an overpotential of 242 mV to achieve a current density of 100 mA cm-2, with a low Tafel slope of 27.2 mV dec-1 and robust stability over 500 h. Meanwhile, in seawater media, they just require an overpotential of 253 mV to achieve 100 mA cm-2, with a Tafel slope of 37.8 mV dec-1. Impressively, they could be operated stably for 100 h at 100 mA cm-2. This work not only elucidates the roles of Se vacancies in the reconstruction of selenides during the OER process, but also offers meaningful insight on exploring advanced electrocatalysts for OER in both alkaline water and seawater media.
