Ternary transition metal of Fe/Co/Ni doping on MoSx nanowires for highly efficient electrochemical oxygen evolution
The crucial step for splitting water is the oxygen evolution reaction . The key to promote this reaction lies in the catalyst. Molybdenum disulfide , as a two-dimensional material with molybdenum and sulfur atoms stacked, is especially suitable as a doping platform to develop high-performance OER catalysts. Fe/Co/Ni ternary transition metal combination has always been a highly active catalytic site for OER. Heteroelement of Fe/Co/Ni doping is expected to effectively modify the local electronic configuration of matrix materials and thus enhances their electrocatalytic OER capability. With this in mind, we report a simple in-situ hydrothermal doping of MoS x nanowires on iron‑nickel alloy foam with ternary transition metal of Fe/Co/Ni. This ternary transition metal of Fe/Co/Ni doped f self-supported electrode (denoted Fe/Co/Ni-MoS x /INF) displays outstanding OER performance in terms of small overpotentials of 214 and 263 mV at current densities of 10 and 100 mA/cm 2 , respectively, in alkaline solution. It was far better than the commercial Ir/C catalysts (253 and 434 mV@10 and 100 mA/cm 2 ). The Tafel slope is about 48.1 mV/dec. Moreover, Fe/Co/Ni-MoS x /INF also has an excellent catalytic stability without any obvious performance decay after 20 h operation. This work contributes to the investigation of high-efficiency OER catalysts based on transition metal-doped MoS x and offers a substitute for noble metal catalysts.
