Facile synthesis of the encapsulation of Co-based multimetallic alloys/oxide nanoparticles nirtogen-doped carbon nanotubes as electrocatalysts for the HER/OER
International Journal of Hydrogen Energy(2022)
摘要
The pivotal challenge of electrocatalysis remains the development of highly effective electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this work, a universal strategy of preparing the encapsulation of Co-based multimetallic alloys/oxide nanoparticles in nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (named CoM@CNTs, M = Ni/Mn/Fe) was induced by annealing mixtures of the as-synthesized precursor, ethanol and different metallic acetates, including binary CoNi@CNTs, ternary CoNi/MnO@CNTs and quaternary CoNiFe/MnO@CNTs. By virtue of its unique structure with a high electrical conductive network based on CNT substrates, abundant catalytic active sites supplied by multimetallic nanoparticles and protection against nanoparticle corrosion by N-doped carbon layers, the as-synthesized CoNiFe/MnO@CNTs electrocatalyst has remarkable HER properties with a low overpotential of 122 mV and OER activity with a low overpotential of 275 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and excellent stability and durability under long-term testing in alkaline solutions. Therefore, this strategy will provide a new route for fabricating multimetallic-based CNTs as HER/OER electrocatalysts with excellent stability and high catalytic activity.
