Because of the sluggish
oxygen evolution kinetics, it is extremely
important but still challenging to develop low-cost, efficient, and
stable electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to enhance
the efficiency of water electrolysis. Herein, for the first time,
we present a novel heterostructure catalyst, constructed by ultrafine
NiS/Fe3O4 heterostructural nanoparticles decorated
on a carbon nanotube (CNT) matrix (NiS/Fe3O4 HNPs@CNT), which is synthesized by a facile hydrothermal reaction
and subsequent sulfurization process. The NiS/Fe3O4 HNPs@CNT hybrid delivers superior OER activity in alkaline
medium: it delivers a current density of 10 mA cm–2 at an ultralow overpotential of 243 mV with a small Tafel slope
of 44.2 mV dec–1, which outperforms the benchmark
RuO2 electrocatalyst; moreover, it exhibits terrific long-term
stability over 36 h without any noticeable performance decay. The
exceptional OER performance can be attributed to the unique nanoarchitecture,
high conductivity of the CNT matrix, and particularly, the interaction
between the Ni and Fe species in NiS/Fe3O4 heterostructural
nanoparticles. This work introduces a sensible nanoarchitecture design
with a facile and novel fabrication strategy to attain nonprecious
metal-based composite catalysts with high OER performance and outstanding
long-term stability.
