PG - 607-618 LID - S0021-9797(22)01380-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jcis.2022.08.009 [doi] AB - Efficient and durable nonprecious catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are crucial for practical water electrolysis for hydrogen production. A self-supported OER catalytic electrode with sufficient exposure of the catalyst and tight anchoring onto the current collector is vital for the catalytic activity and stability, and is therefore deemed to be a preferable tactic to enhance water electrolysis performance. Herein, a polyoxometalate (POM) molecular cluster-mediated electroplating and activation tactics are proposed to design a self-supported molybdenum nickel oxide (MoNiO(x)) catalytic electrode for the OER. The MoNiO(x) active layer can anchor tightly onto the Ni foam current collector with sufficient surface exposure and high structural stability, therefore enabling high alkali OER catalytic efficiency (222 mV at 10 mA cm(-2)) and robust durability (only slight decay in catalytic efficiency upon 12 days of chronopotentiometry (V-t) test). Moreover, the easily processable electroplating and active protocol can serve as a general approach to prepare other OER catalytic electrodes by altering the reactants and current collectors. The current work paves a facile and universal way to design a highly active and durable molybdenum (Mo) based hybrid catalytic electrode for OER via molecular cluster-assisted electroplating and activation treatment.
