Abstract:
Strategy of anchoring alloy nanoparticles made up of the efficient catalytic element (e.g., Ni, Fe) on dodecyl sulfate (DS ‐ )‐intercalated NiFe layered double hydroxides (DS ‐ ‐NiFe LDH) obtained by a convenient one‐step hydrothermal coprecipitation method for essentially enhancing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance was proposed. The results of structural characterization indicate Pt 2 FeNi alloy nanoparticles evenly distribute on the surface of DS ‐ ‐NiFe LDH. The sizes of the Pt 2 FeNi nanoparticles, closely related to their OER performance, could be well‐controlled by adjusting the amount of H 2 PtCl 6 addition. The composite structure of as‐prepared product was stable during processes of synthesis, exfoliation, self‐assembly, and subsequent electrocatalytic OER. Rigorous electrochemical test proving the contributing catalytic active sites was located at the interface between Pt 2 FeNi and DS ‐ ‐NiFe LDH, and the Ni and Fe were the major active elements while O atoms are adsorption sites. The formation of Pt 2 FeNi nanoparticles could greatly prompt the reduction of Tafel slope. The best‐performing Pt 2 FeNi/DS ‐ ‐NiFe LDH with a Pt content of 0.98 wt% achieved low overpotential of 204 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and 262 mV at 50 mA cm −2 . This work provides a convenient and effective strategy to create additional active sites for enhancing OER performance of NiFe LDH and make contribution to its wide application.
