A novel 3D CoO@NiFe LDH/NF electrocatalyst with superior catalytic activity and long-term stability was prepared using DBD microplasma, providing insights for the rational design of efficient OER electrocatalysts.
A novel approach was designed to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical-structure cobalt oxide (CoO) supported NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets array on Ni foam (NF). Facile preparation was realized by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) microplasma, which owns a great chemical reactivity to obtain 3D open structures. The prepared 3D CoO@NiFe LDH/NF emerges a superior catalytic activity for oxygen evolving reaction (OER) in alkaline media, which only demands an overpotential of 225 mV at 20 mA cm(-2). The asprepared electrocatalyst provides excellent long-term durability (>80 h) and a high turnover frequency (TOF) of 0.59 mol O-2 s(-1) at 350 mV. Compared to the 2D NiFe LDH/NF, the overpotential of CoO@NiFe LDH/NF can be directly reduced 52 mV at 20 mA cm(-2). The intermediate products of hydroxyl radicals (center dot OH) were identified and the possible synthesis mechanism was tentatively proposed. We believe the present work could provide new insight for the rational design of other efficient OER electrocatalysts by DBD microplasma.
