Fe-doping induced electronic structure reconstruction in Ni-based metal-organic framework for improved energy-saving hydrogen production via urea degradation

Xingxiu Zhang et al.

Summary: Urea-assisted water electrolysis is an energy-saving strategy for hydrogen production and wastewater treatment. The key to solving these challenges lies in efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for urea oxidation reaction (UOR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this study, Fe-doped Ni-based MOF nanosheet arrays (FeNi-MOF NSs) were synthesized through a one-step hydrothermal method for efficient urea-assisted water electrolysis. The FeNi-MOF NSs achieved high current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm-2 at overpotentials of 131 and 155 mV, respectively, in UOR. The excellent UOR performance was attributed to electronic structure reconstruction induced by Fe-doping in the MOF, which promoted the formation of abundant high-valence Ni active centers for UOR and created more electronic states with optimized adsorption energies for reactant and product molecules on the surface, benefiting the UOR kinetics. The FeNi-MOF NSs were also used for HER, and a urea electrolyzer was assembled with a low cell voltage and excellent stability during long-term electrolysis.
