In this study, a nanoporous FeCoNbS electrocatalyst with nanosheet morphology is synthesized through dealloying AlFeCoNb alloy and steam sulphurization. The introduction of S element improves the electronic structure, increases the active sites, regulates the mass transfer, and enhances the intrinsic activity. The Nb introduction improves the electron transfer ability of the catalyst. The FeCoNbS catalyst exhibits good catalytic performance for both HER and OER in alkaline solution, with overpotentials at 10 mA cm(-2) of 83 and 241 mV, respectively.
Transition metal (TM) sulfides are promising catalysts for water splitting in alkaline media due to their high intrinsic activities and similar TM-S electronic structure with hydrogenase. In this work, the nanoporous FeCoNbS electrocatalyst with nanosheet morphology is synthesized through dealloying AlFeCoNb alloy followed by the steam sulphurization. The introduction of S element improves the electronic structure, further increases the active sites, regulates the mass transfer and enhances the intrinsic activity. The Nb introduction improves the electron transfer ability of the catalyst. The synergistic effect of Fe, Co and Nb improves the intrinsic activity of the active site. The FeCoNbS catalyst exhibits good catalytic performance for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solution. The overpotentials at 10 mA cm(-2) of HER and OER are 83 and 241 mV, respectively. The Tafel slopes of HER and OER are 101.2 and 35.5 mV dec(-1), respectively. The FeCoNbS can serve as overall water splitting electrode with the decomposition voltage of 1.61 V at 10 mA cm(-2). (c) 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
