Demonstrating the source of inherent instability in NiFe LDH-based OER electrocatalysts

Daire Tyndall et al.

Summary: Nickel-iron layered double hydroxides are highly active catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction, but their stability within the active voltage window is limited. This study identifies the source of catalyst instability by tracking changes in the material during OER activity. In-situ and ex-situ Raman analyses reveal long-term effects on catalyst performance due to crystallographic phase changes. Electrochemically stimulated compositional degradation and leaching of Fe metals from highly active edge sites are identified as the main causes of activity loss.

Won Young An et al.

Summary: In order to achieve a clean and sustainable hydrogen economy, researchers have developed a non-noble metal electrocatalyst, CoSn-Ni3S2@NF, for the oxygen evolution reaction in water electrolyzers.
