Magnetic Field Enhancing OER Electrocatalysis of NiFe Layered Double Hydroxide

Xi Qin et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the improved electrocatalytic activity of NiFe LDH towards OER by applying an external magnetic field. The results show a significant reduction in overpotential and Tafel slope of NiFe LDH under a magnetic field of 200 mT. The magnetic field enhancing effect is likely derived from magnetohydrodynamic effects, charge transfer effects, and alignment of magnetic moments of NiFe LDH.

Butler-Volmer meets microscopic reversibility

Stephen Fletcher

Summary: The development of Butler-Volmer Theory aimed to explain the broad range of Tafel slopes observed experimentally. However, despite a century of effort, the theory's applicability remains narrow. This article discusses recent attempts to broaden its scope, the use of microscopic reversibility to generate new insights, and briefly touches on its extension to electrocatalysis.

Recent progress in noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for alkaline oxygen evolution reaction

Deming Tan et al.

Summary: The practical application of splitting water to generate hydrogen is hindered by the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process. Noble-metal-free electrocatalysts have become increasingly significant for improving OER performance due to the high cost and scarcity of noble metals. This review introduces three types of electrolysis and evaluation criteria, followed by recent progress in designing and synthesizing noble-metal-free alkaline OER electrocatalysts, including metal oxides/(oxy)hydroxides, carbon-based materials, and metal/carbon hybrids. Perspectives on the future development of alkaline OER electrocatalysts are also provided.
