The study presents a strategy for transforming Fe-based bimetallic MOFs into corresponding bimetallic hydroxides, which offer abundant catalytically active sites. The optimized NiFe-OH-0.75 catalyst exhibited good performance in electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reactions and could serve as an efficient cocatalyst for photocatalytic water oxidation.
Oxygen evolution from water driven by electrocatalysis or photocatalysis poses a significant challenge as it requires the use of efficient electro-/photo-catalysts to drive the four-electron oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we report the development of an effective strategy for the in situ chemical transformation of Fe-based bimetallic MIL-88 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into corresponding bimetallic hydroxides, which are composed of amorphous ultrasmall nanoparticles and afford an abundance of catalytically active sites. Optimized MOF-derived NiFe-OH-0.75 catalyst coated on glassy carbon electrodes achieved a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) in the electrocatalytic OER with a small overpotential of 270 mV, which could be decreased to 235 mV when loading the catalysts on a nickel foam substrate. Moreover, these MOF-derived Fe-based bimetallic hydroxides can be used as efficient cocatalysts when combined with suitable photosensitizers for photocatalytic water oxidation.
