A bi-functional electrocatalyst was efficiently synthesized by combining carbon foam with cobalt-centered zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67). The resulting Co-Zn-CNTs catalyst, with well-grown multi-wall carbon nanotubes, showed excellent performance in overall water splitting as cathode and anode. This low-cost and straightforward approach offers a strategy for large-scale fuel cells and water splitting technologies.
An efficient and facile approach to synthesize a bi-functional electrocatalyst via combining carbon foam with cobalt-centered zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) is reported. The carbon foam was synthesized via dehydration of sugar utilizing zinc nitrate, forming Co3ZnC in the carbon matrix. To obtain Co hybridized and Co particles covered with carbon nanotubes embedded in a carbon matrix (Co-Zn-CNTs), physical mixing of both defines the critical point after pyrolysis. Higher content of N-related species and transition metal species in polyvalent states and well-grown multi-wall carbon nanotubes for charge transfer are achieved after the pyrolysis process. The obtained Co-Zn-CNTs catalyst was employed as cathode and anode for overall water splitting (HER and OER) and showed excellent performances. This development offers a low-cost and straightforward strategy to synthesize catalyst material for large-scale fuel cells and water splitting technologies. This development affords a precise method for effectively improving the electrocatalyst performance derived from the ZIF-67 precursor.
