By coupling black phosphorus nanosheets with nickel hydroxide nanosheets, a 2D/2D heterostructured nanosheet with favorable electronic structure transition and desired intermediate adsorption for alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysis is constructed. The conversion of phosphorus into oxyhydroxide significantly promotes electron transfer and electrocatalytic efficiency, resulting in enhanced OER catalytic activity.
2D heterostructures provide another exciting opportunity for extending the application of 2D materials in energy conversion and storage devices, due to their flexibility in electronic structure modulations and surface chemistry regulations. Herein, by coupling liquid-exfoliated and mildly oxidized black phosphorus nanosheets (BP-NSs) with wet-chemically synthesized 2D nickel Ni(OH)(2) nanosheets (NH-NSs), 2D/2D heterostructured nanosheets (BNHNSs) are rationally constructed with a favorable transition of electron structure and desired intermediate adsorptions for alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysis. When used as an OER catalyst, to reach a current density of 10 mA cm(-2), the overpotential of 2D/2D BNHNSs is only 297 mV, corresponding to a considerable decrease of 22% and 34% compared with the individual 2D NH-NSs and 2D BP-NSs, respectively. The structural tracking at the initial reconstruction stage via time-dependent Raman spectra confirms that the phosphorus oxidization into the P-OH and the phase transformation into oxyhydroxide (NiOOH) significantly promote the electron transfer and electrocatalytic efficiency and thus endow the 2D/2D BNHNSs with much enhanced OER catalytic activity. This work offers new insights on the electron structure modulation of 2D-based heterostructures and opens new avenues for regulating the adsorption of emerging phosphorene-based materials for electrocatalysis.
