Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) along with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) have been considered critical processes for electrochemical energy conversion and storage through metal-air battery, fuel cell, and water electrolyzer technologies. Here, a new class of multifunctional electrocatalysts consisting of dominant metallic Ni or Co with small fraction of their oxides anchored onto nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (rGO) including Co-CoO/N-rGO and Ni-NiO/N-rGO are prepared via a pyrolysis of graphene oxide and cobalt or nickel salts. Ni-NiO/N-rGO shows the higher electrocatalytic activity for the OER in 0.1 M KOH with a low overpotential of 0.24 V at a current density of 10 mA cm(-2), which is superior to that of the commercial IrO2. In addition, it exhibits remarkable activity for the HER, demonstrating a low overpotential of 0.16 V at a current density of 20 mA cm(-2) in 1.0 M KOH. Apart from similar HER activity to the Ni-based catalyst, Co-CoO/N-rGO displays the higher activity for the ORR, comparable to Pt/C in zinc-air batteries. This work provides a new avenue for the development of multifunctional electrocatalysts with optimal catalytic activity by varying transition metals (Ni or Co) for these highly demanded electrochemical energy technologies.
