Black phosphorus (BP) is coupled with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to construct a metal-free BP/CNT (2D/1D) hetero-interface, which effectively improves the activity and stability of BP for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The optimization of interfacial electronic structure and electron transfer process in this heterostructure lowers the activation energy of OER. The best BP/CNT sample exhibits a lower overpotential than RuO2. This work inspires the design of BP-based heterostructures for OER and reveals the interfacial promotion effect.
Black phosphorus (BP) is susceptible to oxidization under ambient conditions due to the exposed active lone pair electrons of P atoms, which will greatly decrease in activity and stability for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Moreover, inferior adsorption property of BP partly restricts the OER activity. To solve these problems, BP is coupled with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for constructing efficient metal-free BP/CNT (2D/1D) hetero-interface to transfer electrons and optimize the adsorption property. As is anticipated, characterization results reveal electrons transfer via this hetero-interface from BP NSs to CNTs occurs and alters interfacial electronic structure. Thus, this BP/CNT heterostructure displays high conductivity and superior electrophilicity. With this optimization of intrinsic electron -structure, the rate-determining step of electron transfer process is converted into chemi-cal reaction process, and the activation energy towards OER dramatically is lowered. This effectively promotes the intrinsic activity and stability of BP/CNT hybrid. Moreover, here BP/CNT ratio, electrolytic time and electrolyte type are regulated to obtain best samples. The best BP/CNT prepared with TBACF3SO3 exhibits the lower overpotential of 35 mV than RuO2 at 10 mA cm-2. This work inspires us to design BP-based heterostructure and reveal the interfacial promotion effect for OER. (c) 2023 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
