This study focuses on the design and development of cobalt telluride (CoTe2)-tungstentelluride (WTe2) nanostructures with high porosity and specific surface area to enhance electrochemical water splitting. The synergistic effects of Co and W atoms in the nanostructures improve electron transfer and provide optimal binding energy for reaction intermediates. The CoTe2-WTe2 nanostructures exhibit low overpotential for oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions in alkaline solution, and a two-electrode cell using these nanostructures as both anode and cathode shows low cell potential and good stability.
Heterointerfaces in the form of nanostructurescan drasticallyimprove electrochemical water splitting. This study is geared towardthe design and development of cobalt telluride (CoTe2)-tungstentelluride (WTe2) nanostructures with good porosity anda high specific surface area, leading to faster overall water splittingkinetics. This is attributed to the enhanced synergistic effects ofCo and W atoms, which regulate electron transfer and give rise tooptimum binding energy for reaction intermediates. CoTe2-WTe2 nanostructures have demonstrated a low oxygenevolution reaction overpotential of 184 mV @ 10 mA cm(-2) and a low hydrogen evolution reaction overpotential of 178 mV @10 mA cm(-2) in alkaline solution. A two-electrodecell with CoTe2-WTe2 nanostructures asboth the anode and the cathode exhibits a low cell potential of 1.52V at a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) with good stabilityfor 50 h (7.8% reduction in current density). This study emphasizesthe significance of heterointerface design in transition metal tellurideelectrocatalysts.
