To meet the demand for green energy, scientists have developed a novel catalyst based on Ir-doped CoNi2S4 nanosheets assembled on carbon nanotubes supported on a 3D carbon framework. This catalyst exhibits excellent activity for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, surpassing noble-metal-free electrocatalysts and commercial RuO2 catalysts. It also demonstrates better stability and durability than commercial Pt/C and RuO2 catalysts in an electrolyzer.
To meet the future demand for green energy, the development of catalysts for water splitting has become an essential task for scientists worldwide. In this context, a novel catalyst that relies on Ir-doped CoNi2S4 nanosheets assembled on carbon nanotubes, supported on three-dimensional carbon framework has been developed. The outstanding advantages of core-shell heterostructure and heteroatom doping are that they induce high abundance of exposed active sites and excellent ability for mass/charge transport of the catalyst. Thus, the catalyst provides excellent activity for hydrogen evolution reaction, which surpasses that of the noble-metal-free electrocatalysts reported in the literature. The catalyst also shows superior catalytic behavior for oxygen evolution reaction, which is even better than that of the com-mercial RuO2 catalyst. Impressively, the electrolyzer using the proposed catalyst requires small cell voltages of only 1.60 V and 1.94 V at response current density of 10 mA/cm2 and 50 mA/cm2, respectively. More importantly, this electrolyzer manifests much better stability and durability than those of the electrolyzer using commercial Pt/C and RuO2 catalysts. (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
