This study presents a method to design NiCo2O4/MoO2@ALD-NiO heteronanostructure arrays on a nickel foam substrate, which effectively creates optimal electronic structure and coordination environment at the interface in the heteronanostructure to enhance electrochemical activities. The heteronanostructure exhibits remarkable HER and OER activities and long-term stability in a 1 M KOH solution, providing new insights into the design of cost-effective electrocatalysts for future renewable energy systems.
The precise design of nanomaterials is a promising approach, but remains a challenge toward the development of highly efficient catalysts in water splitting applications. Herein, a facile three-step process to rationally design advanced NiCo2O4/MoO2@atomic layer deposition (ALD)-NiO heteronanostructure arrays on a nickel foam substrate is reported. By effective interface construction, the optimal electronic structure and coordination environment are created at the interface in the heteronanostructure, which can provide rich reaction sites and short ion diffusion paths. Notably, density functional theory calculations reveal that the MoO2@ALD-NiO nanointerface exhibits highly appropriate energetics for alkaline oxygen/hydrogen evolution reactions (OER/HER), thereby accelerating the enhancement in electrochemical activities. Benefiting from the heteronanostructure containing abundant nanointerfaces, NiCo2O4/MoO2@ALD-NiO displays remarkable HER (57.1 mV at 10 mA cm(-2)) and OER (372.3 mV at 100 mA cm(-2)) activities and excellent long-term stability in a 1 M KOH solution. This study provides new insight into the catalytic design of cost-effective electrocatalysts for future renewable energy systems.
