Abstract:
It is attractive but still remains challenging to develop efficient water oxidation electrocatalysts working in a carbonate (Ci) electrolyte. In this communication, we report that a Ni-Co-Ci layer can be developed on a NiCo2O4 nanowire array supported on carbon cloth (NiCo2O4/CC) via electrochemical surface derivation of NiCo2O4. The resulting NiCo2O4@Ni-Co-Ci core-shell nanowire array on carbon cloth (NiCo2O4@Ni-Co-Ci/CC) exhibits high activity toward water oxidation in 1.0 M KHCO3 (K-Ci, pH = 8.3) with the overpotential requirement of 309 mV to drive 10 mA cm-2. NiCo2O4@Ni-Co-Ci/CC also shows long-term electrochemical stability for 20 h and a high turnover frequency of 0.464 mol O2 s-1 at an overpotential of 600 mV.

Spontaneous redox reactions occur abundantly in nature. The chemical reaction occurring in a disposable AA battery powering our remote controls is one such example of a spontaneous redox reaction. Another example is the immersion of coiled copper wire into an aqueous silver nitrate solution. The reaction shows a gradual, visually impressive color change from colorless to bright blue and the formation of a grey precipitate on the copper wire. In this experiment,...
