Oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalyzed on a Fenton-treated gold surface.
Hydroxyl radicals arising from the Fenton reagent remove metastable surface gold atoms (low coordinated high-energy surface atoms) on the Au surface, thus precluding the formation of stable oxides. The resultant smooth surface, upon hydroxyl-radical activation, electrocatalyzes oxygen evolution reaction in 0.1 M NaOH at overpotentials lowered by 190 mV @ 10 mA cm(-2).
متن کاملChemical Recognition of Active Oxygen Species on the Surface of Oxygen Evolution Reaction Electrocatalysts
Owing to the transient nature of the intermediates formed during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on the surface of transition metal oxides, their nature remains largely elusive by the means of simple techniques. The use of chemical probes is proposed, which, owing to their specific affinities towards different oxygen species, unravel the role played by these species on the OER mechanism. Fo...
متن کاملImpedance Spectra of the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction at Low Cathodic Overpotentials
Impedance spectra of the hydrogen evolution reaction, HER, at low cathodic overpotentials were analyzed on the basis of the theoretical admittance/frequency function, initially derived for the Volmer-Heyrovsky-Tafel reaction mechanism involving the hydrogen insertion (absorption + diffusion) step. General principles of the impedance spectroscopy for HER are discussed using schematically constru...
متن کاملNickel Oxide/Carbon Nanotubes as Active Hybrid Material for Oxygen Evolution Reaction
Carbon nanotubes are of great interest due to their high surface area and rich edge sites, which are favorable for wide applications. Here, a simple and efficient routine is presented by decoration of multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) with nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles.The morphologies of NiO-MWCNT were investigated by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energydispersive X-...
متن کاملCovalency-reinforced oxygen evolution reaction catalyst
The oxygen evolution reaction that occurs during water oxidation is of considerable importance as an essential energy conversion reaction for rechargeable metal-air batteries and direct solar water splitting. Cost-efficient ABO3 perovskites have been studied extensively because of their high activity for the oxygen evolution reaction; however, they lack stability, and an effective solution to t...
