研究目的
Developing highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts by tuning size and morphology and exploiting new catalytic materials.
研究成果
The CCO nanoplates synthesized through PVP-assisted hydrothermal method exhibit outstanding electrocatalytic activity and good long-term stability toward the OER, requiring a low overpotential of 390 mV to attain an anodic current density of 10 mA cm-2. This highlights the importance of size and morphology of CCO for use in OER electrocatalysis.
研究不足
The synthesis of phase-pure and size-tunable delafossite oxides has been challenging, especially at nanoscale. The difficulty lies in the delicate control of hydrolysis and oxidation state of metal species during hydrothermal synthesis.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A PVP-assisted hydrothermal method was used to synthesize CuCoO2 (CCO) nanoplates. The influence of hydrothermal reaction parameters on the morphology, size, and crystal phase of CCO crystals was investigated.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Precursors containing Cu(NO3)2?3H2O, Co(NO3)2?6H2O, PVP, and NaOH were dissolved in deionized water for hydrothermal reactions.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
XRD, SEM, TEM, and XPS were used for characterization.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Hydrothermal reactions were conducted at various temperatures and durations, with different precursor compositions and PVP quantities.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The electrocatalytic performance was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), and the OER activity was compared based on overpotential and Tafel slope.
