- Abstract
- High-entropy spinel oxides (HESOs) are a promising class of electrocatalysts whose material properties and catalytic activity can be finely tuned by controlling the elemental composition. Although numerous HESOs are already reported, their compositions are primarily limited to the first-row transition metals. Herein, the synthesis of a high-entropy spinel (CrFeCoNiMo)3O4 nanosheet (HEO-NS) and its application as oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst are reported. The high-entropy spinel displays a low overpotential of 255.3 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and excellent stability, outperforming the IrO2 benchmark. Careful analysis with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) reveals that the incorporation of high-valence Cr and Mo can activate the lattice oxygen by weakening the metal-oxygen bond and promoting the lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM). Furthermore, the catalyst can achieve a high current density of 1 A cm-2 at 1.71 V in a lab-scale electrolyzer, demonstrating the potential of HESOs for practical application. A high-entropy spinel oxide with high-valence metal sites is designed and synthesized as oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts. The inclusion of high-valence metals can effectively tailor the electronic structure, resulting in a large improvement in catalytic performance when used as anode material in a lab-scale anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer.image
