- Abstract
- The state-of-the-art iridium and ruthenium oxides-based materials are best known for high efficiency and stability in acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the development of economically feasible catalysts for water-splitting technologies is challenging by the requirements of low overpotential, high stability, and resistance of catalysts to dissolution during the acidic oxygen evolution reaction . Herein, an organometallic core-shell heterostructure composed of a carbon nanotube core (CNT) and bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) shell (denoted as nC-Bi2Te3) is designed and use it as a catalyst for the acidic OER. The proposed catalyst achieves an ultralow overpotential of 160 mV at 10 mA cm-2 (geometrical), thereby outperforming most of the state-of-the-art precious-metal-based catalysts. The low Tafel slope of 30 mV dec-1 and charge transfer resistance (RCT) of 1.5 omega demonstrate its excellent electrocatalytic activity. The morphological and chemical compositions of nC-Bi2Te3 enable the generation of OH functional group in the BiTe sections formed via a ligand support, which enhances the absorption capacity of H+ ions and increases the intrinsic catalytic activity. The presented insights regarding the material composition-structure relationship can help expand the application scope of high-performance catalysts. Organic framework core-shell heterostructure of carbon nanotubes coated with bismuth telluride (nC-Bi2Te3) designed for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction. (nC-Bi2Te3) consists of surface OH groups formed via ligand support, enhance the intrinsic catalytic activity and, attains an ultralow overpotential of 160 mv at 10 mA cm-2, and exhibits the highest oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance among state of art precious metallic catalysts.image
