Ligand-tuning of coordination compound for improved oxygen evolution
Controllable regulation of the reconstruction process for the pre-catalysts towards oxygen evolution remains as a great challenge.In this study,we report a bi-ligand strategy to facilitate the structural transformation of coordination compounds to metal oxyhydroxides during oxygen evolution with enhanced activity.A coordination compound consisting of 1,1'-ferrocene acid(Fc)and Ni2+was syn-thesized,in which terephthalic acid was introduced.The second ligand of terephthalic acid facilitates the reconstruction process,inducing an enhanced catalytic activity.In 1 mol·L-1 KOH aqueous solution,the optimized catalyst can drive a current density of 10 mA·cm-2 under a lower overpotential of 220 mV.Using this catalyst,zinc-air batteries can be prepared.The obtained zinc-air battery presents a large specific capacity of 718 mA,h·g-1 with excellent cycling stability for over 100 h far exceeding that of Pt/C+RuO2 battery fabricated with commercial catalysts.The excellent performance and low cost of this catalyst will open up broad prospects for the development of advanced systems for water electrolysis and zinc air batteries.
