Understanding and manipulating the structural evolution of water oxidation electrocatalysts lays the foundation to finetune their catalytic activity.Herein,we present a synthesis of NiSe2-Ce2(CO3)2O heterostructure and demonstrate the efficacy of interfacial Ce2(CO3)2O in promoting the formation of cat-alytically active centers to improve oxygen evolution activity.In-situ Raman spectroscopy shows that incorporation of Ce2(CO3)2O into NiSe2 causes a cathodic shift of the Ni2+→Ni3+transition potential.Operando electrochemical impedance spectroscopy reveals that strong electronic coupling at heteroge-neous interface accelerates charge transfer process.Furthermore,density functional theory calculations suggest that actual catalytic active species of NiOOH transformed from NiSe2,which is coupled with Ce2(CO3)2O,can optimize electronic structure and decrease the free energy barriers toward fast oxygen evolution reaction(OER)kinetics.Consequently,the resultant NiSe2-Ce2(CO3)2O electrode exhibits remarkable electrocatalytic performance with low overpotentials(268/304 mV@50/100 mA cm-2)and excellent stability(50 mA cm-2 for 120 h)in the alkaline electrolyte.This work emphasizes the signifi-cance of modulating the dynamic changes in developing efficient electrocatalyst.
