Abstract
To effectively address energy challenges,it is crucial to explore efficient and stable bifunctional non-precious metal catalysts.In this study,a Mo-doped nickel-iron layered double hydroxide with flower-cluster archi-tecture was successfully prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method,which demonstrated a good water splitting performance.After an appropriate amount of Mo doping,some lattice distortions in the material provided reactive sites for the adsorption and conversion of inter-mediates,thus optimising the charge distribution of the material.Moreover,the multidimensional void structures formed after doping had a larger specific surface area and accelerated the penetration of the electrolyte,which sig-nificantly improved the activity of the catalyst in alkaline media.At 10 mA.cm-2,the hydrogen and oxygen evolu-tion overpotentials of Mo-doped nickel-iron double hydroxides(Mo-NiFe LDH/NF-0.2)were 167 and 220 mV,respectively,with an excellent durability up to 24 h.When the Mo-NiFe LDH/NF-0.2 catalyst was used as the cathode and anode of an electrolytic cell,the catalyst achieved a current density of 10 mA.cm-2 at an applied voltage of 1.643 V.This study provides a novel approach for designing excellent bifunctional electrocatalysts con-taining nonprecious metals.
