摘要

As one of the most promising candidates for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), NiFe hydroxideshave attracted tremendous attention due to their earth abundance, cost-effectiveness, and relativelyhigh catalytic activity. In this work, to investigate the effect of the underlying substrate on theelectrocatalytic activity of NiFe hydroxides for the OER, NiFe hydroxides were prepared on varioussubstrates including Au, Cu, C, ITO, and Ti via an electrodeposition technique. The whole preparationprocess is extremely clean since it avoids the introduction of any surfactants, binders, reducers orcapping agents, ensuring the clean surface of NiFe hydroxides and thus allowing a true comparison ofthe effect of the substrate composition on the electrocatalytic performance of NiFe hydroxides. Thesurface morphology and chemical element distribution of the electrodes were studied by a scanningelectron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and the chemical composition wascharacterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The NiFe hydroxides electrodeposited on varioussubstrates exhibit similar thin film surface morphologies and are grown horizontally on the surface ofthe substrate, possessing some small wrinkles approximately vertically aligned to the surface. Amongthe NiFe hydroxides formed on the various substrates, the NiFe hydroxides on the Au substrate exhibitthe most remarkable enhancement in electrocatalytic activity towards the OER, and the current densityreaches 149 mA cm –2 at 0.8 V (vs. saturated calomel electrode). The catalytic current density shows noevident decay after an accelerated durability test of 10000 s. This work provides a systematic study onthe influence of the substrate composition on the electrocatalytic activity of electrodeposited NiFehydroxides and demonstrates new ways to develop high-performance catalysts.
