摘要

Development of efficient and stable electrodes for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for energy storage and conversion applications, such as hydrogen generation from water splitting, rechargeable metal–air batteries and renewable fuel cells. Alkali metal cobalt phosphates show great potential as OER electrocatalysts. Herein, an original electrode design strategy is reported to realize an efficient OER electrocatalyst through engineering the coordination geometry of Co( II ) in KCoPO _(4) ·H _(2) O by a facile dehydration process. Experimental result indicated that the dehydration treatment is accompanied by a structural transformation from orthorhombic KCoPO _(4) ·H _(2) O to hexagonal KCoPO _(4) , involving a concomitant coordination geometry evolution of Co( II ) from octahedral to tetrahedral configuration. More significantly, the local structural evolution leads to an advantageous electronic effect, i.e. increased Co–O covalency, resulting in an enhanced intrinsic OER activity. To be specific, the as-produced KCoPO _(4) can deliver a current density of 10 mA cm ~(?2) at a low overpotential of 319 mV with a small Tafel slope of 61.8 mV dec ~(?1) in alkaline electrolyte. Thus, this present research provides a new way of developing alkali metal transition-metal phosphates for efficient and stable electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction.
