Two-step electrochemical oxidation enables synergistic Fe3+ doping and PO43− modification of nickel-based catalysts for efficient oxygen evolution

Abstract

A two-step electrochemical oxidation strategy is developed to fabricate a (Fe3+, PO43−)–Ni(OH)2/NiOOH catalyst on a commercial nickel mesh with an optimal ratio of 0.1 mM Fe3+ and 5 mM PO43− for an alkaline OER. It delivers significantly boosted OER activity and robust 100-hour long-term cycling stability, offering a facile avenue for electrocatalyst design.
