Sulfur species induced Fe3+ and Co3+ enrichment in a low-crystalline FeCoNi hydroxide boosts water oxidation†
Abstract
A low-crystalline S-doped FeCoNi hydroxide is developed via a one-step electrodeposition method. The incorporation of S species changes the electronic properties of FeCoNi hydroxide, resulting in the enrichment of active Fe3+ and Co3+ sites, thereby achieving excellent performance for water oxidation in 1 M or realistic 30 wt% KOH solution.
