    Abstract

  • Abstract

    Electrocatalytic water splitting provides an efficient method for the production of hydrogen. In electrocatalytic water splitting, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) involves a kinetically sluggish four-electron transfer process, which limits the efficiency of electrocatalytic water splitting. Therefore, it is urgent to develop highly active OER catalysts to accelerate reaction kinetics. Coupling single atoms and clusters in one system is an innovative approach for developing efficient catalysts that can synergistically optimize the adsorption and configuration of intermediates and improve catalytic activity. However, research in this area is still scarce. Herein, we constructed a heterogeneous single-atom cluster system by anchoring Ir single atoms and Co clusters on the surface of Ni(OH)2 nanosheets. Ir single atoms and Co clusters synergistically improved the catalytic activity toward the OER. Specifically, ConIr1/Ni(OH)2 required an overpotential of 255 mV at a current density of 10 mA·cm−2, which was 60 mV and 67 mV lower than those of Con/Ni(OH)2 and Ir1/Ni(OH)2, respectively. The turnover frequency of ConIr1/Ni(OH)2 was 0.49 s−1, which was 4.9 times greater than that of Con/Ni(OH)2 at an overpotential of 300 mV.

    Abstract

    Electrocatalytic water splitting provides an efficient method for the production of hydrogen. In electrocatalytic water splitting, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) involves a kinetically sluggish four-electron transfer process, which limits the efficiency of electrocatalytic water splitting. Therefore, it is urgent to develop highly active OER catalysts to accelerate reaction kinetics. Coupling single atoms and clusters in one system is an innovative approach for developing efficient catalysts that can synergistically optimize the adsorption and configuration of intermediates and improve catalytic activity. However, research in this area is still scarce. Herein, we constructed a heterogeneous single-atom cluster system by anchoring Ir single atoms and Co clusters on the surface of Ni(OH)2 nanosheets. Ir single atoms and Co clusters synergistically improved the catalytic activity toward the OER. Specifically, ConIr1/Ni(OH)2 required an overpotential of 255 mV at a current density of 10 mA·cm−2, which was 60 mV and 67 mV lower than those of Con/Ni(OH)2 and Ir1/Ni(OH)2, respectively. The turnover frequency of ConIr1/Ni(OH)2 was 0.49 s−1, which was 4.9 times greater than that of Con/Ni(OH)2 at an overpotential of 300 mV.

    • Public Summary

    • A heterogeneous single-atom cluster system was constructed by anchoring Ir single atoms and Co clusters on the oxygen vacancy sites of the Ni(OH)2 nanosheets.
    • The Ir single atoms were mainly coordinated with oxygen, while the Co clusters were also coordinated with oxygen and formed by the second shell of the Co-Co coordination.
    • Ir single atoms and Co clusters synergistically improved the catalytic activity and accelerated the kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction.
