摘要/Abstract

摘要： Metal sulphide electrocatalyst is considered as one of the most promising low-cost candidates for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this work, we report a novel free-standing Cu₂S branch array via a facile TiO₂-induced electrodeposition-sulfurization method. Interestingly, cross-linked Cu₂S nanoflake branch is strongly anchored on the TiO₂ backbone forming high-quality Cu₂S/TiO₂/Cu₂S core-branch arrays. The branch formation mechanism is also proposed. As compared to the pure Cu₂S nanowire arrays, the asprepared Cu₂S/TiO₂/Cu₂S core-branch arrays show much better alkaline OER performance with lower overpotential (284 mV at 10 mA cm^-2) and smaller Tafel slope (72 dec^-1) as well as enhanced longterm durability mainly due to larger exposed area and more active electrocatalytic sites. Our work provides a new way for construction of advanced metal sulphide electrocatalysts for electrochemical energy conversion.
