One dimensional nickel phosphide polymorphic heterostructure as carbon-free functional support loading single-atom iridium for promoted electrocatalytic water oxidation

Abstract

Abstract: Although conducting materials such as carbon nanotube and carbon fiber paper (CFP) have been exten-sively employed as support of electrocatalytic active sites, most of them are of poor catalytic functionality by themselves and undesirable stability during strong acid/alkaline environments or oxidation process. Here we report a novel one-dimensional (1D) nickel phosphide polymorphic heterostructure (denoted as NPPH) to work as one effective carbon-free functional support for loading of single-atom Ir water oxi-dation electrocatalyst. Specifically, the NPPH composed of both Ni₁₂P₅ and Ni₂P phases is not only active for robust alkaline water oxidation but also is of good stability and hydrophilicity for favorable loading of single-atom dispersed iridium. The NPPH supported single-atom Ir electrocatalyst (Ir/NPPH) is found to exhibit remarkably superior water oxidation activity with respect to the NPPH itself or CFP supported single-atom Ir catalyst (Ir/CFP), demonstrating the synergetic promotion effect between NPPH and single-atom Ir catalyst. Furthermore, the NPPH supported single-atom Ir catalyst can bear alkaline water oxidation for over 120 h at current density of 50 mA cm^-2. The NPPH developed here is expected as func-tional support to composite with other water oxidation catalysts, as may be an alternative strategy of developing highly efficient carbon-free electrocatalysts.
