Retracted: Earth‐Abundant Iron Diboride (FeB2) Nanoparticles as Highly Active Bifunctional Electrocatalysts for Overall Water Splitting
Abstract
Developing efficient, durable, and earth‐abundant electrocatalysts for both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions is important for realizing large‐scale water splitting. The authors report that FeB 2 nanoparticles, prepared by a facile chemical reduction of Fe 2+ using LiBH 4 in an organic solvent, are a superb bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting. The FeB 2 electrode delivers a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at overpotentials of 61 mV for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and 296 mV for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline electrolyte with Tafel slopes of 87.5 and 52.4 mV dec−1, respectively. The electrode can sustain the HER at an overpotential of 100 mV for 24 h and OER for 1000 cyclic voltammetry cycles with negligible degradation. Density function theory calculations demonstrate that the boron‐rich surface possesses appropriate binding energy for chemisorption and desorption of hydrogen‐containing intermediates, thus favoring the HER process. The excellent OER activity of FeB 2 is ascribed to the formation of a FeOOH/FeB 2 heterojunction during water oxidation. An alkaline electrolyzer is constructed using two identical FeB 2‐NF electrodes as both anode and cathode, which can achieve a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at 1.57 V for overall water splitting with a faradaic efficiency of nearly 100%, rivalling the integrated state‐of‐the‐art Pt/C and RuO 2/C.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
