Abstract

Developing cost-effective and highly efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great interest for overall water splitting but still remains a challenging issue. Herein, a self-template route is employed to fabricate a unique hybrid composite constructed by encapsulating cobalt nitride (Co 5.47 N) nanoparticles within three-dimensional (3D) N-doped porous carbon (Co 5.47 N NP@N-PC) polyhedra, which can be served as a highly active bifunctional electrocatalyst. To afford a current density of 10 mA cm –2, the as-fabricated Co 5.47 N NP@N-PC only requires overpotentials as low as 149 and 248 mV for HER and OER, respectively. Moreover, an electrolyzer with Co 5.47 N NP@N-PC electrodes as both the cathode and anode catalyst in alkaline solutions can drive a current density of 10 mA cm –2 at a cell voltage of only 1.62 V, superior to that of the Pt/IrO 2 couple. The excellent electrocatalytic activity of Co 5.47 N NP@N-PC can be mainly ascribed to the high inherent conductivity and rich nitrogen vacancies of the Co 5.47 N lattice, the electronic modulation of the N-doped carbon toward Co 5.47 N, and the hierarchically porous structure design.

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.
