Low Overpotential in Vacancy-Rich Ultrathin CoSe2 Nanosheets for Water Oxidation
Abstract
According to Yang Shao-Horn's principle, CoSe2 is a promising candidate as an efficient, affordable, and sustainable alternative electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction, owing to its well-suited electronic configuration of Co ions. However, the catalytic efficiency of pure CoSe2 is still far below what is expected, because of its poor active site exposure yield. Herein, we successfully overcome the disadvantage of insufficient active sites in bulk CoSe2 by reducing its thickness into the atomic scale rather than any additional modification (such as doping or hybridizing with graphene or noble metals). The positron annihilation spectrometry and XAFS spectra provide clear evidence that a large number of VCo″ vacancies formed in the ultrathin nanosheets. The first-principles calculations reveal that these VCo″ vacancies can serve as active sites to efficiently catalyze the oxygen evolution reaction, manifesting an OER overpotential as low as 0.32 V at 10 mA cm(-2) in pH 13 medium, which is superior to the values for its bulk counterparts as well as those for the most reported Co-based electrocatalysts. Considering the outstanding performance of the simple, unmodified ultrathin CoSe2 nanosheets as the only catalyst, further improvement of the catalytic activity is expected when various strategies of doping or hybridizing are used. These results not only demonstrate the potential of a notable, affordable, and earth-abundant water oxidation electrocatalyst based on ultrat…

2D CoP nanosheets are more feasible for enhancing HER catalytic activity because 2D nanostructures expose catalytically active sites that promote interfacial charge transfer.
“Among them, 2D CoP nanosheets are more feasible to enhance HER catalytic activity, since the 2D nanostructures enable to expose catalytically active sites which promote interfacial charge transfer.”

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.
