Tuning of Trifunctional NiCu Bimetallic Nanoparticles Confined in a Porous Carbon Network with Surface Composition and Local Structural Distortions for the Electrocatalytic Oxygen Reduction, Oxygen and Hydrogen Evolution Reactions
Abstract
The rational design of multifunctional catalysts that use non-noble metals to facilitate the interconversion between H 2, O 2, and H 2 O is an intense area of investigation. Bimetallic nanosystems with highly tunable electronic, structural, and catalytic properties that depend on their composition, structure, and size have attracted considerable attention. Herein, we report the synthesis of bimetallic nickel–copper (NiCu) alloy nanoparticles confined in a sp 2 carbon framework that exhibits trifunctional catalytic properties toward hydrogen evolution (HER), oxygen reduction (ORR), and oxygen evolution (OER) reactions. The electrocatalytic functions of the NiCu nanoalloys were experimentally and theoretically correlated with the composition-dependent local structural distortion of the bimetallic lattice at the nanoparticle surfaces. Our study demonstrated a downshift of the d-band of the catalysts that adjusts the binding energies of the intermediate catalytic species. XPS analysis revealed that the binding energy for Ni 2p 3/2 band of the Ni 0.25 Cu 0.75 /C nanoparticles was shifted ∼3 times compared to other bimetallic systems, and this was correlated to the high electrocatalytic activity observed. Interestingly, the bimetallic Ni 0.25 Cu 0.75 /C catalyst surpassed the OER performance of RuO 2 benchmark catalyst exhibiting a small onset potential of 1.44 V vs RHE and an overpotential of 400 mV at 10 mA·cm –2 as well as the electrochemical long-term stability of commercial RuO 2 and Pt catalysts and kept at least 90% of the initial current applied after 20 000 s for the OER/ORR/HER reactions. This study reveals significant insight about the structure–function relationship for non-noble bimetallic nanostructures with multifunctional electrocatalytic properties.

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.
