Tensile Strain-Mediated Spinel Ferrites Enable Superior Oxygen Evolution Activity
Abstract
Exploring efficient strategies to overcome the performance constraints of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is vital for electrocatalytic applications such as H 2 O splitting, CO 2 reduction, N 2 reduction, etc . Herein, tunable, wide-range strain engineering of spinel oxides, such as NiFe 2 O 4, is proposed to enhance the OER activity. The lattice strain is regulated by interfacial thermal mismatch during the bonding process between thermally expanding NiFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles and the nonexpanding carbon fiber substrate. The tensile lattice strain causes energy bands to flatten near the Fermi level, lowering e g orbital occupancy, effectively increasing the number of electronic states near the Fermi level, and reducing the pseudoenergy gap. Consequently, the energy barrier of the rate-determining step for strained NiFe 2 O 4 is reduced, achieving a low overpotential of 180 mV at 10 mA/cm 2 . A total water decomposition voltage range of 1.52–1.56 V at 10 mA/cm 2 (without iR correction) was achieved in an asymmetric alkaline electrolytic cell with strained NiFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles, and its robust stability was verified with a voltage retention of approximately 99.4% after 100 h. Furthermore, the current work demonstrates the universality of tuning OER performance with other spinel ferrite systems, including cobalt, manganese, and zinc ferrites.

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.
