Operando Spectroscopic Identification of Active Sites in NiFe Prussian Blue Analogues as Electrocatalysts: Activation of Oxygen Atoms for Oxygen Evolution Reaction
Abstract
Developing highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts and understanding their activity are pivotal for electrochemical conversion technologies. Here, we report NiFe Prussian blue analogue (PBA) as a promising electrocatalyst for OER in alkaline conditions. This material has an impressively low overpotential of 258 mV that reaches a current density of 10 mA cm –2 . Post-mortem characterization showed that the as-prepared catalyst is entirely transformed into amorphous nickel hydroxide after the electrochemical treatment, and Ni(OH) 2 acts as the active species. Operando X-ray spectroscopic studies further found that this in situ generated Ni(OH) 2 displays an unique feature that allows deprotonation under applied potential creating NiOOH 2– x that contains Ni 4+ ions. The deprotonation reaction is reversible and potential-dependent, i.e., the amount of Ni 4+ increases with increasing applied potential. Theoretical calculations were used to show that the role of Ni 4+ is to trigger oxidized oxygen ions as electrophilic centers with the subsequent activation of anion redox reactions for OER.

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.
