FeCoNi Sulfides Derived From In situ Sulfurization of Precursor Oxides as Oxygen Evolution Reaction Catalyst

Abstract

It is highly promising to design and develop efficient and economical electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solution. In this work, we prepare FeCoNi sulfide composites (including FeS, Co3S4, and Ni3S4) derived from in situ sulfurization of precursor oxides on carbon cloth (CC), which are used to become an OER catalyst. Such catalyst shows excellent OER performance, low overpotential, small Tafel slope, and high electrochemical stability, and it is a promising electrocatalyst for OER in alkaline media.
