离子液体增强质子转移并促进中性析氧反应
Ionic Liquid Enhanced Proton Transfer for Neutral Oxygen Evolution Reaction
摘要
Abstract
The development of highly active catalyst in pH-neutral media for oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is critical in the field of renewable energy storage and conversion.Nevertheless,the slow kinetics of proton-coupled electron transfer(PCET)hinders the overall OER efficiency.Herein,we report an ionic liquid(IL)modified CoSn(OH)6 nanocubes(denoted as CoS-n(OH)6-IL),which could be prepared through a facile strategy.The modified IL would not change the structural character-istics of CoSn(OH)6,but could effectively regulate the local proton activity near the active sites.The CoSn(OH)6-IL exhibited higher intrinsic OER performances than the pristine CoSn(OH)6 in neutral media.For example,the current density of CoS-n(OH)6-IL at 1.8 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode(RHE)was about 4 times higher than that of CoSn(OH)6.According to the pH-dependent kinetic investigations,operando electrochemical impedance spectroscopic,chemical probe tests,and deuterium kinetic isotope effects,the interfacial layer of IL could be utilized as a proton transfer mediator to promote the proton transfer,which enhances the surface coverage of OER intermediates and reduces the activation barrier.Consequent-ly,the sluggish OER kinetics would be efficiently accelerated.This study provides a facile and effective strategy to facilitate the PCET processes and is beneficial to guide the rational design of OER electrocatalysts.关键词
