A review on electrocatalysis for alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by Fe-based catalysts
Source abstract
Abstract
Electrocatalytic water splitting provides an eco-friendly and efficient way to generate hydrogen energy. The anodic half reaction, oxygen evolution reaction (OER), with a four-electron process leads to sluggish kinetics and then high-energy consumption. Devising and synthesis of efficient and low-cost OER catalysts could overcome this issue. Fe-based non-noble electrocatalysts are observed to have suitable atomic and electronic structures; moreover, they are cheaper and more accessible than noble electrocatalysts. Various Fe-based electrocatalysts are showing a promising catalytic performance for OER. In this review, we concentrate on recent advancement and progress in utilizing these Fe-based catalysts with different supporting materials, including carbon-based materials, layered double hydroxides, Prussian blue analogous, metal–organic frameworks, and so forth. We highlight the OER mechanism and some typical OER electrochemical parameters of Fe-based electrocatalysts supported on various supporting materials from the experimental and theoretical viewpoint. With the gathered information provided in this review, some challenges and expectations for promoting the catalytic performance of Fe-based electrocatalysts are deeply discussed. Indeed, this review could furnish the design of more efficient non-noble metal electrocatalysts with promising directions.
