Fabrication of Fe2O3 nanostructure on CNT for oxygen evolution reaction
Source abstract
Abstract
The carbon-based composite materials prepared through green synthetic approach are attracting greater interest in electrochemical applications due to their sustainable nature. Herein, we developed Fe2O3 and Fe2O3@CNT composite materials via a green mechanochemical one-pot method. The as prepared composite materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDS), field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. Incorporating Fe2O3 nanoparticles on CNT surface tunes its electronic structure as well increases active sites and thus enhance the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. As a result, the fabricated Fe2O3@CNT is a highly effective and balanced electrocatalyst that delivers superior current density (j = 10 mA cm(-2)) at low overpotential (eta = 270 mV) for OER compared with pristine Fe2O3 (eta = 290 mV) in 1 M KOH. Further, Fe2O3@CNT electrocatalyst shows high long-term durability in 1 M KOH for 100 h, fulfilling all the advantageous viable standards for OER.
