The catalytic activity of Sr2PdO3, prepared through the sol-gel citrate-combustion method for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in a 0.1 M HClO4 solution, was investigated. The electrocatalytic activity of Sr2PdO3 toward OER was assessed via the anodic potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The glassy carbon modified Sr2PdO3 (GC/Sr2PdO3) electrode exhibited a higher electrocatalytic activity, by about 50 times, in comparison to the unmodified electrode. The order of the reaction was close to unity, which indicates that the adsorption of the hydroxyl groups is a fast step. The calculated activation energy was 21.6 kJ.mol−1, which can be considered a low value in evaluation with those of the reported OER electrocatalysts. The Sr2PdO3 perovskite portrayed a high catalyst stability without any probability of catalyst poisoning. These results encourage the use of Sr2PdO3 as a candidate electrocatalyst for water splitting reactions.

Water electrolysis is of vital importance to store renewable energy and the development of efficient, inexpensive and stable electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential, which requires much more understanding of the structural and the element classification. Here, a series of [Formula: see text]Fex[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] perovskites have been assessed as potential noble-metal-free OER electrocatalysts prepared by sol–gel method. Moreover, the functional role of Cu and Fe amount on the B-site of perovskites for OER electrocatalytic performance was evaluated. [Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text] materials exhibited the highest intrinsic activities in 0.1[Formula: see text]M KOH for OER with an onset potential of 1.56[Formula: see text]V, a Tafel slope of 76[Formula: see text]mV[Formula: see text][Formula: see text], slightly lower than that of benchmark perovskite-type electrocatalyst [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]C[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]O3 (BSCF). The above results demonstrate that Cu element in the B-site of perovskites had little effect on the OER performance, and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text] is a potential alternative electrocatalyst for OER application.

For efficient electrode development in an electrolysis system, Fe2O3, MnO, and heterojunction Fe2O3-MnO materials were synthesized via a simple sol-gel method. These particles were coated on a Ni-foam electrode, and the resulting material was used as an electrode to be used during an oxygen evolution reaction (OER). A 1000-cycle OER test in a KOH alkaline electrolyte indicated that the heterojunction Fe2O3-MnO/NF electrode exhibited the most stable and highest OER activity: it exhibited a low overvoltage (n) of 370 mV and a small Tafel slope of 66 mV/dec. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that the excellent redox performance contributed to the synergy of Mn and Fe, which enhanced the OER performance of the Fe2O3-MnO/NF electrode. Furthermore, the effective redox reaction of Mn and Fe indicated that the structure maintained stability even under 1000 repeated OER cycles.

AbstractThe electrochemical performances of Co3O4 nanopowders, obtained by the sol-gel method, were investigated and compared with those of commercial Co3O4 powders, for oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline solution. The active oxide powder was mixed with teflon and assembled on Ti substrate to form thin catalyst film. Cyclic voltammetry, polarization curves, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to assess the mechanism of oxygen evolution reaction, chemical structure, and morphology of the catalyst.
