Abstract Developing an efficient, green and low-cost non noble metal catalyst towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has been urgent for new generation of sustainable energy technologies. Herein, the Co/Ni metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived metal phosphides/ carbon matrix composites are successfully produced by the precipitation-carbonization-phosphorization processes. The obtained samples are characterized and analyzed for structural and morphological investigation. Electrochemical tests for OER are performed in alkaline medium. The positive effects of P, Ni doping in MOFs on the structure and properties of composites have been analyzed. Benefitting from the unique structure of three-dimensional flower-like polyhedron with rich structure and higher porosity, the NiCo-P/NC catalyst exhibits the lowest overpotential of 0.32 V compared with the commercial IrO2 (0.34V) at 10 mA cm−2, as well as outstanding stability and kinetic mechanism. Besides, the cost of the proposed novel material is calculated to be 4.337 US$/g, which is only 1.57 % of that of commercial IrO2 (276 US$/g). The results obtained from the MOF-derived low-cost and high-efficiency OER catalyst would provide a new perspective on application of electrochemical storage and batteries.

AbstractOxygen evolution reaction (OER) plays a determining role in electrochemical energy conversion devices, but challenges remain due to the lack of effective low-cost electrocatalysts and insufficient understanding about sluggish reaction kinetics. Distinguish from complex nano-structuring, this work focuses on the spin-related charge transfer and orbital interaction between catalysts and intermediates to accelerate catalytic reaction kinetics. Herein, we propose a simple magnetic-stimulation approach to rearrange spin electron occupation in noble-metal-free metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with a feature of thermal-differentiated superlattice, in which the localized magnetic heating in periodic spatial distribution makes the spin flip occur at particular active sites, demonstrating a spin-dependent reaction pathway. As a result, the spin-rearranged Co0.8Mn0.2 MOF displays mass activities of 3514.7 A gmetal−1 with an overpotential of ~0.27 V, which is 21.1 times that of pristine MOF. Our findings provide a new paradigm for designing spin electrocatalysis and steering reaction kinetics.
