Nanotubular Iridium-Cobalt Mixed Oxide Crystalline Architectures Inherited from Cobalt Oxide for Highly Efficient Oxygen Evolution Reaction Catalysis.
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces 2017 October 12
Here, we report the unique transformation of one-dimensional tubular mixed oxide nanocomposites of iridium (Ir) and cobalt (Co) denoted as Irx Co1-x Oy , where x is the relative Ir atomic content to the overall metal content. The formation of a variety of Irx Co1-x Oy (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) crystalline tubular nanocomposites was readily achieved by electrospinning and subsequent calcination process. Structural characterization clearly confirmed that Irx Co1-x Oy polycrystalline nanocomposites had a tubular morphology consisting of Ir/IrO2 and Co3 O4 , where Ir, Co, and O were homogeneously distributed throughout the entire nanostructures. The facile formation of Irx Co1-x Oy nanotubes was mainly ascribed to the inclination of Co3 O4 to form the nanotubes during the calcination process, which could play a critical role in providing a template of tubular structure and facilitating the formation of IrO2 by being incorporated with Ir precursors. Furthermore, the electroactivity of obtained Irx Co1-x Oy nanotubes was characterized for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with rotating disk electrode voltammetry in 1 M NaOH aqueous solution. Among diverse Irx Co1-x Oy , Ir0.46 Co0.54 Oy nanotubes showed the best OER activity (the least-positive onset potential, greatest current density, and low Tafel slope), which was even better than that of commercial Ir/C. The Ir0.46 Co0.54 Oy nanotubes also exhibited a high stability in alkaline electrolyte. Expensive Ir mixed with cheap Co at an optimum ratio showed a greater OER catalytic activity than pure Ir oxide, one of the most efficient OER catalysts.
