Nickel-carbonate nanowire array: An efficient and durable electrocatalyst for water oxidation under nearly neutral conditions

Abstract It is highly attractive but still remains a great challenge to develop an efficient electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction under nearly neutral conditions. In this work, we report the transformation of $ Ni_{3} %$ S_{2} $ nanowire array on nickel foam into the amorphous nickel carbonate nanowire array on nickel foam ($ NiCO_{3} $/NF). The resulting $ NiCO_{3} $/NF shows high electrocatalytic activity towards water oxidation and affords current density of 50 mA∙$ cm^{‒2} $ at overpotential of 395 mV in 1.0 mol∙$ L^{‒1} $ $ KHCO_{3} $. Moreover, this $ NiCO_{3} $/NF is also durable with a long-term electrochemical durability of 60 h. This catalyst electrode achieves a high turnover frequency of 0.21 mol $ O_{2} $∙$ s^{‒1} $ at the overpotential of 500 mV..
