| contents | <p>The electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) plays a fundamental role in several energy technologies, which performance and cost-effectiveness are in large part related to the used OER electrocatalyst. Herein, we detail the synthesis of cobalt-iron oxide nanosheets containing controlled amounts of well-anchored SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2–</sup> anionic groups (CoFe<sub><em>x</em></sub>O<sub><em>y</em></sub>-SO<sub>4</sub>). We use a cobalt-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) as the structural template and a cobalt source and Mohr’s salt ((NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Fe(SO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>·6H<sub>2</sub>O) as the source of iron and sulfate. When combining the ZIF-67 with ammonium iron sulfate, the protons produced by the ammonium ion hydrolysis (NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> + H<sub>2</sub>O = NH<sub>3</sub>·H<sub>2</sub>O + H<sup>+</sup>) etch the ZIF-67, dissociating its polyhedron structure, and form porous assemblies of two-dimensional nanostructures through a diffusion-controlled process. At the same time, iron ions partially replace cobalt within the structure, and SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2–</sup> ions are anchored on the material surface by exchange with organic ligands. As a result, ultrathin CoFe<sub><em>x</em></sub>O<sub><em>y</em></sub>-SO<sub>4</sub> nanosheets are obtained. The proposed synthetic procedure enables controlling the amount of Fe and SO<sub>4</sub> ions and analyzing the effect of each element on the electrocatalytic activity. The optimized CoFe<sub><em>x</em></sub>O<sub><em>y</em></sub>-SO<sub>4</sub> material displays outstanding OER activity with a 10 mA cm<sup>–2</sup> overpotential of 268 mV, a Tafel slope of 46.5 mV dec<sup>–1</sup>, and excellent stability during 62 h. This excellent performance is correlated to the material’s structural and chemical parameters. The assembled nanosheet structure is characterized by a large electrochemically active surface area, a high density of reaction sites, and fast electron transportation. Meanwhile, the introduction of iron increases the electrical conductivity of the catalysts and provides fast reaction sites with optimum bond energy and spin state for the adsorption of OER intermediates. The presence of sulfate ions at the catalyst surface modifies the electronic energy level of active sites, regulates the adsorption of intermediates to reduce the OER overpotential, and promotes the surface charge transfer, which accelerates the formation of oxygenated intermediates. Overall, the present work details the synthesis of a high-efficiency OER electrocatalyst and demonstrates the introduction of nonmetallic anionic groups as an excellent strategy to promote electrocatalytic activity in energy conversion technologies.</p> |
