摘要
Regulation of chemical composition and nanostructure, such as the introduction of dopant into two-dimensional nanomaterials, is a general and valid strategy for the efficient electrocatalyst design. In this work, Co_(4)S_(3)/Co_(9)S_(8) nanosheets, with an ultrathin layer structure, were successfully synthesized via an efficient solvothermal process combined with ultrasonic exfoliation. Different metal ions (M = Fe^(3+), Cr^(3+), Mn^(2+) and Ni^(2+)) were then doped by a simple cation exchange method and the effects of different dopants on the OER activities of Co_(4)S_(3)/Co_(9)S_(8) NS were further investigated in alkaline media. The corresponding results implied that M-doped Co_(4)S_(3)/Co_(9)S_(8) NS (M = Fe^(3+), Cr^(3+), Mn^(2+) and Ni^(2+)) exhibited different electrocatalytic properties. Evidenced by XPS spectra, the different OER activities were mainly aroused by the redistribution of charge at the interface due to an electronic interaction between the doped metal ions and Co_(4)S_(3)/Co_(9)S_(8) NS.
