摘要
Rational reconstruction of oxygen evolution reaction(OER)precatalysts and performance index of OER catalysts are crucial but still challenging for universal water electrolysis.Herein,we develop a double-cation etching strategy to tailor the electronic structure of NiMoO_(4),where the prepared NiMoO_(4) nanorods etched by H_(2)O_(2) reconstruct their surface with abundant cation deficiencies and lattice distortion.Calculation results reveal that the double cation deficiencies can make the upshift of d-band center for Ni atoms and the active sites with better oxygen adsorption capacity.As a result,the optimized sample(NMO-30M)possesses an overpotential of 260 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and excellent long-term durability of 162 h.Importantly,in situ Raman test reveals the rapid formation of high-oxidation-state transition metal hydroxide species,which can further help to improve the catalytic activity of NiMoO_(4) in OER.This work highlights the influence of surface remodification and shed some light on activating catalysts.
