While nickel-iron layered double hydroxide （NiFe LDH） has been long recognized as a promising non- precious electrocatalyst for OER, its intrinsic activity needs further improvement. Herein, we design a highly-efficient oxygen evolution electrode based on defective NiFe LDH na- noarray. By combing the merits of the modulated electronic structure, more exposed active sites, and the conductive elec- trode, the defective NiFe LDH electrocatalysts show a low onset potential of 1.40 V （vs. RHE）. An overpotential of only 200 mV is required for 10 mA cm-2, which is 48 mV lower than that of pristine NiFe-LDH. Density functional theory plus U （DFT＋U） calculations are further employed for the origin of this OER activity enhancement. We find the introduction of oxygen vacancies leads to a lower valance state of Fe and the narrowed bandgap, which means the electrons tend to be ea- sily excited into the conduction band, resulting in the lowered reaction overpotential and enhanced OER performance.展开更多

An extrinsic impurity phase of the ZnO component is present in the zinc ferrite nanoparticles with a size of <10 nm, but this phase can be eliminated after the air annealing treatment. The atom ratio of Zn/Fe and concentration of oxygen vacancies decrease as the particle size of zinc ferrite increases, causing magnetic transition from superparamagnetism to ferromagnetism. The X-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectra reveal that the spin magnetic moments of Fe^(3+)are reduced, and the orbital magnetic moments are frozen with the increasing atom ratio of Zn/Fe. Therefore,saturation magnetization decreases. The saturation magnetizations of all the zinc ferrite nanoparticles decrease after the air annealing treatment, suggesting that oxygen vacancies considerably influence the magnetic properties. The air annealing treatment can minimize the number of oxygen defects,which trigger some of the Fe^(3+)–OV–Fe^(3+)ferrimagnetic couplings to transfer into the Fe^(3+)–O^(2-)–Fe^(3+)antiferromagnetic couplings. This work provides new insights regarding the magnetic performance of spinel ferrites by tuning the stoichiometric ratio and oxygen defects.展开更多
