Abstract
In this study, NiFe PBA-S was synthesized on nickel foam (NF) for electrocatalytic oxygen production. The experimental results show that the catalyst exhibits excellent OER performance at 10 mA cm−2 current density, overpotential of 201 m V and good durability within 24 h. Compared with other materials, NiFe PBA-S/NF has better catalytic performance. We believe that the enhanced catalytic activity is due to the use of Prussian blue derivatives (PBAs), NiFe PBA has excellent electron transport capacity. Larger specific surface area provides a large number of active sites. Sulfur doping enhances the stability of the material. The combination of the two comprehensively improves the catalytic activity and stability of the catalyst.
