Abstract

The development of hydrogen production via environment-friendly and efficient electrochemical water splitting technology leans heavily on the exploitation of highly active and durable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts. Herein, nanocoral-like cerium-activated cobalt selenide (Ce-CoSe2) nanocomposites to enhance the OER catalytic activity have been successfully prepared by one-pot hydrothermal route via simply altering the cerium content. Owing to the ingenious introduction of cerium, as-prepared Ce-CoSe2 electrode displays remarkable OER performance in comparison with CoSe2. The nanocoral-like Ce-CoSe2 catalyst prepared under optimal condition just needs low overpotential of 276 and 398 mV at 10 and 50 mA cm−2, respectively. Additionally, it attains the current density of 255 mA cm−2 at the potential of 2.0 V vs. RHE, and shows long-term stability during OER. This work offers a simple and feasible pathway for the design and construct of metal dichalcogenides for green and renewable hydrogen production by electrocatalytic water splitting.
