Fe-Incorporated Nickel-Based Bimetallic Metal-Organic Frameworks for Enhanced Electrochemical Oxygen Evolution.

ABSTRACT: Developing cost-effective and high-efficiency catalysts for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial for energy conversions. Herein, a series of bimetallic NiFe metal-organic frameworks (NiFe-BDC) were prepared by a simple solvothermal method for alkaline OER. The synergistic effect between Ni and Fe as well as the large specific surface area lead to a high exposure of Ni active sites during the OER. The optimized NiFe-BDC-0.5 exhibits superior OER performances with a small overpotential of 256 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm^-2 and a low Tafel slope of 45.4 mV dec^-1, which outperforms commercial RuO₂ and most of the reported MOF-based catalysts reported in the literature. This work provides a new insight into the design of bimetallic
