Field-Effect Enhancement of Non-Faradaic Processes at Interfaces Governs Electrocatalytic Water Splitting Activity.

ABSTRACT: Recognizing the essential factor governing interfacial hydrogen/oxygen evolution reactions (HER/OER) is central to electrocatalytic water-splitting. Traditional strategies aiming at enhancing electrocatalytic activities have mainly focused on manipulating active site valencies or coordination environments. Herein, the role of interfacial adsorption is probed and modulated by the topological construct of the electrocatalyst, a frequently underestimated non-Faradaic mechanism in the dynamics of electrocatalysis. The engineered Co_0.75Fe_0.25P nanorods, anchored with FeO_x clusters, manifest a marked amplification of the surface electric field, thus delivering a substantially improved bifunctional electrocatalytic performance. In alkaline water splitting anion ex
