Microwave-Assisted Auto-Combustion Synthesis of Binary/Ternary Co _x Ni_1-x Ferrite for Electrochemical Hydrogen and Oxygen Evolution.

ABSTRACT: Enormous efforts have been dedicated to engineering low-cost and efficient electrocatalysts for both hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER, respectively). For this, the current contribution reports the successful synthesis of binary/ternary metal ferrites (Co _x Ni_1-x Ferrite; x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0) by a simple one-step microwave technique and subsequently discusses its chemical and electrochemical properties. The X-ray diffraction analysis substantiated the phase purity of the as-obtained catalysts with various compositions. Additionally, the morphology of the nanoparticles was identified via transmission electron microscopy. Further, the vibrating sample magnetometer justified the ferromagnetic character of
