Abstract
The development of inexpensive, efficient, and environmentally friendly catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great significant for green energy utilization. Herein, binary metal oxides (MxCo3-xO4, M = Zn, Ni, and Cu) with yolk-shell polyhedron (YSP) structure were fabricated by facile pyrolysis of bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (MCo-ZIFs). Benefiting from the synergistic effects of metal ions and the unique yolk-shell structure, MxCo3-xO4 YSP displays good OER catalytic activity in alkaline media. Impressively, ZnxCo3-xO4 YSP shows a comparable overpotential of 337 mV at 10 mA cm-2 to commercial RuO2 and exhibits superior long-term durability. The high activity and good stability reveals its promising application.
