Abstract
Recently, the design and synthesis of Co9S8 micro/nanostructures have attracted attention as electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices due to their low cost and environmental friendliness. Herein, Co9S8 nanorings were synthesized via a one-step solvothermal method with the incorporation of Fe ions, subsequently, properly selenized to boost their electrocatalytic performance. The morphology and structure of the series of cation and anion regulated Co9S8 nanorings were characterized, the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) properties were assessed. It is worth noting that the as-prepared catalysts, especially the innovative Fe and Se ions double doped Co9S8 nanorings, denoted as Se/Fe-Co9S8-0.14, exhibited good electrocatalytic OER performance with low overpotential (298 mV) and high durability under alkaline conditions. This work provides a new perspective to develop non-noble metal Co9S8-based OER electrocatalysts with a superior electrocatalytic performance.
