Abstract
The design of efficient and stable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts based on noble-metal-free materials is crucial for energy conversion and storage. In this work, it was demonstrated how polyoxometalate (POM)-doped ZIF-67 can be converted into a stable oxygen evolution electrocatalyst by chemical etching, cation exchange, and thermal annealing steps. Characterization by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy indicate that POM-doped ZIF-67 derived carbon-supported metal oxides were synthesized. The resulting composite shows structural and compositional advantages which lead to low overpotential (306 mV at j=10 mA ⋅ cm-2 ) and long-term stability under harsh OER conditions (1.0 M aqueous KOH).
