Abstract
With the increasing utilization of clean energy, the development and utilization of hydrogen energy has become a research topic of great significance. Cobalt selenide (CS) is an electrocatalyst with great potential for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this paper, a nitrogen-doped biomass carbon (1NC@3)-based composite cobalt selenide (CS) heterojunction was prepared via a solvothermal method using kelp as the raw material. Structural, morphological, and electrochemical analyses were conducted to evaluate its performance. The electrochemical test results demonstrate that the overpotential of the CS/1NC@3 catalyst in the OER process was 292 mV, with a Tafel slope of 98.71 mV·dec−1 at a current density of 10 mA·cm−2. The electrochemical performance of the CS/1NC@3 catalyst was further confirmed by theoretical calculations, which revealed that the presence of the biomass carbon substrate enhanced the charge transport speed of the OER process and promoted the OER process. This study provides a promising strategy for the development of efficient electrocatalysts for OER applications.
