Abstract
Water electrolysis is an important technology related to the energy conservation, is a promising technology. Currently, one of the key efforts is to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of water electrolysis, in particular, the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Nobel-metal free OER catalyst or alternative urea oxidation reaction (UOR) is thus favored. Due to the advantages of enhance charge transfer and desirable charge redistribution, we have investigated nobel-metal free transition metal oxide/sulfide heterostructure UOR electrocatalyst. Co-Ni based metal heterostructure is synthesized using a simple two-step hydrothermal method. The resulting samples are examined using X-ray diffractometer, Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the Inductively coupled plasma will used as the material analysis. Electrochemical performance is evaluated using linear sweep voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical active surface area. Moreover, the electrocatalyst is also evaluated as OER catalysts. The relation between the material characteristics and the electrochemical performance is discussed.
