Abstract
Developing efficient and economical catalysts is essential for water splitting. The application of MOF catalysts in water splitting is limited by poor conductivity; however, the introduction of conductive TMS could enhance their activity. Herein, novel composite Fe9S10/Fe-MOF/NF-2 was constructed by introducing dendritic Fe9S10 onto the surface of a 2D ultrathin Fe-MOF. Composite catalysts elaborately utilize the structural and chemical advantages of MOF and TMS while improving the deficiencies of monomers through the combination. Owing to the optimal structure, the hybrid catalyst Fe9S10/Fe-MOF/NF-2 displayed better catalytic performance than bare Fe-MOFs and Fe9S10, with low overpotentials of 202 and 216 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline solution and simulated seawater, respectively. This work provides an innovative approach to modify MOFs as electrocatalysts for OER.
