Abstract
- The carbon-based composite materials prepared through green synthetic approach are attracting greater interest in electrochemical applications due to their sustainable nature. Herein, we developed Fe 2 O 3 and Fe 2 O 3 @CNT composite materials via a green mechanochemical one-pot method. The as prepared composite materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDS), field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. Incorporating Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles on CNT surface tunes its electronic structure as well increases active sites and thus enhance the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. As a result, the fabricated Fe 2 O 3 @CNT is a highly effective and balanced electrocatalyst that delivers superior current density (j = 10 mA cm−2) at low overpotential (η = 270 mV) for OER compared with pristine Fe 2 O 3 (η = 290 mV) in 1 M KOH. Further, Fe 2 O 3 @CNT electrocatalyst shows high long-term durability in 1 M KOH for 100 h, fulfilling all the advantageous viable standards for OER. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
