Abstract:

A high catalytic activity and stable dual-functional hierarchical 2D/3D hybrid Co2P-CeO x integrated electrode(Co2P-CeO x /NF) for electrocatalytic urea oxidation assisted hydrogen production was prepared by multi-step electrodeposition and low-temperature phosphating on nickel foam(NF). Through the strong interfacial interaction and electron synergistic coupling between 3D CeO x nanoflower and 2D Co2P nanosheet, the as-prepared Co2P-CeO x /NF exhibited high conductivity, catalytic activity and stability, and enhanced the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) and urea oxidation reaction(UOR) performance. Assembling an electrolyzer with a straight substitution of UOR for oxygen evolution reaction(OER), it needed only 1.42 V to achieve a current density of 30 mA/cm2, which was 0.17 V less than that required for water splitting. After 10 h of electrocatalysis, the degradation efficiency of urea reached 76.4%, realizing the preparation of clean energy hydrogen and synchronous wastewater purification, opening up a new path for green energy development and environmental governance. Based on the comprehensive analysis above, the electron transfer at the heterogeneous interfaces between 2D Co2P nanosheet and 3D CeO x nanoflower would cause the rearrangement of surface/interfacial charges; the formed oxygen vacancies provided coordination unsaturated sites, exposed more active sites, optimized the adsorption energy of reactant molecules on the catalyst surface and promoted molecular activation, making it have higher catalytic activity. In this study, a 2D/3D hybrid Co2P-CeO x heterojunction was constructed to regulate the charge states at the surface/interface of the electrocatalyst and thus improve the catalyst activity, providing a new idea for the construction of other efficient electrocatalysts.
