Preparation of Ni3N Nanosheet Arrays/Carbon Cloth Anode and Its Catalytic Activity for Oxygen Evolution Reaction†

doi:10.7503/cjcu20180052

Abstract

Abstract:

Ni(OH)₂ nanosheet arrays on carbon cloth[Ni(OH)₂ NAs/CC] were synthesised via hydrothermal treatment. Then Ni₃N nanosheet arrays on carbon cloth(Ni₃N NAs/CC) were prepared through the nitridation of corresponding Ni(OH)₂ NAs/CC precursor with NH₃, thus polymer binder free three dimensional self-supporting electrode was established. The structure and morphology of the composite electrode materials were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM) analyses. The results indicate that the porosity, roughness and electrochemical effective area of Ni₃N NAs/CC electrode surface are increased. The activities for the oxygen evolution reaction(OER) of the Ni₃N NAs/CC were explained by recording linear scanning voltammograms and Tafel plots, the results indicate that the activity for OER is effectively increased and the overpotential for oxygen evolution could be lowered by approximately 280 mV. In the meantime, Ni₃N NAs/CC electrode exhibited good durability.
