Au@Co(2)P core/shell nanoparticles as a nano-electrocatalyst for enhancing the oxygen evolution reaction

Core/shell nanoparticles (NPs) of Au@Co(2)P, each comprising a Au core with a Co(2)P shell, were prepared, and shown to efficiently catalyze the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In particular, Au@Co(2)P has a small overpotential of 321 mV at 10 mA cm(−2) in 1 M KOH aqueous solution at room temperatu...

description Core/shell nanoparticles (NPs) of Au@Co(2)P, each comprising a Au core with a Co(2)P shell, were prepared, and shown to efficiently catalyze the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In particular, Au@Co(2)P has a small overpotential of 321 mV at 10 mA cm(−2) in 1 M KOH aqueous solution at room temperature, which is about 95 mV less than pure Co(2)P. More importantly, the Tafel slope of Au@Co(2)P, at 57 mV dec(−1), is 44 mV dec(−1) lower than that of Co(2)P. Hence, Au@Co(2)P outperforms Co(2)P drastically in practical production when a high current density is required.
