Oxygen-containing amorphous cobalt sulfide porous nanocubes with Co−S dangling bands, a distorted CoS4.6O0.6 octahedral structure, and incorporated oxygen in the CoSx have been prepared. The material shows outstanding electrocatalytic activity for water oxidation in alkaline and neutral electrolytes. vac=vacancy; Co blue, S yellow, O red, H white.
Abstract
A novel OER electrocatalyst, namely oxygen-incorporated amorphous cobalt sulfide porous nanocubes (A-CoS4.6O0.6 PNCs), show advantages over the benchmark RuO2 catalyst in alkaline/neutral medium. Experiments combining with calculation demonstrate that the desirable O* adsorption energy, associated with the distorted CoS4.6O0.6 octahedron structure and the oxygen doping, contribute synergistically to the outstanding electrocatalytic activity.
