In this study, we report a W-doping-induced phase transition strategy to synthesize W-Ni3S2/Ni7S6 heterojunctions, which exhibit low overpotential and good stability, making them promising noble-metal-free OER catalysts.
Developing highly effective non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts is essential for real device applications but remains a challenge. Herein, we report a W-doping-induced phase transition strategy to synthesize W-Ni3S2/Ni7S6 heterojunctions. The W doping not only regulates the morphology of as-prepared catalysts to construct uniform nanorod arrays but also can induce the appearance of the Ni7S6 crystal phase to form W-Ni3S2/Ni7S6 heterojunctions which can enhance the intrinsic activity of the electrocatalyst. Consequently, W-Ni3S2/Ni7S6 shows a low overpotential (eta 1 = 202 mV and eta 2 = 285 mV in 1.0 M KOH for reaching a current density of 100 and 200 mA cm(-2), respectively), and good stability, and is a promising noble-metal-free OER catalyst.
