Abstract
Oxygen evolution reactions (OERs) are regarded as the rate-determining step of electrocatalytic overall water splitting, which endow OER electrocatalysts with the advantages of high activity, low cost, good conductivity, and excellent stability. Herein, a facile H2O2-assisted etching method is proposed for the fabrication of Mo-doped ultrathin Co9Se8@NiSe/NF-X heterojunctions with rich Se vacancies to boost electrocatalytic water oxidation. After step-by-step electronic structure modulation by Mo doping and Se vacancy engineering, the self-standing Mo-Co9Se8@NiSe/NF-60 heterojunctions deliver a current density of 50 mA cm-2 with an overpotential of 343 mV and a cell voltage of only 1.87 V at 50 mA cm-2 for overall water splitting in 1.0 M KOH. Our study opens up the possibility of realizing step-by-step electronic structure modulation of nonprecious OER electrocatalysts via heteroatom doping and vacancy engineering.
