An easy and support-free synthesis of bimetallic borates for boosting the oxygen evolution reaction

Résumé

The sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is one of the most limiting factors for the development of many “green” electrochemical devices. Expensive ruthenium and iridium oxide electrodes are often used as advanced electrocatalysts to overcome this limitation. However, these materials are rare in nature, which further limits the implementation of this kind of electrochemical device on a global scale. Compounds based on transition metals and boron have proven to be a promising alternative to commercial electrocatalysts due to their high catalytic properties and robust stability under working conditions. However, such compounds are often obtained through expensive synthetic routes that often involve the use of supports, which increases the cost of electrocatalysts. Here we present an easy and support-free synthesis of bimetallic borates based on the introduction of transition metals into cobalt borates. Depending on the metal, different morphologies, structural order, surface chemistry and, most importantly, electrocatalytic properties towards OER have been obtained. Among all the transition metals, nickel is the one that most improves the catalytic activity of cobalt borate for OER in an alkaline electrolyte. An overpotential of 230 mV, similar to that of commercial and state-of-the-art electrocatalysts, was obtained by using a support-free synthesis route for the preparation of this catalyst.
