| Abstract: |
| The design of highly efficient, durable, and earth-abundant catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction is crucial to a variety of important energy conversion and storage processes. Here, we use carbon nano tube (CNT, ∼5 nm) to form hybrids with the cobalt−chromium layered double hydroxide (CoCr-LDH) nanoplates and characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The CNT/ CoCr-LDH composise were then used as the efficient electrocatalyst materials for water oxidation in KOH 0.1M media. The resulting CNT/ CoCr-LDH composise exhibits high electrocatalytic activity (with an overpotential of ∼ 46 mV in 0.1 M KOH) and stability for oxygen evolution, which almost exceeds the values of all previously reported Co-Cr compounds and were comparable to those of the most active perovskite-based catalyst. In this condition, the CNT/ CoCr-LDH composise displayed improved electrocatalytic activity in comparison with CoCr-LDH due to present CNT at composite which enhanced the conductivity of the synthesized LDH. |
