Abstract:
Modulating the electronic structure of an electrocatalyst via interface engineering is a promising strategy to accelerate the overall electrocatalytic water splitting. In this work, a novel three-phase heterojunction Fe2P-CoP/CeO2 is constructed via interface engineering combined with a selective phosphorization process. Coupling CeO2 at the interface of Fe2P and CoP effectively promotes the redistribution of electrons at the three-phase interface, which optimizes the Gibbs free energy of H* adsorption energy and significantly reduces the water dissociation energies, thus boosting the electrocatalytic water splitting in alkaline media. As a result, the Fe2P-CoP/CeO2-20 exhibits excellent performances toward HER (eta(10)=45 mV, eta(50)= 100 mV) and OER (eta(10)=248 mV, eta(50)= 278 mV). Moreover, an overall water splitting electrolyzer constructed by Fe2P-CoP/CeO2-20 only requires a cell voltage of 1.52 V to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm(-2). Interestingly, the assembled electrolyzer can also be driven by a solar panel for overall water splitting. This work offers a feasible strategy for regulating the electronic structure of three-phase heterojunction interface to promote electrochemical water splitting.
