Abstract:
Background: Single metal atom oxide (SMAO) catalysts hold great promise for fine-tuning interfacial geometries and electronic structures, significantly enhancing the efficiency of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Their unique properties have garnered substantial interest in advancing electrocatalytic technologies. Methods: This study presents the synthesis of a novel ternary single metal atom oxides (SMAO) catalyst on a hybrid support, incorporating single tungsten (W), nickel (Ni), and manganese (Mn) atoms into Co3O4, CeO2, and reduced graphene oxides (rGO) (R-CoCe-WNM-3) via controlled sonication synthesis. The hybrid support leverages the complementary benefits of Co3O4, CeO2 and rGO, creating a synergistic platform for enhanced OER electrocatalysis. Significant findings: X-ray diffraction (XRD) and phase fraction analysis confirm excellent compatibility among constituents. High-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM-HAADF) demonstrate successful integration of ternary metal centers onto the metal oxides support at the single-atom level. R-CoCe-WNM-3 electrocatalyst exhibits unique alkaline OER performance due to the interfacial interaction, mixed oxidization states of the metals, and higher numbers of SMAO particles. The optimum R-CoCe-WNM-3 electrocatalyst shows lower overpotential (279 and 351 mV) than other catalysts at current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm−2. In an effort to enhance OER performance, this study offers a simple synthetic technique for building single metal atom oxide interfaces. © 2024 Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers
