Double doping of V and F on Co3O4 nanoneedles as efficient electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution

Rationally designing high-activity catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of primary importance due to its sluggish kinetic process in water splitting. Herein, we report a metallic (V) and nonmetallic (F) double doping in Co3O4 with nanoneedles structure, which is synthesized through facile oil bath and annealing. Electrochemical measurements show that the Co3O4 dopped with fluorine and vanadium (F0.2-V-Co3O4-350) only needs a low overpotential of 320?mV to afford a current density of 10?mA?cm?2, which is superior to commercial RuO2. The excellent electrocatalytic performance can be attributed to double doping of vanadium and fluorine which have strong electron absorption effect to optimize the density of electrons in Co3O4. Besides, nanoneedles structure can enlarge exposure of active sites. And its great durability is evaluated through 2000 cycles CV test. Furthermore, the optimal ratio of fluorine to vanadium and different annealing temperatures of the target catalyst are explored reasonably.
