Abstract

AbstractExploring high‐efficiency, stable, and cost‐effective bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting is greatly desirable and challenging. Herein, a newly designed hybrid catalyst with Cr‐doped FeNi–P nanoparticles encapsulated into N‐doped carbon nanotubes (Cr‐doped FeNi–P/NCN) with unprecedented electrocatalytic activity is developed by a simple one‐step heating treatment. The as‐synthesized Cr‐doped FeNi–P/NCN with moderate Cr doping exhibits admirable oxygen evolution reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction activities with overpotentials of 240 and 190 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in 1 m KOH solution. When used in overall water splitting as a bifunctional catalyst, it needs only 1.50 V to give a current density of 10 mA cm−2, which is superior to its typically integrated Pt/C and RuO2 counterparts (1.54 V @ 10 mA cm−2). Density functional theory calculation confirms that Cr doping into a FeNi‐host can effectively alter the relative Gibbs adsorption energy and reduces the theoretical overpotential. Additionally, the synergetic effects between Cr‐doped FeNi–P nanoparticles and NCNs are regarded as significant contributors to accelerate charge transfer and promote electrocatalytic activity in hybrid catalysts.
