Reconstructing bimetallic carbide Mo6Ni6C for carbon interconnected MoNi alloys to boost oxygen evolution electrocatalysis†
Abstract
Mo6Ni6C is first utilized as a precatalyst for the OER process, reconstructing in the bulk to form small MoNi alloy clusters interconnected with atomically dispersed carbon, delivering 10 mA cm−2 at an overpotential of 190 mV for the OER and at 1.47 V for overall water splitting (mass loading of 9.8 mg cm−2).
