Abstract:
Water splitting, a promising energy conversion technology, has gained attention for producing clean hydrogen fuel. The process involves two crucial reactions, namely the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), necessitating cost- effective catalysts. Non-precious-metal catalysts, especially those derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), show potential applications due to their high specific surface area (SSA) and efficient synergistic interactions. Thus, developing MOF-derived catalysts are crucial for advancing commercial water-splitting applications. This presentation will include the significance of electrochemical water splitting for hydrogen production and the synthesis of some innovative materials for this purpose. For instance, a novel core-shell structure is prepared, wherein MOFs serve as the core material with dispersed Ni and NiTe nanoparticles. Combining MOFs and NiTe in a core-shell configuration offers several synergistic and surface interface effects, leading to exceptional bifunctional activity for HER and the oxygen evolution reaction OER. A few other examples of the current work will be presented. By addressing the challenges of environmental pollution and energy sustainability, this research has the potential to be a valuable opportunity for the advancement of economically viable, efficient, and low over potential electro catalysts that facilitate the overall process of water splitting along with wastewater treatment.
