▎ 摘  要

Current interest in investigating non-precious group (NPG) metals for catalyzing the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has revealed that doping of Ni hydroxides with Fe results in the dramatic enhancement of catalytic activity. Herein, a facile pathway to construct tetrataenite, an NiFe alloy of extraterrestrial origin and to address the limited electrical conductivity of metal oxides/hydroxides by directly constructing them atop graphene sheets is described. In this approach, a one-pot, bottom-up assembly of hybrid ultramicroporous materials (HUMs) was carried out, in the presence of suspended graphene (G), to homogeneously deposit the HUMs on unmodified graphene sheets, affording HUMs@G. Single metal (SIFSIX-3-Ni@G) and mixed metal (SIFSIX-3-NiFe@G) HUMs can be readily synthesized from their respective metal salts to afford a well-designed catalyst for the OER. The pyrolysis of SIFSIX-3-NiFe@G resulted in the deposition of the nanoalloy tetrataenite on G, demonstrating an exceptionally low OER onset potential of 1.44 V vs. RHE and reduced overpotential at 10 mA cm(-2) (eta(10) = 266 mV). The synergy between the composition of the active catalyst and the electronically conductive support was attained by designing a reaction system encoding the self-assembly of a crystalline pre-catalyst on G sheets.
