▎ 摘　　要

Efficient non-noble metal catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are particularly important in the practical applications of electrocatalytic water splitting (ECWS). Herein, based on a simple quasi chemical vapor deposition (Q-CVD) method, we fabricate a newly Ni3S2@3-D graphene free-standing electrode for efficient OER applications. The Ni3S2@3-D graphene integrates the advantageous features of 3-D graphene and Ni3S2 towards OER, such as more interfacial catalytic sites, pore-rich structure, N-doped structure and good electrical conductivity. Benefiting from the favorable features, the Ni3S2@(3)-D graphene (especially 900 degrees C sample) exhibits excellent OER performances in alkaline medium, which includes a low on-set potential (1.53 V), low overpotential of 305 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm(-2), and a smaller Tafel slope (50 mV dec(-1)). This catalyst also shows ultrahigh stability after chronoamperometry response at 10 mA cm(-2) for 48 h with 30% increase in the current density. The present work opens a new approach for the one-pot construction of hybrid materials between metal sulfide and graphene to increase the electrocatalytic activity of non-noble metal OER catalysts.
