摘要
As earth-abundant,low-cost,and environment-friendly materials,nickel and cobalt oxides have widely been explored as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction/evolution reaction(ORR/OER) in energy conversion and storage devices~([1,2]).However,the insufficient electrical conductivity and low reactive surface areas of the pure cobalt or nickel oxides result in sluggishoxygen reactive kinetics~([3]).Supporting Co and/or Ni oxides on grapheneis an effective way to improve catalytic activitiesdue to the high surface area and excellent electrical conductivity advantages of graphene,thereby increasing number of activesites and promoting the charge transfer efficiency in electrodes~([4]).In this work,we synthesized Co_3O_4 and NiCo_2O_4 supported on the surface of reduced graphene oxide(RGO) composite catalysts via a pyrolysis of graphene oxide-supported cobalt and/or nickel salts,respectively.The possible synergetic effect among the transition metal oxides and RGO makes them simultaneously highly active for the OER(Fig.1).
