Abstract

Iron-doped nickel oxyhydroxides, Nix(Fe1–x)OyHz, are among the most promising oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts in alkaline environments. Although iron (Fe) significantly enhances the catalytic activity, there is still no clear consensus on whether Fe directly participates in the reaction or merely acts as a promoter. To elucidate the Fe’s role, we performed operando X-ray spectroscopy studies supported by DFT on Nix(Fe1–x)OyHz electrocatalysts. We probed the reversible changes in the structure and electronic character of Nix(Fe1–x)OyHz as the electrode potential is cycled between the resting (here at 1.10 VRHE) and operational states (1.66 VRHE). DFT calculations and XAS simulations on a…
