Selenide-Based Electrocatalysts and Scaffolds for Water Oxidation Applications

Selenide-based electrocatalysts and scaffolds on carbon cloth are successfully fabricated and demonstrated for enhanced water oxidation applications. A maximum current density of 97.5 mA cm-2 at an overpotential of a mere 300 mV and a small Tafel slope of 77 mV dec-1 are achieved, suggesting the potential of these materials to serve as advanced oxygen evolution reaction catalysts.
