Abstract:The in situ confinement of nickel (Ni)‐iron (Fe) nanoparticles (NPs) in a polymer‐derived micro‐/mesoporous silicon carboxynitride (Si‐C‐O‐N)‐based support is investigated to stimulate superior oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity in an alkaline media. Firstly, we consider a commercial polysilazane (PSZ) and Ni and Fe salts to be mixed together in N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) in order to prepare a series of Ni‐Fe:organosilicon coordination complexes. The latter are then heat‐treated at 500 °C in flowing arg… Show more
