Zinc Substitution‐Induced Subtle Lattice Distortion Mediates the Active Center of Cobalt Diselenide Electrocatalysts for Enhanced Oxygen Evolution

Abstract: Doping engineering has been an important approach to boost oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity, while investigation on the dopant‐induced modification of active sites and reaction kinetics remains incomplete. Herein, taking the cubic CoSe2 as an example, a universal strategy to synergistically achieve active sites and dynamic regulation is developed by incorporating low‐valence Zn. It is revealed that regulation by Zn can facilitate reconstruction of the surface to form active Co oxyhydroxides under OER c… Show more

“…The high-resolution Se 3d spectrum (Figure 3f) discloses three deconvoluted peaks at 53.6 eV (assigned to Se 3d 5/2 ), 54.6 and 55.6 eV (related to Se 3d 3/2 ), corresponding to Co-Se and Zn-Se bonds. [35,36] Notably, the characteristic peaks of Zn 2p shift toward higher binding energy direction and Se 3d shift to lower binding energy direction compared with those of ZnSe/CN (Figures S13 and S14, Supporting Information), suggesting an increased electron cloud density around the heterostructure and further demonstrating the successful construction of heterojunction between ZnSe and CoSe 2 . [40,41] Besides, the other peak at 59.3 eV discloses the presence of SeO x in the typical sample, which was caused by the slight surface oxidation during testing.…”

“…The lattice distortion and discontinuous lattice fringes marked by red frameworks in Figure 2h-k confirm the existence of lattice mismatch, demonstrating the strong electronic interaction between ZnSe and CoSe 2 with Se vacancies, which maybe produce more accessible active sites for Na + -storage, accelerate ion diffusion kinetic and improve the structural stability benefiting for the resulted electrochemical performance. [33][34][35][36] Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum shown in Figure 2l displays a significant EPR signal at g = 2.003, which was caused by the trapped electrons from Se vacancies, confirming the presence of Se vacancies in the sample. [34] The coexistence of ZnSe and CoSe 2 in the typical sample was further confirmed by selected area electron diffraction patterns (Figure S8, Supporting Information), revealing the polycrystalline nature of the typical sample.…”

“…Doping engineering is applied to boost the OER activity of CoSe 2 . By incorporating Zn into CoSe 2 , the DOS of Co decreases, leading to a weak binding strength of intermediates on Co. [207] Besides, the elongated or compressed CoSe 6 octahedra due to Jahn-Teller effect are generated in the lattice, which modulate d-orbital distribution and adsorption properties of CoSe 2 . Atomically coordinated PtCoSe moieties in defective CoSe 2 are synthesized through filling the plasma-created Se vacancies in CoSe 2 with single Pt atomic species.…”
