亚10纳米FeCoNiMnCr高熵合金纳米粒子的超快激光合成及其高效的析氧催化性能

摘要: 制备高效、稳定的析氧反应非贵金属催化剂是推动低成本可再生能源技术发展的关键难点。为此,我们发展了一种快速激光辐照法,在多壁碳纳米管纸上成功合成了亚10纳米FeCoNiMnCr高熵合金纳米颗粒催化剂。通过优化激光参数,实现了纳米颗粒的精确合成与物相调控。多项表征证实该材料具有原子级均匀混合的面心立方结构。模拟分析表明,激光法的超快热淬火效应抑制了颗粒长大,是形成超细纳米结构的关键。该催化剂在1 M KOH电解液中表现出优异的OER活性和稳定性(过电位255 mV @ 10 mA·cm−2,稳定运行100小时),其性能处于非贵金属催化剂的领先水平。本工作为高熵合金纳米催化剂的快速制备与性能优化提供了新思路。

 

Ultrafast laser synthesis of sub-10 nm FeCoNiMnCr high-entropy alloy nanoparticles for enhanced oxygen evolution catalysis

Abstract: The development of efficient and robust oxygen non-precious catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains a critical scientific hurdle in realizing cost-effective renewable energy conversion systems. Herein, we present a rapid laser irradiation synthesis strategy for the successful fabrication of sub-10 nm FeCoNiMnCr high-entropy alloy nanoparticles (HEA-NPs) on multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) paper, serving as highly efficient OER electrocatalysts. The synthesis of high-entropy alloy nanoparticles with precise control was accomplished through systematic optimization of laser processing parameters. Structural characterization via X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy collectively verified the formation of a phase-pure face-centered cubic crystal structure with homogeneous elemental mixing at the atomic scale. Furthermore, COMSOL Multiphysics simulations confirm that this rapid and discontinuous laser irradiation approach enables the precursor material to undergo ultrafast heating and quenching processes, effectively suppressing Ostwald ripening phenomena, which is conducive to the formation of ultrafine (sub-10 nm) high-entropy alloy nanoparticles. The synthesized HEA-NPs catalyst demonstrates exceptional oxygen evolution activity in alkaline electrolyte (1 M KOH), achieving a current density of 10 mA·cm−2 at a low overpotential of 255 mV while maintaining remarkable stability with negligible activity decay during prolonged operation (>100 h), representing state-of-the-art performance among non-precious metal catalysts. This study provides perspectives on the rapid preparation and performance regulation of HEA-NPs catalysts.
