Ultrathin dendritic IrTe nanotubes for an efficient oxygen evolution reaction in a wide pH range
Abstract
The shape control of Ir-based nanostructured materials, which are considered as the state-of-the-art anode electrocatalyst candidates toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), has been rarely reported. In this study, we reported an efficient synthesis of ultrathin dendritic IrTe nanotubes (NTs) via a galvanic replacement reaction using Te nanowires as the template at 190 °C for 1 h. The as-obtained IrTe NTs exhibited improved electrocatalytic activity and stability toward the OER with a much smaller overpotential of 290 mV and Tafel slope of 60.3 mV dec–1 to attain a current density of 10 mA cm–2 in acidic medium, compared with commercial IrO2 nanoparticles. Moreover, IrTe NTs also demonstrated enhanced electrocatalytic performances in neutral and alkaline media. The outstanding electrochemical properties of IrTe NTs in a wide pH range hold great promise in energy storage and conversion devices.
