Abstract:

With the excessive consumption of energy and environmental pollution at home and abroad,the search for efficient,clean and sustainable energy sources is a top priority now.Less research has been carried out on the easily synthesised Na-jarosite in the oxygen precipitation reaction(OER).Therefore,four different molar ratios [n(Fe3+)/n(Cr3+)] of chromium-doped Na-jarosite[NaFe x Cr y (SO42(OH)6] catalytic materials were synthesized by hydrothermal method.The structure and properties were characterised using SEM,XRD,Raman and electrochemical methods.The results showed that Cr3+ was successfully doped into the lattice of Na-jarosite,and the size of the Na-jarosite particles was decreased with the increasing amount of Cr3+ doping.In an electrolyte of 1 mol/L KOH,the OER catalytic performance of the sample of n(Fe3+)/n(Cr3+) of 1∶1 was the most excellent.When the current density was 10 mA/cm2,the overpotential was 370 mV,the Tafel slope was 92.99 mV/dec and the electrochemical double layer capacitance(Cdl) was 10.94 mF/cm2.

Key words: jarosite, Cr-doped, non-precious metal catalysts, oxygen evolution reaction
