An Amiable Design of Cobalt Single Atoms as the Active Sites for Oxygen Evolution Reaction in Desalinated Seawater
Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Green fuel from water splitting is hardcore for future generations, and the limited source of fresh water (<1%) is a bottleneck. Seawater cannot be used directly as a feedstock in current electrolyzer techniques. Until now single atom catalysts were reported by many synthetic strategies using notorious chemicals and harsh conditions. A cobalt single‐atom (CoSA) intruding cobalt oxide ultrasmall nanoparticle (Co<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> USNP)‐intercalated porous carbon (PC) (CoSA‐Co<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>@PC) electrocatalyst was synthesized from the waste orange peel as a single feedstock (solvent/template). The extended X‐ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) and theoretical fitting reveal a clear picture of the coordination environment of the CoSA sites (CoSA‐Co<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> and CoSA‐N<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> in PC). To impede the direct seawater corrosion and chlorine evolution the seawater has been desalinated (Dseawater) with minimal cost and the obtained PC is used as an adsorbent in this process. CoSA‐Co<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>@PC shows high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity in transitional metal impurity‐free (TMIF) 1 M KOH and alkaline Dseawater. CoSA‐Co<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>@PC exhibits mass activity that is 15 times higher than the commercial RuO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>. Theoretical interpretations suggest that the optimized CoSA sites in Co<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> USNPs reduce the energy barrier for alkaline water dissociation and simultaneously trigger an excellent OER followed by an adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM).</jats:p>
