Self-healing of active site in Co(OH)2/MXene electrocatalysts for hydrazine oxidation

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2024.03.038

Abstract

Abstract: The development of efficient hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) catalysts is important for the construction of remarkable energy storage and conversion systems. However, after a period of electrochemical reaction, the active site of the catalyst will be irreversibly reduced or inactivated, and how to recover the active site is a major challenge. Here, we report 2D Co(OH)₂/Ti₃C₂(OH)_x MXene composites with rapid reconstruction and self-healing behaviors as efficient and stable electrocatalysts during HzOR process. Both experimental and theoretical results indicate that the introduction of Ti₃C₂(OH)_x MXene can effectively reduce the dehydrogenation barrier of Co(OH)₂, from 0.584 eV to 0.481 eV to form the real catalytic active center Co(OH)O. Subsequently, Co(OH)O/Ti₃C₂(OH)_x MXene composites with metal-like conductivity not only present spontaneous adsorption capacity of N₂H₄, but also can modulated rate-determining step of dehydrogenation of *N₂H₄ to *N₂H₃ (0.54 eV) compared with Co(OH)O. Finally, the electrophilic oxygen of Co(OH)O/Ti₃C₂(OH)_x can spontaneously obtain electrons and protons from N₂H₄, achieving the oxidation of N₂H₄ while reducing Co(OH)O to Co(OH)₂, thus completing the self-healing of the efficient catalyst.
