高エントロピー型反ペロブスカイト電極(InN(NiCoFeCrV)₃)をニッケルフォーム上に直接形成し、AEM(水系アニオン交換膜)水電解の高効率化と長寿命化を実現した。ニッケル、コバルト、鉄、クロム、バナジウムの5元素からなる独自構造により、運転中に活性表面層が形成され、電荷移動と触媒性能が向上する。電極は100 mA cm⁻²で過電圧279 mVを示し、アルカリ電解液中で500時間超の安定性を確認。AEM電解槽では500 mA cm⁻²を1.662 Vで達成し、400時間超にわたり性能低下をほぼ抑制した。大規模なグリーン水素製造に向けた、低コストで耐久性の高い電極設計戦略として期待される。

Abstract

Anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysis is a promising strategy for green hydrogen production, which enables the use of non-precious-metal catalysts. However, the activity and stability of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts are far from meeting the requirements of AEM water electrolysis at high current density. Herein, we report a high-entropy antiperovskite InN(NiCoFeCrV)3 on nickel foam (denoted as InN(NiCoFeCrV)3@NF) as a structurally integrated electrode for boosting the OER process. The high-entropy-driven elemental synergy effectively promotes the reconstruction dynamics and creates more active sites. The leaching of Cr/V triggers surface reconstruction to generate oxyhydroxides as the real active phases. Subsequently, the Mott–Schottky heterojunctions are established at the interface of oxyhydroxides and InN(NiCoFeCrV)3, which creates a built-in electric field and offers a fast charge transfer path. Moreover, the high-entropy effect modulates the electronic structure and optimizes the OER process. The combined high conductivity and structural stability of InN(NiCoFeCrV)3 enable efficient and durable water oxidation at high current densities. The InN(NiCoFeCrV)3@NF electrode exhibits an ultralow overpotential of 279 mV at 100 mA cm–2. The integrated AEM electrolyzer with InN(NiCoFeCrV)3@NF shows an ultralow cell voltage of 1.70 V to achieve a high current density of 500 mA cm–2 with outstanding stability for over 400 h. This work not only reports a strategy to design highly active and stable OER electrocatalysts for AEM electrolyzers but also provides insights into the charge transfer mechanism of antiperovskites.
