Co <sub>3</sub> O <sub>4</sub> ‐RuO <sub>2</sub> /Ti <sub>3</sub> C <sub>2</sub> T <sub>x</sub> MXene Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Evolution Reaction in Acidic and Alkaline Media

MXene 2D materials and non-noble transition metal oxide nanoparticles have been proposed as novel pH-universal platforms for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), owing to the enhancement of active site exposures and conductivity. Herein, Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>-RuO<sub>2</sub> /Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>/carbon cloths (CRMC) were assembled in a facile way as an efficient OER platform through a hydrothermal process. The Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>-RuO<sub>2</sub>/Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> demonstrated prominent OER catalytic performance under acidic and alkaline conditions, which showed overpotential values of 195 and 247 mV at 10 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> with Tafel slopes of 93 and 97 mVdec<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The experimental results demonstrated that the electron transfer from Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>-RuO<sub>2</sub> to Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>/carbon cloth played a remarkable role in promoting OER catalytic activity. Further OER characterization indicated that the enhanced multi-electron reaction kinetics are attributed to Co and Ru acting as the primary active places for O<sub>2</sub> adsorption and activation, which facilitated the generation of *OOH intermediate.

Abstract

MXene 2D materials and non-noble transition metal oxide nanoparticles have been proposed as novel pH-universal platforms for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), owing to the enhancement of active site exposures and conductivity. Herein, Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>-RuO<sub>2</sub> /Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>/carbon cloths (CRMC) were assembled in a facile way as an efficient OER platform through a hydrothermal process. The Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>-RuO<sub>2</sub>/Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> demonstrated prominent OER catalytic performance under acidic and alkaline conditions, which showed overpotential values of 195 and 247 mV at 10 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> with Tafel slopes of 93 and 97 mVdec<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The experimental results demonstrated that the electron transfer from Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>-RuO<sub>2</sub> to Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>/carbon cloth played a remarkable role in promoting OER catalytic activity. Further OER characterization indicated that the enhanced multi-electron reaction kinetics are attributed to Co and Ru acting as the primary active places for O<sub>2</sub> adsorption and activation, which facilitated the generation of *OOH intermediate.
