Spin Polarization in Chiral Nanostructured Pd Films for Enhanced Oxygen Evolution Performance
摘要 The slow kinetics and high overpotentials of the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)remains a major challenge for electrocatalytic energy conversion.Spin manipulation has emerged as a promising strategy for enhancing OER performance by modulating the adsorption of intermediates,thereby reducing the reaction energy barrier and accelerating OER kinetics.Herein,we demon-strate that chiral nanostructured Pd films(CNPFs)can enhance OER performance.CNPFs were electrodeposited on a nickel foam substrate using methionine as a symmetry-breaking agent.The optimal CNPFs catalyst achieves a current density of 50mA•cm-2 at 1.57 V versus RHE,representing a 180 mV reduction in overpotential compared to achiral Pd films.By varying the electrodeposition time,a series of CNPFs with tunable spin polarization were synthesized.The enhanced OER performance in CNPFs exhibits a positive correlation with spin polarization,primarily due to the spin-polarized electron transfer promoting the formation of triplet oxygen.This work elucidates the fundamental relationship between spin polarization and OER per-formance,highlighting the critical role of chiral structure in the design of efficient spin-polarized electrocatalysts.
