abstract = {Copper, Cobalt-based (CuCo-based) catalysts are promising
candidates for the anodes of alkaline water electrolyzers
due to their high electrical conductivity, variable chemical
state, and the potential for cost-effective large-scale
production. However, the effective chemical composition and
structure of these catalysts are still being explored. In
this work, the focus is on the proposal CuCo-based catalysts
for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline water
electrolysis, with significant advantages for their use in
anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer systems.
CuCo-based catalysts with varying Cu:Co ratios were
synthesized using a co-precipitation method and heat
treatment, resulting in spinel type (oxides), CuCo-O, or
brucite type structures (hydroxides), CuCo-OH. The catalysts
were characterized using XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM and ICP-OES to
confirm their morphology and composition. The OER catalytic
performance of the catalysts was evaluated using rotating
disk electrode (RDE) measurements with a 3-electrode system
and 1 M KOH as the electrolyte.Our results show that CuCo-OH
provides lower overpotentials than CuCo-O at a current
density of 10 mA/cm2. Nevertheless, CuCo-O exhibits a more
consistent performance than CuCo-OH, indicating its superior
properties in terms of reproducibility and reliability.
Additionally, we propose a promising Cu:Co mol ratio of
CuCo-OH and CuCo-O. These findings highlight the importance
of the chemical composition and provides insight into the
structure design of OER catalysts for alkaline water
electrolysis. The results suggest a synergistic effect of Cu
and Co in the catalyst composition, which could be further
explored in future research.},
