abstract = {The deployment of water electrolysis as a major contributor
to global hydrogen production requires the elimination of
catalysts based on scarce and expensive precious metals, and
amongst the most promising alternatives are first-row
transition metal phosphides. This study presents the
synthesis, characterisation, electrochemical testing and
performance rationalisation of cobalt phosphide modified
with aluminium as an improved catalyst for alkaline oxygen
evolution. The electrodes were prepared by gas phase
phosphorisation of Al-sputtered Co foam, and characterised
by SEM, EDX, XRD, XPS, HAADF-STEM and Raman spectroscopy. Al
modification enhances the oxygen evolution performance of
the anodes, with a current density of 200 mA cm−2 reached
at an overpotential of 360 mV, representing a 50 mV
improvement compared to the Al-free sample. Double layer
capacitance measurements indicate that the performance
enhancement results from an approximately four-fold increase
in relative electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) in
the Al-modified sample. In situ Raman spectroscopy
rationalises this ECSA increase on the grounds of an
Al-induced preference for a spinel phase Co/Al oxide on the
catalyst surface upon exposure to electrolyte solution, the
compact crystal structure of which causes shrinkage and
surface cracking. This contrasts with previous observations
on Al-doped nickel phosphides, where an increase in surface
area was attributed to Al dissolution. These results present
a route for achieving high current density oxygen evolution
without the need to alter the catalyst active species, as
well as demonstrate the importance of in situ techniques for
rationalising performance improvements resulting from subtle
differences in surface chemistry.},
