Herein, we fabricated Fe-doped Ni3S2 nanoneedles directly grown on Ni foam through two-step processes including hydrothermal reaction and sulfidation with thioacetamide. The as-prepared catalysts were used as electrocatalysts for overall water splitting. Among the prepared samples, the Fe-doped Ni3S2 on Ni foam displayed the best electrochemical performance as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for both OER and HER with a low overpotential of 222 and 281 mV for a current density of 50 mA cm−2 for the OER and HER, respectively. Moreover, when the as-obtained Fe-doped Ni3S2 is applied to a bifunctional electrocatalyst in an electrolyzer, a low cell voltage of 1.59 V is obtained to drive a current density of 10 mA cm−2 with outstanding long-term durability. The outstanding electrochemical performance of Fe-doped Ni3S2 is mainly ascribed to the synergistic effect of the binary metal system, leading to improving the conductivity, active surface area, and intrinsic catalytic activity. |
