    Abstract
  • Currently, endeavors to scale up the production of amorphous catalysts are still impeded by intricate synthesis conditions. Here, we have prepared a series of metal-based molybdate via one-step coprecipitation method. After ingredient optimization, amorphous Co2CeFe2-MoO4 was identified as exhibiting the highest intrinsic activity among its counterparts. Modulation of electron structure enables Co2CeFe2-MoO4 to balance the adsorption behavior towards reactive intermediates. Ultimately, the obtained Co2CeFe2-MoO4 molybdate demonstrated a captivating OER performance, showcasing a low overpotential of 230 mV at 10 mA cm-2. Moreover, the alkaline electrolyzer employing the Co2CeFe2-MoO4 anode exhibited a low cell voltage of 1.50 V for water splitting and underwent an acceptable attenuation of 4.99% after 165 h of continuous operation, demonstrating its favorable catalytic activity and durability. This work provides a facile and eco-friendly synthesis pathway for crafting cost-effective and durable earth-abundant OER electrocatalysts tailored for water splitting to produce clean hydrogen.
