A recent study in Advanced Functional Materials focused on enhancing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. The research investigated the use of cobalt-iron layered double hydroxides (CoFe-LDH) supported on vacancy-engineered vanadium carbide (V2CTx) MXenes to improve anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzers for hydrogen production. MXenes, particularly V2CTx, were chosen for their high conductivity and electron mobility. The study synthesized CoFe-LDH composites using different types of MXenes and varying compositions to understand the effect on catalyst behavior. The composites supported on vacancy-engineered V1.8CTx MXenes outperformed those with pristine V2CTx supports, showing improved OER performance. MXene supports influenced the crystal structure and morphology of the CoFe-LDH particles, enhancing catalytic activity. The catalysts demonstrated enhanced charge transfer, reaction mechanisms, and stability, with the best performing composite achieving low overpotential and high current densities. The study highlights the potential of MXene-supported CoFe-LDH materials as efficient and affordable anode catalysts for alkaline water electrolyzers, paving the way for sustainable hydrogen production. Overall, the research offers a novel approach to developing scalable materials for clean energy technologies, emphasizing improved OER activity and stability in electrolysis.
