Figure 2 OER Performance of CoSe2@DG Composite Catalysts
(A) OER LSV curves of different catalysts in O2-saturated 1 M KOH solution. (B) Overpotential required for j = 10 mA cm−2. (C) Current densities at an overpotential of 350 mV. (D) The corresponding Tafel plots. (E) Scan rate dependence of the current density difference for exfoliated CoSe2 nanosheets and composites. The linear slope is equivalent to twice the double-layer capacitance Cdl. (F) Continuous amperometric i-t measurement at a constant overpotential of 305 mV. The inset shows the polarization curves before and after i-t measurement. iScience 2018 7, DOI: ( /j.isci ) Copyright © 2018 The Authors Terms and Conditions

Figure 4 Understanding of OER Catalytic Mechanism on Catalysts (A–C) The side views of 3D charge density difference plot for the interfaces between a defective graphene sheet [DG-5 (A), DG-585 (B), DG-5775 (C)] and CoSe2 layer are calculated by DFT. Yellow and cyan isosurfaces represent charge accumulation and depletion in the 3D space with an isosurface value of e Å−3. Brown, green, and blue balls represent C, Se, and Co atoms, respectively. (D) The schematic of the probable OER mechanism of composites is presented based on the DFT calculation results. The pink spheres represent electrons. (E) The free energy diagram for oxygen evolution on pristine CoSe2, and composites. The ideal catalyst with a barrier of 1.23 eV for each step is also included for comparison (black thick line). iScience 2018 7, DOI: ( /j.isci ) Copyright © 2018 The Authors Terms and Conditions
