Abstract
current density. The bimetallic MOF was further utilized for seawater splitting. The current-time studies indicated good stability of the catalyst for over 12 h. XPS analysis performed after catalysis indicated that bimetallic CoFeTPA11 produced catalytically active cobalt oxyhydroxide and iron oxyhydroxide during the catalysis. Thus, the present work suggests the opportunity to fabricate cost-effective bifunctional electrocatalysts by integrating additional metal ions in the MOFs.
