Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a catalyst for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions. The catalyst is in the form of nickel sulfide (NiS 2 ) nanosheets. NiS 2 molecules are cross-linked and oriented two-dimensionally in the NiS 2 nanosheets. Also disclosed is a method for producing the catalyst.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing a catalyst for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions, comprising synthesizing a nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH) 2 ) nanosheet precursor in which Ni(OH) 2 molecules are cross-linked and oriented two-dimensionally, and reacting the Ni(OH) 2 nanosheet precursor with sulfur to synthesize nickel sulfide (NiS 2 ) nanosheets, wherein the synthesizing the Ni(OH) 2 nanosheet precursor comprises adding an ammonium solution to a solution of nickel acetate in deionized water to prepare a mixed solution. 2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising subjecting the mixed solution to hydrothermal synthesis. 3. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising cleaning with a cleaning liquid and drying after the hydrothermal synthesis. 4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the hydrothermal synthesis is performed at 160 to 210° C. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the ammonium solution is added in such an amount that the pH of the mixed solution is 9 to 11. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the NiS 2 nanosheets are synthesized by annealing the sulfur and reacting the resulting sulfur vapor with the Ni(OH) 2 nanosheet precursor. 7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the NiS 2 nanosheets are synthesized by reaction of the Ni(OH) 2 nanosheet precursor and the sulfur in a molar ratio of 1:5-25. 8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the annealing is performed at 350 to 550° C.
