ABSTRACT

In this study, we propose a method to enhance the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalytic performance by synthesizing a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and cobalt-nickel layered double hydroxide (CoNi LDH) composite. WhileCoNi LDH exhibits high electrochemical activity, its low conductivity limits its catalytic efficiency. To overcome this limitation, rGO, which possesses high conductivity, was incorporated to improve electron transport and enhance thestructural stability of the catalyst. The rGO/CoNi LDH composite was synthesized via a hydrothermal method, and its structural and electrochemical properties were analyzed with varying rGO content. FE-SEM and EDS analyses confirmed the uniform dispersion of rGO within the composite structure of CoNi LDH. Electrochemical measurements, including LSV, Tafel analysis, and EIS, demonstrated that the optimal rGO content (10 mL) provided the lowest overpotential and highest electrical conductivity. These findings suggest a new approach for improving OER catalyst performance and contribute to the development of highly efficient electrochemical catalysts.
