Alloy FeNi nanoparticles were synthesized and evaluated as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline electrolyte. Electron microscopy imaging indicates nanoparticles were formed with a spherical morphology, and initial elemental analysis suggests significant oxygen content in the bimetallic particles. A molar ratio range from 5: 1 to 1: 5 Fe: Ni in the assynthesized nanoparticles was tested. The effect of polyvinylpyrrolidone stabilizer on nanoparticle performance was also evaluated. Catalytic performance of the nanoparticles increased with decreasing Fe: Ni molar ratio and PVP: Ni molar ratio. Alloy nanoparticles synthesized with a Fe: Ni ratio of 1: 5 and a PVP: Ni ratio of 0.001 resulted in an overpotential of 295 mV at 10 mA/cm2, a Tafel slope of 40 mV/dec, and a mass-based activity of 3343 mA/mg at 1.6 V vs. RHE.
