description ABSTRACTAn effective low-cost nano NiO-In2O3 electrode material for oxygen evolution (OER) is presented. Electrochemical studies uncovered electrocatalytic recital in Ascorbic Acid, Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), and ethanol. The cubic crystal structure of NiO-In2O3 was revealed by XRD. FT-IR, FE-SEM and HR-TEM studies exploit the structure and morphology of NiO-In2O3. Electrochemistry of NiO-In2O3 uncovered high current density (900mA/cm2) at substantially low overpotential (230mV), realizing its OER recital. On top, high mass activity and turnover frequency by NiO-In2O3 comprehend improved electrical and semiconductive properties in H2O2. The NiO-In2O3 durability beyond 90 hours was estimated by chronopotentiometry (CP). The Impedance analysis (EIS) revealed low charge transfer resistance and high exchange current density. Given electrocatalytic studies, we found a direct relationship between NiO-In2O3 nanocomposite and the degradation of H2O2 compared to its counterparts. Hence, this strategy can be an alternative and potential source of hydrogen and oxygen production at commercial scale.Highlights A facile and effectual low-cost NiO-In2O3 electrocatalyst is developed for efficient OER in aqueous hydrogen peroxide.NiO-In2O3 nanocomposite showed high current density (900mA/cm2) at low overpotential grasping its oxygen evolution reaction (OER) concert.NiO-In2O3 Impedance analysis revealed its low charge transfer resistance, high exchange current density (Jexc.), high mass Activity, and high turnover frequency (TOF) in hydrogen peroxide, advocating enhanced electrical and semiconductive properties.NiO-In2O3 showed long-term durability (>90 h) at varying current densities, fostering its application as a potential electrocatalyst for OER/HER reactions.
