High-Performance Hydrogen Evolution from MoS2(1-x) P(x) Solid Solution.

ABSTRACT: A MoS2(1-x) P(x) solid solution (x = 0 to 1) is formed by thermally annealing mixtures of MoS2 and red phosphorus. The effective and stable electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution in acidic solution holds promise for replacing scarce and expensive platinum that is used in present catalyst systems. The high performance originates from the increased surface area and roughness of the solid solution.

Charge-Transfer Induced High Efficient Hydrogen Evolution of MoS2/graphene Cocatalyst.

Project description:The MoS2 and reduced graphite oxide (rGO) composite has attracted intensive attention due to its favorable performance as hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst, but still lacking is the theoretical understanding from a dynamic perspective regarding to the influence of electron transfer, as well as the connection between conductivity and the promoted HER performance. Based on the first-principles calculations, we here clearly reveal how an excess of negative charge density affects the variation of Gibbs free energy (ΔG) and the corresponding HER behavior. It is demonstrated that the electron plays a crucial role in the HER routine. To verify the theoretical analyses, the MoS2 and reduced graphite oxide (rGO) composite with well defined 3-dimensional configuration was synthesized via a facile one-step approach for the first time. The experimental data show that the HER performance have a direct link to the conductivity. These findings pave the way for a further developing of 2-dimension based composites for HER applications.

MXene Analogue: A 2D Nitridene Solid Solution for High-Rate Hydrogen Production.

Project description:Electrocatalysts for high-rate hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are crucial to clean fuel production. Nitrogen-rich 2D transition metal nitride, designated "nitridene", has shown promising HER performance because of its unique physical/chemical properties. However, its synthesis is hindered by the sluggish growth kinetics. Here for the first time using a catalytic molten-salt method, we facilely synthesized a V-Mo bimetallic nitridene solid solution, V0.2 Mo0.8 N1.2 , with tunable electrocatalytic property. The molten-salt synthesis reduces the growth barrier of V0.2 Mo0.8 N1.2 and facilitates V dissolution via a monomer assembly, as confirmed by synchrotron spectroscopy and ex situ electron microscopy. Furthermore, by merging computational simulations, we confirm that the V doping leads to an optimized electronic structure for fast protons coupling to produce hydrogen. These findings offer a quantitative engineering strategy for developing analogues of MXenes for clean energy conversions.

Ammonia intercalated flower-like MoS2 nanosheet film as electrocatalyst for high efficient and stable hydrogen evolution.

Project description:Ammonia intercalated flower-like MoS2 electrocatalyst film assembled by vertical orientated ultrathin nanosheet on graphite sheethas been successfully synthesized using one-step hydrothermal method. In this strategy, ammonia can effectively insert into the parallel plane of the MoS2 nanosheets, leading to the expansion of lattice and phase transfer from 2H to 1T, generating more active unsaturated sulfur atoms. The flower-like ammoniated MoS2 electrocatalysts with more active sites and large surface area exhibited excellent HER activity with a small Tafel slope and low onset overpotential, resulting a great enhancement in hydrogen evolution. The high efficient activity and recyclable utilization, as well as large-scale, indicate that it is a very promising electrocatalyst to replace Pt in industry application.

Reactant friendly hydrogen evolution interface based on di-anionic MoS2 surface.

Project description:Engineering the reaction interface to preferentially attract reactants to inner Helmholtz plane is highly desirable for kinetic advancement of most electro-catalysis processes, including hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This, however, has rarely been achieved due to the inherent complexity for precise surface manipulation down to molecule level. Here, we build a MoS2 di-anionic surface with controlled molecular substitution of S sites by -OH. We confirm the -OH group endows the interface with reactant dragging functionality, through forming strong non-covalent hydrogen bonding to the reactants (hydronium ions or water). The well-conditioned surface, in conjunction with activated sulfur atoms (by heteroatom metal doping) as active sites, giving rise to up-to-date the lowest over potential and highest intrinsic activity among all the MoS2 based catalysts. The di-anion surface created in this study, with atomic mixing of active sites and reactant dragging functionalities, represents a effective di-functional interface for boosted kinetic performance.

Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution over Hydrothermally Synthesized Re-Doped MoS2 Flower-Like Microspheres.

Project description:In this research, we report a simple hydrothermal synthesis to prepare rhenium (Re)- doped MoS2 flower-like microspheres and the tuning of their structural, electronic, and electrocatalytic properties by modulating the insertion of Re. The obtained compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Structural, morphological, and chemical analyses confirmed the synthesis of poorly crystalline Re-doped MoS2 flower-like microspheres composed of few stacked layers. They exhibit enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance with low overpotential of 210 mV at current density of 10 mA/cm2, with a small Tafel slope of 78 mV/dec. The enhanced catalytic HER performance can be ascribed to activation of MoS2 basal planes and by reduction in charge transfer resistance during HER upon doping.

CoCrFeNi High-Entropy Alloy as an Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution Catalyst in an Acidic Solution.

Project description:High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have intriguing material properties, but their potential as catalysts has not been widely explored. Based on a concise theoretical model, we predict that the surface of a quaternary HEA of base metals, CoCrFeNi, should go from being nearly fully oxidized except for pure Ni sites when exposed to O2 to being partially oxidized in an acidic solution under cathodic bias, and that such a partially oxidized surface should be more active for the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic solutions than all the component metals. These predictions are confirmed by electrochemical and surface science experiments: the Ni in the HEA is found to be most resistant to oxidation, and when deployed in 0.5 M H2SO4, the HEA exhibits an overpotential of only 60 mV relative to Pt for the HER at a current density of 1 mA/cm2.

Defect-Rich Heterogeneous MoS2/rGO/NiS Nanocomposite for Efficient pH-Universal Hydrogen Evolution.

Project description:Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been universally demonstrated to be an effective electrocatalytic catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, the low conductivity, few active sites and poor stability of MoS2-based electrocatalysts hinder its hydrogen evolution performance in a wide pH range. The introduction of other metal phases and carbon materials can create rich interfaces and defects to enhance the activity and stability of the catalyst. Herein, a new defect-rich heterogeneous ternary nanocomposite consisted of MoS2, NiS and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) are synthesized using ultrathin αNi(OH)2 nanowires as the nickel source. The MoS2/rGO/NiS-5 of optimal formulation in 0.5 M H2SO4, 1.0 M KOH and 1.0 M PBS only requires 152, 169 and 209 mV of overpotential to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 (denoted as η10), respectively. The excellent HER performance of the MoS2/rGO/NiS-5 electrocatalyst can be ascribed to the synergistic effect of abundant heterogeneous interfaces in MoS2/rGO/NiS, expanded interlayer spacings, and the addition of high conductivity graphene oxide. The method reported here can provide a new idea for catalyst with Ni-Mo heterojunction, pH-universal and inexpensive hydrogen evolution reaction electrocatalyst.

Chemically activating MoS2 via spontaneous atomic palladium interfacial doping towards efficient hydrogen evolution.

Project description:Lacking strategies to simultaneously address the intrinsic activity, site density, electrical transport, and stability problems of chalcogels is restricting their application in catalytic hydrogen production. Herein, we resolve these challenges concurrently through chemically activating the molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) surface basal plane by doping with a low content of atomic palladium using a spontaneous interfacial redox technique. Palladium substitution occurs at the molybdenum site, simultaneously introducing sulfur vacancy and converting the 2H into the stabilized 1T structure. Theoretical calculations demonstrate the sulfur atoms next to the palladium sites exhibit low hydrogen adsorption energy at -0.02 eV. The final MoS2 doped with only 1wt% of palladium demonstrates exchange current density of 805 μA cm-2 and 78 mV overpotential at 10 mA cm-2, accompanied by a good stability. The combined advantages of our surface activating technique open the possibility of manipulating the catalytic performance of MoS2 to rival platinum.

Facile Synthesis of Molybdenum Diselenide Layers for High-Performance Hydrogen Evolution Electrocatalysts.

Project description:A cost-effective solution-based synthesis route to grow MoSe2 thin films with vertically aligned atomic layers, thereby maximally exposing the edge sites on the film surface as well as enhancing charge transport to the electrode, is demonstrated for hydrogen evolution reaction. The surface morphologies of thin films are investigated by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analyses confirm the formation of the vertically aligned layered structure of MoSe2 in those films, with supporting evidences obtained by Raman. Additionally, their optical and compositional properties are investigated by photoluminescence and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and their electrical properties are evaluated using bottom-gate field-effect transistors. The resultant pristine MoSe2 thin film exhibited low overpotential of 88 mV (at 10 mA·cm-2) and a noticeably high exchange current density of 0.845 mA·cm-2 with excellent stability, which is superior to most of other reported MoS2 or MoSe2-based catalysts, even without any other strategies such as doping, phase transformation, and integration with other materials.

Novel Exfoliation of High-Quality 2H-MoS2 Nanoflakes for Solution-Processed Photodetector.

Project description:Highly dispersive molybdenum disulfide nanoflakes (MoS2 NFs), without any phase transition during the exfoliation process, are desirable for full utilization of their semiconductor properties in practical applications. Here, we demonstrate an innovate approach for fabricating MoS2 NFs by using hydrazine-assisted ball milling via the synergetic effect of chemical intercalation and mechanical exfoliation. The NFs obtained have a lateral size of 600-800 nm, a thickness less than 3 nm, and high crystallinity in the 2H semiconducting phase. They form a stable dispersion in various solvents, which will be helpful for many applications, due to the oxygen functional group. To investigate production of a two-dimensional (2D) photodetector, 2D semiconducting MoS2, MoS2-p-Si vertical devices were fabricated, and their optical properties were characterized. The photodiode exhibited consistent responses with excellent photo-switching characteristics with wavelengths of 850, 530, and 400 nm.
