N,P-Codoped Carbon Layer Coupled with MoP Nanoparticles as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

ABSTRACT: Efficient electrocatalyst plays a significant role on the development of hydrogen energy. In this work, an N,P-codoped carbon layer coupled with MoP nanoparticles (MoP/NPCs) was prepared through a facile high-temperature pyrolysis treatment. The obtained MoP/NPCs presented efficient activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), with low onset potential of 90 mV, and a small Tafel slope (71 mV dec^-1), as well as extraordinary stability in acidic electrolyte. This work provides a new facile strategy for the design and synthesis of sustainable and effective molybdenum-based electrocatalysts as alternatives to non-Pt catalysts for HER.

Carbon Nanotube Supported Molybdenum Carbide as Robust Electrocatalyst for Efficient Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Molybdenum carbide is considered to be one of the most competitive catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) regarding its high catalytic activity and superior corrosion resistance. But the low electrical conductivity and poor interfacial contact with the current collector greatly inhibit its practical application capability. Herein, carbon nanotube (CNT) supported molybdenum carbide was assembled via electrostatic adsorption combined with complex bonding. The N-doped molybdenum carbide nanocrystals were uniformly anchored on the surfaces of amino CNTs, which depressed the agglomeration of nanoparticles while strengthening the migration of electrons. The optimized catalyst (250-800-2h) showed exceptional electrocatalytic performance towards HER under both acidic and alkaline conditions. Especially in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution, the 250-800-2h catalyst exhibited a low overpotential of 136 mV at a current density of 10 mA/cm2 (η10) with the Tafel slope of 49.9 mV dec-1, and the overpotential only increased 8 mV after 20,000 cycles of stability test. The active corrosive experiment revealed that more exposure to high-activity γ-Mo2N promoted the specific mass activity of Mo, thus, maintaining the catalytic durability of the catalyst.

Bimetallic ZIF-Derived Co/N-Codoped Porous Carbon Supported Ruthenium Catalysts for Highly Efficient Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Exploring the economical, powerful, and durable electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is highly required for practical application. Herein, nanoclusters-decorated ruthenium, cobalt nanoparticles, and nitrogen codoped porous carbon (Ru-pCo@NC) are prepared with bimetallic zeolite imidazole frameworks (ZnCo-ZIF) as the precursor. Thus, the prepared Ru-pCo@NC catalyst with a low Ru loading of 3.13 wt% exhibits impressive HER catalytic behavior in 1 M KOH, with an overpotential of only 30 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm-2, Tafel slope as low as 32.1 mV dec-1, and superior stability for long-time running with a commercial 20 wt% Pt/C. The excellent electrocatalytic properties are primarily by virtue of the highly specific surface area and porosity of carbon support, uniformly dispersed Ru active species, and rapid reaction kinetics of the interaction between Ru and O.

Ni3S2 in Situ Grown on Ni Foam Coupled with Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Alkaline Solution.

Project description:Searching for a highly efficient electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline solution is still challenging. In this work, we report a HER electrocatalyst composed of Ni foam, Ni3S2, and nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NF@Ni3S2@NCNTs). The good lattice matching between Ni and Ni3S2, interstitial doping of C and N atoms, and synergistic effect of NCNTs make NF@Ni3S2@NCNTs highly efficient HER electrocatalysts in alkaline solution. NF@Ni3S2@NCNTs exhibit an overpotential of 93.89 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, a Tafel slope of 54 mV dec-1, and superior stability for HER in 1 M KOH solution. Our findings will promote the reasonable design and synthesis of an efficient electrocatalyst for HER in alkaline electrolytes.

Constructing FeS and ZnS Heterojunction on N,S-Codoped Carbon as Robust Electrocatalyst toward Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:Highly active and cost-efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are significant for developing renewable energy conversion devices. Herein, a nanocomposite Fe/ZnS-SNC electrocatalyst with an FeS and ZnS heterojunction on N,S-codoped carbon has been fabricated via a facile one-step sulfonating of the pre-designed Zn- and Fe-organic frameworks. Benefitting from the electron transfer from FeS to adjacent ZnS at the heterointerfaces, the optimized Fe/ZnS-SNC900 catalyst exhibits excellent ORR performances, featuring the half-wave potentials of 0.94 V and 0.81 V in alkaline and acidic media, respectively, which is competitive with the commercial 20 wt.% Pt/C (0.87 and 0.76 V). The flexible Zn-air battery equipping Fe/ZnS-SNC900 affords a higher open-circuit voltage (1.45 V) and power density of 30.2 mW cm-2. Fuel cells assembled with Fe/ZnS-SNC900 as cathodic catalysts deliver a higher power output of 388.3 and 242.8 mW cm-2 in H2-O2 and -air conditions. This work proposes advanced heterostructured ORR electrocatalysts that effectively promote renewable energy conversions.

Facile Synthesis of Cobalt Oxide as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is receiving a lot of attention because it produces clean energy hydrogen. Catalyst is the key to the promotion and application of HER. However, the precious metal catalysts with good catalytic performance are expensive, and the preparation process of non-precious metal catalysts is extremely complicated. The simple preparation process is the most important problem to be solved in HER catalyst development. We synthetized cobalt oxide (CoOx) catalyst for HER through a simple hydrothermal process. The CoOx catalyst shows excellent HER catalytic activity. Characterization results reveal that there are a great deal of surface hydroxyl groups or oxygen vacancy on the surface of CoOx catalyst. In alkaline media the CoOx catalyst shows an over-potential of 112 mV at 20 mA cm-2 and a small Tafel slope of 94 mV dec-1. This paper provides a simple and easy method for HER catalyst preparation.

Nitrogen-Doped Porous Carbon Nanosheets Strongly Coupled with Mo2C Nanoparticles for Efficient Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution.

Project description:Exploring earth-abundant and noble metal-free catalysts for water electrolysis is pivotal in renewable hydrogen production. Herein, a highly active electrocatalyst of nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosheets coupled with Mo2C nanoparticles (Mo2C/NPC) was synthesized by a novel method with high BET surface area of 1380 m2 g-1 using KOH to activate carbon composite materials. The KOH plays a key role in etching out MoS2 to produce Mo precursor; simultaneously, it corrodes carbon to form porous structure and produce reducing gas such as H2 and CO. The resulting Mo2C/NPC hybrid demonstrated superior HER activity in acid solution, with the overpotential of 166 mV at current density of 10 mA cm-2, onset overpotential of 93 mV, Tafel slope of 68 mV dec-1, and remarkable long-term cycling stability. The present strategy may provide a promising strategy to fabricate other metal carbide/carbon hybrids for energy conversion and storage.

Efficient and durable hydrogen evolution electrocatalyst based on nonmetallic nitrogen doped hexagonal carbon.

Project description:The feasibility of renewable energy technology, hydrogen production by water electrolysis, depends on the design of efficient and durable electrocatalyst composed of earth-abundant elements. Herein, a highly active and stable nonmetallic electrocatalyst, nitrogen doped hexagonal carbon (NHC), was developed for hydrogen production. It exhibited high activity for hydrogen evolution with a low overpotential of only 65 mV, an apparent exchange current density of 5.7 × 10(-2) mA cm(-2) and a high hydrogen production rate of 20.8 mL cm(-2) h(-1) at -0.35 V. The superior hydrogen evolution activity of NHC stemmed from the intrinsic electrocatalytic property of hexagonal nanodiamond, the rapid charge transfer and abundance of electrocatalytic sites after nitrogen doping. Moreover, NHC was stable in a corrosive acidic solution during electrolysis under high current density.

Atomically Dispersed Platinum Modulated by Sulfide as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Catalytically active metals atomically dispersed on supports presents the ultimate atom utilization efficiency and cost-effective pathway for electrocatalyst design. Optimizing the coordination nature of metal atoms represents the advanced strategy for enhancing the catalytic activity and the selectivity of single-atom catalysts (SACs). Here, we designed a transition-metal based sulfide-Ni3S2 with abundant exposed Ni vacancies created by the interaction between chloride ions and the functional groups on the surface of Ni3S2 for the anchoring of atomically dispersed Pt (PtSA-Ni3S2). The theoretical calculation reveals that unique Pt-Ni3S2 support interaction increases the d orbital electron occupation at the Fermi level and leads to a shift-down of the d -band center, which energetically enhances H2O adsorption and provides the optimum H binding sites. Introducing Pt into Ni position in Ni3S2 system can efficiently enhance electronic field distribution and construct a metallic-state feature on the Pt sites by the orbital hybridization between S-3p and Pt-5d for improved reaction kinetics. Finally, the fabricated PtSA-Ni3S2 SAC is supported by Ag nanowires network to construct a seamless conductive three-dimensional (3D) nanostructure (PtSA-Ni3S2@Ag NWs), and the developed catalyst shows an extremely great mass activity of 7.6 A mg-1 with 27-time higher than the commercial Pt/C HER catalyst.

Nanocatalysis MoS<sub>2</sub>/rGO: An Efficient Electrocatalyst for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:In this study, a systematic investigation of MoS2 nanostructure growth on a SiO2 substrate was conducted using a two-stage process. Initially, a thin layer of Mo was grown through sputtering, followed by a sulfurization process employing the CVD technique. This two-stage process enables the control of diverse nanostructure formations of both MoS2 and MoO3 on SiO2 substrates, as well as the formation of bulk-like grain structures. Subsequently, the addition of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was examined, resulting in MoS2/rGO(n), where graphene is uniformly deposited on the surface, exposing a higher number of active sites at the edges and consequently enhancing electroactivity in the HER. The influence of the synthesis time on the treated MoS2 and also MoS2/rGO(n) samples is evident in their excellent electrocatalytic performance with a low overpotential.

CZTS Decorated on Graphene Oxide as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for High-Performance Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) was synthesized by the sonochemical method using 2-methoxyethanol as the solvent and subsequently decorated onto graphene oxide (GO synthesized by the modified Hummers' method) using two different approaches such as in situ growth and ex situ synthesis followed by deposition. Preliminary characterizations indicated that the synthesized CZTS belongs to the kesterite structure with a sphere-like morphology. The in situ-synthesized CZTS/GO (I-CZTS/GO) composite is used as an efficient electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) which revealed superior electrocatalytic activity with a reduced overpotential (39.3 mV at 2 mA cm-2), Tafel slope (70 mV dec-1), a larger exchange current density of 908 mA cm-2, and charge transfer resistance (5 Ω), significantly different from pure CZTS. Besides, the I-CZTS/GO composite exhibits highest HER performance with high current stability of which shows no noticeable degradation after i-t amperometry. The catalytic activity demonstrates that the I-CZTS/GO composite could be a promising electrocatalyst in hydrogen production from their cooperative interactions.
