Trace Amount of NiP2 Cooperative CoMoP Nanosheets Inducing Efficient Hydrogen Evolution.

ABSTRACT: As a very attractive clean energy, hydrogen has a high energy density and great potential to achieve zero pollution emission. Therefore, the preparation of hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts with excellent performance is an urgent task to ameliorate the global energy shortage and environmental pollution. Here, a trace amount of NiP2 coupled with CoMoP nanosheets (NCMP) was synthesized by the one-step hydrothermal method and low-temperature phosphidation. Studies have found that although the dosage of NiP2 is very low, its appearance has been efficient to improve the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of CoMoP, which may be induced by the synergistic effect of the two different components NiP2 and CoMoP. To find the superior catalyst, the effect of Ni content on the catalyst performance is also studied, and it is found that when the dosage of Ni is 0.02 mM, NCMP-2 (2 means 0.02 mM) displays the most outstanding overpotential (10 mA cm-2) of 46 mV.

Photoinduced semiconductor-metal transition in ultrathin troilite FeS nanosheets to trigger efficient hydrogen evolution.

Project description:The exploitation of the stable and earth-abundant electrocatalyst with high catalytic activity remains a significant challenge for hydrogen evolution reaction. Being different from complex nanostructuring, this work focuses on a simple and feasible way to improve hydrogen evolution reaction performance via manipulation of intrinsic physical properties of the material. Herein, we present an interesting semiconductor-metal transition in ultrathin troilite FeS nanosheets triggered by near infrared radiation at near room temperature for the first time. The photogenerated metal-phase FeS nanosheets demonstrate intrinsically high catalytic activity and fast carrier transfer for hydrogen evolution reaction, leading to an overpotential of 142?mV at 10?mA?cm-2 and a lower Tafel slope of 36.9?mV per decade. Our findings provide new inspirations for the steering of electron transfer and designing new-type catalysts.

MOF-Derived Ultrathin Cobalt Phosphide Nanosheets as Efficient Bifunctional Hydrogen Evolution Reaction and Oxygen Evolution Reaction Electrocatalysts.

Project description:The development of a highly efficient and stable bifunctional electrocatalyst for water splitting is still a challenging issue in obtaining clean and sustainable chemical fuels. Herein, a novel bifunctional catalyst consisting of 2D transition-metal phosphide nanosheets with abundant reactive sites templated by Co-centered metal-organic framework nanosheets, denoted as CoP-NS/C, has been developed through a facile one-step low-temperature phosphidation process. The as-prepared CoP-NS/C has large specific surface area and ultrathin nanosheets morphology providing rich catalytic active sites. It shows excellent electrocatalytic performances for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic and alkaline media, with the Tafel slopes of 59 and 64 mV/dec and a current density of 10 mA/cm² at the overpotentials of 140 and 292 mV, respectively, which are remarkably superior to those of CoP/C, CoP particles, and comparable to those of commercial noble-metal catalysts. In addition, the CoP-NS/C also shows good durability after a long-term test.

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.

Half-metallic carbon nitride nanosheets with micro grid mode resonance structure for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Project description:Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water has triggered an intensive search for metal-free semiconducting photocatalysts. However, traditional semiconducting materials suffer from limited hydrogen evolution efficiency owing to low intrinsic electron transfer, rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers, and lack of artificial microstructure. Herein, we report a metal-free half-metallic carbon nitride for highly efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The introduced half-metallic features not only effectively facilitate carrier transfer but also provide more active sites for hydrogen evolution reaction. The nanosheets incorporated into a micro grid mode resonance structure via in situ pyrolysis of ionic liquid, which show further enhanced photoelectronic coupling and entire solar energy exploitation, boosts the hydrogen evolution rate reach up to 1009??mol?g-1?h-1. Our findings propose a strategy for micro-structural regulations of half-metallic carbon nitride material, and meanwhile the fundamentals provide inspirations for the steering of electron transfer and solar energy absorption in electrocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, and photovoltaic cells.

Efficient All-2D Amorphous Cobalt Sulfide Nanosheets/Multilayered Molybdenum Disulfide Hybrid Heterojunction Catalyst for Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution.

Project description:Hydrogen energy is considered to be a critical environmentally friendly and widely sourced renewable energy source that can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels. At present, the preparation of hydrogen (H2) mainly depends on traditional fossil fuels. In order to achieve sustainable development of environmental protection, great attention has been paid to the preparation of H2 by electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and photoelectrochemistry. Here, it is reported for the first time that a novel active catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction, consisting of all-2D amorphous nanosheets/2D crystal layer heterojunction structure and without any noble metal (no precious metals are present in the preparation or measuring), is almost entirely fabricated by laser ablation in liquid (LAL) growth of amorphous cobalt sulfide on the surface of multilayered molybdenum disulfide. In acidic media, the amorphous cobalt sulfide nanosheets/multilayered molybdenum disulfide (a-CoS/MoS2) catalyst exhibits fast hydrogen evolution kinetics with onset potential of -147 mV and a Tafel slope of 126 mV per decade, which is much better than only the amorphous cobalt sulfide and molybdenum disulfide layer. The high hydrogen evolution activity of the amorphous cobalt sulfide nanosheets/multilayered molybdenum disulfide hybrid is likely due to the unique electrocatalytic synergistic effects between hydrogen evolution-active amorphous cobalt sulfide nanosheets and layered crystal molybdenum disulfide materials, as well as the much-increased catalytic sites. This work provides a new general route based on all-2D amorphous nanosheets/2D crystal structure for designing and preparing novel layered materials with effectively manipulated catalytic properties and active functionality surface.

Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution over Exfoliated Rh-Doped Titanate Nanosheets.

Project description:Various amounts of Rh-doped titanate nanosheets (Ti3NS:Rh(x), where x is doped amount) were prepared to develop a new nanostructured photocatalyst based on metal oxide compounds that can split water to produce H2 under sunlight. Ti3NS:Rh(x) was obtained by acid exchange, intercalation, and exfoliation of Rh-doped layered sodium titanate compound (Na2Ti3-x Rh x O7). A new energy gap was found in the diffuse reflection spectrum of the Ti3NS:Rh(x) colloidal suspension solution; this new energy gap corresponds to electrons in the 4d level of Rh3+ or Rh4+, which are doped in the Ti4+ site. A photocatalyst activity of Ti3NS:Rh(x) for H2 evolution in water with triethylamine (TEA) as an electron donor was investigated. The appropriate amount of Rh doping can improve the photocatalytic activity of Ti3NS for H2 evolution from water using triethylamine (TEA) as a sacrifice agent. The reason was related to the rich state of Rh3+ or Rh4+ doped in the Ti4+ site of Ti3NS. Doping Rh 1 mol % of Ti, Ti3NS:Rh(0.03) shows the H2 evolution rates up to 1040 nmol/h, which is about 25 times larger than that of nondoped Ti3NS under UV irradiation (>220 nm) and 302 nmol/h under near-UV irradiation (>340 nm). These results show that the development of new nanostructured photocatalyst based on Rh-doped titanate compounds that can produce H2 under near-UV irradiation present in sunlight was a success.

MoS<sub>2</sub> Nanosheets Supported on Hollow Carbon Spheres as Efficient Catalysts for Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Hybridizing structured carbon materials with MoS2 has been demonstrated to be an effective method to increase the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity and durability of MoS2. In this study, we report the growth of MoS2 nanosheets on the surface of uniform hollow carbon spheres (HCS) to form a hydrangea-like nanocomposite. The HCS were formed through carbonization of a phenol formaldehyde template, and the MoS2 nanosheets were grown on the HCS surfaces through a hydrothermal method. The nanocomposites have the advantages of significantly improved electrical conductivity, ease of varying the MoS2 loading, and minimizing stacking of MoS2 nanosheets, which are manifested by their remarkably improved HER performance. The well-tuned carbon-MoS2 composite shows a Tafel slope of 48.9 mV dec-1, an onset potential of -0.079 V (vs reversible hydrogen electrode), and an overpotential of 126 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm-2 after 1000 potential cycles.

One-step assembly of 2H-1T MoS<sub>2</sub>:Cu/reduced graphene oxide nanosheets for highly efficient hydrogen evolution.

Project description:The transition metal dichagenides and their metallic 1T structure are attracting contemporary attentions for applications in high-performance devices because their peculiar optical and electrical properties. The single and few layers 1T structure is generally obtained by mechanical or chemical exfoliation. This work presents facile one-step synthesis of 2H-1T MoS2:Cu/reduced graphene oxide nanosheets. The experiment results indicated that the MoS2 and MoS2:Cu prepared by simple chemical solution reaction possessed 2H-1T structures. The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) incorporation further induced the phase transition from 2H-MoS2 to 1T-MoS2 and morphology transition from granular/nanosheet to more nanosheet. The 2H-1T structure and 2H → 1T phase transition, together with the Cu doping and interface effect between the MoS2 and rGO, remarkably enhanced the conduction and photoconduction of the nanostructures. Thus, Cu doping and rGO incorporation obviously enhanced the catalytic activity and its stability, making the MoS2:Cu/rGO nanosheet a most active and stable catalyst for hydrogen evolution. This work clearly indicates that the 1T-MoS2 nanosheets with high catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution can be easily obtained by the facile low temperature chemical method and induction of rGO.

3D Binder-free MoSe2 Nanosheets/Carbon Cloth Electrodes for Efficient and Stable Hydrogen Evolution Prepared by Simple Electrophoresis Deposition Strategy.

Project description:We successfully developed a simple electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method to decorate the MoSe2 nanosheets on the carbon fiber surface of carbon cloth (MoSe2/CC). With this process, MoSe2 nanosheets can be uniformly and tightly deposited on this flexible conductor to form a 3D binder-free electrode for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The film thickness can also be controlled by the EPD time. Directly used as binder-free electrodes for hydrogen evolution reaction, the as-prepared 3D MoSe2/CC samples exhibit excellent catalytic activity in an acidic electrolyte (21 mA/cm(2) at an over-potential of 250 mV). Variation of MoSe2 nanosheets film thickness in the electrodes could affect the catalytic activity, and it was found that the MoSe2/CC sample prepared with 60 min EPD time shows the highest HER activity amongst these different thickness samples. Moreover, stability tests though long-term potential cycles (no degradation after 1000 continuous potential cycles) and extended electrolysis confirm the exceptional durability of the catalyst. This development offers us an attractive and active 3D electrode for electrochemical water splitting.

Vertically Aligned Ultrathin 1T-WS2 Nanosheets Enhanced the Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution.

Project description:Efficient evolution of hydrogen through electrocatalysis holds tremendous promise for clean energy. The catalytic efficiency for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) strongly depends on the number and activity of active sites. To this end, making vertically aligned, ultrathin, and along with rich metallic phase WS2 nanosheets is effective to maximally unearth the catalytic performance of WS2 nanosheets. Metallic 1T polymorph combined with vertically aligned ultrathin WS2 nanosheets on flat substrate is successfully prepared via one-step simple hydrothermal reaction. The nearly vertical orientation of WS2 nanosheets enables the active sites of surface edge and basal planes to be maximally exposed. Here, we report vertical 1T-WS2 nanosheets as efficient catalysts for hydrogen evolution with low overpotential of 118 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 43 mV dec-1. In addition, the prepared WS2 nanosheets exhibit extremely high stability in acidic solution as the HER catalytic activity and show no degradation after 5000 continuous potential cycles. Our results indicate that vertical 1T-WS2 nanosheets are attractive alternative to the precious platinum benchmark catalyst and rival MoS2 materials that have recently been heavily scrutinized for hydrogen evolution. Vertical 1T-WS2 for hydrogen evolution.
