Nanoscale Double-Heterojunctional Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution.

ABSTRACT: The active sites and charge/mass transfer properties in electrocatalysts play vital roles in kinetics and thermodynamics of electrocatalysis, and impose direct impacts on electrocatalytic performance, which cannot be achieved by a simplex structure. As a prototype, the authors propose a double-heterojunctional nanostructure of NiS₂ /Ni₃ C@C containing NiS₂ /Ni₃ C and Ni₃ C/C heterojunctions as a general model to optimize the above issues and boost electrocatalytic performance. During the thermal reorganization, the in situ reaction between NiS₂ nanoparticles and carbon induces the formation of Ni₃ C between them and constructs tightly contacted two kinds of interfaces among the three components. The TEM and XPS re
