Abstract

Coupling hydrazine electrooxidation with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) attracts ever-growing attention for energy-saving H₂ production. However, the performance of hydrazine-assisted HER unit is restricted by the bifunctional catalysts with un-fully activated sites. Herein, a surface local-reconstruction strategy is proposed to integrate amorphous Co(OH)₂ and P vacant CoP into the CoH-CoP_V@CFP catalyst. The inherent electron-deficient Co sites in Co(OH)₂ show strong N-Co interaction to accelerate the N₂H₄ dehydrogenation kinetics, while the as-formed P vacancies in CoP play a crucial role in moderating the H* adsorption energy, the excellent bifunctionality thus being obtained. Specifically, it achieves the low overpotentials of − 77 and − 61 mV at 10 mA cm⁻² for HER and HzOR in alkaline media, respectively. A lab-scale electrolyzer can deliver the industrial-grade current density of 500 mA cm⁻² under ultralow cell voltage of 0.23 V. This local-reconstruction strategy may pave new avenue to design efficient catalysts for hydrazine-assisted H₂ generation.

局部重构使磷化钴阵列具有氢进化和肼氧化双功能

将联氨电氧化与氢进化反应（HER）耦合在一起用于生产节能型 H2 越来越受到关注。然而，肼辅助氢进化反应单元的性能受到了双功能催化剂未完全活化位点的限制。本文提出了一种表面局部重构策略，将无定形 Co(OH)2 和 P 空位 CoP 整合到 CoH-CoPV@CFP 催化剂中。Co(OH)2 中固有的缺电子 Co 位点具有很强的 N-Co 相互作用，可加速 N2H4 脱氢动力学，而 CoP 中形成的 P 空位则在缓和 H* 吸附能方面发挥了关键作用，从而获得了优异的双功能性。具体来说，在 10 mA cm-2 的条件下，它在碱性介质中对 HER 和 HzOR 的过电位分别为 -77 mV 和 -61 mV。实验室规模的电解槽可以在 0.23 V 的超低电池电压下提供 500 mA cm-2 的工业级电流密度。这种局部重构策略可能为设计肼辅助 H2 生成的高效催化剂铺平了新的道路。
