Abstract

Developing efficient and economical electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is important for high-purity hydrogen generation. Transition metals-based compounds have been considered as promising substitutes for the Pt-based electrocatalysts toward HER. Nevertheless, pure metals display inert HER activity because of their unfavorable adsorption behavior for intermediates. Herein, thiourea engaged electrodeposition was conducted to fabricate sulfur-doped nickel and copper (S–Ni/Cu) nanowires that contain numerous interfaces. Interface and sulfur doping redistributed the electronic states of the electrocatalyst structure, which accelerated the adsorption of hydrogen atoms at active sites and promoted the water dissociation process. Consequently, the HER overpotential of S–Ni/Cu is only 67 mV at 10 mA cm^–2, with excellent durability.

构建用于氢气进化反应的掺硫镍铜界面

开发高效、经济的氢进化反应（HER）电催化剂对于高纯度制氢非常重要。过渡金属基化合物一直被认为是氢进化反应铂基电催化剂的理想替代品。然而，由于纯金属对中间产物的吸附行为不理想，因此其 HER 活性不强。在此，我们采用硫脲参与电沉积的方法，制备了含有大量界面的硫掺杂镍和铜（S-Ni/Cu）纳米线。界面和硫掺杂重新分配了电催化剂结构的电子态，从而加速了氢原子在活性位点的吸附并促进了水的解离过程。因此，在 10 mA cm-2 的条件下，S-Ni/Cu 的 HER 过电位仅为 67 mV，具有极佳的耐久性。
