Abstract

One of the challenges in designing efficient electrocatalysts is rationalizing the impact of crystal and electronic structures on catalytic activity. Here, we synthesized four BaRuO₃ polymorphs with different structures and investigated the d-d interaction stemming from face-sharing RuO₆. The polymorph 9R-BaRuO₃ has the highest percentage of face-sharing RuO₆ octahedra and, therefore, the strongest d-d interaction; it shows the best activity and stability in catalyzing alkaline hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). Specifically, 9R-BaRuO₃ displays a small Tafel slope of 30 mV dec⁻¹ and a low overpotential of η₁₀ < 51 mV. This performance is attributed to its high intrinsic activity delivered by the d-d interaction and is intimately related to the crystal structure. The micron-sized 9R-BaRuO₃ powders are stable under industrial plasma spraying and carry a current density of 0.4 A/cm² @ 1.74 V in commercial alkaline water electrolyzers. The results on catalytic activities and crystal structure provide insight for designing better electrocatalysts for practical applications.

具有面共享结构的钌酸包晶用于碱性氢进化

设计高效电催化剂所面临的挑战之一是合理解释晶体和电子结构对催化活性的影响。在此，我们合成了四种具有不同结构的 BaRuO3 多晶体，并研究了共面 RuO6 产生的 d-d 相互作用。多晶体 9R-BaRuO3 具有最高比例的共面 RuO6 八面体，因此具有最强的 d-d 相互作用；它在催化碱性氢进化反应（HER）中表现出最佳的活性和稳定性。具体来说，9R-BaRuO3 的塔菲尔斜率较小，为 30 mV dec-1，过电位较低，为 η10 < 51 mV。这种性能归因于其通过 d-d 相互作用产生的高内在活性，并与晶体结构密切相关。微米大小的 9R-BaRuO3 粉末在工业等离子喷涂条件下非常稳定，在商用碱性水电解槽中的电流密度为 0.4 A/cm2 @ 1.74 V。催化活性和晶体结构方面的研究结果为设计更好的电催化剂提供了启示。
