Abstract

The comprehensive characterization of the structure-electrocatalytic activity relationships is of great interest to support the development of efficient catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in proton-exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. The successful implementation of a bimetallic iron-molybdenum sulfide electrocatalyst for HER into a PEM electrolyzer has been reported. However, the precise nature of their active sites is still elusive. In this study, we employed X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to study iron-molybdenum and molybdenum sulfides obtained by a microwave irradiation synthetic approach. Operando XAS measurements in an acidic environment revealed sulfur-defective amorphous MoS_x and FeS phases. Although the amount of dopant Fe is 10 times lower than that of Mo, the synergy between the two phases promotes the HER performance of iron-molybdenum sulfides.

用于氢气进化反应的硫化铁钼电催化剂：操作性 XAS 研究

结构-电催化活性关系的综合表征对于支持质子交换膜（PEM）电解槽中氢气进化反应（HER）高效催化剂的开发具有重要意义。据报道，一种双金属硫化铁钼电催化剂已成功应用于 PEM 电解槽中的氢进化反应。然而，其活性位点的确切性质仍然难以捉摸。在本研究中，我们采用 X 射线吸收光谱 (XAS) 研究了通过微波辐照合成方法获得的铁钼和钼硫化物。在酸性环境中进行的操作性 XAS 测量发现了硫缺陷的无定形 MoSx 和 FeS 相。虽然掺杂剂铁的含量比钼低 10 倍，但这两种相之间的协同作用促进了铁钼硫化物的 HER 性能。
