Abstract

2D materials, especially 2D superlattices with tailored geometries, represent an emerging class of promising electrocatalysts for sustainable energy conversion. However, the development of 2D superlattices has been largely confined to self-assembled layered structures, and it remains a great challenge to rationally design the distances between neighboring metal sites at the atomic level to match the adsorption configurations of key species in the target reaction pathways. In this work, a general strategy is reported for synthesizing Ru metallene nanobelts (Ru-ene) in-plane superlattices using molten salts as space-confined growth templates. The fabricated Ru-ene superlattices consist of Ru atom pairs separated by atomic-level distance periodicity of 0.32 nm and a high density of active sites. Both experiments and DFT calculations show that the Ru-ene superlattices structure enhances the adsorption of H2O and accelerates the desorption of H*. The Ru-ene superlattices exhibits excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance with a small overpotential (η10 = 50 mV), a low Tafel slope (42.38 mV dec−1), as well as good long-term stability. This work not only provides a new method for constructing in-plane superlattices materials, but also establishes an intrinsic mechanistic correlation between the atomic distance, ΔGH* of H-adsorption, and the HER performance.

Ru金属烯纳米带中的超晶格对强劲析氢的影响
二维材料,特别是具有定制几何形状的二维超晶格,代表了一类新兴的有前途的可持续能量转换电催化剂。然而,二维超晶格的发展很大程度上局限于自组装层状结构,在原子水平上合理设计相邻金属位点之间的距离以匹配目标反应途径中关键物质的吸附构型仍然是一个巨大的挑战。在这项工作中,报告了一种使用熔盐作为空间限制生长模板合成Ru金属烯纳米带(Ru-ene)平面超晶格的一般策略。制备的钌烯超晶格由原子级距离周期为0.32 nm的钌原子对和高密度的活性位点组成。实验和DFT计算均表明,钌烯超晶格结构增强了对H2O的吸附,加速了H*的脱附。钌烯超晶格具有良好的析氢性能,过电位小(η10 = 50 mV), Tafel斜率低(42.38 mV dec−1),长期稳定性好。这项工作不仅提供了一种构建平面内超晶格材料的新方法,而且还建立了原子距离、h吸附ΔGH*与HER性能之间的内在机制关系。
