Abstract
The alkaline water cracking electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution process (HER) offers a wide range of applications in the production of clean hydrogen. Carefully designing highly stable and active electrocatalysts from the plenty of elements on Earth is now the main research direction. The Ni-S-Mn/NF catalyst was synthesized in situ on nickel foam (NF). The polycrystalline structure composed of MnS2, MnS, NiS and Mn dopants greatly optimizes charge transfer and manipulates the electronic structure. Based on the results, the created Ni-S-Mn/NF material may be employed as a highly active electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution without the need for a binder. The Ni-S-Mn/NF has a much lower overpotential (41 mV at 10 mA cm−2) than undoped and single-phase samples, as well as the majority of documented HER catalysts. In addition, the catalysts display a prominent capacitance (Cdl) of 124.3 mF cm−2, which indicates their excellent electrochemical performance. This discovery provides a feasible strategy for producing highly active and long-lasting HER electrocatalysts based on non-precious metals.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.
Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
