Abstract
The development and practical use of new energy materials rely heavily on designing high-efficiency, multifunctional catalysts for HER, HOR, ORR, and OER. In this study, 20 transition metal atoms were adsorbed on distinct sites of Janus material CrSSe's surface. Based on DFT and combined with VASPsol simulations, 120 structures were calculated to evaluate catalytic activity in liquid. We found FCC_Se_Ru@CrSSe exhibited excellent HER/HOR (lowest ΔGH∗ = −0.07eV), FCC_Se_Ir@CrSSe showed remarkable OER/ORR (ηORR = 0.37V, ηOER = 0.46V) (promising bifunctional catalysts), and FCC_Se_Pd@CrSSe acted as a trifunctional catalyst (good HER/HOR, high ORR). These catalysts outperformed traditional Pt (111) and RuO2 (110). This research proposed a new paradigm for multifunctional catalysts and expanded Janus materials' application in electrochemical energy storage and conversion.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
