Abstract

Based on the hydrogen spillover effect, versatile binary-site catalysts are promising for the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In which one site can adsorb and dissociate water, while the neighboring site is favorable for liberating hydrogen. Inspired by these possibilities, oxygen vacancy (Ov)-rich LaCeOx coupled N-doped graphene/Ru single-atoms (LaCeOx @NGr/Ru1) was synthesized as an efficient dual-site HER catalyst. It delivered an impressive low overpotential of 22 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 and a slight Tafel slope of 40 mV dec−1 in an alkaline medium, outstanding the advanced Ru-based catalysts. Moreover, this promising binary-component catalyst exhibited higher mass activity and longer lasting durability than commercial Pt/C catalyst (20 wt%). Experimental and theoretical investigations provided insights into the HER mechanisms of LaCeOx @NGr/Ru1 based on three indispensable steps: water adsorption and dissociation on Ov-rich LaCeOx, diffusion of generated H* species towards Ce3+-N-Ru1 bridges, and hydrogen evolution on Ru1 sites.

LaCeOx偶联n掺杂石墨烯/Ru单原子作为基于氢溢出的高效析氢二元催化剂
基于氢溢出效应,多功能二元催化剂在碱性析氢反应中具有广阔的应用前景。其中一个位点可以吸附和解离水,而邻近的位点有利于释放氢。受这些可能性的启发,合成了富氧空位(Ov)的LaCeOx偶联n掺杂石墨烯/Ru单原子(LaCeOx @NGr/Ru1)作为高效的双位点HER催化剂。在碱性介质中,在电流密度为10 mA cm−2的情况下,其过电位为22 mV,塔菲尔斜率为40 mV dec−1,优于先进的钌基催化剂。此外,这种有前途的二元组分催化剂比商用Pt/C催化剂(20% wt%)具有更高的质量活性和更长的持久耐用性。实验和理论研究基于三个必不可少的步骤:水在富含ov的LaCeOx上的吸附和解离,生成的H*向Ce3+-N-Ru1桥的扩散,以及Ru1位点上的氢演化,为LaCeOx @NGr/Ru1的HER机制提供了深入的见解。
