Predicting a new class of diamond-supported transition-metal single-atom catalysts for hydrogen evolution
Carbon materials containing sp2 C have been widely discussed as single-atom catalyst supports while diamond with pure sp3 C has not been studied as supports yet. Here we performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to screen a group of diamond-supported transition-metal single-atom catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). We modelled metals supported on a pristine surface and in single-vacancy and double-vacancy forms of diamond (111) and discussed their stability. Cr and Co in the single-vacancy form, as well as Sc, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, and Co in the double-vacancy form were predicted to have relatively high HER activity levels.
期刊介绍:
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions.
The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
