Catalytic enhancement of hydrogen generation through the nanoporous zinc-water reaction
We demonstrate that the reaction between nanoporous zinc (NP-Zn) and water to generate hydrogen can be significantly enhanced by using Ni atom clusters as a catalyst deposited onto NP-Zn through galvanic replacement. During galvanic replacement, Ni²⁺ in solution deposits as Ni atoms on NP-Zn, while Zn atoms dissolve from NP-Zn as Zn²⁺. Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy shows that the deposited Ni-to-Zn ratio is <1 at.%, limited by zinc oxide formation from the reaction between NP-Zn and the water-containing Ni²⁺ solution. X-ray diffraction confirms that Ni deposition and zinc oxide formation co-occur. Our optimal deposition time yields a Ni-to-Zn ratio of 0.9 at.%, which produces hydrogen with a yield of ≈75 %, compared to ≈52 % for pristine NP-Zn without Ni catalyst and ≈13 % for commercial bulk Zn. This highlights the potential of Ni-modified NP-Zn in improving hydrogen evolution reaction kinetics, offering a scalable approach for on-demand hydrogen production.
期刊介绍:
Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
