摘要
大多数先进的氢进化反应(HER)催化剂在碱性条件下具有很高的活性。然而,在自然酸性 pH 值条件下,其性能会下降,这在实际应用中往往是个问题。在此,我们构建了一种富含空位(NiS2-ReS2-V)的硫化铼(Re)-过渡金属二卤化物异质结催化剂。优化后的催化剂在广泛的 pH 值范围内显示出非凡的电催化 HER 性能,在碱性、酸性和中性条件下的过电位分别为 42、85 和 122 mV。此外,以 NiS2-ReS2-V1 为阴极的双电极系统在 500 mA cm-2 的条件下可提供 1.73 V 的电压,优于工业系统。此外,以 NiS2-ReS2-V1 为阴极的单个 Zn-H2O 电池的开路电压可达理论值的 90.9%,最大功率密度高达 31.6 mW cm-2。此外,它还表现出了卓越的稳定性,在 10 mA cm-2 下可持续放电约 120 小时,在各方面都明显优于相同条件下的商用 Pt/C 催化剂。一系列系统表征和理论计算表明,异质结界面上的 Re 空位会产生更强的内置电场,从而深刻影响表面电荷分布,进而提高 HER 性能。
Enabling built-in electric fields on rhenium-vacancy-rich heterojunction interfaces of transition-metal dichalcogenides for pH-universal efficient hydrogen and electric energy generation
Most advanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts show high activity under alkaline conditions. However, the performance deteriorates at a natural and acidic pH, which is often problematic in practical applications. Herein, a rhenium (Re) sulfide–transition-metal dichalcogenide heterojunction catalyst with Re-rich vacancies (NiS2-ReS2-V) has been constructed. The optimized catalyst shows extraordinary electrocatalytic HER performance over a wide range of pH, with ultralow overpotentials of 42, 85, and 122 mV under alkaline, acidic, and neutral conditions, respectively. Moreover, the two-electrode system with NiS2-ReS2-V1 as the cathode provides a voltage of 1.73 V at 500 mA cm−2, superior to industrial systems. Besides, the open-circuit voltage of a single Zn–H2O cell with NiS2-ReS2-V1 as the cathode can reach an impressive 90.9% of the theoretical value, with a maximum power density of up to 31.6 mW cm−2. Moreover, it shows remarkable stability, with sustained discharge for approximately 120 h at 10 mA cm−2, significantly outperforming commercial Pt/C catalysts under the same conditions in all aspects. A series of systematic characterizations and theoretical calculations demonstrate that Re vacancies on the heterojunction interface would generate a stronger built-in electric field, which profoundly affects surface charge distribution and subsequently enhances HER performance.
