Insights on the Corrosion and Degradation of MXenes as Electrocatalysts for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Abstract: MXenes, known as the graphene-like two-dimensional transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, or nitrides, have been considered as promising electrocatalysts to replace benchmark Pt for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Despite the success in fabricating MXenes, their application in catalysis still faces great challenges. One critical drawback is the rapid corrosion and structural evolution of MXenes during storage and HER. In this work, the corrosion and structural evolution of various MXenes in air, aqueous … Show more

“…Therefore, our goal was to develop easier modification of MXene, i.e., the layer expansion and a morphology of MXene layers with holes, to accelerate the H + intercalation and deintercalation to increase higher capacitance at high rates. MXenes tend to degrade or oxidize slowly overtime, and we hypothesized that we could exploit and control this breaking of 2D layers to enhance energy storage applications …”

“…The hybrid Ti 3 CN outperforms the pure phase Ti 3 CN corroborating the −O/−OH functionalization mechanism, as the latter has more −F basal plane coverage due to LiF/H 2 SO 4 chemical etching. This hybrid also outperforms both multilayer Ti 3 C 2 , Ti 4 N 3 , and Ti 2 C, which exhibit overpotentials of −0.66 V, −0.82 V and −0.69 V, respectively (Table S2) [7,11,35] …”

“…This hybrid also outperforms both multilayer Ti 3 C 2 , Ti 4 N 3 , and Ti 2 C, which exhibit overpotentials of À 0.66 V, À 0.82 V and À 0.69 V, respectively (Table S2). [7,11,35] The HER kinetics were probed by acquiring Tafel plots which are presented in Figure 3b. The higher HER performance of the hybrid Ti 3 CN was further corroborated by a lower Tafel slope of 126 mV/decade as compared to the 253 mV/decade and 284 mV/decade for the Ti 3 AlCN and Ti 3 CN, respectively, indicating a Volmer rate determining step (Figure S2, Supplemental Information).…”
