Efficient design approaches have been developed to create electrocatalysts with the aim of enhancing both the number of active sites and the inherent activity of each individual active site. There is a requirement for more universally applicable approaches to thoroughly understand the activity of electrocatalysts. Heterojunctions have a notable positive impact on electrode surfaces, especially for compounds that have groups capable of donating or withdrawing electrons. Heterojunctions generate a confined distribution of electric charge at the boundary due to an intrinsic electric field caused by the differences in work function between the materials present. The existence of a concentrated charge distribution at the interface leads to the creation of an electro/nucleophilic region, which increases the attraction of intermediary substances. On the other hand, the existence of a site with an abundance of electrons greatly enhances the capacity for hydrogen adsorption and also improves other electroreduction processes. Conversely, the presence of a site with a deficiency of electrons greatly enhances the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). This review summarizes the electron redistribution phenomenon happening after the strong contact between two interfaces. We have explained the charge distribution phenomenon in semiconductor‐semiconductor heterojunctions and metal‐semiconductor heterojunctions.

“…2,9 Recently, a large number of non-precious metal electrocatalysts such as transition metal oxides, hydroxides, and nitrides have received much attention, but some of the catalysts only show excellent hydrogen or oxygen production activity and their total hydrolysis performance is poor. [10][11][12] Among them, transition metal oxides, such as Mo-based oxides, have been widely studied for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts due to their abundant reserves, excellent electrochemical conductivity and high chemical stability. Specifically, molybdenum oxide (MoO 2 ) is a good HER electrocatalyst because of its low electrical resistance (8.8 Â 10 À5 O cm).…”

“…Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental tests demonstrated high electrochemical stability of MXene (V 2 C or Nb 2 CT x )-supported Pt configurations during the ORR process, which is ascribed to the high thermodynamic stability of the strong and reactive metal–support interaction. Interface engineering provides a feasible approach to improve catalytic activity, and interfacial bonding plays a crucial role in the stability of the electrocatalysts. − Fe–N–C/MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) with superlattice-like heterostructure has been demonstrated as an enhanced oxygen reduction electrocatalyst . Precious metal nanoparticles and 2D supporting materials easily form a coherent interface, which improves electrocatalytic performances.…”

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells suffer from performance degradation caused by the oxidation and corrosion of carbon supports. Metal−platinum interactions can enhance the catalytic activity and stability due to compositional and geometric effects. Two-dimensional MXenes have been intensively studied in recent years and are expanding rapidly in both types and applications. Recently, ORR performances of dual-transition metal MXenes with abundant surface Mo vacancy have been demonstrated as efficient electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reaction in an alkaline solution. In this study, the electrochemical performances of Mo-based MXenes-supported Pt electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reaction are investigated in an acidic solution. Compared with the Pt/C catalysts, Pt/Mo 2 TiC 2 F x exhibits improved durability, with a 28.7 mV negative shift of the half-wave potential after continuous scanning of 5000 cycles, which is superior to Pt/C with an 84.3 mV negative shift. The proton-exchange membrane fuel cell with Pt/Mo 2 TiC 2 F x as the cathode catalyst also shows excellent activity and stability with a 0.7% potential fade after 9 h. According to the morphology evolution during oxygen reduction, the excellence in electrochemistry is due to the coherent interface between Pt and MXene, which provides a high binding force between Pt nanoparticles and the supporting materials.
