Strong electronic metal–support interaction between Pt and stainless mesh for enhancing the hydrogen evolution reaction

Abstract

Strong electronic metal-support interaction (EMSI) can tailor the electronic structure of electrocatalysts. Herein, Pt nanoparticles anchored on stainless mesh (SM) via EMSI engineering is reported, exhibiting excellent hydrogen production activity....

Self-supported electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction

“…Stainless steel is not only more resistant to corrosion in acid and alkaline solutions, but also cheaper than CC, NF, titaniumbased substrates, and CFM, which have been more emphasized heavily. [240][241][242][243][244][245][246] Recently, Zhu et al fabricated an efficient bifunctional electrocatalytic electrode of nanoporous nickel-iron hydroxides (NiFe(OH) x ) nanosheet arrays combined metal Ni/Fe in situ grown on stainless steel fiber felt (SSF) by a facile electrodeposition method at room temperature. 247 The constructed electrode showed distinguished electrocatalytic activity for water splitting, requiring overpotentials of 100 and 210 mV at 10 mA cm À2 in 1 M KOH media for the HER and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), respectively.…”

Interfacial engineering of FeWO4/Fe2O3 homometallic heterojunctions for synergistic electrocatalytic water splitting

“…Although Ir and Pt are effective OER and HER catalysts, their high cost and lack of bifunctional activity limit their widespread use. 6,7 In recent years, extensive research has been conducted on the design and synthesis of low-cost nonnoble metal electrocatalysts, such as metal oxides, chalcogenides, carbides, phosphides, nitrides, and borides. [8][9][10] These transition metal oxides can improve HER performance by promoting water dissociation and enhancing H atom adsorption, thanks to their unique charged properties.…”

Synergizing the internal electric field and ferroelectric polarization of the BiFeO3/ZnIn2S4 Z-scheme heterojunction for photocatalytic overall water splitting

“…Among the potential green fuels from articial photosynthesis, hydrogen is one of the most attractive candidates owing to its high combustion value and zero-carbon emission. [1][2][3] Ever since TiO 2 was employed to split water under solar energy in 1972, 4 hydrogen obtained from photocatalytic water splitting over particulate photocatalysts has been considered to hold great promise owing to its obvious advantages such as its sustainability, environment-friendly nature and scalability. Typically, the photocatalytic overall water splitting process is a thermodynamically uphill reaction, and the splitting efficiency is determined by (i) the light absorption capacity, (ii) charge separation and migration efficiency of the photocatalyst and (iii) activity of catalytic sites.…”
