主 题:gas–solid reaction tungsten nitride/carbide codoping phase regulation hydrogen evolution
摘 要:Transition metal nitride/carbide(TMN/C)have been actively explored as low-cost hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)electrocatalysts owing to their Pt-like physical and chemical properties.Unfortunately,pure TMN/C suffers from strong hydrogen adsorption and lacks active centers for water dissociation.Herein,we developed a switchable WO_(3)-based in situ gas–solid reaction for preparing sophisticated Fe-N doped WC and Fe-C doped WN nanoarrays.Interestingly,the switch of codoping and phase can be effectively manipulated by regulating the amount of ferrocene.Resultant Fe-C-WN and Fe-N-WC exhibit robust electrocatalytic performance for HER in alkaline and acid electrolytes,respectively.The collective collaboration of morphological,phase and electronic effects are suggested to be responsible for the superior HER activity.The smallest|ΔGH*|value of Fe-NWC indicates preferable hydrogen-evolving kinetics on the Fe-N-WC surface for HER under acid condition,while Fe-C-WN is suggested to be beneficial to the adsorption and dissociation of H_(2)O for HER in alkaline electrolyte.
