主 题:alkaline interface adsorption
摘 要:The pursuit of storing renewable electricity in chemical bonds has encouraged the effort toward developing efficient electrocatalysts for alkaline hydrogen ***,the additional step of water dissociation under alkaline conditions frequently limits the performance of electrocatalysts in alkaline ***,we synthesize Ni_(4)W/WO_(3) with a strongly coupled interface on the Ni foam(NF)by phase transition of NiWO_(4),to enhance the activity for alkaline hydrogen *** is discovered that the strong binding hydroxyl on WO_(3) sites facilitates the dissociation of water,which in turn promotes hydrogen evolution through the synergy effect of strong adsorption of H on Ni *** adsorption/desorption energy of Ni sites is further tuned by the formation of intermetallic *** to the three-dimensional structure and tailored composition,the Ni_(4)W/WO_(3)/NF electrocatalyst exhibits a low overpotential of 31 mV at a current density of10 mA·cm^(-2),with a Tafel slope of 38 mV·dec^(-1).This work provides new opportunities to modulate the catalytic performance of Ni-based electrocatalysts by signifying the metal-oxide interface.
