Constructing superhydrophilic CoRu-LDH/PANI nanowires with optimized electronic structure for hydrogen evolution reaction

Jiexin Chen et al.

Summary: Promoting the dissociation of water and desorption of hydrogen is crucial for improving the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity and stability in alkaline media. In this study, a polyaniline-coated CoRu-LDH (CoRu-LDH/PANI) nanowire array electrocatalyst is demonstrated to be efficient and stable for alkaline HER. The CoRu-LDH/PANI exhibits excellent HER activity with low overpotentials at large current densities, surpassing the benchmark Pt/C and the pristine CoRu-LDH. The PANI coating not only enhances the HER performance by regulating the electronic structure and reducing the binding strength to hydrogen intermediates, but also provides a superhydrophilic surface for electrolyte and bubble transport, contributing to the long-term stability.

In situ precise anchoring of Pt single atoms in spinel Mn3O4 for a highly efficient hydrogen evolution reaction

Jinxin Wei et al.

Summary: This study reports the synthesis of a Pt single atom catalyst (Pt-SA-Mn3O4) supported by a spinel Mn3O4. The strong interactions between Pt and Mn3O4 significantly modulate the electronic structures, resulting in optimized d-band center and binding strength of intermediates.

Is There Anything Better than Pt for HER?

Johannes Novak Hansen et al.

Summary: Efforts to find cheap alternatives to platinum for the hydrogen evolution reaction have not yet found a catalyst with intrinsic activity that can compete with platinum. It is important to measure intrinsic catalytic activities and consider the impact of mass-transport limitations on observed activity. Despite achieving the highest turnover frequency for platinum, the true intrinsic HER activity for platinum in acid remains unknown due to mass transport limitations.
