An acid oxidation strategy is proposed to boost the 2e(-) ORR activity of metallic TiC by generating a surface amorphous oxygen-deficient TiO2-x layer, resulting in high H2O2 selectivity and stability.
The electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is regarded as an attractive alternative to the anthraquinone process for sustainable and on-site hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production. It is however hindered by low selectivity due to strong competition from the four-electron ORR and needs efficient catalysts to drive the 2e(-) ORR. Here, an acid oxidation strategy is proposed as an effective strategy to boost the 2e(-) ORR activity of metallic TiC via in-site generation of a surface amorphous oxygen-deficient TiO2-x layer. The resulting a-TiO2-x/TiC exhibits a low overpotential and high H2O2 selectivity (94.1% at 0.5 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)), and it also demonstrates robust stability with a remarkable productivity of 7.19 mol g(cat).(-1) h(-1) at 0.30 V vs RHE. The electrocatalytic mechanism of a-TiO2-x/TiC is further revealed by density functional theory calculations.
