Defect-stabilized platinum single atoms and clusters in bilayer nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanocages for synergistic catalysis of basic hydrogen evolution

Chao Wang et al.

Summary: This study successfully synthesized NPCN-Pt, which consists of Pt clusters and single atoms loaded on N-doped porous carbon nanocages using ZIF-8 as a catalyst for alkaline water electrolysis. The results showed that NPCN-Pt exhibited significantly higher turnover frequency and mass activity compared to commercial Pt/C, and demonstrated better stability. Theoretical calculations indicated that Pt clusters had a lower activation energy barrier for water molecules compared to Pt single atoms, promoting the Volmer step. Furthermore, Pt single-atom sites had a smaller delta G(H*) than Pt clusters, facilitating the release of H-2. Therefore, the synergistic catalytic effect of Pt clusters and single atoms in the HER reaction provides new insights for the development of efficient HER catalysts.
