One-dimensional PtCo-Pt-rich nanowires (Ru-PtrichCo NWs) with abundant active sites and enhanced catalytic activity have been fabricated using a simple electrodeposition method, showing great potential for efficient hydrogen production.
Rational design and development of highly efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts is of great significance for the development of green water electrolysis hydrogen production technology. Ru-engineered 1D PtCo-Pt-rich nanowires (Ru-PtrichCo NWs) are fabricated by a facile electrodeposition method. The rich Pt surface on 1D Pt3Co contributes to the fully exposed active sites and enhanced intrinsic catalytic activity (co-engineered by Ru and Co atoms) for HER. The incorporation of Ru atoms can not only accelerate the water dissociation in alkaline condition to provide sufficient H* but also modulate the electronic structure of Pt to achieve optimized H* adsorption energy. As a result, Ru-PtrichCo NWs have exhibited ultralow HER overpotentials (eta) of 8 and 112 mV to achieve current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm(-2) in 1 m KOH, respectively, which far exceed those of commercial Pt/C catalyst (eta(10) = 29 mV, eta(100) = 206 mV). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further demonstrate that the incorporated Ru atoms possess strong water adsorption capacity (-0.52 vs -0.12 eV for Pt), facilitating water dissociation. The Pt atoms in the outermost Pt-rich skin of Ru-PtrichCo NWs achieve optimized H* adsorption free energy (Delta G(H*)) of -0.08 eV, boosting hydrogen generation.
