A rational bottom-up engineering strategy for efficient electrocatalysts based on atomic layer deposition (ALD) is reported. The strategy involves compositional optimization of surface catalyst material by ALD for high specific activity and geometric optimization of electrode structure for high surface area. The two optimizations are decoupled herein, because the conformal ALD ensures that the coating of the catalyst does not depend on the substrate geometry. To demonstrate this strategy, we choose ternary FexCo1-xSy compound as the catalyst for electro-chemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Compositional optimization shows that Fe0.54Co0.46S0.92 is the best composition for high specific HER activity, and it is therefore chosen to be conformally coated by ALD on a high-surface-area CNTs/CC (carbon nanotubes on carbon cloth) electrode. The synthesized Fe0.54Co0.46S0.92/CNTs/CC electrode exhibits a fairly low HER overpotential of -70 mV for achieving -10 mA/cm(2) in current density in alkaline solution, which demonstrates the effectiveness of this ALD-based engineering strategy.
