Theoretical and Experimental Insight into the Effect of Nitrogen Doping on Hydrogen Evolution Activity of Ni3S2 in Alkaline Medium

Abstract

Nickel sulfide (Ni 3 S 2) is a promising hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst by virtue of its metallic electrical conductivity and excellent stability in alkaline medium. However, the reported catalytic activities for Ni 3 S 2 are still relatively low. Herein, an effective strategy to boost the H adsorption capability and HER performance of Ni 3 S 2 through nitrogen (N) doping is demonstrated. N‐doped Ni 3 S 2 nanosheets achieve a fairly low overpotential of 155 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and an excellent exchange current density of 0.42 mA cm−2 in 1.0 m KOH electrolyte. The mass activity of 16.9 mA mg−1 and turnover frequency of 2.4 s−1 obtained at 155 mV are significantly higher than the values reported for other Ni 3 S 2‐based HER catalysts, and comparable to the performance of best HER catalysts in alkaline medium. These experimental data together with theoretical analysis suggest that the outstanding catalytic activity of N‐doped Ni 3 S 2 is due to the enriched active sites with favorable H adsorption free energy. The activity in the Ni 3 S 2 is highly correlated with the coordination number of the surface S atoms and the charge depletion of neighbor Ni atoms. These new findings provide important guidance for future experimental design and synthesis of optimal HER catalysts.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
