Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution of Ultrathin Co‐Mo5N6 Heterojunction with Interfacial Electron Redistribution

Abstract

Modulating nitrogen‐rich nitrides with favorable electron structure to enhance hydrogen production activity is challenging due to thermodynamically unfavorable characteristics. Herein, an ultrathin heterojunction of metallic Co and nitrogen‐rich nitride (Co‐Mo 5 N 6) is prepared through the ammonia annealing process as a robust electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Density functional theory simulations and experiments reveal that the obtained Co‐Mo 5 N 6 enables electron redistribution between the nitrogen‐rich phase and Co for more negative H 2 O adsorption energy, decreasing the subsequent energetic barrier of dissociation (0.05 eV) and optimizing H* absorption (Δ GH* = 0.1 eV). The structure is connected by nanosheet (≈1.2 nm) building blocks with abundant interstitial spaces, open and connective channels, and strong capillary forces, which accelerate mass transfer and electrical conductivity. The Co‐Mo 5 N 6 exhibits excellent HER activity with an extremely low overpotential of 19 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and Tafel slope of 29.0 mV dec−1. Notably, the required overpotential is only 280 mV to achieve a high current density of 1000 mA cm−2 which is better than commercial Pt/C. This work not only improves the understanding of the catalytic activity and the electron redistribution of nitrogen‐rich nitrides, but also presents a new strategy to design other nitrogen‐rich metal nitrides (such as W 2 N 3, Ta 5 N 6).

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.
