Single‐Atom Ru Doping Induced Phase Transition of MoS2 and S Vacancy for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Zhang, Junmeng, Xu, Xiaopei, Yang, Liu, Cheng, Daojian, Cao, Dapeng·2019·Small Methods

Abstract

Using electrochemical water splitting to produce hydrogen is still a grand challenge due to the lack of economical and efficient Pt‐free catalysts. Herein, a single‐atom Ru supported on MoS 2 (SA‐Ru‐MoS 2) electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is reported. Results indicate that single‐atom Ru doping induces phase transition of MoS 2 and generation of S vacancies, which significantly improve the performance of inert 2D MoS 2 for HER. In particular, the SA‐Ru‐MoS 2 electrocatalyst exhibits a low overpotential of 76 mV at 10 mA cm−2 in alkaline media, which is superior to most electrocatalysts previously reported in the literature. Combining experimental results with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is further revealed that the origin of high HER activity is mainly attributed to the synergy effects of single‐atom Ru doping and S vacancies and phase transition of local structure of MoS 2, which efficiently tailors the electronic structure of SA‐Ru‐MoS 2 and extremely reduces the energy barrier of the Volmer step and the adsorption/desorption of H* intermediate step. In short, this work provides a single‐atom doping strategy to transfer the inert MoS 2 into the highly efficient electrocatalysts.

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.
