Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Catalyzed by Transition-Metal Nitrides
Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used in this study to screen for stable and active catalyst material among transition-metal nitrides (TMNs) for catalyzing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Previously, we have predicted with DFT calculations that some TMNs form ammonia under electrochemical conditions, while others become poisoned or react to give ammonia and its parental metal. The TMNs of Sc, Ti, Y, Hf, Ta, and Mo, however, become fully covered with H adatoms without forming any ammonia. These TMNs are investigated further here, where we focus on the (100) facet of the rocksalt structure. We calculate the H coverage as a function of the applied potential. Activation energies of H 2 formation via the Tafel reaction are also calculated at varying applied potentials. The results nominate a few nitrides (TaN, HfN, MoN, and ScN) capable of catalyzing HER at low overpotentials of −0.09 to −0.34 V vs a reversible hydrogen electrode, with the activation energies of the Tafel reaction being found relatively similar to those reported on Pt(111).

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.
