Abstract

Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) via electrocatalysis is one method of enabling sustainable production of molecular hydrogen as a clean and promising energy carrier. Previous theoretical and experimental results have shown that some two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides (MXenes) can be effective electrocatalysts for the HER, based on the assumption that they are functionalized entirely with oxygen or hydroxyl groups on the basal plane. However, it is known that MXenes can contain other basal plane functionalities, e.g., fluorine, due to the synthesis process, yet the influence of fluorine termination on their HER activity remains unexplored. In this paper, we investigate the role and effect of basal plane functionalization (T x ) on the HER activity of 5 different MXenes using a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches. We first studied Ti 3 C 2 T x produced by different fluorine-containing etchants and found that those with higher fluorine coverage on the basal plane exhibited lower HER activity. We then controllably prepared Mo 2 CT x with very low basal plane fluorine coverage, achieving a geometric current density of −10 mA cm –2 at 189 mV overpotential in acid. More importantly, our results indicate that the oxygen groups on the basal planes of Mo 2 CT x are catalytically active toward the HER, unlike in the case of widely studied 2H-phase transition metal dichalcogenides such as MoS 2, in which only the edge sites are active. These results pave the way for the rational design of 2D materials for either the HER, when minimal overpotential is desired, or for energy storage, when maximum voltage window is needed.

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.
