Abstract

Here, N-doped cobalt pyrite (CoS 2 ) electrocatalytic material is developed via utilizing the synergic effect of N dopants and S vacancies. The catalyst displays high activity and stability for hydrogen evolution reaction. Density functional theory calculations and electrochemical characterizations reveal that the electrochemical activity of the CoS 2 catalyst is directly associated with the content of N dopants and S vacancies, where proper combinations of N dopants and S vacancies yield a minimized overpotential close to that of commercial Pt. What’s more, optimized performance has been achieved by carefully manipulating the amounts of N dopants and S vacancies in N-doped CoS 2 catalyst, which exhibits a Tafel slope as small as 48 mV/dec, an ultralow overpotential of 57 mV at 10 mA/cm 2, and satisfying stability. This work highlights a feasible strategy to explore efficient electrocatalysts via nonmetal element doping and defect engineering.

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.
