Ultrathin N-Doped Mo2C Nanosheets with Exposed Active Sites as Efficient Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reactions
Abstract
Probing competent electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of water splitting is one of the most hopeful approaches to confront the energy and environmental crisis. Herein, we highlight ultrathin N-doped Mo 2 C nanosheets (N-Mo 2 C NSs) in the role of greatly efficient platinum-free-based electrocatalysts for the HER. The transformation of crystal phase and structure between MoO 2 nanosheets with a thickness of ∼1.1 nm and N-Mo 2 C NSs with a thickness of ∼1.0 nm is studied in detail. Structural analyses make clear that the surfaces of the N-Mo 2 C NSs are absolutely encompassed by apical Mo atoms, hence affording an ideal catalyst prototype to expose the role of Mo atoms for the duration of HER catalysis. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the nanosheet structure, N doping, and particular crystalline phase of Mo 2 C produce more exposed Mo active sites, including Mo atoms on the C plane and doped N atoms. Through detailed electrochemical investigations, N-Mo 2 C NSs possess HER activity with an onset potential of −48.3 mV vs RHE, Tafel slope of 44.5 mV dec –1, and overpotential of 99 mV vs RHE at the cathodic current density of 10 mA cm –2 with excellent long-term stability. Lastly, the calcination temperature and dicyandiamide amount can obviously affect the phase transformation and surface structure of molybdenum carbide, resulting in an adjustable HER activity. This synthesis mechanism will facilitate the understanding and optimization of Mo-based electrocatalysts in the energy conversion field.

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.
