Morphology and surface chemistry engineering toward PH-universal catalysts for hydrogen evolution at high current density
Open accessAbstract
Large-scale implementation of electrochemical hydrogen production requires several fundamental issues to be solved, including understanding the mechanism and developing inexpensive electrocatalysts that work well at high current densities. Here we address these challenges by exploring the roles of morphology and surface chemistry, and develop inexpensive and efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution. Three model electrocatalysts are flat platinum foil, molybdenum disulfide microspheres, and molybdenum disulfide microspheres modified by molybdenum carbide nanoparticles. The last catalyst is highly active for hydrogen evolution independent of pH, with low overpotentials of 227 mV in acidic medium and 220 mV in alkaline medium at a high current density of 1000 mA cm−2, because of enhanced transfer of mass (reactants and hydrogen bubbles) and fast reaction kinetics due to surface oxygen groups formed on molybdenum carbide during hydrogen evolution. Our work may guide rational design of electrocatalysts that work well at high current densities.

Both HER and OER must be obtained at considerably high overpotentials to achieve overall water splitting.
“However, both”
From Phosphorus doped nickel-molybdenum aerogel for efficient overall water splitting (2021) · cites this paper as [4]
The Introduction (page unavailable) says that water splitting is hindered by slow kinetics and that several HER catalysts have large overpotentials, particularly at high current densities. It does not establish that both HER and OER require considerably high overpotentials for overall water splitting; the passages address HER, not OER. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
