Cobalt Nanocrystals Encapsulated in Heteroatom-Rich Porous Carbons Derived from Conjugated Microporous Polymers for Efficient Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution.
Small 2018 October
Cobalt nanocrystals encapsulated in N,O-dual-doped porous carbons as efficient and stable electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are reported. A heteroatom-rich-conjugated microporous polymer is first chemically deposited on a carbon fiber cloth, and after addition of a cobalt salt, pyrolyzed to produce a heteroatom-doped C/Co nanocrystal composite. With this process, the use of additional binders for preparation of electrodes can be avoided. With a trace cobalt loading (0.46 wt%), the electrodes achieve a low Tafel slope of 46 mV dec-1 and overpotential of only 69 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in 0.5 m H2 SO4 . Experimental and computational studies reveal that the superior HER behavior is due to a decreased free energy of hydrogen adsorption, induced by i) electrons transferred from the cobalt nanocrystals to graphite layers and ii) N,O-dual doping reduced the Fermi level of neighboring C atoms.
