Multiscale Anion-Hybrid in Atomic Ni Sites for High-Rate Water Electrolysis: Insights into the Charge Accumulation Mechanism.
Journal of the American Chemical Society 2024 May 9
Single-atom catalysts, characterized by transition metal-(N/O)4 units on nanocarbon (M-(N/O)4 -C), have emerged as efficient performers in water electrolysis. However, there are few guiding principles for accurately controlling the ligand fields of single atoms to further stimulate the catalyst activities. Herein, using the Ni-(N/O)4 -C unit as a model, we develop a further modification of the P anion on the outer shells to modulate the morphology of the ligand. The catalyst thus prepared possesses high activity and excellent long-term durability, surpassing commercial Pt/C, RuO2 , and currently reported single-atom catalysts. Notably, mechanistic studies demonstrated that the pseudocapacitive feature of multiscale anion-hybrid nanocarbon is considerable at accumulating enough positive charge [Q], contributing to the high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) order (β) through the rate formula. DFT calculations also indicate that the catalytic activity is decided by the suitable barrier energy of the intermediates due to charge accumulation. This work reveals the activity origin of single atoms on multihybrid nanocarbon, providing a clear experiential formula for designing the electronic configuration of single-atom catalysts to boost electrocatalytic performance.
