超薄二维中熵合金作为一种高效稳定的析氧反应电催化剂

摘要: 开发高效、持久、低成本的电催化剂是电催化制氢的关键。超薄二维纳米材料具有极大的比表面积,使其成为理想的电催化剂形态。中熵合金表现出成分的可调性和熵驱动的结构稳定性,使其成为理想的电催化剂候选者。在本研究中,利用简易的离子层外延生长法成功地开发了一种具有超薄二维形貌的MoCoNi 中熵合金,展示出了优异的析氧反应电催化性能:即表现出了非常低的过电位167 mV(电流密度为10 mA/cm2时)与较小的塔菲尔斜率33.2 mV/dec。在过电位为167 mV时,超薄二维 MoCoNi 中熵合金的质量活性高达3359.6 A/g,比商用贵金属氧化物RuO2(1.15 A/g)高出3个数量级。这种优异的电催化性能得益于多种活性金属协同作用诱导的中熵效应,以及超薄的厚度大大缩短了电荷转移距离从而显著促进了电荷转移。由于天然的熵稳定效应,超薄二维 MoCoNi 中熵合金在连续析氧反应电催化测试134 h后仍能保持90%的初始电流,表现出良好的电催化稳定性。本研究通过开发具有超薄二维形貌的中熵合金,为开发高性能和低成本的电催化剂材料开辟了新的途径。

 

Ultrathin two-dimensional medium-entropy alloy as a highly efficient and stable electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction

Abstract: The development of highly active, durable, and low-cost electrocatalysts is crucial for electrocatalytic hydrogen production. Ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have extremely large specific surface areas, making them highly desirable electrocatalyst morphologies. Medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) exhibit compositional tunability and entropy-driven structural stability, making them ideal electrocatalyst candidates. In this study, MoCoNi MEA with ultrathin 2D morphology was successfully developed using a facile ionic layer epitaxial method. The ultrathin 2D MoCoNi MEA showed an excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalytic performance, with a low overpotential of 167 mV at a current density of 10 mA/cm2 and small Tafel slope of 33.2 mV/dec. At the overpotential of 167 mV, the ultrathin 2D MoCoNi MEA exhibited ultrahigh mass activity of 3359.6 A/g, which is three orders of magnitude higher than that of the commercial noble metal oxide RuO2 (1.15 A/g). This excellent electrocatalytic performance was attributed to the synergy of multiple active metal-induced medium entropies, as well as the ultrathin thickness, which considerably shortened the charge-transfer distance and thus significantly promoted charge transfer. Owing to the natural entropy-stabilizing effect, the ultrathin 2D MoCoNi MEA maintained 90% of the initial current after a continuous OER electrocatalytic test for 134 h, showing impressive electrocatalytic stability. This study opens new avenues for the development of high-performance and low-cost electrocatalyst materials by creating MEAs with ultrathin 2D morphology.
