Composite Ni-MoO2 coatings were prepared and characterized with respect to their possible application as electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline solution. The composites were electrodeposited onto Ni meshes from an ammonium chloride Ni solution with suspended MoO2 particles in simulated industrial conditions for production of commercial cathodes. The influence of the concentration of MoO2 particles in the solution and deposition current density on the morphology, chemical and phase composition of obtained coatings was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Catalytic activity for the HER of the coatings was examined by polarization measurements in a 32 wt. % NaOH solution at 90?C and compared to the activity of the commercial De Nora?s cathode (DN). It was shown that the most active Ni-MoO2 coating exhibits better polarization characteristics for the HER than the DN cathode. The mechanism of the HER on the specified Ni-MoO2 coating was investigated in 8 mol dm-3 NaOH at 30?C by means of steady-state polarization measurements and an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method. Based on the theoretical interpretation of the experimental data, rate constants of the three individual steps of the HER were determined and the source of catalytic activity of the coating was elucidated.

Ru is a key component of electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), especially in alkaline media. However, the catalytic activity and durability of Ru-based HER electrocatalysts are still far from satisfactory. Here we report a solvothermal approach for the synthesis of PdCuRu porous nanoplates with different Ru compositions by using Pd nanoplates as the seeds. The PdCuRu porous nanoplates were formed through underpotential deposition (UPD) of Cu on Pd, followed by alloying Cu with Pd through interdiffusion and galvanic replacement between Cu atoms and Ru precursor simultaneously. When evaluated as HER electrocatalysts, the PdCuRu porous nanoplates exhibited excellent catalytic activity and durability. Of them, the Pd24Cu29Ru47/C achieved the lowest overpotential (40.7 mV) and smallest Tafel slope (37.5 mV dec−1) in an alkaline solution (much better than commercial Pt/C). In addition, the Pd24Cu29Ru47/C only lost 17% of its current density during a stability test for 10 h, while commercial Pt/C had a 59.5% drop under the same conditions. We believe that the electron coupling between three metals, unique porous structure, and strong capability of Ru for water dissociation are responsible for such an enhancement in HER performance.

2D MXenes have been found to be one of the most promising catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to their excellent electronic conductivity, hydrophilic nature, porosity and stability. Nonmetallic (NM) element doping is an effective approach to enhance the HER catalytic performance. By using the density functional theory (DFT) method, we researched the effect of nonmetallic doping (different element types, variable doping concentrations) and optimal hydrogen absorption concentration on the surface of NM-Ti3C2O2 for HER catalytic activity and stability. The calculation results show that doping nonmetallic elements can improve their HER catalytic properties; the P element dopants catalyst especially exhibits remarkable HER performance (∆GH = 0.008 eV when the P element doping concentration is 100% and the hydrogen absorption is 75%). The origin mechanism of the regulation of doping on stability and catalytic activity was analyzed by electronic structures. The results of this work proved that by controlling the doping elements and their concentrations we can tune the catalytic activity, which will accelerate the further research of HER catalysts.
