AbstractDeveloping high-performance electrocatalysts toward hydrogen evolution reaction is important for clean and sustainable hydrogen energy, yet still challenging. Herein, we report a single-atom strategy to construct excellent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hydrogen evolution reaction electrocatalyst (NiRu0.13-BDC) by introducing atomically dispersed Ru. Significantly, the obtained NiRu0.13-BDC exhibits outstanding hydrogen evolution activity in all pH, especially with a low overpotential of 36 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in 1 M phosphate buffered saline solution, which is comparable to commercial Pt/C. X-ray absorption fine structures and the density functional theory calculations reveal that introducing Ru single-atom can modulate electronic structure of metal center in the MOF, leading to the optimization of binding strength for H2O and H*, and the enhancement of HER performance. This work establishes single-atom strategy as an efficient approach to modulate electronic structure of MOFs for catalyst design.

In this study, four meso-expanded Co(III)corroles at meta-positions through Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions and their structural characterization are successfully accomplished and reported. An analysis of the structure–property relationships by spectroscopy, electrochemistry and electrochemical catalysis demonstrate how the positional isomerism influence the electronic structure and their catalytic behaviors of hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs) and oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs).
