摘要

One of the most primary challenges to achieve large-scale hydrogen generation from water electrolysis is the sluggish kinetics and noble metal dependence of cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).By considering the excellent water dissociation catalytic activity of Mo2C,abundant Pt/Mo2C interfaces were facilely engineered via galvanic replacement (gr) by using Mo/Mo2C nanosheets as self-sacrificed templates to alter the alkaline HER mechanism on Pt based catalyst.The rational designed interface-rich gr-Pt/Mo2C catalyst exhibited excellent activity with the overpotential to drive 10 mA/cm2 current density decreased by 18.5 mV compared with the commercial Pt/C catalyst.34.3 mV/dec Tafel slope confirms the Volmer-Tafel HER route on gr-Pt/Mo2C in alkaline condition.Platinum utilization is calculated to be improved by 9.7 times by considered the low Pt loading in the gr-Pt/Mo2C catalyst.With its satisfied stability,the scalable gr-Pt/Mo2C catalyst shows promising application potential in industrial electrolysis systems.
