测试结果表明,CoIr/MXene在酸性和碱性下均表现出优异的析氢反应(HER)性能,具有极低的过电位。在碱性和酸性电流密度为10 mA cm-2时过电位分别为34 和50 mV(Figure 3a和3g),在目前报道的催化剂中处于较优水平。Tafel斜率值表明HER的决速步骤由Heyrovsky步骤转变为Tafel步骤(Figure 3c和3i),改善了反应动力学。通过CV循环和50 h计时电流法测试表明催化剂具有优异的稳定性能(Figure 3f和3l及插图)。机理分析

接触角的测试表明催化剂表面具有良好的亲水性以及疏氧性能,可以增强界面水吸附并减少氢气泡在表面的聚集。原位拉曼(Figure 5d-g)同样证实了催化剂具有较强的水吸附作用,在反应电压范围内K+水化水(KW)的含量明显上升;同时,A1g的峰强度也产生明显变化,表明表面含氧官能团(-O,-OH)也促进了反应进程。理论计算表明,电荷富集于MXene表面,提高了Ir的态密度,从而降低了Ir位点对于H的吸附,与同步辐射的表征结果相一致。4. 总结与展望这项工作采用熔盐刻蚀策略制备了MXene担载CoIr纳米合金催化剂。CoIr纳米颗粒通过Ti-O-M键方式锚定于MXene表面,使二者之间具有强相互作用。电荷由合金颗粒向载体发生转移,优化了中间体的吸附能,降低了Ir过强的氢吸附能和Volmer步骤的反应势垒,从而加速了反应动力学。此外,MXene良好的表面含氧官能团提供了优异的亲水性,促进了表面水吸附以及*OH的吸附。这些优势使得CoIr/MXene催化剂具有低的析氢过电位(碱性34 mV@ 10 mA cm-2,酸性50 mV@ 10 mA cm-2)以及良好的稳定性。本项研究成果为探索高效的MXene基催化剂提供了新思路。
