ABSTRACT
Developing efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in full pH range can promote the practical applications of hydrogen energy. In this work, nitrogen doped carbon nanosheets supported RuM (Mo, W, Cr) (RuM/NCN) are prepared through an ultrafast microwave approach. The carbon nanosheet structure coupled with the ultrasmall RuM nanoparticles can expose rich active sites to optimize the catalytic activity. Moreover, the strong metal-support interactions also favor to accelerate the reactions kinetics and improve stability. Thus, the developed RuMo/NCN (RuW/NCN) show excellent HER catalytic activities with overpotentials of 72 (75) mV, 82 (82) mV and 124 (119) mV to reach current density of 10 mA cm -2 in 1 M KOH, 0.5 M H2SO4 and alkaline seawater, respectively, and also achieve excellent performance in 1 M PBS. This work provides a valid and novel avenue to design efficient electrocatalysts in renewable energy-related fields.
