A new type of organic proton donor for the strong-acid/base-free hydrogen evolution reaction is reported, by taking advantage of the electron deficiency of the boron center of borinic acid and the strong affinity and hydrolysis reaction between borinic acid and water with hydrogen ion formation. The borinic acid proton donor exhibits even higher current density than H2SO4 to promote hydrogen evolution performance in DMF.
报道了一种新型的用于无强酸/强碱析氢反应的有机质子供体，利用硼酸硼中心的缺电子特性以及硼酸与水之间的强亲和力和水解反应形成氢离子。硼酸质子供体在N,N-二甲基甲酰胺（DMF）中表现出比硫酸更高的电流密度，以促进析氢性能。
