The dinuclear Ru diazadiene olefin complex, [Ru(OTf)(μ-H)(Medad)(dbcot)], is an active catalyst for hydrogen evolution in a Polymer Exchange Membrane (PEM) water electrolyser. When supported on high surface area carbon black and at 80 °C, [Ru(OTf)(μ-H)(Medad)(dbcot)]@C evolves hydrogen at the cathode of a PEM electrolysis cell (400 mA cm, 1.9 V). A remarkable turn over frequency (TOF) of 7800 mol mol h is maintained over 7 days of operation. A series of model reactions in homogeneous media and in electrochemical half cells, combined with DFT calculations, are used to rationalize the hydrogen evolution mechanism promoted by [Ru(OTf)(μ-H)(Medad)(dbcot)].
双核钌二氮杂二烯烯烃配合物[Ru(OTf)(μ-H)(Medad)(dbcot)]是聚合物电解质膜(PEM)水电解槽中析氢的活性催化剂。当负载在高比表面积炭黑上且温度为80°C时,[Ru(OTf)(μ-H)(Medad)(dbcot)]@C在PEM电解槽的阴极析氢(400 mA cm,1.9 V)。在运行7天的过程中,保持了7800 mol mol⁻¹ h⁻¹的显著周转频率(TOF)。通过一系列在均相介质和电化学半电池中的模型反应,结合密度泛函理论(DFT)计算,来阐明[Ru(OTf)(μ-H)(Medad)(dbcot)]促进析氢的机理。
