Electrochemical synthesis of HO a two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e ORR) has emerged as a promising alternative to the anthraquinone process. However, the strong competition from the 4e pathway severely limits its activity and selectivity, especially for Pt-based catalysts. Herein, ultrathin single-crystal PtSe nanosheets were successfully prepared an selenization process using commercial Pt/C as a precursor, demonstrating an exclusive 2e ORR pathway compared to the 4e pathway of commercial Pt/C, delivering a high HO selectivity over a wide pH range (>80%, up to 94.1%). Furthermore, infrared spectroscopy results revealed Pt as an active center, accompanied by the key intermediate OOH* adsorption and HOOH formation.
通过两电子氧还原反应(2e ORR)电化学合成过氧化氢已成为蒽醌法颇具前景的替代方法。然而,来自4e途径的激烈竞争严重限制了其活性和选择性,尤其是对于铂基催化剂而言。在此,以商业Pt/C为前驱体,通过硒化过程成功制备了超薄单晶PtSe纳米片,与商业Pt/C的4e途径相比,其展示出独特的2e ORR途径,在较宽的pH范围内具有较高的过氧化氢选择性(>80%,高达94.1%)。此外,红外光谱结果表明Pt是活性中心,伴随着关键中间体OOH*的吸附和过氧化氢的形成。
