While efficient for electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), Pt is limited by its cost and rarity. Traditional Pt catalysts and Pt single-atom (aPt) catalysts (Pt-SACs) face challenges in maintaining kinetically favorable HER pathways (Volmer-Tafel) at ultralow Pt loadings. Herein, carbon-promoted aPts were deposited on RuO without the addition of reductants. aPts confined on carbon-supported RuO nanorods (aPt/RuO/Carbon) promoted "inter-aPts" Tafel. aPt/RuO/Carbon is the Pt-SAC that retained underpotentially deposited H; additionally, its HER onset overpotential was "negative". The aPt/RuO/Carbon exhibited 260-fold higher Pt mass activity ()/turnover frequency (TOF) (522.7 A mg/528.4 s) than that of commercial Pt/C (1.9 A mg/1.9 s). In an ultralow Pt loading (0.19 μg cm), the HER rate-determining step maintained Volmer-Tafel and the Pt utilization efficiency was 100.3%.
虽然铂对电化学析氢反应(HER)有效,但它受到成本和稀有性的限制。传统的铂催化剂和铂单原子(aPt)催化剂(Pt-SACs)在超低铂负载量下维持动力学上有利的HER途径(Volmer-Tafel)面临挑战。在此,在不添加还原剂的情况下,将碳促进的aPts沉积在RuO上。限制在碳负载的RuO纳米棒上的aPts(aPt/RuO/碳)促进了“aPts间”的Tafel反应。aPt/RuO/碳是保留欠电位沉积氢的Pt-SAC;此外,其HER起始过电位为“负”。aPt/RuO/碳的铂质量活性()/周转频率(TOF)(522.7 A mg/528.4 s)比商业Pt/C(1.9 A mg/1.9 s)高260倍。在超低铂负载量(0.19μg cm)下,HER速率决定步骤维持Volmer-Tafel反应,铂利用效率为100.3%。
