Interface Engineering of Crystalline Cu-Amorphous Pt Heterophase for Enhanced Zno Hydrogen Sensitivity Performance

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

The construction of crystalline-amorphous heterogeneous phase interfaces is an effective strategy to enhance their surface active sites. We successfully synthesised amorphous Pt-crystalline Cu (aPtcCu) nanospheres for ultrasensitive H2 detection. Cu2+ first reduced in the oleylamine−ascorbic acid (OAm-AA) solvent system due inhibition Pt reduction. Next Pt2+ by electrocoupling substitution already and amorphisation achieved strong OAm adsorption. gas sensing test results show that aPtcCu/ZnO sensor has higher response lower working temperature (160 oC) than Pt/ZnO (180 ZnO (240 oC). Moreover, can detect as low 2 ppm response/recovery time only s/6 s. significantly sensitization characteristic aPtcCu be attributed following: 1) more site on Pt; 2) crystalline/amorphous heterophase interface separates electrons holes, which further catalytic activity aPtcCu; 3) Pt4+ ↔ accelerates reaction surface. prepared expected a candidate monitoring hydrogen leakage, provides new direction application amorphous/crystalline sensitizers sensors.

Abstract The sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) critically limit efficiency anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE). Herein, a Ce‐doped bimetallic Fe 2 P/NiCoP hybrid pre‐catalyst that undergoes dynamic reconstruction to activate highly efficient OER pathway is designed. optimized Ce 0.1 ‐Fe exhibits an impressively low overpotential 280 mV at 0.5 A cm −2 and small Tafel slope 55.3 dec −1 in 1.0 M KOH. Remarkably, when integrated as anode AEMWE electrolyzer, it delivers cell voltage 1.812 V maintains stable performance for over 500 h 60 °C. In situ characterizations density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal Ce‐doping enhances surface modulates electronic structure, thereby reducing energy barriers intermediates (Δ G *OH Δ *OOH ) formation accelerating kinetics. This work introduces novel strategy utilize catalyst reconstruction, advancing their applications systems.

Crystal Field Stabilization Energy Asymmetrically Constructed Built‐in Electric Fields for Efficient Water Cracking

Small, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 24, 2025

Abstract Efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER OER) play crucial roles in water electrolysis. However, the discrepancy binding affinities of catalytic sites to O/H‐contained intermediates makes it difficult achieve OER HER catalysis simultaneously. Multi‐component heterostructures have been demonstrated be an effective solution realize electrocatalysts, but division labor action mechanism each component are not fully elucidated. Therefore, based on asymmetrical crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) between NiS Ni 2 P, heterogeneous catalyst (NiS/Ni P@NF) with built‐in electric (BEF) is constructed this paper, which showed efficient bifocal cracking. DFT calculation has confirmed that BEF causes directional movement electrons material, thus optimizing OER/HER reaction path. Further control experiments indicated P serves as active species corresponding HER, NiS/Ni P@NF delivers a remarkably reduced cell voltage 1.62 V (10 mA cm −2 ) within H‐type electrolyzer both anode cathode electrodes. The strategy constructing CFSE potential precisely induce local electron flow site accurately design multifunctional catalysts composition‐function contrast.
