Abstract:
As a cost-effective alternative to Pt-based catalysts, molybdenum carbide (MoC) exhibits considerable potential for catalysing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in both alkaline water electrolyzers and proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers. However, achieving ampere-level current densities at low overpotentials remains challenging for MoC-based electrocatalysts. In this study, we utilized electrospinning technology followed by a subsequent heat treatment to successfully synthesize monodisperse MoC nanoparticles (approximately 4.3 nm) embedded in carbon nanofibers. The resultant self-supporting one-dimensional molybdenum carbide@nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber (MoC-A@NCNF), prepared with polyoxometalate anion (POM) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), exhibits excellent anti-aggregation behavior. Benefiting from its high specific surface area and one-dimensional conductive network structure, the MoC-A@NCNF displays outstanding hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance in both 1 M KOH and 0.5 M H2SO4, achieving overpotentials of 491 mV and 568 mV at a current density of 1 A cm−2, respectively. Furthermore, it exhibits exceptional electrochemical stability during prolonged HER testing under both acidic and alkaline conditions. © 2024
