摘要：The rational design and construction of inexpensive and highly active electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)is of great importance for water ***,we develop a facile approach for preparation of porous carbon-confined Ru-doped Cu nanoparticles(denoted as Ru-Cu@C)by direct pyrolysis of the Ru-exchanged Cu-BTC metal–organic *** served as the electrocatalyst for HER,strikingly,the obtained Ru-Cu@C catalyst exhibits an ultralow overpotential(only 20 mV at 10 mA cm^(-2))with a small Tafel slope of 37 m V dec^(-1)in alkaline *** excellent performance is comparable or even superior to that of commercial Pt/C *** functional theory(DFT)calculations confirm that introducing Ru atoms into Cu nanocrystals can significantly alter the desorption of H_(2) to achieve a close-to-zero hydrogen adsorption energy and thereby boost the HER *** strategy gives a fresh impetus to explore low-cost and high-performance catalysts for HER in alkaline media.

摘要：Photocatalytic water splitting with simultaneous degradation of organic pollutants is an effective strategy to alleviate the increasingly serious energy and environmental ***,the photocatalytic activity is restricted by the high charge recombination rate and limited sunlight ***,black phosphorus(BP)with a broad sunlight response range was utilized as a photosensitizer to enhance the photocatalytic performance of the Au/carbon nitride(CN)*** as-prepared BP/Au/CN exhibited a significantly enhanced H_(2) generation rate of 1400.8µmol h^(−1) g^(−1) under UV-vis light irradiation,which is almost 70 times higher than that of bare CN and BP/CN and 2 folds higher than that of the Au/CN ***,the optimal BP/Au/CN sample presented a waste-to-hydrogen production rate of 195.8µmol h^(−1) g^(−1) with the degradation of bisphenol A,verifying the synergistic effect of the ternary *** photocatalytic mechanism was systematically studied by the combination of experiments and theoretical *** improved photocatalytic performance was derived from the overall sunlight absorption ability of BP,effective electron transfer media and plasmonic character of Au nanoparticles,as well as the matched work function and strong interaction of the three components.A unidirectional electron transfer from BP to Au and then to CN was established,which effectively improved the charge transfer capability,resulting from the appropriate Ohmic contact of Au and BP and the Schottky barrier constructed in Au/CN hybrid.
