Abstract:
Achieving high catalytic activity with a minimum amount of platinum (Pt) is crucial for accelerating the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis, yet it remains a significant challenge. Herein, a directed dual-charge pumping strategy to tune the d-orbital electronic distribution of Pt nanoclusters for efficient HER catalysis is proposed. Theoretical analysis reveals that the ligand effect and electronic metal-support interactions (EMSI) create an effective directional electron transfer channel for the d-orbital electrons of Pt, which in turn optimizes the binding strength to H*, thereby significantly enhancing HER efficiency of the Pt site. Experimentally, this directed dual-charge pumping strategy is validated by elaborating Sb-doped SnO2 (ATO) supported Fe-doped PtSn heterostructure catalysts (Fe-PtSn/ATO). The synthesized 3%Fe-PtSn/ATO catalysts exhibit lower overpotential (requiring only 10.5 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm(-)(2)), higher mass activity (28.6 times higher than commercial 20 wt.% Pt/C), and stability in the HER process in acidic media. This innovative strategy presents a promising pathway for the development of highly efficient HER catalysts with low Pt loading.
