Abstract

Abstract:

As an inexpensive and widely used metal oxide, TiO₂ with improved catalytic activity after processing and modification can be used in electrocatalysis field. In this paper, a hydrophilic anatase TiO₂ with hierarchical flower-like structure was prepared and loaded with PdCu NPs on its surface. The obtained two-phase composite nanomaterial PdCu NPs@TiO₂ had a large specific surface area and abundant active sites. The samples with different compositions of 5%, 10% and 20% PdCu NPs@TiO₂ were characterised by SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS and BET, and the activity changes of electrocatalytic hydrogen precipitation were evaluated using electrochemical tests. The results showed that the prepared Pd₂Cu NPs@TiO₂-10 (Pd∶Cu=2∶1) HER electrocatalyst performed the best with low water adsorption/dissociation and H intermediate desorption energy barriers. It had a low overpotential of 35.8mV and a low Tafel slope of 46.3mV/dec at current density up to 10mA/cm² under acidic condition.

摘要：

TiO₂作为一种价格低廉、应用广泛的金属氧化物，加工改性后提高其催化活性，可广泛应用于电催化领域。本文制备了一种亲水性锐钛矿型TiO₂多级花状结构，在其表面负载PdCu NPs，所得PdCu NPs@TiO₂两相复合纳米材料具有更大的比表面积和更多的活性位点。通过扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜、X射线衍射仪、X射线光电子能谱及BET分析等手段对PbCu NPs质量分数为5%、10%和20%的PdCu NPs@TiO₂样品进行表征，并利用电化学测试观察其催化活性的变化。结果表明，所制备的Pd₂Cu NPs@TiO₂-10（Pd与Cu之比为2∶1）两相复合纳米材料作为析氢反应（HER）电催化剂性能最优，具有较低的水吸附/解离能垒和H中间体脱附能垒。在酸性条件下电流密度达到10mA/cm²时具有35.8mV的低过电位，46.3mV/dec的低Tafel斜率，表现出优异的电催化活性。
