摘要

Insight into the growth behavior and electronic regulation of platinum (Pt) on various transition metal supports is paramount in developing high-performing electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). Herein, we studied the influence of molybdenum-based supports (MoX, X = C, N, P, and S) on the growth behavior and electronic regulation of Pt. We found that the formation energy variations between Pt single atom and clusters on MoX supports play a pivotal role in the growth behavior of Pt. Moreover, the electronic regulation of Pt induced by metal-support interaction may reflect the valence changes of Pt in Pt-MoX/C. The Pt-MoC/C catalyst with a moderate valence state of Pt exhibits the best HER activity with an overpotential of 12.0 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and a mass activity of 27.1 A mgPt−1, 12.3 times as high as that of commercial 20 wt% Pt/C. This work provides constructive guidance for the design of high-performance HER catalysts.
