要旨

Understanding the variation of active structure during the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) process is of great importance for aiding in the design of optimized electrocatalysts. Herein, we present a composite material of FeP nanoparticles coated by N-doped carbon (FeP@NC) as an efficient HER electrocatalyst, synthesized by a pyrolysis and equivalent-volume impregnation method. The as-prepared FeP@NC catalyst can accelerate the HER at a small overpotential of 135 mV with a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in acidic medium and also shows a robust long-term stability with a minor decay of about 10% of the initial current density after 15 h. Using in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), a potential-dependent surface rearrangement of a surface pentahedral Fe structure into an octahedral Fe moiety via surface hydroxylation is clearly observed during the HER process, resulting in a much higher electrocatalytic activity. The theoretical calculations further unveil that the rearrangement of the surface FeP5(OH) octahedral structure could effectively trigger the adjacent P atoms to act as favorable proton acceptor sites towards improving the reaction kinetics of the Volmer step for efficient electrochemical hydrogen evolution.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
