讲座摘要:

Water electrolysis, fuel cells, andmetal-air batteries all require efficient and cheap electrocatalysts that cansignificantly lower the overpotentials. Bimetallic alloys and their oxides ornitrides compounds are particularly interesting as non-precious metalelectrocatalyst materials for HER and OER applications, because of theirtailorable electronic structure, conductivity, and surface chemistry. Our grouphas been actively working on nanoarray materials directly grown on conductivesubstrates as electrodes for supercapacitor, batteries and electrocatalyst.

In this talk, I will present two mainresults about surface and interface engineering/functionalization ofelectrocatalysts: (1) RF nitrogen and carbon plasma as a highly effectivetechnique for conversion reaction and surface functionalization ofnanostructured electrocatalysts. The N plasma treatment not only generateshierarchical nanostructure surface, but also induces N doping as well ashydrophilicity. Using C-plasma, we can not only reduce the metal oxide surface,but also deposit a thin and uniform carbon coating. In addition, in thepresence of metal catalyst, it can also generate vertical graphene nanosheetsdirectly on electrode materials. (2) We demonstrate that dual cation doping, orcation-anion co-doping in nanoarray electrode materials can simultaneouslymodulate increase active sites exposure, and regulate water dissociation and hydrogenadsorption free energy). As a consequence, the dopings lead to a significantenhancement in catalytic activities for both HER and OER.
