摘要/Abstract

摘要： Hierarchical nanostructure construction and electronic structure engineering are commonly employed to increase the electrocatalytic activity of HER electrocatalysts. Herein, Ni doped Co₃S₄ hierarchical nanosheets on Ti mesh (Ni doped Co₃S₄ HNS/TM) were successfully prepared by using metal organic framework (MOF) as precursor which was synthesized under ambient condition. Characterization results confirmed this structure and Ni incorporation into Co₃S₄ lattice as well as the modified electronic structure of Co₃S₄ by Ni doping. Alkaline HER performance showed that Ni doped Co₃S₄ HNS/TM presented outstanding HER activity with 173 mV overpotential at -10 mA·cm^-2, surpassing most of metal sulfide-based electrocatalysts. The hierarchical structure, superior electrical conductivity and electronic structure modulation contributed to the accelerated water dissociation and enhanced intrinsic activity. This work provides a new avenue for synthesizing hierarchical nanostructure and simultaneously tuning the electronic structure to promote HER performance, which has potential application in designing highly efficient and cost-effective HER nanostructured electrocatalyst.
