摘要：

The rational design of pH-universal electrocatalyst with high-efficiency, low-cost and large current output suitable for industrial hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is crucial for hydrogen production via water splitting. Herein, phase engineering of ruthenium (Ru) electrocatalyst comprised of metastable unconventional face-centered cubic (fcc) and conventional hexagonal close-packed (hcp) crystalline phase supported on nitrogen-doped carbon matrix (fcc/hcp-Ru/NC) is successfully synthesized through a facile pyrolysis approach. Fascinatingly, the fcc/hcp-Ru/NC displayed excellent electrocatalytic HER performance under a universal pH range. To deliver a current density of 10 mA cm(-2), the fcc/hcp-Ru/NC required overpotentials of 16.8, 23.8 and 22.3 mV in 1 M KOH, 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1 M phosphate buffered solution (PBS), respectively. Even to drive an industrial-level current density of 500 and 1000 mA cm(-2), the corresponding overpotentials are 189.8 and 284 mV in alkaline, 202 and 287 mV in acidic media, respectively. Experimental and theoretical calculation result unveiled that the charge migration from fcc-Ru to hcp-Ru induced by work function discrepancy within fcc/hcp-Ru/NC regulate the d-band center of Ru sites, which facilitated the water adsorption and dissociation, thus boosting the electrocatalytic HER performance. The present work paves the way for construction of novel and efficient electrocatalysts for energy conversion and storage.
