摘要：

The alkaline electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a potential way to realize industrial hydrogen production. However, the sluggish process of H2O dissociation, as well as the accumulation of OH- around the active sites, seriously limit the alkaline HER performance. In this work, we developed a unique CoS2 needle array grown on a carbon cloth (NAs@C) electrode as an alkaline HER catalyst. Finite-element simulations revealed that CoS2 needle arrays (NAs) induce stronger local electric field (LEF) than CoS2 disordered needles (DNs). This LEF can greatly repel the local OH- around the active sites, and then promote the forward H2O dissociation process. The local pH changes of the electrode surface confirmed the lower OH- concentration and stronger local pseudo-acidic environment of NAs@C compared to those of DNs@C. As a result, the NAs@C catalyst exhibited a low HER overpotential of 121 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) in 1 M KOH, with the Tafel slope of 59.87 mV dec(-1). This work provides a new insight into nanoneedle arrays for the alkaline HER by electric field-promoted H2O dissociation.
