摘要
The synthesis of atomic-scale metal catalysts is a promising but very challenging project. In this work, we successfully fabricated a hybrid catalyst of Pt-c/Ni(OH)(2) with atomic-scale Pt clusters uniformly decorated on porous Ni(OH)(2) nanowires (NWs) via a facile room-temperature synthesis strategy. The as-obtained Pt-c/Ni(OH)(2) catalyst exhibits highly efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance under basic conditions. In 0.1 mol L-1 KOH, the Pt-c/Ni(OH)(2) has an onset overpotential of similar to 0 mV vs. RHE, and a significantly low overpotential of 32 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm(-2), lower than that of the commercial 20% Pt/C (58 mV). The mass current density data illustrated that the Pt-c/Ni(OH)(2) reached a high current density of 6.34 Amg(Pt)(-1) at an overpotential of 50 mV, which was approximately 28 times higher than that of the commercial Pt/C (0.223 Amg(Pt)(-1) at the same overpotential, proving the high-efficiency electrocatalytic activity of the as-obtained Pt-c/Ni(OH)(2) for HER under alkaline conditions.
