摘要
Molybdenum-based electrocatalysts are promising candidates of platinum (Pt)-based materials in electro-catalyzing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), due to their cost-efficient and resembled electronic properties. Reported herein is the preparation of molybdenum carbide nanoparticles uniformly decorated on nitrogen-modified carbons (Mo2C/NC) through the carbonization of Mo-based polymers under hydrogen atmosphere by using poly(p-phenylenediamine) and ammonium heptamolybdate polymer analogue as precursors. And the molybdenum nitride nanoparticles loaded on porous N-doped carbons (Mo2N/NC) are also fabricated by calcination the polymer precursors in nitrogen gas. The Mo2C/NC shows more excellent electrocatalytic activity than Mo2N/NC in 0.5 M H2SO4, together with robust long-term durability. The well-crystalline nanoparticles and the increased electron conductivity are the main characters responded for the high catalytic efficiency of the fabricated electrocatalysts. This easily fabrication procedure may provide a facile route to prepare non-noble metal carbide/nitride catalysts featuring well-engineered structural and textural peculiarities for realistic energy conversion system.
