Catalytically active surface for hydrogen evolution

该项目旨在开发用于高效电催化制氢的催化剂上的活性表面。具有丰富过渡金属活性中心的靶向催化剂是电催化领域的新前沿。本项目旨在开发气相水热方法，以有效地原位生长具有丰富金属中心的单晶催化剂，并通过原位掺杂杂原子来进一步提高其活性。预期的结果包括用于构建活性表面的原子的可靠制造手段，以及提高对析氢反应的活性部位的理解。

This project aims to develop classes of active surface on catalysts for efficient electrocatalytic hydrogen production. Targeted catalysts with abundant transitional metal active sites are a new frontier in electrocatalysis. This project intends to develop vapour-phase hydrothermal approaches to effectively in-situ grow single crystal catalysts with rich metal centres and to further boost their activities by in-situ doping with heteroatoms. Expected outcomes include robust fabrication means for atomic construction of active surfaces and improved understanding of active sites for hydrogen evolution reaction.
