摘要: 利用金纳米盘电极的极小尺寸(Au NEs,半径小于50 nm),研究了在纳米电极表面产生的单个氢纳米气泡,以评价其析氢性能。我们研究了Au NEs在不同浓度硫酸中的电化学行为,结果表明CV的形状随着硫酸浓度的增加从S型波逐渐变为峰型波。根据纳米气泡的形成机理,得出了产生单个纳米气泡的最小硫酸浓度,表明此时氢气在电极表面达到了临界过饱和,产生了单个纳米气泡和电化学峰型响应。并通过微动力学模型评价了金纳米电极和金@二硫化钨量子点纳米电极(Au@WS2 NEs)的析氢反应(HER)活性。结果表明,在Au NEs表面的临界溶解氢气浓度约为0.4 M,相当于室温和大气压下溶于水中氢气过饱和度的500倍。此外,通过对单个纳米气泡形成前的电流强度的微动力学分析,发现Au@WS2 NEs和Au NEs析氢反应的决速步骤分别为Heyrovsky step和Volmer step,Au@WS2 NEs决速步的标准速率常数(k0)约为Au NEs的12倍,表明Au@WS2 NEs具有更高的HER活性。随着HER活性的增加,气泡形成电位转向更正的电位。这项工作利用极小尺寸的纳米电极甚至包括分子尺寸的纳米电极对其表面产生的单个氢纳米气泡进行研究,为纳米气泡电化学研究提供了基础,并为后续基于气泡的应用提供了新的思路,可以帮助我们设计和筛选应用于基础电化学、电催化和能源相关领域的新型纳米材料,特别是在单个实体水平上。

Abstract: Taking advantage of the extremely small size of the gold nanodisk electrode, the single hydrogen nanobubble generated on the surface of the nanoelectrode was studied to evaluate its hydrogen evolution performance. It was found that compared with the bare gold nanodisk electrode, the bubble formation potential of the gold nanodisk electrode modified with tungsten disulfide quantum dots (WS2 QDs) on the surface was more positive, indicating that its hydrogen evolution activity was higher. Microdynamic model analysis shows that the average standard rate constant of the rate-determining step of the hydrogen evolution reaction of gold nanoelectrodes modified with WS2 QDs is approximately 12 times larger than that of gold nanoelectrodes. This work based on the formation of nanobubbles provides new ideas for the design and performance evaluation of hydrogen evolution reaction catalysts.
