摘要: In some embodiments, the present disclosure pertains to methods of mediating a gas evolution reaction by exposing a gas precursor to an electrocatalyst that comprises a plurality of layers with catalytic sites. The exposing results in electrocatalytic conversion of the gas precursor to a gas. Thereafter, the generated gas enhances the electrocatalytic activity of the electrocatalyst by enhancing the accessibility of the catalytic sites to the gas precursor. In some embodiments, the electrocatalyst is associated with an electrically conductive surface (e.g., an electrode) that provides electrical current. In some embodiments, the electrocatalyst is a hydrogen production electrocatalyst that converts H+ to H2. In some embodiments, the electrocatalyst includes a transition metal dichalcogenide. Further embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to the aforementioned electrocatalysts for mediating gas evolution reactions.
摘要翻译: 在一些实施方案中,本公开内容涉及通过将气体前体暴露于包含多个具有催化位点的层的电催化剂来介导气体放出反应的方法。 曝光导致气体前体向气体的电催化转化。 此后,产生的气体通过增强对气体前体的催化位点的可及性来提高电催化剂的电催化活性。 在一些实施例中,电催化剂与提供电流的导电表面(例如,电极)相关联。 在一些实施方案中,电催化剂是将H +转化为H 2的氢气生产电催化剂。 在一些实施方案中,电催化剂包括过渡金属二硫属化物。 本公开的另外的实施方案涉及上述用于介导气体放出反应的电催化剂。
