Abstract

Ferroferric oxide-based electrocatalysts are widely applied as hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts due to their low cost and good electrical conductivity, but they tend to exhibit slow hydrogen adsorption kinetics for HER and poison by corrosive Cl– for alkaline seawater splitting. In this regard, we report a nanosheet-like HER catalyst constructed by decorating Fe3O4 with Ru and P dual doping (Ru/P–Fe3O4@IF). In situ characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that the resulting Ru/P–Fe3O4@IF catalyst shows enhanced hydrogen adsorption strength and hydrogen coverage with a thermal neutral free energy of adsorbed H (ΔGH*) due to Ru and P dual doping modulating the…
