- Abstract
- Effort to find efficient catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) continue due to the high cost and scarcity of Pt catalyst. This study centers on electrodeposited CoMoP, a transition metal -based catalyst, with a focus on augmenting its active sites. The Cu nanowires serve as a template, not only expanding the surface area of CoMoP but also aiding in electron acceptance due to their excellent electrical conductivity. Consequently, the surface area experiences an approximate 2.1 -fold increase compared to the case without nanowires. Furthermore, the CoMoP on Cu nanowires exhibits a heterostructure with crystalline and amorphous phases, enhancing electrical conductivity and exposing active sites. This distinctive configuration facilitates the transfer of protons and electrons, thereby improving the electrocatalytic activity. As a result of this enhanced activity, the catalyst demonstrates fairly low overpotentials for HER in both alkaline and acidic conditions. At current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm -2 in alkaline environment, it only needs 32 and 117 mV, respectively. Similarly, in acidic environment, the overpotentials are 55 and 112 mV at 10 and 100 mA cm -2, respectively. The catalyst also shows good stability under both conditions.
