研究目的
Investigating the use of free-standing macro- and microscale transition metal dichalcogenide substrates as effective bipolar electrodes without the need of using an additional conducting support.
研究成果
Free-standing inorganic metal dichalcogenide crystals can be used as efficient bipolar electrodes in an open-cell configuration, demonstrating superior efficiency towards hydrogen evolution reaction compared to carbon substrates. The collective addressing of MoSe2 microparticles enables accelerated electrolysis of organic compounds.
研究不足
The study is limited to MoSe2 as a model transition metal dichalcogenide and does not explore other materials. The bulk electrolysis experiment's quantitative estimation of conversion is challenging due to the presence of MoSe2 microparticles.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs bipolar electrochemistry to achieve site-selective electrodeposition of metals on MoSe2 substrates and to demonstrate the superior efficiency of MoSe2 towards hydrogen evolution reaction compared to carbon substrates.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Macroscale MoSe2 sheets and microscale MoSe2 polycrystallites were used as samples.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A cell with two feeder electrodes connected by a glass capillary, power supplies (Keithley 6517 electrometer and Heinzinger PNC 10000 – 200), optical imaging equipment, and various metal precursors (HAuCl4, Ag2SO4, CuSO4, NiSO4).
4:4). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The substrates were immersed in solutions containing metal precursors or NaCl and submitted to electric fields to observe metal deposition or hydrogen bubble formation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Optical imaging was used to visualize the results, and conventional cyclic voltammetry was employed to compare the electrocatalytic activity of MoSe2 and carbon.
