摘要
One-dimensional ultrathin nanowires(NWs)offer a great deal of promising properties for electrochemical energy storage and conversion due to their nanoscale confinement effect and high surface-to-volume ratios.It is highly desirable to precisely design and synthesize ultrathin Ti_(3)C_(2)NWs in the aspect of size,crystalline structure and composition.Here,we report a simple alkalization strategy to design the ultrathin Ti_(3)C_(2)NWs for hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)by modulating the surface-active sites.The design principle can well improve the amount of the defect sites and ion accessibility to increase the interactions between Ti_(3)C_(2)NWs and H^(*).The optimized Ti_(3)C_(2)NWs achieve an overpotential of 476 mV at the current density of 10 mA/cm^(2)and a Tafel slope of 129 mV/dec for HER catalysis,which are superior to that of Ti_(3)C_(2)nanosheets and m-Ti_(3)C_(2).It paves an avenue for the rational transformation of MXene bulks to one-dimensional NWs catalysts for HER.
