The development of lowcost, highly active, stable, and easily synthesized catalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions(HER) remains a significant challenge. This study explored the synthesis of nitrogen-doped MXene-based composite catalysts for enhanced HER performance. By thermally decomposing RuCl_(3) coordinated with melamine and formaldehyde resin, we successfully introduced nitrogen-doped carbon(N–C) with highly dispersed ruthenium(Ru) onto the MXene surface. The calcination temperature played a crucial role in controlling the size of Ru nanoparticles(Ru NPs) and the proportion of Ru single-atom(Ru SA), thereby facilitating the synergistic enhancement of HER performance by Ru NPs and Ru SA. The resulting catalyst prepared with a calcination temperature of 600℃, Ti_(3)C_(2)T_x-N/C-Ru-600(TNCR-600), exhibited exceptional HER activity(η10= 17 m V) and stability(160 h) under alkaline conditions. This work presented a simple and effective strategy for synthesizing composite catalysts, offering new insights into the design and regulation of high-performance Ru-based catalysts for hydrogen production.展开更多

The examined compounds are represented as (YPh)3TPO2Cu, where TPO2 is a dianion of the tripyrrinone and Y is a CH3O, CH3, H or CI substituent on the para-position of each phenyl ring of the compound. The neutral compounds are ESR active and show a typical d9 Cu(II) signal in frozen CH2C12 solution. Each Cu(II) compound undergoes three reductions between -0.61 and -1.90 V and two oxidations between 1.00 and 1.24 V in CH2Cl2 containing 0.1 mol/L tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate. The potentials for oxidation are similar to those of copper tetraarylporphyrins but the reduction potentials are positively shifted as compared to the corresponding tetraarylporphyrins. Thus, the potential difference between the first one-electron oxidation and first one-electron reduction (the HOMO-LUMO gap) of (YPh)3TPO2Cu, which ranges from 1.68 to 1.75 V, is similar to that of copper corroles (1.73-1.85 V), but smaller than the separation of 2.30-2.37 V for the copper tetraarylporphyrins under the same solution conditions.展开更多
