Synthesis of raspberry-like antimony-platinum (SbPt) nanoparticles as highly active electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction.

Binary transition metals can facilitate the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) through the synergistic integration of different electrochemical properties. To determine binary transition metals that are highly active, Greely et al. conducted a simulation of 256 different binary transition metals.

Colloidal synthesis of porous red phosphorus nanoparticles as a metal-free electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction.

Porous red phosphorus nanoparticles, P-RPNPs, were synthesized via a new colloidal approach and used as metal-free electrocatalysts in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). P-RPNPs were highly efficient in acidic media, required an overpotential of only 218 mV to reach 10 mA cm-2, and exhibited superior long-term durability.

The shape-controlled synthesis of gallium-palladium (GaPd) nanomaterials as high-performance electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction.

Recently, great efforts have been focused on developing more active and stable Pd-based electrocatalysts to partially or completely replace rare and costly Pt. We developed a facile hot injection method and successfully synthesized well-dispersed and shape-controlled GaPd2 nanomaterials including polyhedrons, nanoparticles and nanowires. All the as-synthesized catalysts exhibit superior HER activity compared to commercial pure Pd catalysts and are stable in acidic media.
