AI Article Synopsis
- The study describes how MoRu solid-solution alloy nanoparticles are created using thermal decomposition of carbonyl complexes.
- Combining ruthenium (Ru) with molybdenum (Mo) alters the electronic structure of the nanoparticles.
- This modification significantly boosts their catalytic performance for hydrogen evolution, surpassing that of traditional platinum (Pt) catalysts.
Article Abstract
We report the synthesis of MoRu solid-solution alloy nanoparticles using carbonyl complexes as a precursor through thermal decomposition. Alloying Ru with an early transition metal, Mo, leads to an electronic structure change, resulting in an enhancement of the catalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction, which overtook that of the Pt catalyst.
