Abstract | Hydrogen energy is regarded as the clean energy alternative for fossil energy. Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a sustainable way for the production of hydrogen energy. However, commercial platinum (Pt) catalysts for HER are expensive and scarce, which will not fully meet the demand of the future market. Therefore, scientists have been actively exploring alternatives to Pt-based catalysts. Studies have shown that palladium (Pd) and Pt have similar catalytic activity in HER. Small molecular Pd nanoclusters can be used as a perfect HER activity center. Herein, anchoring of Pd nanoclusters (Pd NCs) on sulfur-vacancy-enriched ZnIn2S4 nanosheets (Pd/ZIS-T) has been successfully achieved. The zeta potential value for ZnIn2S4 is −59.9 mV, indicating that the surface of ZnIn2S4 is abundant negatively charged in deionized water, thus providing plentiful anchoring sites to absorb Pd2+. The results show that the synergistic effect of Pd NCs and sulfur vacancies will endow the obtained catalyst with excellent electrocatalytic activity and stability. It also managed to reducing costs by reducing noble metal content. In particular, the Pd/ZIS-T electrocatalyst with excellent performance delivered low overpotential of 25 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and small Tafel slope of 33 mV dec-1 in acidic electrolyte. © 2023 Elsevier B.V. |
