How the Arrangement of Platinum Atoms on Ruthenium Nanoparticles Improves Hydrogen Evolution Activity

The platinum‐ruthenium (PtRu) system is highly active for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media with both Pt and Ru playing active roles in the water dissociation step that generates adsorbed hydrogen atoms. Precise control of the arrangement of Pt atoms on Ru nanoparticles can maximize the Pt‐Ru sites for water dissociation and Pt‐Pt sites for hydrogen production and can considerably improve HER catalytic performance. By directing the growth and distribution of Pt on Ru hourglass nanoparticles, the arrangement of Pt on Ru is controlled into forming Pt islands, small Pt clusters, and strings of a few Pt atoms. Calculations show that the unique atomic string arrangements of Pt on Ru is the thermodynamically favorable configuration. Additionally, these strings have a favorable combination of Pt‐Ru and Pt‐Pt sites, making the Pt‐string on Ru the most active catalyst with a more than fivefold increase in turnover frequency for alkaline HER compared to the Pt‐island on Ru catalyst. The results show how controlling the Pt atomic arrangement on Ru nanoparticle surfaces for the tuning of Pt‐Pt and Pt‐Ru neighboring sites can direct toward a more efficient HER mechanism and thereby significantly enhancing HER performance.

Synergistic ruthenium single-atom and nanoparticles in nickel as cooperative catalysts for the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction

Efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts that reduce the use of noble metals and can be synthesized on a large scale are essential for advancing anion exchange membrane water electrolyzers (AEMWEs) toward commercialization. Herein, we present a composite catalyst in which Ru nanoparticles coexist with Ru single-atom alloys (SAAs) dispersed within Ni nanoparticles (Ru-SAA/Ni), creating a highly active HER electrocatalyst. Using a one-pot and scalable synthesis method, we can tune the material composition from SAA, i.e. materials containing atomically dispersed Ru atoms (with ≤0.4 at% Ru) to composite structures in which SAAs coexist with Ru NPs. Comprehensive characterization using XPS, XAS, and TEM confirms Ru-SAA formation at a low Ru content and composite structures at higher contents. Electrochemical evaluations conducted in a three-electrode setup reveal that Ru-SAA/Ni composites achieve HER performance on par with that of Pt/C. Computational insights suggest that water dissociation is significantly faster at the Ru/Ni interface compared with that on extended surfaces. These active sites are thermodynamically as active as basal planes, preventing the excessive accumulation of reaction intermediates (H*, OH*). All these results highlight the synergistic interaction between Ru SAAs and Ru nanoparticles and their potential for large-scale applications with minimal use of precious metals. Finally, the materials are processed and tested in AEMWEs, achieving 1.85 V at 0.5 A cm −2 with a total noble metal loading of only 0.1 mg cm −2 .
