摘要:

日益严重的能源危机和环境污染问题使得探索清洁的可再生能源载体及减少对传统化石燃料的过度依赖成为人们面临的一项重要任务. 因此, 各种可持续能源如太阳能、风能、海洋能和生物质能等得到了广泛研究并取得了一定的进展. 然而, 这些能源因存在间歇性和不稳定性等缺点阻碍了其实际应用. 近年, 氢气作为一种能源载体, 以其高能量密度和无碳排放的优点引起了人们的广泛关注, 被认为是缓解日益严重的污染问题的最有前途的环保能源. 对比目前采用的天然气热解和煤炭气化等传统制氢策略, 电催化水裂解由于催化效率高, 制氢纯度高和不产生温室气体, 被认为是高效、环保、可持续的制氢策略. 电催化水裂解由两个独立的半反应组成, 分别是析氢反应和析氧反应. 析氢反应作为水裂解的一个半反应, 在降低制氢成本及提高产氢催化效率方面起着关键作用. 然而, 目前的核心问题之一是要开发高效的析氢电催化剂, 以加快反应速度. 目前, 铂和铂基纳米材料被认为是高效的析氢电催化剂, 但是其稀缺性和高成本阻碍了大规模实际应用. 金属磷化物由于具有较高的本征活性并且在不同的电解质中都具有良好的电催化析氢性能, 被证明是一种优良的析氢电催化剂. 此外, 与普通催化剂相比, 金属磷化电催化剂还具有合成简便、效率高、成本低、省时等优点.
本文详细介绍了近年人们在金属磷化物用于电催化析氢研究中取得的进展. 首先, 介绍了电催化析氢反应机理, 金属磷化物的结构及作用, 并对其优缺点进行了总结; 随后, 综述了金属磷化物的合成方法, 包括后处理、原位生成和电沉积策略, 并对不同方法进行了比较和讨论. 此外, 从元素掺杂、界面工程、空穴工程、修饰特定载体、构建特定纳米结构、设计双或多金属磷化物和其他发展的新方法等七个方面详细总结了促进金属磷化物电催化活性的多种策略, 并进行了对比和讨论. 最后, 归纳了金属磷化物在电催化析氢应用中存在的问题和面临的挑战, 并对未来的研究发展提出了展望.

Abstract:

Among the sustainable energy sources, hydrogen is the one most promising for alleviating the pollution issues related to the usage of conventional fuels, as it can be produced in an efficient and eco-friendly way via electrocatalytic water splitting. The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER, a half-reaction of water splitting) plays a pivotal role in decreasing the price and increasing the catalytic efficiency of hydrogen production and is efficiently promoted by metal phosphides in different electrolytes. Herein, we summarize the recent advances in the development of metal phosphides as HER electrocatalysts, focus on their synthesis (post-treatment, in situ generation, and electrodeposition methods) and the enhancement of their electrocatalytic activity (via elemental doping, interface and vacancy engineering, construction of specific supports and nanostructures, and the design of bi- or polymetallic phosphides), and highlight the crucial issues and challenges of future development.
