| Résumé: | © 2021 Wiley-VCH GmbH. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with intrinsically porous structures and well-dispersed metal sites are promising candidates for electrocatalysis; however, the catalytic efficiencies of most MOFs are significantly limited by their impertinent adsorption/desorption energy of intermediates formed during electrocatalysis and very low electrical conductivity. Herein, Co is introduced into conductive Cu-catecholate (Cu-CAT) nanorod arrays directly grown on a flexible carbon cloth for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Electrochemical results show that the Co-incorporated Cu-CAT nanorod arrays only need 52 and 143 mV overpotentials to drive a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline and neutral media for HER, respectively, much lower than most of the reported non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts and comparable to the benchmark Pt/C electrocatalyst. Density functional theory calculations show that the introduction of Co can optimize the adsorption energy of hydrogen (ΔGH* ) of Cu sites, almost close to that of Pt (111). Furthermore, the adsorption energy of water ( Δ E H 2 O ) of Co sites in the CuCo-CAT is significantly lower than that of Cu sites upon coupling Cu with Co, effectively accelerating the Volmer step in the HER process. The findings, synergistic effect of bimetals, open a new avenue for the rational design of highly efficient MOF-based electrocatalysts |
