HER catalytic activity and regulation of a transition metal atom-anchored BC3 monolayer: a first-principles study
Literature Information
Liying Pan, Xuxin Kang
An atomic-level understanding of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) on a transition metal (TM) atom-anchored 2D monolayer is vital to explore highly efficient catalysts for hydrogen production. Here, the catalytic activities and modulation of TM atom (Ti, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mo, Ag, Au)-doped BC3 monolayers are investigated by first-principles calculations. Au@BC3 and Fe@BC3 are proven to be potentially excellent HER catalysts. Partial oxidation engineering on Zn@BC3 could improve its performance. Au@BC3 and Ti, Cu and Mo-anchored BC3 with the support of a NbB2 (0001) surface are expected to replace Pt due to the Gibbs free energy changes extremely close to zero. It is revealed that the catalytic activity of the adsorption site is highly related to the degree of charge transfer between the adsorption site and substrate.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
