It is still a lack of bifunctional catalysts for ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to their different reaction mechanisms. In this work, P is doped into PtZn alloy by calcination with NaH2PO2 as P source to induce the lattice tensile strain of Pt and the electronic interaction between P and Zn, which optimizes the AOR and HER activity simultaneously. The sample with the optimal P content can drive the AOR peak current density of 293.6 mA·mgPt−1, which is almost 2.7 times of Pt. For HER, the overpotential at −10 mA·cm−2 is only 23 mV with Tafel slope of 34.1 mV·dec−1. Furthermore, only 0.59 V is needed to obtain 50 mA·mgPt−1 for ammonia electrolysis under a two-electrode system. Therefore, this work shows an ingenious method to design bifunctional catalysts for ammonia electrolysis.

双功能间隙磷掺杂策略促进铂锌合金高效氨氧化反应和析氢反应
由于氨氧化反应(AOR)和析氢反应(HER)反应机理不同,目前仍缺乏双功能催化剂。本工作以NaH 2 PO 2作为P源,通过煅烧将P掺杂到PtZn合金中,诱导Pt的晶格拉伸应变以及P和Zn之间的电子相互作用,从而同时优化AOR和HER活性。具有最佳P含量的样品可以驱动AOR峰值电流密度为293.6 mA·mg Pt -1,几乎是Pt的2.7倍。对于HER,-10 mA·cm -2时的过电势仅为23 mV,塔菲尔斜率为34.1 mV·dec -1。此外,仅需0.59 V即可获得50 mA·mg Pt -1用于双电极系统下的氨电解。因此,这项工作展示了一种设计用于氨电解的双功能催化剂的巧妙方法。
