Three dimensional Ti3C2Tx and rGO hybrid supported Pt catalyst for the high performance hydrogen evolution reaction

The effective electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline aqueous is critical point to reduce energy losses for water electrolysis. Here, a highly active and stable electrochemical catalyst of platinum (Pt) nanoparticles loaded on three-dimensional Ti3C2Tx-reduced graphite oxide (rGO) hybrid support (Pt/Ti3C2Tx-rGO(3D)) has been developed for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The large surface of 3 D support provides an adequate site for deposition of Pt nanoparticles, leading to superior HER activity with low overpotential about 41 mV and better stability than Pt/C. This study offers a hybrid support for the development of highly active electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction.
