Abstract
AbstractDespite the fact that d‐band center theory links the d electron structure of transition metals to their catalytic activity, it is yet unknown how the synergistic effect of multi‐d electrons impacts catalytic performance. Herein, novel LaNi1‐xCoxRu intermetallics containing 5d, 4d, and 3d electrons were prepared. In these compounds, the 5d orbital of La transfers electrons to the 4d orbital of Ru, which provides adsorption sites for H*. The 3d orbitals of Ni and Co interact with the 5d and 4d orbitals to generate an anisotropic electron distribution, which facilitates the adsorption and desorption of OH*. The synergistic effect of multi‐d electrons ensures efficient catalytic activity. The optimized LaNi0.5Co0.5Ru has an overpotential of 43mV at 10 mA cm−2 for alkaline electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction. Beyond offering a variety of new electrocatalysts, this work reveals the multi‐d electron synergy in promoting catalytic reaction.
