Abstract
Atomic catalysts(ACs)have been considered as promising catalysts for efficient hydrogen production through water splitting.Herein,we report an AC with single Mn atoms highly dispersed on the surface of graphdiyne-coated copper hydroxide nanowire arrays(Mn-GDY/Cu(OH)x NWs).By anchoring Mn atoms on GDY,the specific surface area,the number of active sites,and the stability of catalyst are greatly improved.Detailed characteri-zations reveal that the high hydrogen and oxygen evolution reaction(HER/OER)catalytic activity of the catalyst is induced by strong incomplete charge transfer effect between the metal atoms and GDY.These advantages enable the electrocatalysts to drive a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at low overpotentials of 188 and 130 mV for OER and HER,respectively,together with excellent long-term stability.Remarkably,the alkaline electrolyzer using Mn-GDY/Cu(OH)x as both cathode and anode electrodes can reach 10 mA cm-2 only at a much low cell voltage of 1.50 V.
