Rational design of MXene-based vacancy-confined single-atom catalyst for efficient oxygen evolution reaction

Two-dimensional transition metal carbides(MXenes)have been demonstrated to be promising supports for single-atom catalysts(SACs)to enable efficient oxygen evolution reaction(OER).However,the rational design of MXene-based SACs depends on an experimental trial-and-error approach.A theoretical guidance principle is highly expected for the efficient evaluation of MXene-based SACs.Herein,high-throughput screening was performed through first-principles calculations and machine learning tech-niques.Ti3C2(OH)x,V3C2(OH)x,Zr3C2(OH)x,Nb3C2(OH)x,Hf3C2(OH)x,Ta3C2(OH)x,and W3C2(OH)x were screened out based on their excellent stability.Zn,Pd,Ag,Cd,Au,and Hg were proposed to be promising single atoms anchored in MXenes based on cohesive energy analysis.Hf3C2(OH)x with a Pd single atom delivers a theoretical overpotential of 81 mV.Both moderate electron-deficient state and high covalency of metal-carbon bonds were critical features for the high OER reactivity.This principle is expected to be a promising approach to the rational design of OER catalysts for metal-air batteries,fuel cells,and other OER-based energy storage devices.
