It is of great importance to develop highly efficient and stable Pt-free catalysts for electrochem. hydrogen generation from water electrolysis. Here, monodisperse 7.5 nm copper-doped ruthenium hollow nanoparticles (NPs) with abundant defects and amorphous/crystalline hetero-phases were prepared and employed as efficient hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts in alk. electrolyte. Specifically, these NPs only require a low overpotential of 25 mV to achieve a c.d. of 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH and show acceptable stability after 2000 potential cycles, which represents one of the best Ru-based electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution. Mechanism anal. indicates that Cu incorporation can modify the electronic structure of Ru shell, thereby optimizing the energy barrier for water adsorption and dissociation processes or H adsorption/desorption. Cu doping paired with the defect-rich and highly open hollow structure of the NPs greatly enhances hydrogen evolution activity. In addition to this study using Bis(acetylacetone)copper, there are many other studies that have used Bis(acetylacetone)copper(cas: 13395-16-9Electric Literature of C10H16CuO4) was used in this study.
Bis(acetylacetone)copper(cas: 13395-16-9) is used as PVC stabilizer, and curing agents for epoxy resins, acrylic adhesives and silicone rubbers. It is also used as solvents, lubricant additives, paint drier, and pesticides.Electric Literature of C10H16CuO4
