Construction of a Ru@WO3−x–W catalyst with hydrogen spillover effect toward ampere-level hydrogen evolution in acidic solution

Abstract

A Ru@WO3−x–W/TM catalyst with WO3−x(surface)–W(bulk) structure was carefully designed and prepared. Compared with W or WO3 support, the presence of WO3−x–W modifies the electronic structure, optimizes H adsorption/desorption and promotes hydrogen spillover with Ru. The Ru@WO3−x–W/TM catalyst can generate an industrial HER current density of 1204 mA cm−2 in an acidic system.
