摘要:

Carbon-covered tungsten carbide nanoparticles(cc-WCNPs) were prepared via a one-step solid-state reaction between W(CO)6 and triphenylamine at 850℃ under a sealed Ar atmosphere. As novel electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER), cc-WCNPs exhibit an onset potential of -0.14 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode(RHE) and a Tafel slope of 64.6 mV/dec in a 0.5 mol/L H2SO4 solution. Additionally, these cc-WCNPs catalysts also show excellent electrocatalytic stability after 1000 cycles.
