Abstract
A method for generating hydrogen including contacting a catalyst with a proton source, the catalyst having a catalytic component with a first surface comprising a plurality of catalytic sites and a carbon component provided as a layer on the first surface, wherein the carbon component comprises a plurality of pores. Also provided are catalysts for catalyzing the hydrogen evolution reaction and methods of making the same.
Claims12
A catalyst for hydrogen generation, the catalyst comprising:
- a catalytic component having a first surface, the first surface comprising a plurality of catalytic sites, wherein the catalytic component consists of nickel, and
- a carbon component provided as a layer on the first surface, wherein the carbon component comprises a plurality of pores,
- wherein the carbon component interacts with the first surface via forces such that the carbon component is provided a first distance from the first surface,
- wherein the first distance is sufficient for a presence or passage of hydrogen between the catalytic component and the carbon component, and
- wherein the carbon component consists of graphene.
