Non-thermal plasma restructuring of electrocatalyst surfaces for efficient hydrogen and oxygen reactions

CQChu QinZTZhenglong TaoXWXuanhao Wu

Key Points

  • This research focuses on improving the efficiency of electrocatalysts by restructuring their surfaces using non-thermal plasma.
  • Utilized low-temperature plasma for surface treatment of electrocatalysts.
  • Examined the effects of plasma treatment on electrocatalyst surface properties.
  • Analyzed the performance in hydrogen and oxygen reactions post-treatment.
  • Surface restructuring led to enhanced electrocatalytic activity.
  • Observed improved efficiency in hydrogen and oxygen reactions after plasma treatment.
  • Demonstrated effective alteration of surface morphology on a nanometer scale.

Abstract

Electrocatalysts for water electrolysis, fuel cells, and metal–air batteries are largely governed by processes occurring within the outermost few nanometres of their surface. Low-temperature plasmas provide an effective means to...
