AbstractIn the problem of electrochemical CO2 reduction, the discovery of earth-abundant, efficient, and selective catalysts is essential to enabling technology that can contribute to a carbon-neutral energy cycle. In this study, we adapt an optical high throughput screening method to study multi-metallic catalysts for CO2 electroreduction. We demonstrate the utility of the method by constructing catalytic activity maps of different alloyed elements and use X-ray scattering analysis by the atomic pair distribution function (PDF) method to gain insight into the structures of the most active compositions. Among combinations of four elements (Au, Ag, Cu, Zn), Au6Ag2Cu2 and Au4Zn3Cu3 were identified as the most active compositions in their respective ternaries. These ternary electrocatalysts were more active than any binary combination, and a ca. 5-fold increase in current density at potentials of −0.4 to −0.8 V vs. RHE was obtained for the best ternary catalysts relative to Au prepared by the same method. Tafel plots of electrochemical data for CO2 reduction and hydrogen evolution indicate that the ternary catalysts, despite their higher surface area, are poorer catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction than pure Au. This results in high Faradaic efficiency for CO2 reduction to CO.

AbstractHere, we report a density functional theory (DFT)-based high-throughput screening method to successfully identify a type of alloy nanoclusters as the electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Totally 7924 candidates of Cu-based alloy clusters of Cu55-nMn (M = Co, Ni, Ru, and Rh) are optimized and evaluated to screening for the promising catalysts. By comparing different structural patterns, Cu-based alloy clusters prefer the core–shell structures with the dopant metal in the core and Cu as the shell atoms. Generally speaking, the HER performance of the Cu-based nanoclusters can be significantly improved by doping transition metals, and the active sites are the bridge sites and three-fold sites on the outer-shell Cu atoms. Considering the structural stability and the electrochemical activity, core–shell CuNi alloy clusters are suggested to be the superior electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution. A descriptor composing of surface charge is proposed to efficiently evaluate the HER activity of the alloy clusters supported by the DFT calculations and machine-learning techniques. Our screening strategy could accelerate the pace of discovery for promising HER electrocatalysts using metal alloy nanoclusters.
