The competitive adsorption of organic molecules (2,7-naphthalenedisulfonic acid) and adsorbed His of interest in relation to its influence on H absorption into a Pd-Ni electrodeposited alloy. The experimental results, in acid solution, show an enhancement of the coverage of the electrode surface with adsorbed H due to the competitive adsorption of organic molecules that interfere with H atoms, through lateral attractive interactions between the adsorbed species and communal electronic effects, leading supposedly to a decreased probability of H entry into the alloy. Chemisorbed H is, on the other hand, an intermediate in the HER, so the enhancement of the electrode coverage in the presence of co-adsorbed organic molecules promotes the hydrogen evolution reaction.

The theory for the electrochemical impedance of surface reactions involving a single adsorbed species is presented. A new methodology is used, in which many harmonics are considered, and the differential equations are reduced to algebraic matrix equations. The amplitude of the ac potential perturbation is not assumed to be small, and nonlinear effects are taken into account. The amplitude dependence of the impedance and the second-harmonic response are investigated. The quasi-reversible electrosorption reaction and the hydrogen evolution reaction are considered in detail, assuming that the adsorbed species obeys the Langmuir isotherm. Keywords: electrochemistry, impedance, adsorption, hydrogen evolution reaction, second harmonic.

2D MXenes have been found to be one of the most promising catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to their excellent electronic conductivity, hydrophilic nature, porosity and stability. Nonmetallic (NM) element doping is an effective approach to enhance the HER catalytic performance. By using the density functional theory (DFT) method, we researched the effect of nonmetallic doping (different element types, variable doping concentrations) and optimal hydrogen absorption concentration on the surface of NM-Ti3C2O2 for HER catalytic activity and stability. The calculation results show that doping nonmetallic elements can improve their HER catalytic properties; the P element dopants catalyst especially exhibits remarkable HER performance (∆GH = 0.008 eV when the P element doping concentration is 100% and the hydrogen absorption is 75%). The origin mechanism of the regulation of doping on stability and catalytic activity was analyzed by electronic structures. The results of this work proved that by controlling the doping elements and their concentrations we can tune the catalytic activity, which will accelerate the further research of HER catalysts.
