Electrospun Ru-RuO 2 /MoO 3 carbon nanorods with multi-active components: a Pt-like catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction

Ru, RuO2 and MoO3 embedded carbon nanorods (Ru-RuO2/MoO3 CNRs) were synthesized through electrospinning and low-temperature calcination. Results of comprehensive characterizations suggest that the strong interaction between Ru and Mo species, large electrochemical surface area, and high electrical c...

Summary:Ru, RuO2 and MoO3 embedded carbon nanorods (Ru-RuO2/MoO3 CNRs) were synthesized through electrospinning and low-temperature calcination. Results of comprehensive characterizations suggest that the strong interaction between Ru and Mo species, large electrochemical surface area, and high electrical conductivity (a proper ratio of RuO2 to Ru) endow Ru-RuO2/MoO3 CNRs-350 with excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance.
