General Synergistic Capture-Bonding Superassembly of Atomically Dispersed Catalysts on Micropore-Vacancy Frameworks.

Atomically dispersed catalysts are a new type of material in the field of catalysis science, yet their large-scale synthesis under mild conditions remains challenging. Here, a general synergistic capture-bonding superassembly strategy to obtain atomically dispersed Pt (Ru, Au, Pd, Ir, and Rh)-based catalysts on micropore-vacancy frameworks at a mild temperature of 60 °C is reported. The precise capture via narrow pores and the stable bonding of vacancies not only simplify the synthesis process of atomically dispersed catalysts but also realize their large-scale preparation at mild temperature. The prepared atomically dispersed Pt-based catalyst possesses a promising electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution, showing an activity (at overpotential of 50 mV) about 21.4 and 20.8 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C catalyst in 1.0 M KOH and 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 , respectively. Besides, the extremely long operational stability of more than 100 h provides more potential for its practical application.
