We synthesized a tungsten titanium carbide (W2TiC2) MXene. By loading cobalt onto the surface of W2TiC2, we developed an effective and stable catalyst for an alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction. The catalyst exhibited a small overpotential of 63 mV at 10 mA/cm2 and a low Tafel slope of 44.3 mV/dec. At high current density of 100 mA/cm2 and 1000 mA/cm2, low overpotentials of 191 mV and 408 mV were achieved, outperforming commercial Pt/C electrodes. Under both current ranges, our catalyst exhibited excellent stability of 500 h at 10 mA/cm2 and for 100 h at 1000 mA/cm2 without any degradation. In flow cell tests, by pairing with Ni foam, our catalyst required much lower cell voltage than commercial Ni foam Pt/C and maintained ̃100% H2 faradaic efficiency over 15 h of continuous tests from 50 to 400 mA/cm2. Under more demanding industry-level conditions, the catalyst maintains the incredible performance, exhibiting an excellent stability of at least 1000 h at 4000 mA cm−2 in 1 M KOH.

The invention relates to the coating of cation exchange membranes with catalytically active substances. The catalytically actively coated cation exchange membranes are used in electrochemical cells, especially in fuel cells (proton exchange membrane fuel cells - PEMFC) or in electrolysers for water electrolysis (polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis - PEMWE). In order to counteract the disadvantages of conventional decal processes, an alterative process for coating cation exchange membranes was sought which enables the transfer of electrocatalysts without the need for high temperatures, high pressures and PFAS-based substrates. It was surprisingly found that catalyst layers which are treated, shortly before the transfer step, with a polymer-swelling solvent conducting the cations can be transferred far more easily.
