Abstract
The 3D morphology of hierarchically structured electrocatalytic systems is determined based on multi-scale X-ray computed tomography (XCT), and the crystalline structure of electrocatalyst nanoparticles is characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), supported by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and spatially resolved near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) studies. The high electrocatalytic efficiency for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of a novel transition-metal-based material system – MoNi4 electrocatalysts anchored on MoO2 cuboids aligned on Ni foam (MoNi4/MoO2@Ni) – is based on advantageous crystalline structures and chemical bonding. High-resolution TEM images and selected-area electron diffraction patterns are used to determine the crystalline structures of MoO2 and MoNi4. Multi-scale XCT provides 3D information of the hierarchical morphology of the MoNi4/MoO2@Ni material system nondestructively: Micro-XCT images clearly resolve the Ni foam and the attached needle-like MoO2 micro cuboids. Laboratory nano-XCT shows that the MoO2 micro cuboids with a rectangular cross-section of 0.5 × 1 µm2 and a length of 10–20 µm are vertically arranged on the Ni foam. MoNi4 nanoparticles with a size of 20–100 nm, positioned on single MoO2 cuboids, were imaged using synchrotron radiation nano-XCT. The application of a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) significantly improves the reconstruction quality of the acquired data.
