Abstract

Pd-supported copper phthalocyanine/metal organic frameworks (Pd@CuPc/MOF) composite was synthesized by the reaction between CuPc and MOF followed by electroless Pd plating. The structural properties of MOF, Pd@MOF and Pd@CuPc/MOF composite were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), simultaneous thermal analysis (STA), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The XRD, UV–vis and FTIR analyses showed that Pd was coated on CuPc/MOF composite. SEM and EDS results revealed that Pd nanoparticles were well-dispersed and anchored tightly on the composite. The thermal stability of MOF increased upon addition of Pd and CuPc. The electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of the synthesized materials was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Tafel analysis. The Tafel slope of the composite was 176.9 mV/dec and the transfer coefficient of 0.67 which is close to 0.5. The HER results revealed that the Pd@CuPc/MOF composite has better catalytic characteristic such as high catalytic activity and lowest onset potential compared to MOF. More importantly, the significant enhancement of HER performance at ambient temperature for the composite with Pd content can be ascribed to the hydrogen spillover mechanism in such system.
