Preparation of porous carbon nanowires for hydrogen evolution reaction

Abstract Hydrogen for clean energy resources has attracted more and attention, water splitting hydrogen production also been widely studied. Electrocatalysis is considered the most efficient method production. In this work, we prepared a metal-free porous carbon nanowires catalyst with an electrostatic spinning using granular poly styrol as precursor zinc chloride activating agent forming structure. The obtained catalysts exhibited plentiful structure SSA value, which beneficial catalyzing evolution reactions. up to 329 m 2 g −1 , OP value at 10 mA·cm −2 386 mV. materials presented good stability reaction.
