Abstract

Abstract: A highly efficient bifunctional metal‐free catalyst was prepared by growth of three‐dimensional porous fluorographdiyne networks on carbon cloth (p‐FGDY/CC). Our experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations show the 3D p‐FGDY/CC network is highly active and it is a high potential metal‐free catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), as well as overall water splitting (OWS) under both acidic and alkaline conditions. The experimental and theoretical results show very good consistency; for example, in the HER process, p‐FGDY/CC exhibits small overpotentials of 82 and 92 mV to achieve 10 mA cm −2 under alkaline and acidic conditions, respectively. This ensures an even higher selectivity for the adsorption/desorption of various O/H intermediate species. The essential key promotion accomplishes a bifunctional H2 O redox performance application under pH‐universal electrochemical conditions. Abstract : Fein justierte Energieniveaus : Ein dreidimensionales poröses Fluorgraphdiin‐Netzwerk auf einem Kohletuch fungiert als aktiver metallfreier Katalysator für die Wasserstoff‐ (HER) und Sauerstoffentwicklung (OER) sowie Wasserspaltung unter sauren und basischen Bedingungen. Die starken F‐C‐Bindungen modifizieren die lokale p‐p‐Kopplung, was den Besetzungsgrad der Orbitale beeinflusst.
