1 Introduction

hydrogen production by water electrolysis using renewable energy(such as solar energy,wind energy and biomass energy)is a clean and carbon-free hydrogen production method,but the technology of hydrogen production by water electrolysis faces the problems of high energy consumption and low efficiency[1~3]。 An effective way to solve this problem is to use hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic materials to reduce the overpotential of the electrolysis process.At present,the commonly used hydrogen evolution catalyst materials are mainly precious metals such as Pd,Pt and their alloys,but these materials are difficult to promote because of their low reserves and high price,so it is urgent to develop non-precious metal hydrogen evolution catalyst materials with high catalytic activity,high conductivity,low cost and good stability to replace platinum group precious metals。
Graphene is a hexagonal planar crystal in which carbon atoms are hybridized by sp2and arranged in a honeycomb pattern.Since its discovery by Novoselov in 2004,it has been a hot field of scientific research[4][5~7]。 graphene has shown broad application prospects in HER electrocatalytic materials due to its large specific surface area,excellent conductivity,good stability,tunable electronic structure,and easy modification of structure and surface state.According to statistics,in the past five years(2018-2022),3730 SCI papers related to hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic materials containing graphene in acidic media have been published,showing a steady upward trend year by year(Figure 1).in these reports,the characteristics of graphene were used to make graphene play different roles in hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts by electronic structure control and morphology control.based on their different intrinsic mechanisms,graphene electrocatalytic materials for hydrogen evolution can be divided into the following four types:(1)intrinsic graphene-supported HER electrocatalysts,which are used as supports for catalytic active substances to improve charge transport properties;(2)an activated graphene-based HER electrocatalyst which activates the catalytic activity of the graphene surface through functionalization and catalyzes synergistically with a catalytic active substance;(3)a graphene-based HER electrocatalyst with a heterostructure for synergistic catalysis;(4)graphene-based HER electrocatalytic materials with improved dispersion of catalytic active substances and charge transport properties by constructing different forms of graphene.in terms of the number of SCI papers of various types in the past five years,the number of SCI papers on morphologically constructed graphene-based hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic materials is the largest。

in this paper,the research progress of the above different types of graphene-based HER electrocatalysts is reviewed In detail。

2 Graphene supported HER electrocatalyst

The surface structure of intrinsic graphene is very stable,chemically inert,weakly adsorbs hydrogen protons,and has almost no catalytic activity.The hydrogen evolution reaction test showed that the overpotential of the catalyst was 746 mV at the current density of 10 mA/cm2,and the catalyst had almost no HER activity and could not be directly used as a catalyst activator[8]。 However,graphene has an ultra-large specific surface area(2600 m2/g)and excellent conductivity(5×106~6.4×106S/m),which can be used as an ideal carrier for electrocatalytic active agents[9][10]。 Anchoring the active catalyst on the graphene surface can not only control the morphology and microstructure of the active catalyst to expose more active sites,but also promote the kinetic effect of the catalytic reaction to improve the hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic performance。
graphene(Gr),graphene oxide(GO)and redox graphene(rGO)are widely used at present[11]。 Among them,graphene has the best conductivity.However,theπ-conjugated electronic structure of GO containing a large number of oxygen-containing functional groups is destroyed,which deteriorates its conductivity.the conductivity of rGO is also lower than that of ideal Gr due to the residual small amount of oxygen-containing functional groups and structural defects,which destroy the two-dimensionalπ-conjugated electronic structure in graphene[12~14]。 Therefore,from the point of view of utilizing the conductivity of graphene,Gr without defects to support catalytically active species is the best choice.However,due to the strong van der Waals force andπ-πbond interaction between graphene sheets,it is easy to gather together,which is not conducive to the dispersion of catalytic active substances and the transmission of electrons,so it is seldom used as a carrier of hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic active substances[15]。 the surface of GO and rGO contains functional groups and lattice structure defects,which is conducive to the loading of hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic active components on the surface of graphene,and is often used as a support material for the growth and dispersion of metal or non-precious metal compounds electrocatalytic active substances[16]

2.1 Supported metal

Most of the metal catalysts that can be used stably in acidic medium are noble metals such as Pt.How to increase the dispersion of Pt and reduce the dosage is the focus of current research.Pt loading on the graphene surface is an effective strategy to achieve this goal.Xu et al.Prepared Pt-CNSs/rGO nanocomposites by loading Pt nanocubes(Pt-CNSS)on rGO(Fig.2),and found that the loading of rGO contributed to the significant improvement of HER catalytic activity and stability[17]。 This is mainly attributed to the excellent conductivity and high dispersion of rGO.Du et al.Reported a one-step chemical reduction procedure for the preparation of Pt-Ni nanoparticles supported on rGO[18]。 The as-prepared sample exhibited better HER activity than Ni/rGO。

Single-atom catalysts(SACs),which can maximize the utilization of atoms and present activity,selectivity,and stability significantly different from conventional nanocatalysts,have become the frontier of research in recent years,improving HER performance to an unprecedented level[19][20,21]。 single-atom catalyst is a special supported metal catalyst,and it has been proved that graphene is an ideal support material for this task,which can not only support and disperse its Single atom,but also adjust the surface properties of the supported metal,thus enhancing the number of active sites[22]。 Sun et al.Dispersed Pt atom clusters on N-doped graphene,and achieved higher electrocatalytic activity than single-atom cluster catalysts after 4000 cycles and more than 16 H of HER in acidic solution[23]。 Qiu et al.Anchored single-atom Ni on three-dimensional nanoporous graphene,and found that the material has excellent HER electrocatalysis compared with traditional Ni-based catalysts and graphene,with a low overpotential of about 50 mV and a Tafel slope of 45 mV·dec-1in 0.5 mol·L-1H2SO4solution and excellent cycling stability[24]。 It is believed that the unusual electrocatalytic performance of the catalyst is mainly due to the catalytic activity and electrochemical stability caused by the sp-d orbital charge transfer between Ni and the surrounding carbon atoms。

2.2 Supported non-noble metal compound

non-precious metal compounds such as sulfides,phosphides,selenides and carbides have become the most widely studied alternative to precious metal catalysts in recent years because of their high catalytic activity and stability.Nanoscale Non-noble metal compounds provide a large number of exposed active sites,but their poor dispersion and low conductivity greatly limit their application[25]。 The above problem can be effectively solved by using graphene to support the compound.On the one hand,the non-noble metal compounds grown on the graphene matrix have smaller particle size and good dispersion,thus exposing more abundant catalytic active sites.On the other hand,the strong interaction between metal ions and C atoms of graphene promotes charge transport and has better electrocatalytic kinetic performance for hydrogen evolution.Li et al.Synthesized MoS2nanoparticles on rGO sheets[26]。 It is found that the MoS2nanoparticles stacked on graphene are few-layer structures with a large number of exposed edges,as shown in Fig.3,in strong contrast to the freely grown large aggregated MoS2particles.Due to the abundant catalytic edge sites on the MoS2nanoparticles and the good electrical coupling with the support graphene,the material exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity in HER reaction.Gnanasekar et al.Used chemical vapor deposition to prepare vertically grown MoS2nanosheets with a large number of edge catalytic activities on graphene and reached a similar conclusion[27]。 Kumar et al.Further compared the effects of support rGO and GO from the Tafel slope,and found that rGO improved the hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic performance of MoS2more significantly than GO[28]。 It is found that the distribution of catalytic active species on the graphene sheet has a great influence on its electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution.Hsiao et al.Used a simple double-cathode-induced surface plasma induction method to insert WSe2nanosheets into the interlayer of graphene and adjust its interlayer structure,and the conductivity and the number of active sites were improved[29]。 Graphene is used as a carrier for other compounds,Such as MoS2,MoSe2,MoSSe,Mo2C,MoP,CoP2 、CoS2 、MoP、FeP、Ni2P 、NiSe,The same improvement effect was also obtained[30~32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]

3 Activated graphene-based HER electrocatalyst

Although intrinsic graphene has catalytic inertness,the sp2hybrid structure of carbon atoms can be changed by doping,introducing defects,strain modulation and other methods to regulate its electron distribution,so as to activate the electrocatalytic activity of graphene surface and cooperate with catalytic active substances[43][44][45]

3.1 Doping activated type

the doped graphene has the following unique advantages and is more suitable for being used in hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic materials:(1)the graphene is doped with heterogeneous atoms with different electronegativity,such as nitrogen,boron,sulfur,phosphorus,metal and the like,the electronic structure of the carbon atom adjacent to the doped atom can be effectively adjusted,so that the carbon atom has more positive charges,the adsorption effect with the reaction intermediate is enhanced,and the electrocatalytic activity of the graphene is improved[46]。 For example,compared with the large overpotential of pure graphene(746 mV),the overpotential of S-doped and B-doped graphene at the 10 mA/cm2can be reduced to 423 and 440 mV,respectively[10][47]。 N-doping is even lower,only 240 mV[48]。 (2)the difference of electronegativity between the doping atom and C effectively promotes the charge transfer and has better conductivity[49]。 (3)Doped graphene has crystal structure defects,which is beneficial to the anchoring of catalytic active substances[50]。 Fei et al.Reported the dispersion of metallic Co onto N-doped graphene(denoted as Co-NG)by simply heat-treating graphene oxide and a small amount of cobalt salt in a NH3atmosphere[51]。 These small amounts of cobalt atoms coordinated with nitrogen atoms on graphene can exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity and stability in both acidic and alkaline as well as water,with an onset potential of only 30 mV。
Among the doped graphene HER electrocatalysts,multi-element co-doping has been studied more extensively[43]。 This is because multi-element co-doping can change the charge/spin distribution around the C atoms in the graphene matrix,jointly affect its valence electron orbital energy level,activate the activity of C atoms,and thus synergistically enhance the HER reactivity.in addition,multi-element co-doping is more conducive to the formation of more and larger holes in graphene to form a loose structure with interconnected pores,thus promoting charge transfer in the graphene network and significantly improving conductivity[52]。 For example,N,P double-doped graphene,N,S double-doped graphene and N,P double-doped multilayer graphene all show higher HER activity than single-doped graphene[43,53][54,55][56]。 The N-and S-codoped reduced graphene oxide(NS-RGO)prepared by Thirumal et al.Showed high HER activity,with an onset overpotential of 211 mV,a Tafel slope of 197 mV/dec,and a solution resistance of only 0.34Ω[54]。 It is believed that the improvement of HER activity is due to the interaction between the doping elements and the lattice defects of reduced graphene oxide.The Ni/N-doped graphene/MoS2composite synthesized by Ozgur et al.Exhibited high intrinsic HER activity with a low overpotential of 270 mV and a small Tafel slope of 56 mV/dec at 10 mA/cm2[57]。 Lin et al.Constructed a unique structure of double graphite nitrogen doping in a six-membered ring of graphene lattice,which significantly changed the electronic structure of carbon atoms bonded to two nitrogen atoms,enhanced the adsorption of H on C active sites,and thus improved the electrocatalytic activity[58]。 It was found that the overpotential was only 57 mV and the Tafel slope was 44.6 mV/dec at 10 mA/cm2current density,which showed comparable hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic performance with the reported highly active Pt/C 。

3.2 Strain modulation

The application of strain can change the electronic structure through lattice mismatch,thus improving the electron transfer ability between the catalytic active site and the adsorbed hydrogen and increasing the adsorption energy of hydrogen on grapheneΔGH*[59][60]。 and the graphene can bear the tensile strain of more than 20%,thereby being easy to realize the regulation And control of the catalytic activity[61]。 Zhang et al.Applied compressive strain to single-layer germanium triphosphide(GeP3)and tensile strain to few-layer GeP3,which can simultaneously endow them with the bestΔGH*value and good conductivity,resulting in higher HER activity[62]。 There are also researchers who apply both intrinsic defects and strain engineering to catalysts,and it is found that the appropriate combination of tensile strain and defect structure is an effective way to achieve more catalytic active sites and further regulate and improve the intrinsic activity of active sites for HER performance[31]

3.3 Introduced defect

defects can change the electronic density of States of C atoms at Defects in graphene,forming active sites for hydrogen evolution catalysis[63]。 the introduction of topological or geometric defects in graphene materials has been proved by researchers to be a simple way to significantly improve the electrocatalytic activity.Jia et al.Prepared defective graphene by introducing nitrogen atoms into the original monolayer graphene and then removing nitrogen at high temperature,and found that the HER activity of two-dimensional graphene materials with defects was higher than that of graphene and doped graphene[64]。 Chen et al.Showed that the defects on rGO can not only act as nucleation sites for the uniform growth of CoP nanoparticles,but also produce more isolated electrons,significantly changing the local charge state of P around the defects,resulting in the optimal value of hydrogen adsorption free energy[65]。 Tian et al.used the plasma etching method to create more structural defects on N and S co-doped graphene,and the process is shown in Figure 4[44]。 It is found that the synergistic coupling effect of N,S co-doping and plasma-induced structural defects can maximize the number of exposed active sites,contributing to excellent HER performance.Their group used the same method to obtain the same results in S-doped graphene(NSG)[66]

4 Heterostructure type graphene-based HER electrocatalyst

The hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic active component is compounded with graphene to form a heterostructure,and the excellent conductivity of the heterostructure can not only improve the transmission of electrons,but also activate the electrocatalytic activity of the graphene through the redistribution of charges at the interface,so as to produce a synergistic catalytic effect with the active component.Benefiting from the synergistic effects including excellent conductivity,increased catalytic active sites of rGO support,and tunable electron distribution of bimetallic phosphide,Cai et al.Explored the HER properties of CoFeP/rGO heterostructure(Fig.5),and found that the material exhibited excellent HER activity with a low overpotential of 76 mV in 0.5 mol/L H2SO4electrolyte at a current of 10 mA/cm2[67]。 Ha et al.Verified the synergistic catalytic sites of[Mo3S13]2−and Mo-S-Co bridge in the heterostructure of CoMo3S13/rGO composite aerogel,and the optimized heterostructure electrocatalyst showed high HER catalytic performance,with an overpotential of only 130 mV and a Tafel slope of 40.1 mV/dec at a current density of 10 mA/cm2[68]。 Bui et al.Synthesized MoS2@graphene heterostructure materials by inserting graphene into the interlayer of MoS2in situ,which exposed the HER active edge sites by widening the interlayer spacing and had better HER activity than pure MoS2[69]

5 Morphologically constructed graphene-based HER electrocatalyst

in addition to the typical two-dimensional morphology,graphene also has zero-dimensional and network interpenetrating three-dimensional morphology,showing unique properties,which is more conducive to the application of graphene In HER electrocatalysts[70]

5.1 Zero-dimensional graphene-based HER electrocatalyst

As a zero-dimensional graphene-derived material,graphene quantum dots(GQDs)have many structural defects on the surface and excellent conductivity,which are suitable for hydrogen evolution electrocatalyst materials。
At present,a variety of nanocomposites of GQDs with noble metals,such as Au,Ag,Pt,and Pd,as well as metal sulfides and transition metal phosphides,have been prepared,and the composites have been found to exhibit significantly enhanced electrocatalytic activity[71~73]。 Guo et al.Found that doping GQDs into MoS2nanosheets can play a key role in improving the catalytic activity by generating a large number of defect sites on the edge plane and basal plane,as well as improving the conductivity[74]。 GQDs have the same effect in coral-like MoS2nanomaterials discovered by Guo et al.It was found that the modification of GQDs significantly improved the conductivity of MoS2,combined with the rich active sites of coral-like MoS2nanomaterials,resulting in a small onset overpotential of 95 mV and a low Tafel slope of 40 mV/dec,as well as excellent electrocatalytic stability[75]。 Xue et al.Constructed a zero-dimensional/two-dimensional heterostructure of GQDs/Mxene Ti3C2Tx,which has the advantages of large specific surface area,uniform dispersion of quantum dots and abundant active sites,ideal electronic structure and good electronic conductivity,and found that its hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic performance is significantly better than that of pure quantum dots and Ti3C2Txcatalyst[76]。 Wang et al.Realized the regulation of GQDs through dynamic self-assembly,and in-situ grown CoP nanoparticles(CoP/G GQD)with small particle size,uniform,high density and good dispersion on graphene(Fig.6)[77]。 This composite nanostructure used as a HER electrocatalyst showed an overpotential of 91.3 mV,a Tafel slope of 42.6 mV/dec,and an exchange current density of 0.125 mA/cm2

5.2 Three-dimensional framework graphene-based HER electrocatalyst

Unlike catalytically inert two-dimensional graphene,three-dimensional graphene has a high density of electrocatalytically active boundary sites and is catalytically active itself.Wang et al.Directly prepared three-dimensional graphene materials under the conditions of no metal catalyst and no template,and obtained a three-dimensional graphene hydrogen evolution electrocatalyst with an initial potential of only 18 mV by controlling the morphology of graphene[78]
in addition,three-dimensional graphene with framework interpenetrating structure is more attractive as a carrier of active materials in hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts,which can not only solve the aggregation problem of graphene sheets,but also has its unique advantages:(1)three-dimensional graphene scaffolds can provide continuous interpenetrating high-speed pathways for the rapid transport of electrons and protons;(2)the three-dimensional porous scaffold can provide more bearing points for the active substance and improve the dispersion of the active substance,thereby exposing more active sites;(3)the three-dimensional porous graphene scaffold has sufficient porosity to promote the full infiltration of active materials in the electrolyte,and to promote the migration of particles and the diffusion of hydrogen.Therefore,3D graphene is an ideal support for electrocatalytically active species。
At present,three-dimensional graphene,which is used to support hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic active materials,is mainly in the form of foam,aerogel,sponge and so on.Our group successfully implanted MoS2nanoflowers into the framework of 3D graphene aerogel by a simple hydrothermal method,which effectively reduced the overpotential of hydrogen evolution and improved the electrocatalytic properties of MoS2nanoflowers for hydrogen evolution[79]。 A similar improvement effect was also found in MoS2nanosheets[80]embedded in graphene aerogel.Wei et al.Reported a spindle-like high-performance electrocatalyst porous interconnected network graphene supported by Co-doped FeP on a three-dimensional framework,which not only provided a three-dimensional framework for the growth of FeP to prevent its aggregation,but also accelerated its conductivity and stability[81]。 He et al.Constructed a nano-hybrid structure(3D MX/CN/RGO)with three-dimensional network interpenetration by MXene,graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets and graphene,which are all layered structures(Fig.7)[82]。 The structure can not only provide sufficient channels for the rapid diffusion and charge transport of the electrolyte,but also the Ti3C2Txnanosheets and ultrathin g-C3N4nanosheets in the structure have a large number of defects and edges that can provide active sites for HER catalysis,showing excellent HER performance 。

5.3 Coated graphene-based HER electrocatalyst

Although transition metals show outstanding electrocatalytic properties for hydrogen evolution,they are easily corroded in acidic electrolytes,which limits their application in acidic electrolytes.to this end,researchers have proposed a strategy to improve the stability of transition metal encapsulation with graphene.Deng et al.Reported a hierarchical structure consisting of an ultrathin graphene shell(only 1–3 layers)wrapped and encapsulated with a uniform CoNi nanoalloy(CoNi@NC)(Fig.8),and the calculation found that the electrons of CoNi can penetrate the graphene layer to enhance its HER performance in acidic medium[83]。 Its overpotential at a current of 10 mA/cm2is 142 mV,which is close to 40%of the commercial Pt/C catalyst.Liu et al.Reported a novel nano-flower-like monolayer N-doped graphene-coated nickel Ni-Cu alloy electrocatalyst,which has a unique porous flower structure and a synergistic effect between the bimetallic alloy core and the graphene shell.The electrocatalyst exhibits efficient and ultrastable activity for HER in harsh environments,i.e.,a low overpotential of 95 mV enables a current density of 10 mA/cm2and a low Tafel slope of 84.2 mV/dec in acidic medium[84]
