Abstract:Titanium nitride (TiN) shows desirable properties for use as an electrocatalyst and catalyst support, as it possesses high electrical conductivity and excellent corrosion resistance. However, the effect of oxygen content in the nitride lattice on its ability to drive the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is not well understood. Here, a series of titanium oxynitrides (TiNxO1‐x) with varied nitrogen occupancy (0.53 ≤ x ≤1.0) in the bulk have been fabricated by ammonolysis. Their specific activities towards the H… Show more
