Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a catalyst with maximized activity and stability through synthesizing carbon quantum dots with transition metal elements introduced based on carbon compound monomers containing nitrogen elements that have excellent bonding ability with transition metals. By introducing low-cost transition metal atoms into nano carbon quantum dots (CQDs), a type of highly stable carbon nanostructure, the activity and stability of the hydrogen generation catalyst reaction through water electrolysis are simultaneously increased, so that an economical, highly active, highly stable catalyst for electrochemical hydrogen generation reaction can be manufactured.

Abstract: An embodiment of the disclosure provides an electrochemical catalyst composite and a method of producing the same. The electrochemical catalyst composite according to an embodiment of the disclosure is a hybrid material having a heterojunction structure between metal phosphide with controlled crystal strain and the MXene, in which metal phosphide produced by a synergy effect between the two materials prevents an overlapping phenomenon caused by the van der Waals force of the two-dimensional MXene material and increases a surface area, thereby having an effect on increasing reaction active points. Further, metal phosphide material with the controlled strain causes an electron structure of an element in the MXene support to be rearranged, thereby inducing change in an electrical structure.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a MXene nanodot core-carbon shell multifunctional catalyst including a MXene nanodot core and a carbon shell surrounding the MXene nanodot core. By introducing the carbon shell surrounding the nanodot core, the stability of the catalyst is ensured, thereby providing effects in that the catalyst may function under various conditions.
