Data are calculated according to hydrogen adsorption free energy, more just, the Wall being more unfavorable for during evolving hydrogen reaction is silent for hydrogen adsorption free energy The generation of reaction, hydrogen adsorption free energy is more negative, and the reaction of extra large Lip river Paderewski and Ta Feier being more unfavorable for during evolving hydrogen reaction are anti- The generation answered;Therefore, hydrogen adsorption free energy is higher closer to zero, MCNT catalyst hydrogen evolution activities;By response path, determine Reaction energy barrier determines the rate determining step of control evolving hydrogen reaction rate in conjunction with evolving hydrogen reaction path network;Reaction energy barrier is got over It is low, easier progress is reacted, the hydrogen evolution activity of corresponding MCNT catalyst is higher.
