The ZIF-67 derived cobalt telluride encapsulated on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes frameworks (CoTe2@NCNTFs) was synthesized, which exhibits remarkable electrocatalytic performances for overall water splitting.
Herein, a highly stable, porous, multifunctional and metal-free catalyst was developed, which exhibited significant catalytic performance in the oxidation of amines and the transfer hydrogenation of nitriles under mild conditions.
Electrocatalysis of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a promising route for sustainable hydrogen production based on water splitting. Designing MoP nanoparticles as catalysts is a feasible strategy to enhance the electrocatalytic performance for HER. In response, we report the fabrication of ultrafine MoP nanoparticles (NPs) which are uniformly embedded on glucose‐derived phosphorus and nitrogen co‐doped carbon nanosheets (MoP/NPG) as an effective electrocatalyst for HER via a novel and simple solid‐state reaction. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that the resulting product exhibits an average size of 3.15 nm. Due to the presence of exposed active sites in ultrafine MoP NPs and the laminar structure of carbon nanosheets, the MoP/NPS shows remarkable high catalytic activity having a low overpotential of 90 and 115 mV to achieve the current density of 10 mA cm−2 in both, acidic and alkaline media, which demonstrates the promising potential for an application in sustainable energy production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
