A facile and ultrafast synthesis of molybdenum carbide coated with few-layer carbon (MoC/C) has been developed, and the effect of reducing the thickness of the carbon coating on its catalytic activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has been demonstrated.
An inactive material (TiO2) promotes remarkably another inactive material (Co2P4O12) to be a highly efficient electrocatalyst in hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline solution.
Phosphorus doped SWNTs loaded with nanoparticles of iron carbide and iron phosphide are synthesized cost-effectively and time-efficiently using a one-pot and one-step chemical vapor deposition method, and exhibit superb catalytic activity in the HER.
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.
