Boron-doped CoP/nitrogen-doped carbon drives enhanced alkaline hydrogen evolution

Abstract

Developing durable and efficient catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is of great significance for hydrogen production. By reasonably doping nonmetallic elements, the electronic configuration of transition metal electrocatalysts can...

Boride-induced phase tuning of defect-introduced MoS2 nanosheets to boost the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction

“…3f). As reported previously, 44,45 the NaBH 4 treatment led to the incorporation of boron species into the MoS 2 lattice. The resulting increase of Mo oxidation state caused by boron doping induced a phase transition of highly distorted 1T′ MoS 2 to ordered 2H MoS 2 upon NaBH 4 treatment, which would be responsible for the improvement of structural order in the MoS 2 lattice (Fig.…”
