Controllable atomic defect engineering in layered Ni_xFe_1−x(OH)₂ nanosheets for electrochemical overall water splitting

Abstract

Exploring efficient electrocatalysts through controllable defect engineering in materials with low-cost and earth-abundant elements is highly desired for overall water splitting. Herein, a hybrid electrocatalyst was accomplished by growing layered...

Efficient electrocatalytic H2 evolution mediated by 2D Janus MoSSe transition metal dichalcogenide

“…It is also a non-pollution process that is cost effective, highly efficient and environmentally friendly. 12,13 Modern research has been focused on the development of earthabundant, cost-effective, and highly efficient electrocatalysts for the effective H 2 evolution reaction (HER: 2H + + 2e À ¼ H 2 ). The main key for exploring the efficiency of H 2 O splitting is the electrocatalytic cathode materials, which are required in the electrolysis of H 2 O.…”

Tuning the electronic communication of the Ru–O bond in ultrafine Ru nanoparticles to boost the alkaline electrocatalytic hydrogen production activity at large current density

“…The HER dynamics and charge transfer between the electrode and electrolyte interface were analysed by the EIS method. 41,42 The charge transfer resistance ( R ct ) is related to the interface charge transfer process of the electrode. In general, the lower the R ct , the faster the hydrogen production.…”

“…The HER dynamics and charge transfer between the electrode and electrolyte interface were analysed by the EIS method. 41,42 The charge transfer resistance (R ct ) is S2 †). A dominant index of the electrocatalyst was its catalytic stability, which meant long catalytic times.…”

Lattice-disorder layer generation from liquid processing at room temperature with boosted nanointerface exposure toward water splitting

“…It is imperative to explore non-noble metal alternatives with powerful catalytic capability and durability. [13][14][15] Anionic intercalation hydroxides comprising transitionmetal elements e.g. titanium, cobalt, iron, nickel, magnesium or zinc, [16][17][18] have aroused great interest due to their adjustable compositions, easy recombination, and superior ion-adsorption capacity.…”
