Binary Ni–Cu nanocomposite-modified MXene-adorned 3D-nickel foam for effective overall water splitting and supercapacitor applications

“…[1][2][3] However, due to the rapidly increasing population together with the over consumption of energy, the increasing energy needs of society cannot be met by renewable energy sources such as wind power and geothermal and solar energy sources. 4 Accordingly, electric energy from energy conversion and storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries, 5,6 metal air batteries, 7,8 supercapacitors, [9][10][11][12][13] fuel cells 14,15 and electrochemical water splitting is becoming a more signicant part of modern life due to its efficiency, sustainability, and greenness. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Owing to its ability to produce pure green hydrogen with high energy density as fuel together with zero carbon emission, electrochemical water splitting is considered a promising alternative.…”

Self-supported 3D coral-like copper/poly diphenylamine on nickel foam: multifunctional exploration of overall electrochemical water splitting, alcohol oxidation reaction and supercapacitor applications

“…[1][2][3] Energy storage and conversion devices have been garnering a lot of fascination from researchers worldwide in recent years, as a consequence of the significant advancements made in the realm of nanoscience. 2 Electrode materials, which are responsible for the electron transfer that is generated at the electrode/electrolyte interfaces, are at the core of energy conversion and storage systems, including supercapacitors, [4][5][6][7][8][9] batteries, 10 solar cells 11 and fuel cells. [12][13][14] For optimal functioning electrochemical devices, electronic conduction via the electrode in conjunction with the viable redox reactions occurring at the electrode/electrolyte interface is exceptionally important.…”
