Enhancing water splitting via weakening H2 and O2 adsorption on NiCo-LDH@CdS due to interstitial nitrogen doping: A close look at the mechanism of electron transfer

Modulation and engineering of MOF-derived transition metal selenides/NiFe LDH for application in electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution

“…4 However, the OER and HER suffer from high overpotential and sluggish kinetics due to intricate multistep electron–proton transfer processes. 5,6 While noble metal materials such as Pt and RuO 2 /IrO 2 are recognized as highly effective catalysts for driving the OER and HER, their prohibitive cost and instability curtail their widespread industrial application. 7 Hence, the development of efficient non-noble metal catalysts assumes great significance in facilitating overall water splitting.…”

Revealing Photocatalytic Performance of ZnxCd1–xS Nanoparticles Depending on the Irradiation Wavelength

“…These modifications promote charge separation, prevent photo-hole-induced self-corrosion, improve stability, and broaden the potential application range of CdS photocatalysts. 14,15 Among the aforementioned modification techniques, introducing Zn 2+ ions into the CdS structure can significantly change its light absorption range depending on the irradiation wavelength. 16,17 Zn x Cd 1−x S NPs possess the dual advantages of CdS and ZnS while being highly photocorrosion-resistant and light-reactive.…”

“…For example, the addition of metallic catalysts or metal ions forms modified photocatalysts, such as Ag 2 S@CdS, Zn x Cd 1– x S, and CdSe. These modifications promote charge separation, prevent photo-hole-induced self-corrosion, improve stability, and broaden the potential application range of CdS photocatalysts. , …”

Highly active bimetallic phosphide electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution

“…Transition metal-based carbides, 16 phosphides, 17 sulfides, 18 nitrides 19 and borides 20 have been extensively researched as electrocatalysts in recent years. 21 Among them, transition metal phosphides are considered as better substitutes than others for platinum-based noble metal electrocatalysts, attributed to the multifunctional active sites, tunable chemical composition, and d-band structure similar to platinum.…”
