Facile loading mesoporous Co3O4 on nitrogen doped carbon matrix as an enhanced oxygen electrode catalyst

In-situ surface decoration of RuO2 nanoparticles by laser ablation for improved oxygen evolution reaction activity in both acid and alkali solutions

“…To reduce the usage of noble metals, one way is to develop alternative catalysts composed by earth abundant elements. For instance, tremendous progress has been achieved in developing transitionmetal-based OER catalysts, transition metal oxides, hydroxides, nitrides, sulfides, phosphides, carbides and so on [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. Carbonaceous materials have also received special interests in the combination with OER catalysts, due to the large specific surface area and excellent electrical conductivity [40][41][42][43].…”

CdS nanoflakes decorated by Ni( OH ) 2 nanoparticles for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production

“…Compared to 0D and 3D nanostructures, 1D and 2D CdS exhibits less carrier recombination and faster charge transfer which leads to excellent photocatalytic property. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Especially, CdS nanosheets can not only serve as a good supporting matrix for the growth of co-catalysts, but also can control the heterogeneous interface region to achieve an effective charge separation. For example, after Pt modification by aqueous solution method, CdS nanosheets have a hydrogen generation rate of 4.1 mmol/h.…”

Two-dimensional ultrathin MoS2-modified black Ti3+–TiO2 nanotubes for enhanced photocatalytic water splitting hydrogen production

“…However, its limited visible light response, low charge carrier mobility, and high carrier recombination [ 19 , 20 ] limit the efficiency of TiO 2 -based materials. Various methods such as element doping, surface modification, and heterojunction modification [21][22][23] have been used to improve the hydrogen production efficiency of TiO 2 -based materials. Zhang et al prepared Z-scheme TiO 2 /ZnTe/Au heterojunctions for excellent water splitting [24] .…”
