In-situ interfacial engineering of Co(OH)2/Fe7Se8 nanosheets to boost electrocatalytic water splitting

Uniform nodule-like Ni3C/Ni heterostructure templated by metal–organic frameworks for high-performance overall water splitting

“…5b). 2,9,14,20,22,36,38,50–59 Meanwhile, the amount of experimentally evolved H 2 and O 2 were in accordance with the theoretical expectation, evidencing the fact that the Ni 3 C/Ni@NF∥Ni 3 C/Ni@NF couple exhibited a faradaic efficiency near 100% for overall water splitting (Fig. S26†).…”

Ru–Fe4C nanoparticles loaded on N-doped carbon nanofibers as self-supporting high-efficiency hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts

“…The more excellent catalytic activity of Ru–Fe 4 C/NCNF was due to the reason that Ru was dispersed onto the formed Fe 4 C to expose more active sites. Compared with the reported catalysts, 33–58 Ru–Fe 4 C/NCNF showed better catalytic performance as shown in Fig. 4(g) and (h).…”

Anion-induced electronic localization and polarized cobalt clusters for highly efficient water splitting

“…More importantly, the N-Co NCNTs electrocatalyst exhibits an outstanding OER performance with an ultralow overpotential of 178 mV at 10 mA cm −2 in an alkaline electrolyte, which is far superior to that of Co NCNTs (248 mV), commercial RuO 2 (251 mV), and most of the recently reported CNT-based materials and Co-based OER catalysts. 48–64 This fact reveals that the electronic regulation of cobalt clusters by nitrogen anions remarkably enhances the OER catalytic activity of the clusters by inducing the localization of electrons and forming polarized metal clusters. Additionally, in order to achieve optimal conditions, LSV curves were tested with different annealing times (Fig.…”
