Constructing amorphous/amorphous heterointerfaces in nickel borate/boride composites for efficient electrocatalytic methanol oxidation

“…6,7 In such regard, numerous research attempts have been unhesitatingly made to achieve affordable transition-metal-based catalysts on account of their desirable advantages of abundant reserves, low cost, ease of availability and reliable electrochemical properties. [8][9][10][11] Even so, limited by their slow charge transfer, deficient active sites and poor intrinsic catalytic activity, the electrocatalytic MOR performance of these materials is still far behind what we expect and needs significant promotion so as to catch up with the requirement of the commercial application of DMFCs. [12][13][14] As reported recently, heterointerface engineering, especially for constructing heterostructures based on ultrathin twodimensional (2D) nanomaterials, has attracted considerable attention in the electrochemical field owing to the impressive synergetic effects between ultrathin 2D structures and atomiclevel coupled interactions of different components on electrocatalysis, which can not only allow for more exposed heterojunctions as catalytically active centres on the surface of catalysts, but also appreciably modulate the surface charge distribution for optimizing the reaction kinetics, as a consequence, dramatically improving the catalytic performance of electrocatalysts.…”

Morphological and Coordination Modulations in Iridium Electrocatalyst for Robust and Stable Acidic OER Catalysis

“…With the continuous research, more and more nanomaterials have been discovered, and the number of nanomaterials has been increasing. The one-dimensional structural units in nanomaterials can be classified into nanowires, [28] nanorods, [29,30] nanotubes [31] and nanoribbons [32] by the difference of morphology and the presence or absence of hollow. Nanorods are a solid structure of one-dimensional nanostructures, and his special nanostructure has physical, chemical and optical properties that have a variety of promising applications in the fields of materials science, condensed matter physics and chemistry.…”

Bimetallic Nanoalloy Catalysts for Green Energy Production: Advances in Synthesis Routes and Characterization Techniques

“…Hydrogen as a renewable energy source is paramount as it provides numerous advantages for energy production and the DOI: 10.1002/smll.202303031 environment. [1] For this purpose, scientists have recently attracted much interest in several areas, including electrocatalysis and heterogeneous catalysis. [2] They focused on developing energy conversion and storage solutions that are highly efficient, costeffective, and have minimal environmental impact to meet energy demands.…”
