“…Their anodic CV curves in Figure S5, Supporting Information, show that the peak of Ni/Ni 3 NC is negatively shifted and positively shifted compared to that of NiC and Ni 3 NC, respectively, indicating electron rearrangement in the heterostructure electrocatalyst, in consistent with XPS result (Figure 2b). [18,35] The HOR polarization curves in Figure 3a, measured in H 2 -saturated solution with a rotation rate of 2500 revolutions per minute (rpm) at a scan rate of 5 mV s −1 , indicate Ni/Ni 3 NC possesses the highest apparent HOR activity among these catalysts. Specifically, HOR polarization curves of NiC, Ni/Ni 3 NC, and Ni 3 NC at various rotating rates from 2500 to 400 rpm were recorded in Figure S6a,c,e, respectively, Supporting Information.…”
