One-pot construction of CoSe nanoparticles anchored on single-atomic-Co doped carbon for pH-universal hydrogen evolution

Abstract

Revealing the underlining interactions between different active sites is of great significance to the rational design of highly-efficient non-noble-metal composites for hydrogen evolution reaction. Herein, we report a pre-chelation assisted...

Constructing NiMoP nanorod arrays with a highly active Ni2P/NiMoP2 interface for hydrogen evolution in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1.0 M KOH media

“…ECSA and double-layer capacitance (C dl ) have a linear proportional relationship. 56,57 C dl is obtained by fitting cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves at different sweep speeds of 20-120 mV s À1 (Fig. S7, ESI †).…”

Research progress on single atom and particle synergistic catalysts for electrocatalytic reactions

“…129 For pure singlecenter catalysts, the chemical structure of the catalytic center is relatively simple, and it is difficult to optimize the binding energy of an intermediate without affecting other intermediates. [130][131][132] Therefore, the catalytic performance of pure single-center catalysts for multi-step reactions is not ideal. Consequently, the integration of single atoms and particles as multiple active centers into a catalytic system has been shown to break the scaling relationship, make up for the deficiencies of single-species catalysts, and synergistically accelerate the multi-step reactions.…”

Recent progress in the development of single-atom electrocatalysts for highly efficient hydrogen evolution reactions

“…As a result, exploring the substitution of noble metals is urgently required, and thus non-precious transition metals attract tremendous interest in water splitting. [111][112][113] In recent years, various non-noble metals atomically dispersed on specific functional supports have been rationally designed and reported as potential inexpensive alternatives for pH-universal HER electrocatalysis.…”
