The activation-free electroless deposition of NiFe over carbon cloth as a self-standing flexible electrode towards overall water splitting

Abstract

Herein, we manifested an expeditious and straightforward approach to formulate self-supported flexible electrode depositing NiFeS and NiFeP over carbon cloth by proficient electroless deposition, eradicating traditionally expensive sensitization and activation...

Fabrication of NiFeB flexible electrode via electroless deposition towards selective and sensitive detection of dopamine

“…18,26 Furthermore, electroless deposition is less time-consuming, less hazardous to the environment and a cost-effective technique, giving a uniform coating of the material over the substrate surface by a controlled chemical reaction, which is quite stable during a long-term reaction and under various deformations. 27 Therefore, in the present study, we have explored NiFeB over a paper electrode as a free-standing flexible electrode for the detection of DA. Herein, we have coated Vulcan carbon (VC) over a paper electrode to make it conductive, which is further decorated with NiFeB.…”

In-site hydrogen bubble template method to prepare Ni coated metal meshes as effective bi-functional electrodes for water splitting

“…Self-supporting substrates described in most of the literature can be divided into four categories, such as metal substrates (foams, foils, and meshes), [6][7][8][9][10] carbon-based substrates (cloths, carbon papers, and graphene papers), [11][12][13] conductive oxides [14][15][16][17] and unconventional non-conductive substrates (papers, textiles, and sponges). 18,19 Among these substrates, metal meshes are considered the most promising materials for the preparation of self-supporting catalysts for industrial applications due to their good flexibility and excellent electrical conductivity.…”

Electrolytic water technology based on transformable and amorphous liquid metal electrodes

“…For many years, metallic materials [13,14] have been extensively studied as efficient electrodes for water electrolysis in alkaline solutions [10]. They are always loaded on soft substrates, such as carbon-based materials [15][16][17][18] and organic polymers [19], to achieve flexibility. However, these so-called flexible electrodes generally need a complex preparation process and special structural design, which requires high time and economic costs.…”
