Ultrafine Ni-B nanoparticles for efficient hydrogen evolution reaction

Targeted Assembly of Ultrathin NiO/MoS2 Electrodes for Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution in Alkaline Electrolyte

“…Noble metal-free electrocatalysts are commonly considered as the best choice and might address these issues [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. The dissociation of water is the rate-determining reaction in aquatic hydrogen revolution and features a complex and energy intensive pathway [ 7 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ], which is most effective in alkaline media [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. For most metal catalysts, their hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity in alkaline solution is inferior compared to in acid environments, which markedly affects the development of electroactive materials [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”

Hierarchical CoSeS nanostructures assisted by Nb doping for enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction

“…Water splitting is a green and potential method to produce hydrogen, and its realization paths, including photocatalysis and electrocatalysis, all have attractive properties [4][5][6][7]. Alt-hough the electrocatalytic process is remarkable for its high efficiency and environmental friendliness, it exhibits sluggishness and low efficiency of anode and cathode reactions [8,9]. Therefore, it is imperative to develop green and economical catalysts to improve the efficiency of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) as much as possible [10].…”

Facile Synthesis of Cobalt Oxide as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

“…Because of their Pt-like catalytic behaviors for HER, well electrocatalysts originated from the most abundant elements (Co, Fe, Mo, Ni, Ti, W, and so on) has experienced rapid development over the past decade (Jung et al, 2014;Kuznetsov et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2020). Scientists design and develop various catalysts including transition metal oxides (CoO, Fe 3 O 4 , MoO 2 , TiO 2 , WO 2 ) (Park and Kolpak, 2019;Protsenko et al, 2019;Qian et al, 2019;Li L. et al, 2020;Li S. et al, 2020), metal sulfides (CoS, CuS, FeS 2 , MoS 2 , NiS 2 , V 3 S 4 , WS 2 ) (Li et al, 2018;Shi et al, 2019;Singh et al, 2019;Cao et al, 2020;Hao et al, 2020;Thangasamy et al, 2020), metal carbides (MoC 2 , WC) (Ji et al, 2018;Hussain et al, 2019), metal phosphides (CoP, NiP, FeP, WP, MoP) (Ojha et al, 2017;Zhang C. et al, 2018;Wang P. et al, 2019;Ji et al, 2020;Lin et al, 2020), metal selenides (CoSe 2 , MoSe 2 , NiSe 2 , WSe 2 ) (Wang et al, 2012(Wang et al, , 2020Chen et al, 2020;Nam et al, 2020) and metal boron (Huang et al, 2019;.…”
