Developing high-efficiency electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has been considered as a crucial way to reduce energy loss in watersplitting. Herein, heterogeneous NiSe 2 /MoSe 2 (H-NiSe 2 /MoSe 2 ) nanocomposite constructed by metallic NiSe 2 nanocrystallites embedded in few-layer MoSe 2 nanosheets has been in situ synthesized by a simple hydrothermal reaction. As an HER electrocatalyst, it delivers superior performance with an ultra-small onset overpotential of 103 mV, a small overpotential of 147 mV at 10 mA cm −2 , a low Tafel slope of 43.5 mV dec −1 , and long-term stability up to 18 h in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 . The superior performance for HER can be ascribed to the unique embedded nanostructure, which can not only improve the overall conductivity of the nanocomposite but also greatly increase the exposed active sites. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of NiSe 2 and MoSe 2 hybrid facilitates the rapid electrons transfer from the electrode to the exposed MoSe 2 edges to take part in the HER reaction, and thus promotes the HER performance. This study provides a simple route for fabricating bi-metallic selenides-based nanocomposite as an efficient and stable electrocatalyst for HER.The excessive consumption of natural resources has brought about severe ecological environment and energy crises. [1][2][3] Hydrogen is considered a renewable energy source to replace natural fossil fuels due to its clean combustion products and high energy density. [4][5][6] Up to now, hydrogen evolution from electrochemical water splitting has been regarded as an eco-friendly and promising strategy to fabricate the hydrogen energy resource. 7-10 However, the high overpotential on the cathode electrode of water splitting severely increases the
A novel, rapid and sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) method for the determination of oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTCH) is described in this paper. The presented method was based on the fact that OTCH could immensely enhance the CL of the reaction of cerium sulfate and tris(2,2‐bipyridyl) ruthenium (II) in acidic medium. Under optimal experimental conditions, CL intensity was favorably linear for OTCH in the range 5.0 × 10−7 to 5.0 × 10−5 g/ml, with a detection limit of 1.5 × 10−7 g/ml (S/N = 3). The relative standard detection was 4.76% for 5.0 × 10−6 g/ml (n = 11). This method was successfully applied to the analysis of OTCH in milk and egg white samples. According to the results of the kinetic curves for OTCH in the Ru(bipy)32+–Ce(SO4)2 CL system, together with CL and ultraviolet (UV)–visible spectra, the possible mechanism of the CL reaction is discussed briefly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
