2D siloxene supported NiO/Co3O4 electrocatalyst for the stable and efficient hydrogen evolution reaction

Exploring the Effects of Various Two-Dimensional Supporting Materials on the Water Electrolysis of Co-Mo Sulfide/Oxide Heterostructure

“…Graphene oxide was prepared by using the modified Hummer's method, as reported previously [24], and subsequently reduced using hydrazine monohydrate (N 2 H 4 •H 2 O) to obtain rGO nanosheets. SiSh was synthesized using the procedure described previously [22]. To prepare gC 3 N 4 , 10 g of melamine was added into a porcelain crucible and heated at 600 • C for 4 h. Then, the resulting yellow powder was mixed with 100 mL of deionized (DI) water and subjected to sonication.…”

“…As another carbon-based 2D material, graphitic carbon nitride (gC 3 N 4 ) can also be used as a support because of its facile availability, simple production route, cost-effectiveness, and excellent chemical and thermal robustness [19,20]. Additionally, as a hexagonal 2D material composed of six-membered rings of silicon separated from each other by Si-O-Si bridges, siloxene (SiSh) also exhibits excellent properties when used as a support [21,22], owing to the high specific surface area and the presence of hydroxyl groups on the siloxene sheet [23].…”

Easily deposited ZnO nanorods on siloxene nanosheets: investigation of morphological, dielectric, ferroelectric, and energy storage properties

“…Similar to the well-known graphene oxide (GO), siloxene serves as a versatile platform for anchoring and supporting nanoparticles, offering opportunities for catalytic support, surface functionalization, and deposition of metal transitions. [21][22][23][24] The advancement of dielectric capacitors with high electrical energy densities is crucial for their integration into microelectronic and electric power systems. Conventional ferroelectric materials typically exhibit a square-shaped polarization (P)-electric eld (E) hysteresis loop, comprising a saturated polarization (P s ), a substantial remnant polarization (P r ), and a large coercive eld (E c ).…”
