Abstract:International audienceWe herein report on a novel, simple and straightforward method for the preparation of nickel bisdiphosphine hydrogen-evolving catalysts, so-called DuBois catalysts, from commercially available nickel hexaaqua salts. This method yields coordination complexes with the same physical characteristics as previously described for compounds prepared from the [Ni(CH3CN)6]2+ precursor. However, if hexaaquanickel(II) chloride is used as a precursor, a different nickel bisdiphosphine complex is forme… Show more
3D structuring of the electrode boosts the performances of molecular-engineered nanomaterials based on bio-inspired nickel-diphosphine catalysts operating at the thermodynamic equilibrium in PEMFC relevant conditions.
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.
