CoS2 nanowires supported graphdiyne for highly efficient hydrogen evolution reaction

Cubic core–shell structure of NiCoSx/CoS2 as a high-efficiency tri-functional catalyst for Zn–air battery and overall water splitting

“…1(h2-h4) is about 0.23 nm and 0.20 nm, corresponding to the (211) and (220) crystal plane spacing of CoS 2 , respectively. 32,33 The strong coupling of the two-phase interface increases the active sites, and a large number of defects such as vacancies and dislocations can be formed in the two-phase interface, which can increase the exposure of active sites and help improve the electrocatalytic performance of the material. Elemental mapping images show the uniform distribution of Ni, Co, and S elements in the structure.…”

“…Several composites of GDY and transition‐metal dichalcogenides (TMDs, e.g., CoS 2 , [ 133 ] CuS, [ 134 ] MoS 2 , [ 135 ] WS 2 , [ 136 ] CdS, [ 131 ] ) have been prepared. The driving force behind is that 2D TMD nanomaterials feature graphene‐like properties.…”

“…This composite provided more carbon atoms and active sites for planar unsaturated sulfur as well as jointly promoted the adsorption/desorption of hydrogen, resulting in a reduced hydrogen reaction energy barrier during catalytic hydrogen production (Figure 9B). [ 133 ] Decoration of ultrafine CdS nanoparticles [ 132 ] and a CuS nanosheet [ 134 ] with the GDY materials have been also reported by means of different in situ methods. The heterojunction between CdS nanoparticles and the GDY material was found to effectively accelerate the injection of light‐induced holes from the CdS nanoparticles to the GDY material, resulting in inhibited electron‐hole recombination in this CdS/GDY composite.…”

Constructing Cu−C Bonds in a Graphdiyne‐Regulated Cu Single‐Atom Electrocatalyst for CO2 Reduction to CH4

“…Graphdiyne (GDY), a novel carbon allotrope comprising sp 2 -and sp-hybridized carbon atoms, has been responsible for remarkable achievements in various research fields because of its excellent physical and chemical properties. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] Most importantly, it has been demonstrated that the unique À C�CÀ C�CÀ structure in GDY can effectively stabilize single atoms and strongly facilitate the charge transfer between GDY and the atom center. Therefore, it can lead to a change in the electronic environment of the single atom.…”
