Hollow-structured NiCoP nanorods as high-performance electrodes for asymmetric supercapacitors

Roughening the surface of porous NiCoP rod-like arrays via the in situ growth of NiCoP4O12 nanoislands enables highly efficient energy storage

“…The result of the calculation showed that b is 0.67, indicating that the charge transmission on the surface of NiCoP/NiCoP 4 O 12 was affected by the diffusion and electrochemical reactions. 25 Similarly, energy conversion on NiCoP and NiCo 2 O 4 was under the effect of combined factors (Fig. S7e and f†).…”

“…In order to enhance the specific surface area of primitives, researchers focus on adjusting the morphology of primitives by controlling the thickness and length of linear primitives 23 and the density of sheets, 24 thus exposing more active sites. On the other hand, regulating the pore structure of primitives also leads to the improvement of specific surface area and the number of active sites, which has been confirmed in porous NiCoP, 25,26 NiP, 27 etc . However, a few researchers try using these two methods simultaneously to manipulate the structure of primitive and optimize the specific capacity.…”

NiCoP/Mo3Se4 Nano‐Heterojunction as a Promising Bifunctional Catalyst for Full‐Water Splitting under Low Cell Voltage

“…For example, NiCoP nanocomposites with high conductivity have been widely studied in HER [9,16–17] . However, when NiCoP alone is used as a dual‐function electrocatalyst for full hydrolysis, its electrocatalytic properties are severely limited [18–19] . Therefore, it is highly desired to develop efficient and low‐cost catalysts to accelerate the commercialization of full water splitting at high current densities with reducing battery voltage [20–21]…”

1D NiHPO4 nanotubes prepared using dissolution equilibrium as bifunctional electrocatalyst for high-efficiency water splitting

“…Rapid development of nanotechnology and nanostructure engineering provides promising ways to maximize electrocatalytic performance of electrode materials for large-scale applications in renewable and green energy systems. It was reported that charge accumulation and redox reactions can be efficiently improved using one-dimensional (1D) materials, especially 1D nanotubes, due to the space-confined transport phenomena [18,19]. Additionally, the unique hollow structure of 1D nanotubes offers the advantages of high surface area, high porosity and internal void space, providing a large number of accessible active sites for surface charge storage and catalytic reactions [20][21][22].…”
