In-situ construction of lattice-matching NiP2/NiSe2 heterointerfaces with electron redistribution for boosting overall water splitting

Architecture lattice‐matched cauliflower‐like CuO/ZnO p–n heterojunction toward efficient water splitting

“…[26][27][28][29][30] Furthermore, the lattice-matched heterogeneous interface of ZnO and CuO could consolidate the synergistic effects via decreasing the interfacial contact resistance, optimizing the interfacial transmission path and rebuilding active reaction sites. [31][32][33] However, those CuO/ZnO photocathodes are fabricated via a long, complex operation, being time-consuming with many steps, by which CuO is initially synthesized, followed by the modification of ZnO. More importantly, the multistep methods cannot easily constitute an effective contact at the boundary interface, but can lead to waste of vast sums of money and time.…”

AlP-regulated phosphorus vacancies over Ni–P compounds promoting efficient and durable hydrogen generation in acidic media

“…As we know, the higher the electron density at the Fermi level it presents, the more the active free electrons it possesses. 61 Hence, NiP 2 equipped with 2P V is more beneficial to charge-transfer, and produces a higher charge carrier density. In addition, DOS curves can also manifest that pure NiP 2 , 1P V -NiP 2 and 2P V -NiP 2 all have metallic properties, which are consistent with the results of band structures in Fig.…”

Modulating heterointerfaces of tungsten incorporated CoSe/Co3O4as a highly efficient electrocatalyst for overall water splitting

“…10,[26][27][28] Among them, heterostructure materials have proven excellent theoretical and experimental outcomes and are dominated by their interfacial activity and electronic structure. [29][30][31][32] Also, inspired by their atomic arrangements and electronic structure, different nanostructures can be effective for boosting electrocatalytic performance of materials. Moreover, incorporating selenide as a secondary species extensively increases the electrocatalytic performance.…”
