Insight into the intrinsic activity of various transition metal sulfides for efficient hydrogen evolution reaction

Abstract

The electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is an efficient approach to convert sustainable energy sources into clean energy carriers, H2.

Nanostructured cobalt/copper catalysts for efficient electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction

“…15 Metallic nanocatalysts are especially of interest since their morphology can be designed to maximize surface areas and thus the number of active sites on which carbon dioxide can be adsorbed. 16–23 By combining two or more metals, the elemental composition of the catalyst can be optimized, and the binding energies of carbon dioxide and other reaction intermediates can be tuned to direct the reduction pathway to a desired product with high faradaic efficiency. 15,24,25…”
