Laser-Induced Pd-PdO/rGO Catalysts for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Conversion of Nitrate into Ammonia

“…The thin sheets of graphene account for the monolayers that are readily apparent in the SEM morphology analysis. , In the L-Pd/rGO composite, Figure b conveys the presence of layers of turbostratic graphene, and highly dispersed Pd and PdO nanoparticles reassure the formation of the nanocomposites. Preferably, the absence of aggregation in Figure b corroborates the inviolable adhesion of the nanoparticles to the carbon film . The uniform distribution of Pd/PdO in both pristine and heat-treated samples is clearly visible in the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) images shown in Figures c and S5a, respectively.…”

“…Preferably, the absence of aggregation in Figure 2b corroborates the inviolable adhesion of the nanoparticles to the carbon film. 44 The uniform distribution of Pd/PdO in both pristine and heat-treated samples is clearly visible in the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) images shown in Figures 2c and S5a, respectively. The particle size distribution, calculated from the respective images (16 nm for pristine and 36 nm for heat-treated samples), matches the crystallite sizes determined by XRD.…”

Enhancing the catalytic OER performance of MoS2 via Fe and Co doping

“…13 Significant progress in the field of non-precious OER catalysts has been achieved; however, extensive research attention is still focused on designing novel and efficient Earth-abundant electrocatalysts. [14][15][16] Among them, Ni/Co/Fe-based composite catalysts such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are becoming potential candidates for OER due to their low cost, adjustable chemical composition, and characteristic electronic structure. [17][18][19] However, the OER performance of LDH is still inhibited by its limited number of active sites, intrinsic activity, and poor conductivity, and the origin of dominant active sites in LDH remains controversial.…”
