Meritorious spatially on hierarchically Co3O4/MoS2 phase nanocomposite synergistically a high-efficient electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction performance: Recent advances & future perspectives

Self‐supported bimetallic based materials deeply self‐reconstructing electrocatalysts for advances in hydrogen production

“…Among the non-precious oxides, it is used as a catalyst for HER kinetics activity because it exhibits an excellent catalytic response. [8,9] Such materials exhibit excellent combined ionic and electronic conductivity, which allows them to be useful for fuel cell technology and metal-air batteries. It is of high demand to explore the detailed experimental redox mechanisms, and reaction pathways since without these no progress can be made on the catalytic activity of -materials.…”

“…The composite materials possess intrinsic activity and polaronic states in the bandgap that increase and support the catalytic activity in the oxidized conditions. [8,9] Besides this, it has been used as co-catalyst to electrocatalysts due to its inexpensive, nontoxic, excellent adhesion, superior electrochemical stability, and good hydrophilic property. Additionally, such materials as a co-catalyst can enhance the dispersion of catalysts and ant poisoning activity toward CO.…”

2D–2D Nanoheterostructure of an Exposed {001}-Facet CuO and MoS2 Based Bifunctional Catalyst Showing Excellent Surface Chemistry and Conductivity for Cathodic CO2 Reduction

“…Charge accumulation on the CuO side extends 0.87 Å for NC: Cu and 2.2 Å for NC: O, whereas charge depletion on the MoS 2 side extends 3 Å for NC: Cu and 3.22 Å for NC: O. These polarized interfaces can serve as active sites for redox reactions in electrocatalytic and photocatalytic reactions. Moreover, from the average charge density difference plots, the charge redistribution magnitude in the case of NC: O is around three times greater than that of NC: Cu.…”

Two-Dimensional Nanoarchitectonics for Two-Dimensional Materials: Interfacial Engineering of Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides

“…Jung and Choudhari developed a 1D/2D WO 3 /WS 2 core–shell interface structure directly on the W foil substrate through an unprompted oxidation/sulfurization process. Similarly, WS 2 @NiCo 2 O 4 and Co 3 O 4 /MoS 2 TMDs/metal oxide heterostructures have been developed with exciting interface properties. Thus, the overall results indicate that composites of TMDs with metal oxides enhance the electronic conductivity of the material, facilitating rapid charge carrier transport, which may be further employed for potential applications.…”
