Peripheral nucleic bases boost H₂production by synthetic molecular catalysts in acidic water

Abstract

The strategic inclusion of nucleic bases adenine, cytosine, and thymine, in the form of outer coordination sphere, positively impacts the electro- and photocatalytic H2 production by cobaloxime cores. These cobaloxime...

Strategic Ni-doping improved electrocatalytic H2 production by Bi3O4Br in alkaline water

“…Over the last few decades, extensive research efforts have been made to develop an electrocatalyst that can produce hydrogen via the electrocatalytic splitting of water at a lower overpotential with appreciable rates. [5][6][7][8][9] Electrocatalytic water splitting can be carried out in both acidic and alkaline media, and the lack of acid-tolerant counter electrode materials is a bottleneck for the production of multimillion tons of H 2 via acidic electrolyzers. [10][11][12] Therefore, major emphasis has been given to the quest for a stable and highly active catalyst for alkaline HER in the past few decades.…”
