Regulating the thickness of the carbon coating layer in iron/carbon heterostructures to enhance the catalytic performance for oxygen evolution reaction

Mo-doped cobaltous sulfide nanosheet arrays as efficient catalysts for the sulfion oxidation reaction promoting hydrogen production with ultra-low electric energy consumption

“…Besides, normalization analysis based on mass loading is also an effective means to measure the intrinsic activity and utilization of active substances. 53,54 For a deeper understanding of the effect of the synergistic effect between Co and Mo species in Mo–Co–S/NF on the SOR intrinsic catalytic performance, the current density is further normalized to the ECSA and mass loading, respectively. As shown in Fig.…”

Steering the electronic communication between Al/Ru bimetallic clusters in metal–organic framework composites for accelerating hydrogen evolution kinetics

“…Referring to previous reports, MOFs feature a high capability for cleaving the H–OH bond, which can be coupled with good conductive materials such as carboxylic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to improve their HER kinetics. 45–48…”

RuNi single-atom alloy anchored on rGO as an outstanding bifunctional catalyst for efficient electrochemical water splitting

“…Moreover, the excellent conductivity of carbonaceous materials can contribute to the improvement of the electronic conductivity of composites. 25–28 Lu et al prepared Ru and Ni nanoparticles embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (RuNi-NCNFs) by electrospinning and a subsequent carbonization process, which exhibited excellent Pt-like electrocatalytic activity for the HER and OER. 29 Wang and co-workers prepared a RuNi nanoalloy (Ru 7 Ni 3 @NC/C) confined within an N-doped carbon shell, which only needs a low overpotential of 16 mV to demonstrate superior catalytic HER activity.…”
