Strategies to improve electrocatalytic and photocatalytic performance of two-dimensional materials for hydrogen evolution reaction

Electrochemical oxidation of boron-doped nickel–iron layered double hydroxide for facile charge transfer in oxygen evolution electrocatalysts

“…13,21 Although OER electrocatalysts for use under alkaline conditions commonly contain noble metals, such as Ir and Ru, noble metals present disadvantages such as supply shortages and exhaustion, high cost, and limitations in applications requiring mass production. 12,16,22 For this reason, electrocatalysts based on earth-abundant elements, such as transition metal oxides, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), suldes, single atom catalysts (SACs), two-dimensional materials, etc., 3,10,13,16,[23][24][25][26][27][63][64][65][66] have been extensively studied to replace precious metals. Among such electrocatalyst candidates, LDHs show outstanding electrocatalytic activity and electrochemical stability under OER conditions.…”

Turbulence enhanced ferroelectric-nanocrystal-based photocatalysis in urchin-like TiO2/BaTiO3 microspheres for hydrogen evolution

“…Many efforts have focused on the development of broadband response nanomaterials with spectrum response from the UV to the visible 10,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] , even to the infrared (IR) region 18,20,[25][26][27][28][29] . Apart from the improvement in light absorption, increasing the photo-carrier transport and separation ability also is one of the most important ways to improve photocatalytic performance [30][31][32][33] .…”

V-Substituted ZnIn2S4: A (Visible+NIR) Light-Active Photocatalyst

“…Use of sulphides as photocatalysts is a well-studied subject, as shown by several very recent reviews [1][2][3][4][5][6]. In particular, ZnIn 2 S 4 is known to be active in a significant part of the visible light spectrum; it has been used for H 2 production [7,8], microorganism inactivation [9] or dye degradation [10].…”
