ZIF-derived two-dimensional Co@Carbon hybrid: Toward highly efficient trifunctional electrocatalysts

Robust Electronic Correlation of Co‐CoN4 Hybrid Active Sites for Durable Rechargeable Zn‐Air Batteries

“…[12b] In addition, the concentric diffraction rings in the selected area electron diffraction (SAED) image of the Co-CoN 4 @NCNs (Figure S4, Supporting Information) can be indexed to the Co (111) and (220) crystal planes. [30] Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (Figure S5, Supporting Information) clearly demonstrates the co-existence of Co, C, and N, the content of which was 9.1, 80.8, and 5.2%, respectively. The Co content was close to the result (8.9%) obtained using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (Table S1, Supporting Information).…”

Bifunctional atomically dispersed ruthenium electrocatalysts for efficient bipolar membrane water electrolysis

“…In the last two decades, considerable efforts have been made to developing efficient and stable electrocatalysts with reduced utilization of metal species taken into account. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] In particular, atomically dispersed catalysts (ADCs) have drawn significant attention in recent years and were demonstrated to be promising electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. [12][13][14] ADCs allow for maximal utilization of metal species and can help markedly reduce the metal loading in the catalyst layers without compromising the electrocatalytic performance.…”

Compositional Engineering of Co(II)MOF/Carbon-Based Overall Water Splitting Electrocatalysts: From Synergistic Effects to Structure–Activity Relationships

“…8,9 Hence, electrochemical water splitting has received extensive attention from researchers because the process is simple and the product is pollution-free. 10,11 The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) occurs at the cathode, and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) occurs at the anode from the electrochemical hydrolysis reaction. 12−14 Despite the fact that electrochemical water decomposition is an effective method to produce H 2 with zero carbon emissions, the practical application of large-scale hydrogen production is hindered due to the excessive overpotential.…”

“…With the consumption of nonrenewable energy and a series of environmental pollution problems, hydrogen (H 2 ) as reproducible and green energy was looked upon as a prospective option toward fossil fuels and had attracted extensive attention from researchers in recent years. − At present, most H 2 resources come from the decomposition of chemical products, meaning that this process needs to overcome multistep side reactions and produces a variety of exhaust gases. , H 2 production by water electrolysis is rarely used in industrial production and real life. , Among the many processes that can be used to produce H 2 and O 2 , electrochemical water splitting still is a prospective technology that can produce relatively pure H 2 and O 2 . , Hence, electrochemical water splitting has received extensive attention from researchers because the process is simple and the product is pollution-free. , …”
