Se-NiSe2 hybrid nanosheet arrays with self-regulated elemental Se for efficient alkaline water splitting

Xiang Peng et al.

Summary: Hybrid nanosheets of Se-NiSe 2 exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity for water splitting, and a high-efficiency bifunctional electrocatalyst is achieved by controlling the ratio of ionic selenium to elemental selenium on carbon cloth. The optimized electrocatalyst shows low overpotentials and high current densities for hydrogen and oxygen generation in 1.0 mol L -1 KOH. Density functional theory calculations reveal that surface-adsorbed elemental selenium optimizes the electron environment and the adsorption/desorption free energy of hydrogen/water. The appropriate ratio of ionic selenium to elemental selenium improves the catalytic activity and kinetics, and the optimized adsorption amount of elemental selenium balances the interactions between them.

Metastable Phase-Controlled Synthesis of Mesoporous Molybdenum Carbides for Efficient Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution

Du San Baek et al.

Summary: Transition metal carbides (TMCs) are considered as nonprecious metal electrocatalysts with Pt-like catalytic activity, showing great potential in electrochemical energy conversion reactions. This study explores the synthesis of mesoporous molybdenum carbides with controlled carbon overlayer thickness for efficient alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysis. It has been found that the choice of Mo precursor and nanospace-confined carburization are critical factors in forming mesoporous molybdenum carbides with a large catalytically active surface area. The thickness of the carbon overlayer on the surfaces of the molybdenum carbides can be controlled by carburization temperature and H-2 post annealing, resulting in enhanced alkaline HER activity.
