N-doped CNT as electron transport promoter by bridging CoP and carbon cloth toward enhanced alkaline hydrogen evolution

Hairui Cai et al.

Summary: The CoP/N-CNT/CC electro-catalyst was prepared by cladding CoP nanosheets on a 3D nanostructured current collector (N-CNT/CC). Experimental results show that CoP acts as the dominant active center directly participating in HER, while N-CNTs act as electron transport promoters. The introduction of N-CNT accelerates electron transport, increases electrochemical active surface area, and exposes more CoP active sites.

Surface Valence State Effect of MoO2+x on Electrochemical Nitrogen Reduction

Jiaqi A. Wang et al.

Summary: The valence state of Mo plays a critical role in the performance of catalysts for ammonia synthesis and nitrogen reduction reaction. However, the dissolution of Mo as MoO42- in alkaline electrolytes has hindered the study of the valence effect of Mo in nanoparticle catalysts.
