Na Yao et al.

Summary: This study reports a method for electrochemical synthesis of amorphous CoOOH layers on the surface of various cobalt sulfides (CoS alpha) and identifies the phenomenon that reducing the intermolecular energy gap can accelerate the formation of OER-active high-valent Co4+ species.

Construction of Fe-doped NiS-NiS2 Heterostructured Microspheres Via Etching Prussian Blue Analogues for Efficient Water-Urea Splitting

Shoushuang Huang et al.

Summary: Efficient and robust Fe-doped NiS-NiS2 heterostructured microspheres were successfully synthesized for electrocatalytic water-urea splitting.
