Unveiling the synergy of polymorph heterointerface and sulfur vacancy in NiS/Ni3S2 electrocatalyst to promote alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction

Kai Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, we developed a hydrothermal sulfurization-acid assisted etching strategy to fabricate Mo doped NiS/Ni3S2 polymorph heterostructure with rich sulfur vacancies (Mo-NiS/Ni3S2-rich Sv). It was discovered that the S centers on the Ni3S2 side of the nickel sulfide polymorphs served as the H2-evolving sites, while the Ni sites on the Mo-NiS side facilitated the cleavage of the HO-H bond. The presence of rich Sv expedited the evolution of H* to molecular H2, leading to enhanced HER kinetics. The optimized Mo-NiS/Ni3S2-rich Sv electrocatalyst exhibited excellent HER activity and durability in alkaline solution. Understanding the synergy of polymorph heterostructure and element defect is crucial for the rational design of high-performance HER electrocatalysts.

Interfacial boron modification on mesoporous octahedral rhodium shell and its enhanced electrocatalysis for water splitting and oxygen reduction

Yihui Wang et al.

Summary: The research on active and efficient electrocatalysts is crucial for the practical application of energy conversion devices. In this study, porous rhodium octahedra were synthesized through a one-pot method called corner-induced-selective-deposition (CISD), and their performances in alkaline media for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) were significantly enhanced by interfacial boron modification. The incorporation of boron improved the adsorption properties of the catalyst surface and reduced the overpotentials for the three reactions. This work has the potential to guide the design of other nanoscale functional materials with delicate nanostructures and optimized compositions.
