Modulation of the morphology and electronic structure of Ni3S2 nano-forests via P and Mo co-doping in polyoxometalates to promote the urea oxidation reaction

Yao Zhang et al.

Summary: Heazlewoodite nickel sulfide (Ni3S2) is a promising catalyst for the urea oxidation reaction (UOR) but has low activity. P and Mo co-doping is found to be the most effective way to enhance the UOR activity of Ni3S2. The P-Mo-Ni3S2@NF electrode, synthesized through this doping strategy, shows improved conductivity and urea adsorption, achieving a decent UOR activity and stability.
