It is a great demand to develop high‐performance electrodes for metal–air batteries to boost cathodic oxygen reduction/evolution dynamics and avoid anodic dendrites. The optimization of catalysis at electrode can be conducted by increasing effective surface exposure, active site density, and unsaturated coordination, via using metal clusters or atomic catalysts, along with conductive or defective...
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derivatives have attracted much attention in the field of photo/electrocatalysis owing to their ultrahigh porosity, tunable properties, and superior coordination ability. Regulating the valence electronic structure and coordination environment of MOFs is an effective way to enhance their intrinsic catalytic performance. Rare earth (RE) elements with 4f orbital...
Broad spectral response and high photoelectric conversion efficiency are key milestones for realizing multifunctional, low‐power optoelectronic devices such as artificial synapse and reconfigurable memory devices. Nevertheless, the wide bandgap and narrow spectral response of metal‐oxide semiconductors are problematic for efficient metal‐oxide optoelectronic devices such as photonic synapse and optical...
Janus architectures have garnered great research efforts in recent years, leading to outstanding advances in electrocatalysis. Benefiting from the synergistic combination of their anisotropy which endows the manifestation of various co‐existing electrochemical properties, and their compartmentalized structure that enables each functional domain to retain its inherent activity, with little to no interference...
Designing robust electrocatalysts for water‐splitting is essential for sustainable hydrogen generation, yet difficult to accomplish. In this study, a fast and facile two‐step technique to synthesize Ru/RuO2 aerogels for catalyzing overall water‐splitting under alkaline conditions is reported. Benefiting from the synergistic combination of high porosity, heterointerface, and tensile strain effects,...
With the rapid development of anion‐exchange membrane technology and adequate supply of high‐performance non‐noble metal oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts in alkaline media, the commercialization of anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) become possible. However, the kinetics of the anodic hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) in AEMFCs is significantly decreased compared to the HOR in proton...
Developing efficient and stable non‐noble electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains challenging for practical applications. While nickel–iron layered double hydroxides (NiFe‐LDH) are emerging as prominent candidates with promising OER activity, their catalytic performance is still restricted by the limited active sites, poor conductivity and durability. Herein, hierarchical...
Tailoring composition and morphology of electrocatalysts is of great importance in improving their catalytic performance. Herein, a salt‐templated strategy is proposed to construct novel multicomponent Co/CoxMy (M = P, N) hybrids with outstanding electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The obtained Co/CoxMy hybrids present porous sheet‐like architecture consisting of...
Exploring highly efficient electrocatalysts is greatly important for the widespread uptake of the fuel cells. However, many newly generated nanocrystals with attractive nanostructures often have extremely limited surface area or large particle‐size, which leads them to display limited electrocatalytic performance. Herein, a novel anode catalyst of hollow and porous Pd3Pt half‐shells with rich “active...
Developing highly efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution is vital for renewable and sustainable energy production and storage. Herein, nitrogen‐doped carbon encapsulated CoOx‐MoC heterostructures are reported for the first time as high performance oxygen evolution electrocatalysts. The composition can be tuned by the addition of a Mo source to form a nanowire‐assembled hierarchically porous...
Expedition of electron transfer efficiency and optimization of surface reactant adsorption products desorption processes are two main challenges for developing non‐noble catalysts in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and CO2 reduction reaction (CRR). A heterojunction prototype on Co3S4@Co3O4 core–shell octahedron structure is established via hydrothermal lattice anion exchange protocol to implement...
Highly optimized nickel cobalt mixed oxide has been derived from zeolite imidazole frameworks. While the pure cobalt oxide gives only 178.7 F g−1 as the specific capacitance at a current density of 1 A g−1, the optimized Ni:Co 1:1 has given an extremely high and unprecedented specific capacitance of 1931 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1, with a capacitance retention of 69.5% after 5000 cycles...
