Fe Atoms Accelerator Coupled With Oxygen Vacancies Channel Synergistically Boost OER Performance of Fe‐CoMoO4‐Ov Nanosheets

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
Fe‐CoMoO4‐Ov/NF demonstrates significantly improved OER catalytic performance compared to CoMoO4. Specifically, the introduced Fe atoms act as a promoter for surface reconstruction, significantly reducing the energy required for surface reconstruction to generate FeCoOOH. The oxygen vacancies serve as electron channels between the core Fe‐CoMoO4‐Ov and

Bimetallic Synergy in Cocatalyst Alloy Nanoparticles for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
A bimetallic NiAg alloy is assembled on the surface of Zn3In2S6 to construct a NiAg‐Zn3In2S6 composite using a chemical reduction method. By adjusting the different alloy ratios, the hydrogen evolution activity of the optimum Ni0.25Ag0.75‐Zn3In2S6 photocatalyst achieves 21.32 mmol·g−1·h−1. ABSTRACT A bimetallic NiAg alloy is assembled on the surface of
