Interfacial and Ligand Dual Engineering Toward Energy‐Saving Hydrogen Production Coupled with Sulfion Degradation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Using a coordinated regulation strategy of interface and ligand, we developed a nickel cobalt sulfide/carboxylate ligand‐modified nickel cobalt hydroxide composite (NiCo‐S/NiCo‐OH‐CL) with abundant heterointerfaces. Owing to the porous network, sulfur‐repellent hydrophilic surface, and dual electronic structure regulation, the coupled electrolysis ...

Facilitating Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Activity in Alkaline Water Electrolysis via Formation of Ni‐Co2P Heterojunction

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Ni‐Co2P synthesized via a co‐sputtering method exhibits enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. The formation of a heterojunction between Ni and Co2P plays a crucial role in this enhancement. At the Ni‐Co2P junction, water dissociation is significantly promoted, while the Ni sites facilitate efficient hydrogen evolution.

Metal‐Free Halogen‐Engineered Carbon Nanotubes for Highly Efficient Oxygen Reduction Reaction

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
In work employs density functional theory screening to guide the halogen engineering of metal‐free, Cl‐mediated carbon nanotubes for a highly efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Cl‐mediation optimally tunes the electronic structure and binding energies of oxygen intermediates, delivering an ORR activity rivaling that of commercial Pt/C, high 4e−
