The rational design of economical and highly active multifunctional electrocatalysts is urgently needed for producing sustainable hydrogen. Here, we introduce a novel heterostructured electrocatalyst (NFM) by integrating NiCoO and FeCoS with MoTiCT-MXene nanosheets on a nickel foam substrate for the robust electrocatalytic water splitting and urea oxidation. Notably, the optimized NFM electrocatalyst achieves an impressive activity, requiring ultra-low overpotentials of 58.

The application of novel one-dimensional (1D) architectures in the field of energy storage has fascinated researchers for a long time. The fast-paced technological advancements require reliable rapid synthesis techniques for the development of various Multi-metal oxide (MMO) nanostructures. For the first time, we report the synthesis of a single-phase hierarchical one-dimensional (1D) branched BiVO-Reduced Graphene Oxide (BVONB/RGO) nanocomposite with different weight percent variations of RGO starting from 6, 12, 24, and 26 wt% using the supercritical water method (SCW).

Article Synopsis
  • * Characterization techniques (like XRD, FTIR, EPR, UV-Vis, and VSM) indicated structural changes, including oxygen defects and ferromagnetic properties due to nitrogen and sulfur doping.
  • * The doped TiO nanoparticles showed improved photocatalytic activity for dye degradation under visible light, attributed to altered electronic structures that enhance light absorption and the generation of reactive species.
