Article Abstract
The construction of high-efficiency and low-cost electrocatalysts toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to improve the overall water decomposition performance is a fascinating route to deal with the clean energy application. Herein, Fe-doped NiS crystals grown on the surface of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) encapsulated with NiFe alloy nanoparticles ((Ni,Fe)S/NiFe-CNFs) are fabricated through an electrospinning-calcination-vulcanization process, which has been used as a splendid electrocatalyst for OER. Benefitting from the abundant electrochemical active sites from the incorporation of Fe element in NiS and the synergistic effect between NiFe-CNFs and surface sulfides, the obtained (Ni,Fe)S/NiFe-CNFs catalyst exhibits highly electrochemical activities and satisfactory durability toward OER in an alkaline medium with a low overpotential of only 287 mV at a high current density of 30 mA cm, and with a little decline in the current retention after 48 h, suggesting its superior OER performance even compared with some noble metal-based electrocatalysts. Additionally, a two-electrode system conducted by using the (Ni,Fe)S/NiFe-CNFs and commercial Pt/C as electrodes, only needs a cell voltage of 1.54 V to afford 10 mA cm for overall water splitting, which is even much better than the RuO||Pt/C electrolyzer. This study offers a promising approach to prepare high-efficiency OER catalysts toward overall water splitting.

Although the NiS exhibits the most widely adjustable metal-to-insulator (MIT) properties among the chalcogenides, the mechanisms, with respect to the regulations in their critical temperatures (), are yet unclear. Herein, we demonstrate the overlooked role associated with the structurally tetragonal distortion in elevating the of NiS; this is in distinct contrast to the previously expected hybridization and bandwidth regulations that usually reduces . Compared to the perspective of structure distortions, the orbital hybridization and band regulation of NiS are ∼19 times more effective adjustment in .

Reconstruction universally occurs over non-layered transition metal sulfides (TMSs) during oxygen evolution reaction (OER), leading to the formation of active species metal (oxy)hydroxide and thus significantly influences the OER performance. However, the reconstruction process and underlying mechanism quantitatively remain largely unexplored. Herein, we proposed an electrochemical reaction mechanism, namely sulfide oxidation reaction (SOR), to elucidate the reconstruction process of pyrite-type TMSs.

The rational design of an oxygen electrocatalyst with low cost and high activity is greatly desired for realization of the practical water-splitting industry. Herein, we put forward a rational method to construct nonprecious-metal catalysts with high activity by designing the microstructure and modulating the electronic state. Iron (Fe)-doped NiP hollow polyhedrons decorated with nitrogen-doped carbon (Fe-NiP/NC HPs) are prepared by a sequential metal-organic-framework-templated strategy.

It is very important to develop transition metal-based electrocatalysts with excellent activity, high stability and low-cost for overall water splitting. In this work, the Fe-doped NiS/NF amorphous/crystalline heterostructure nanoarrays (Fe-NiS/NF) was synthesized by a simple one-step method. The resulting hierarchically structured nanoarrays offer the advantages of large surface area, high structural void fraction and accessible internal surfaces.
