Article Abstract
The inevitable oxidation of nickel-metal-based catalysts exposed to the air will lead to instability and poor reproducibility of a catalytic interface, which is usually ignored and greatly hinders their application for the catalysis of alkaline hydrogen oxidation. The details on the formation of a world-class nickel-based HOR catalyst Ni-MoO/C-500 are reported via an interfacial reconstruction triggered by passive oxidation upon air exposure. Interfacial reconstruction, initiated with various Ni-Mo metal ratios and annealing temperature, can fine-tune the Ni-Mo interface with an increased work function and a reduced d-band center. The optimized Ni-MoO/C exhibits a record high mass activity of 102.8 mA mg , a top-level exchange current density of 76.5 µA cm , and exceptional resistance to CO poisoning at 1000 ppm CO for hours. The catalyzed alkaline exchange membrane fuel cell exhibits a maximum power output of 600 mW cm and excellent stability, ranking it as one of the most active non-precious metals HOR catalysts to date.

The development of efficient nonprecious metal catalysts for the alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) catalyst in alkaline anion-exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) is of great significance. Nickel-based catalysts are considered to be promising HOR catalysts. Here, we report the interfacial engineering of reduced graphene oxide-supported Ni and Ni-Mo bimetallic nitrides (Ni-NiMoN/rGO), which exhibit excellent catalytic activity of alkaline HOR.

The development of Pt-based catalysts exhibiting high activity and selectivity towards the direct dehydrogenation pathway in direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs) is highly desirable, but remains a significant challenge. Herein, we present octahedron PtNiCoMoCu core/shell high-entropy alloy (PtNiCoMoCu HEA) with PtCu core and PtNiCoMo shell, featuring lattice strain and low-coordination sites, and their enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The electrochemical analysis reveals that PtNiCoMoCu HEA exhibits the unprecedented mass activity (8.

High-entropy alloy (HEA) catalysts have great potential for hydrogen production in electrocatalytic water splitting, which is superior to conventional Pt/C catalysts. In this work, the noble-metal-free HEA CoNiCuMoZn was fabricated by pulsed electrodeposition, and its structural reorganization was carried out by cyclic voltammetry. The reconstituted HEA, R-CoNiCuMoZn, was changed to spherical particles with many wrinkles on the surface.

Developing efficient catalysts for the urea oxidation reaction (UOR) is of critical importance in advancing sustainable energy. The transient loss of high-valence Ni active sites is one of the key factors limiting the reaction kinetics of UOR. To addressing this challenge, we successfully synthesize transition metal M (M = Mn, Co, Fe)-doped NiMoO amorphized self-supported electrodes (NiMoO/M) through a two-step hydrothermal method.

Single atom and nanocluster catalysts are extensively investigated in heterogeneous catalysis due to their high catalytic activity and atomic utilization, while their coexisting properties and potentially synergistic effect are yet to be clarified. Herein, we construct three systems of atomic-scale catalysts (xNi/MoTiAlC, x = 0.5, 1, and 1.
