Article Abstract
Nowadays, exploring efficient electrocatalysts is crucial for the tri-functional oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this study, we designed a novel electrocatalyst based on Mn- and B-doped Co-glycerate@cobalt carbonate hydroxide for the tri-functional OER, HER and ORR under alkaline conditions. Electrochemical measurements demonstrate overpotentials of 318 and 75 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm for the OER and HER, respectively. Moreover, a two-electrode device based on the prepared electrocatalyst required low cell voltages of 1.61 V and 1.86 V to achieve current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm, respectively. The prepared electrocatalyst exhibits an onset potential of 0.96 V and a half-wave potential of 0.89 V as a robust electrocatalyst for the ORR. The improved electrocatalytic performance of the prepared electrocatalyst can be attributed to the increased electrical conductivity enabled by heteroelement doping and synergistic effects.

The utilization of synergistic multivalent active sites holds potential in addressing the inherent sluggish kinetics of electrocatalytic reactions. Herein, we prepared au uNPs/Ni-NDC (NDC = 1,4-Naphthalenedicarboxylic acid) and leveraged the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect to drive hot electron transfer from au nanoparticles to the Ni substrate, thereby generating multivalent active sites to boost the urea oxidation reaction (UOR). Under exciting light, au uNPs/Ni-NDC exhibited a twofold increase in UOR current accompanied by a significant negative shift in onset potential.

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is critical to energy conversion technologies and requires efficient catalysts for superior performance. Herein, nitrogen-doped carbide-derived carbon (N-CDC) catalysts are prepared using novel engineered molecular architectures based on polymer-derived ceramic technology. The obtained catalyst materials show a surface N concentration of >5 wt % and a hierarchically porous structure, resulting in a specific surface area of over 2000 m g.

Water electrolysis for hydrogen production has become an industrial focus in the era of green chemistry due to its high purity of hydrogen production and environmentally friendly, efficient process. As the half reaction of water splitting at the anode, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) features a complex and sluggish process that restricts the efficiency of water splitting. The mechanism of OER varies with different electrolytes.

The performance of NiO-based electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is strongly influenced by the interface between the metal support (current collector) and the catalyst layer, which modulates electronic properties and electrochemical activity. This study systematically investigates the solid-solid interface behavior of NiO thin films prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering on Pt, Au, and Ni, followed by electrochemical characterization. Stepwise NiO deposition and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveal distinct band alignment and electronic structure differences at the metal-catalyst interface.
