A challenging but pressing task to design and synthesize novel, efficient, robust pH-universal hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts for scalable sustainable production through electrochemical water splitting. Herein, we report a facile method prepare an efficient Ru-M (M=Ni, Mn, Cu) bimetal nanoparticle carbon quantum dot hybrid (RuM/CQDs) HER. The RuNi/CQDs catalysts exhibit outstanding HER performance at all pH levels. unexpected low overpotentials of 13, 58, 18 mV shown by...

Potassium metal is an appealing alternative to lithium as alkali anode for future electrochemical energy storage systems. However, the use of potassium hindered by growth unfavourable deposition (e.g., dendrites) and volume changes upon cycling. To circumvent these issues, we propose synthesis application nitrogen zinc codoped porous carbon nanofibres that act hosts.

Severe issues including volume change and dendrite growth on sodium metal anodes hinder the pursuit of applicable high-energy-density batteries. Herein, an in situ reaction approach is developed that takes metal-organic frameworks as nano-reactor pore-former to produce a mesoporous host comprised nitrogen-doped carbon fibers embedded with monodispersed Sn clusters (SnNCNFs). The hybrid shows outstanding sodiophilicity enables rapid Na infusion ultralow nucleation overpotential 2 mV. Its...
