Identifying novel classes of precatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER by water oxidation) with enhanced catalytic activity and stability is a key strategy to enable chemical energy conversion. The vast space intermetallic phases offers plenty opportunities discover OER electrocatalysts improved performance. Herein we report nickel germanide (NiGe) acting as superior durable Ni-based electro(pre)catalyst OER. It produced from molecular bis(germylene)-Ni precursor. ultra-small NiGe...
In a green energy economy, electrocatalysis is essential for chemical conversion and to produce value added chemicals from regenerative resources. To be widely applicable, an electrocatalyst should comprise the Earth's crust's most abundant elements. The 3d metal, iron, with its multiple accessible redox states has been manifold applied in chemocatalytic processes. However, due low conductivity of Fe
Amorphous CoP outperforms the crystalline phase in OER, HER and overall water splitting with low overpotential remarkable long-term stability.
Abstract A strategy to overcome the unsatisfying catalytic performance and durability of monometallic iron‐based materials for electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is provided by heterobimetallic iron–metal systems. Monometallic Fe catalysts show limited mostly due poor conductivity stability. Here, taking advantage structurally ordered highly conducting FeSn 2 nanostructure, first time, an intermetallic iron material employed as efficient anode alkaline OER, overall...
Electrochemical water splitting remains a frontier research topic in the quest to develop artificial photosynthetic systems by using noble metal-free and sustainable catalysts. Herein, highly crystalline CuSe has been employed as active electrodes for overall (OWS) alkaline media. The pure-phase klockmannite deposited on conducting nickel foam (NF) electrophoretic deposition (EPD) displayed an overpotential of merely 297 mV reaction oxygen evolution (OER) at current density 10 mA cm-2...

Abstract The low‐temperature molecular precursor approach can be beneficial to conventional solid‐state methods, which require high temperatures and lead relatively large crystalline particles. Herein, a novel, single‐step, room‐temperature preparation of amorphous nickel pnictide (NiE; EP, As) nanomaterials is reported, starting from NaOCE(dioxane) n NiBr 2 (thf) 1.5 . During application for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), anions leach, both materials fully reconstruct into...

This paper introduces IrI(CO)2(pyalc) (pyalc = (2-pyridyl)-2-propanoate) as an atom-efficient precursor for Ir-based homogeneous oxidation catalysis. compound was chosen to simplify analysis of the water catalyst species formed by previously reported Cp*IrIII(pyalc)OH precatalyst. Here, we present a comparative study on chemical and catalytic properties these two precursors. Previous studies show that oxidative activation Cp*Ir-based precursors with NaIO4 results in formation blue IrIV...
