Rhombohedral nickel sulfide thin films were deposited on c-sapphire substrate via the atomic layer deposition (ALD) method using acetylacetonate [Ni(acac)2] as and H2S gas sulfur precursors. The self-limiting nature of ALD process is obtained in temperature range 200–240 °C, which provides crystalline NiS without further annealing. A growth rate ∼0.2 Å/cycle was observed at 200 °C. As-deposited studied for non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensing. exhibit an excellent sensitivity 5.78...
Abstract This study demonstrates the electrochemical reduction of carbon monoxide (COR) at high current densities in a zero‐gap electrolyzer cell and stack.
