Oxygen vacancies (Ov) engineering has demonstrated tremendous power to expedite electrocatalytic kinetics for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The mechanism is elusive, and most of them were attributed the decoration or creation active sites. Here, we report critical role superficial Ov in enhancing electronic transport, thereby unfolding catalytic potential NiFe-layered double hydroxides OER. We reveal that barely regulates intrinsic activities but lowers charge transport resistances by...

Abstract Iron is an extraordinary promoter to impose nickel/cobalt (hydr)oxides as the most active oxygen evolution reaction catalysts, whereas synergistic effect actively debated. Here, we unveil that species mediate a strong electrochemical interaction between iron oxides (FeO x H y ) and supporting metal oxyhydroxides. Our survey on behavior of nine oxyhydroxides (M(O)OH) uncovers FeO synergistically promotes substrates can produce exclusively. Tafel slopes correlate with presence kind...

Electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) play a central role in fuel cells and zinc–air batteries. Bimetal single atoms nanoparticle hybrids are emerging ORR electrocatalysts, superior to most exploited unary metal single-atom catalysts (SACs). Here, we report bimetal SAC-based nanofiber networks of Co3Fe7@Co/Fe-SAC efficient electrocatalysis A facile easy-to-scale-up process is developed, versatility validated three hybrids. Strong electronic interaction revealed between...

A decontaminating composite, Mg3 Al-LDH-Nb6 , has been successfully prepared by immobilizing Lindqvist [H3 Nb6 O19 ]5- (Nb6 ) into a Al-based layered double hydroxide (Mg3 Al-LDH). To our knowledge, this represents the first successful approach to immobilization of polyoxoniobate. As versatile catalyst, can effectively catalyze degradation both vesicant and nerve agent simulants multiple pathways under mild conditions. Specifically, sulfur mustard simulant, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide...

Hierarchically structured bimetal hydroxides are promising for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), yet synthetically challenging. Here, the nanoconfined hydrolysis of a hitherto unknown CoFe-bimetal-organic compound (b-MOC) is reported controllable synthesis highly OER active nanostructures CoFe layered double hydroxide (LDH). The nanoporous structures trigger in sacrificial b-MOC template, producing LDH core-shell octahedrons, and hollow nanocages with abundant...

Electronic transport plays a pivotal role in the electrolysis of semiconducting electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), while it is mostly underestimated and largely unexplored. Here, by investigating electronic behavior seven archetypical crystalline Co/Ni/Fe-based (oxy)hydroxides (unary, binary, ternary) under OER potential, we study how extent to which affects apparent catalytic performances. The transports unary metal follow order Co > Ni Fe, their binary or ternary...

The practical applications of TiO2 have been greatly suppressed by its low quantum yield, which arises from the rapid recombination photo-induced electrons and holes, poor solar efficiency, is determined band gap. Herein, W-doped coupled with Au nanoparticles (W-TiO2/Au) was designed synthesized a facile multi-step process. W-doping in lattice, on one hand, can hinder phase transition anatase to rutile structure, pure structure well preserved. On other narrow gap result oxygen vacancies, may...
