Abstract Electronic structure greatly determines the band structures and charge carrier transport properties of semiconducting photocatalysts consequently their photocatalytic activities. Here, by simply calcining mixture graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 ) sodium borohydride in an inert atmosphere, boron dopants nitrogen defects are simultaneously introduced into g‐C . The resultant boron‐doped nitrogen‐deficient exhibits excellent activity for oxygen evolution, with highest evolution...
Abstract Photocatalysis suffers from rapid recombination of photoexcited charge carriers and limited active sites for the catalytic reactions, resulting in unsatisfactory performances that are far practical application. Single metal atom catalysts not only increase number due to maximum atom‐utilization efficiency, but also enhance intrinsic activity each site because their unique geometric electronic features. Furthermore, single provide a platform photocatalysis research on atomic level....
Abstract It is a great challenge to design active and durable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts for proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer due the high dissolution of in acidic solution. Herein, Nd‐doped RuO 2 (Nd 0.1 x ) developed enhanced 0.5 m H SO 4 solution with an overpotential 211 mV achieve 10 mA cm −2 . The theoretical calculation reveals that improved activity Nd moderate decrease d‐band center energy, which balances adsorption desorption intermediates....
Exploring highly efficient non-noble-metal bifunctional catalysts for water electrolysis is vital the commercial production of hydrogen.
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been widely investigated for photocatalytic H2 evolution and photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting since 1972. However, its wide bandgap (3.0–3.2 eV) limits the optical absorption of TiO2 sufficient utilization solar energy. Blackening proposed as an effective strategy to enhance thus PEC activities, aroused widespread research interest. In this article, we reviewed recent progress black splitting, along with detailed introduction unique structural features,...
Abstract Supported metal catalysts often suffer from rapid degradation under harsh conditions due to material failure and weak metal-support interaction. Here we propose using reductive hydrogenated borophene in-situ synthesize Pt/B/C with small sizes (~2.5 nm), high-density dispersion (up 80 wt% Pt ), promising stability, originating forming Pt-B bond which are theoretically ~5× stronger than Pt-C. Based on the module, a series (~18 kinds) of carbon supported binary, ternary, quaternary,...
Flexible capacitive tactile sensors show great promise in personalized healthcare monitoring and human–machine interfaces, but their practical application is normally hindered because they rarely possess the required comprehensive performance, that is, high pressure sensitivity fast response within a broad range, structure robustness, performance consistency, etc. This paper aims to engineer flexible with highly ordered porous dielectric microstructures 3D-printing-based fully...
Rational design and synthesis of bifunctional electrocatalysts with high efficiency low-cost for overall water splitting is still a challenge. A simple approach reported to prepare phosphorus yttrium codoped cobalt hydroxyfluoride (YP-Co(OH)F) nanoarray on nickel foam, which displays high-performance both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) oxygen in alkaline solution. The codoping into Co(OH)F leads tuned electronic environment favorable electron transfer, thus resulting superior activity....
