Abstract Highly efficient and stable catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction, especially in alkaline conditions are crucial practical demands of electrochemical water splitting. Here, synthesis a novel RuAu single‐atom alloy (SAA) by laser ablation liquid is reported.

Single-atom catalysts based on metal-N4 moieties and anchored carbon supports (defined as M-N-C) are promising for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Among those, M-N-C with 4d 5d transition metal (TM4d,5d) centers much more durable not susceptible to the undesirable Fenton reaction, especially compared 3d ones. However, ORR activity of these TM4d,5d-N-C is still far from satisfactory; thus far, there few discussions about how accurately tune ligand fields single-atom TM4d,5d sites in order...

Iron–nickel sulfide ((Ni,Fe)3S2) is one of the most promising bifunctional electrocatalysts for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen (OER) in alkaline media because their metallic conductivity low cost. However, reported HER activity (Ni,Fe)3S2 still unsatisfactory. Herein, three-dimensional self-supported phosphorus-doped nanosheet arrays on Ni foam (P-(Ni,Fe)3S2/NF) are synthesized by a simple one-step simultaneous phosphorization sulfuration route, which exhibits dramatically...

Bimetallic layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are promising catalysts for anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media. Despite good stability, NiCo LDH displays an unsatisfactory OER activity relative to the most robust NiFe and CoFe LDH.
