Two-dimensional (2D) Pt-group ultrathin nanosheets (NSs) are promising advanced electrocatalysts for energy-related catalytic reactions. However, improving the electrocatalytic activity of 2D NSs through addition abundant grain boundaries (GBs) and understanding underlying formation mechanism remain significant challenges. Herein, we report controllable synthesis a series Rh-based nanocrystals (e.g., Rh nanoparticles, NSs, with GBs) CO-mediated kinetic control route. In light NSs' structural...

Abstract Nonmetal heteroatom incorporation into the lattice of host materials is a common way to regulate surface electronic structure electrocatalysts boost their electrocatalytic performance. However, will inevitably trigger strain and vacancy, which may lead large changes in materials. In this situation, reconstruction doped catalysts easily occurs during catalytic process under harsh alkaline media, hinders understanding structure–activity correlation between Herein, taking cobalt...

Abstract Constructing atomic‐scale dispersed noble metal electrocatalysts holds enormous potential toward alkaline hydrogen oxidation reactions (HOR) owing to the high intrinsic activity and atom utilization. Here, this work shows that Ir clusters anchored on different types of molybdenum carbides (Ir/α‐MoC 1‐x , Ir/β‐Mo 2 C) with tunable electronic interactions display distinct performance in HOR. Notably, mass Ir/α‐MoC stronger interaction is roughly twice C. Moreover, has reached an...

Abstract Understanding the phase structure‐dependent catalytic performance is of great significance for investigation advanced electrocatalysts. At present, research in engineering metal materials electrocatalysis predominantly concentrates on iron group, platinum and coinage group metals with A1‐, A2‐, A3‐ type structures. However, beyond above other types structures still poorly explored. Herein, using tungsten as a substrate to support iridium, it shown that iridium‐embedded diverse...

Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), as a green and sustainable method for ammonia synthesis, has become one of the candidates to substitute industrial Haber–Bosch synthesis in near future. In this work, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were successfully anchored on bismuth sulfide nanorods (Bi2S3 NRs), which acted highly efficient electrocatalytic NRR catalysts. The N-philic nature Bi unique mutual coordination Au–S–Bi can greatly promote adsorption form intermediate product N2H*,...

Nickel (Ni) based materials with non-metal heteroatom doping are competitive substitutes for platinum group catalyst toward alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). However, the incorporation of atom into lattice conventional fcc phase Ni can easily trigger a structural transformation, forming hcp nonmetallic intermetallic compounds. Such tangle phenomenon makes it difficult to uncover relationship between HOR catalytic activity and effect on Ni. Herein, taking trace carbon doped (C-Ni)...

Developing efficient atomic-scale metal-supported catalysts is of great significance for energy conversion technologies. However, the precise modulation electron transfer between metal and supporter in to further improve catalytic activity still a major challenge. Herein, we show tunable Pt tungsten nitride/oxide supports (namely, Pt/WN Pt/W18O49). with modest exchange Pt/W18O49 aggressive exhibit notably different activities alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), which shows 5.7-fold...
