A novel binder-free electrode material of NiMoO4@CoMoO4 hierarchical nanospheres anchored on nickel foam with excellent electrochemical performance has been synthesized via a facile hydrothermal strategy. Microstructures and morphologies samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) photoelectron (XPS). Besides, the effect Ni/Co molar ratios raw materials behaviors is also investigated...

Recently, considerable efforts have been made to satisfy the future requirements of electrochemical energy storage using novel functional electrode materials. Binary transition metal oxides (BTMOs) possess multiple oxidation states that enable redox reactions, showing higher supercapacitive properties than single component oxides. In this work, a facile hydrothermal method is provided for synthesis wall-like hierarchical oxide MMoO4 (M = Ni, Co) nanosheet arrays, which are directly grown on...

Abstract We successfully developed a simple electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method to decorate the MoSe 2 nanosheets on carbon fiber surface of cloth (MoSe /CC). With this process, can be uniformly and tightly deposited flexible conductor form 3D binder-free electrode for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The film thickness also controlled by EPD time. Directly used as electrodes reaction, as-prepared /CC samples exhibit excellent catalytic activity in an acidic electrolyte (21 mA/cm at...

Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is crucial for suppressing Li dendrite growth in high-energy lithium metal (LiM) batteries. Unfortunately, the naturally formed SEI on LiM anode surface carbonate electrolytes cannot suppress dendrites, resulting a continuous consumption of and during cycling. Artificial normally lacks self-healing self-regulating capability, gradually losing effectiveness In this work, we report phenomenon LiRAP-ASEI that can effectively dendrites investigated using situ...

A binder-free electrode is prepared by directly depositing electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO) on the metal current collector. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectrum have been used to demonstrate effective reduction of electrode, porous structure ERGO film was further characterized scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical properties were investigated cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge–discharge impedance (EIS). Electrochemical measurements...

Tungsten carbide (WC) is an alternative to the costly and resource-constrained Pt-based catalysts. Herein, a one-step facile easily scalable approach reported synthesize ultrafine WC nanocrystals encapsulated in porous N-doped carbon nanospheres (NC) by simple self-polymerization, drying, annealing. It worth mentioning that this developed method has four novel features: (1) synthesis process, without any hard template or hydrocarbon gas feeding, is, notably, very efficient with low cost; (2)...

Carbon efficiency is one of the most pressing problems carbon dioxide electroreduction today. While there have been studies on anion exchange membrane electrolyzers with (gas) and bipolar bicarbonate (aqueous) feedstocks, both suffer from low efficiency. In electrolyzers, this due to carbonate crossover, whereas in exsolution solution culprit. Here, we first elucidate root cause liquid thermodynamic calculations then achieve carbon-efficient by adopting a near-neutral-pH cation membrane,...

Designing highly active, stable, and cost-efficient electrocatalysts as alternatives to replace Pt is extremely desirable for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Despite much progress that has been made based on complete nonprecious metals (NPMs), very few NPM catalysts have shown comparable performance Pt-based catalysts. Herein, a cost-efficient, environmentally friendly, scalable method synthesize novel ruthenium(Ru)-doped transition-metal carbide (Mo2C) hybrid catalyst was proposed. The...
