Abstract Solar-driven hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) production presents unique merits of sustainability and environmental friendliness. Herein, efficient solar-driven H through dioxygen reduction is achieved by employing polymeric carbon nitride framework with sodium cyanaminate moiety, affording a rate 18.7 μmol h −1 mg an apparent quantum yield 27.6% at 380 nm. The overall photocatalytic transformation process systematically analyzed, some previously unknown structural features interactions...
Abstract PtSe 2 is a typical noble metal dichalcogenide (NMD) that holds promising possibility for next‐generation electronics and photonics. However, when applied in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), it exhibits sluggish kinetics due to the insufficient capability of absorbing active species. Here, we construct /Pt heterointerface boost dynamics , enabled by an situ electrochemical method. It found Se vacancies are induced around heterointerface, reducing coordination environment....
Abstract The coordination environment is crucial for the activity of an electrocatalyst, which defines interaction between central and adjacent atoms. In traditional 2D MX 2 (M = Mo, W, etc., X S, Se), M usually coordinated with 6 atoms in either trigonal prismatic (2H) or octahedral (1T) polyhedrons. With such a configuration, only edge sites exhibit hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here, planar‐coordination transition metal chalcogenide, PdSe reported, as efficient electrocatalyst HER...
Abstract Alloying noble metals with non‐noble is a promising method to fabricate catalysts, the advantages of reduced metal usage and excellent activity. In this work, electron‐abundant Ir/Rh sites, as highly active centers for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), are realized by fabricating Ir 1− x Rh Sb alloys through arc‐melting method. The electron transfer from makes latter negatively charged, leading considerably optimized adsorption H species during HER. As result, alloy exhibits...
Alloying techniques show genuine potential to develop more effective catalysts than Pt for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), which is the key challenge in many important electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices, such as fuel cells metal‐air batteries. Tremendous efforts have been made improve ORR activity by designing bimetallic nanocatalysts, limited only alloys of platinum transition metals (TMs). The Pt‐TM suffer from critical durability acid‐media cells. Here a new class...
Zr-based Laves phase alloys, especially ZrMn<sub>2</sub>, have been widely studied because of their good hydrogen storage properties.
Abstract The large-scale practical application of fuel cells cannot come true if the high-priced Pt-based electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) be replaced by other efficient, low-cost and stable electrodes. Here, based on density functional theory (DFT), we exploited potentials layered SiC sheets as a novel catalyst ORR. From our DFT results, it can predicted that exhibit excellent ORR catalytic activity without CO poisoning, while poisoning is major drawback in conventional...
Utilization of non-lithium-ion batteries in next-generation renewable energy storage is hindered by the lack appropriate electrode materials with desired electrochemical performance. Motivated low peeling-off (Jing et al.

The properties, i.e., ion intercalation mechanism, diffusion...
Two-dimensional (2D) Dirac materials with ultrahigh electronic conductivity exhibit great promise for application as an anode material in non-lithium-ion batteries (NLIBs) a reduced conductive additive and binder nonactive additive. Graphene is one of the most prominent 2D high electrolyte wettability; however, it cannot be used NLIBs owing to its poor affinity toward metal ions such Na, K, Ca, Mg, Al. In this work, we investigated use recently developed boron sulfide (B2S) new lightweight...

Developing efficient catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) to reduce cathode Pt loading without sacrificing performance has been under intensive research. Herein, by using density functional theory calculations, activity and stability of a monolayer supported on Pd3Al(111) as ORR catalyst have systematically studied. The simulations demonstrate that due alloying, intermediates bind weakly Pt/Pd3Al(111) with optimal adsorption energy O OH. By considering elemental steps, mechanism...
The rapid development of wearable electronics has revealed an urgent need for low-cost, highly flexible, and high-capacity power sources. In this sense, emerging rechargeable potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are promising candidates owing to their abundant resources, low cost, lower redox potential in nonaqueous electrolytes compared lithium-ion batteries. However, the fabrication flexible KIBs remains challenging because lack high-performance electrode materials. work, we investigated...
