Molybdenum disulfide has been one of the most studied hydrogen evolution catalyst materials in recent years, but its disadvantages, such as poor conductivity, hinder further development. Here, we employ common hydrothermal method, followed by an additional solvothermal method to construct uncommon molybdenum with two crystal forms 1T and 2H improve catalytic properties. The low overpotential (180 mV) small Tafel slope (88 mV/dec) all indicated that had favorable performance for evolution....
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can act as precursors or templates to a myriad of nanostructured materials that are difficult prepare. In this study, Co-MOF nanorods (NRs) were prepared at room temperature followed by calcination and hydrothermal sulfurization strategy transform the MOF into CoS NRs on carbon cloth (CoS/CC). Intriguingly, resultant 3D sulfide serve scaffolds electrodeposit layered double hydroxides (LDHs) surfaces. Through combining advantages structure composition,...

Combined with its double network, an effective charge channel that will not be affected by replacement, is therefore...
Abstract Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) promises a route to low‐cost and grid‐scale electricity storage using renewable energy resources. However, the interplay of mass transport activation processes high‐loading catalysts makes it challenging drive high‐performance density VRFB.

The functional accommodates electron‐regulated atomic‐Bi catalyst in an asymmetric...
Abstract Transition metal oxide electrocatalysts (TMOEs) are poised to revive grid‐scale all‐vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) due their low‐cost and unique electronic properties, while often inescapably harboring surface vacancies. The role of local vacancy‐induced physicochemical properties on vanadium‐redox electrochemistry (VRE), encompassing kinetics, stability, remains profoundly unveiled. Herein, for the first time, it is revealed that vacancies induce atomic‐scale polarization in...
