Herein, Co, Fe co-doped Ni3Se4 nano-flake array (Ni0.62Co0.35Fe0.03)3Se4) was prepared on conductive carbon cloth by a two-step hydrothermal method. XRD and EDX analysis show that the nanosheets are monoclinic Ni3Se4, were doped into lattice of Ni3Se4. Electrochemical tests showed co-doping can effectively improve hydrogen evolution activity in acidic alkaline environment. When current density ...

introduction: nowadays,  considerable developments  in  the field  of  radiotherapy have  been  achieved.  they  include  the  advances  made  in  the  equipments  and  treatment  planning  techniques  which  require  highly complex calculations. such achievements have made it possible to treat cancer patients not only  with  higher  radiation  dose  but  also  with  higher  precision  and  con...

A first principles-based mean field model was developed for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) taking account of the coverage- and material-dependent reversible potentials of the elementary steps. This model was applied to the simulation of single crystal surfaces of Pt, Pt alloy and Pt core-shell catalysts under Ar and O(2) atmospheres. The results are consistent with those shown by past expe...

Advanced materials for electrocatalytic and photoelectrochemical water splitting are central to the area of renewable energy. In this work, we developed a selective solvothermal synthesis of MoS(2) nanoparticles on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets suspended in solution. The resulting MoS(2)/RGO hybrid material possessed nanoscopic few-layer MoS(2) structures with an abundance of exposed edge...

The kinetics of H(D) absorption into a b-phase PdHx (PdDx) electrode are discussed numerically, based on the Volmer–Tafel route of the hydrogen (deuterium) evolution reaction and thermodynamic and kinetic data of H(D) in the b-phase PdHx (PdDx). It is found that the asymptotic loading ratio of H(D) is determined only by the Tafel step under galvanostatic conditions. The kinetics of H(D) absorpt...

Mo2C nanocrystals (NCs) anchored on vertically aligned graphene nanoribbons (VA-GNR) as hybrid nanoelectrocatalysts (Mo2C-GNR) are synthesized through the direct carbonization of metallic Mo with atomic H treatment. The growth mechanism of Mo2C NCs with atomic H treatment is discussed. The Mo2C-GNR hybrid exhibits highly active and durable electrocatalytic performance for the hydrogen-evolution...

The kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at passive oxide covered polycrystalline Fe electrodes in aqueous alkaline solution were examined using both dc steady state polarisation and ac impedance techniques. It proved difficult to obtain reproducible polarisation data for bright anodes, and so an electrochemical pre-treatment routine was devised. Upon ageing of a given electrode spec...

The sustainable production of hydrogen and oxygen through the electrolysis water requires development an efficient electrocatalyst. In this work, we report electrocatalytic activity Pd nanoparticles dispersed on CeO2/N, S-rGO (where N, represents nitrogen sulfur-doped reduced graphene oxide). were synthesized by hydrothermal chemical reduction methods, respectively. Electrochemical measurements...
