Bimetallic nitrides are now being considered as one of the emerging advanced functional materials due to their characteristic features and remarkable physicochemical properties. Herein, we report a new crystalline bimetallic nitride (Co3ZnN) that belongs to the cubic crystal phase, which was successfully synthesized through direct nitridation of metallic salts as precursors. Co3ZnN nanoparticle...

We report a scalable process for fabricating a multiple-layer hybrid photocathode, namely Cu2O/NiO/Cu2MoS4, for H2 generation in water. In pH 5 solution and under 1 sun illumination, the photocathode showed interesting photocatalytic properties. The onset photocurrent was recorded at +0.45 V vs. RHE, while at 0 V vs. RHE, a photocurrent density of 1.25 mA cm(-2) was obtained. It was found that ...

Schematic illustration of layered transition metal oxide applicating in dual purpose as oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalyst and aqueous Li-ion batteries cathode.

Defective MoS 2 /CFC as an efficient electrocatalyst for electrocatalytic selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde with water the hydrogen donor.

Due to their exceptional catalytic properties for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and other crucial electrochemical reactions, PtCo intermetallic nanoparticle (NP) single atomic (SA) Pt metal site catalysts have received considerable attention. However, formation mechanisms at level during high-temperature annealing processes remain elusive. Here, thermally driven structure evolution of Pt–...

Ruthenium containing molecular electrocatalyst onto pyridine modified, fluorine-doped carbon cloth represents an efficient, bifunctional, and regenerable electrode for water electrolysis at pH 7.

Mn–Co spinel/carbon electrocatalyst performance exhibits a volcano-type shape which results from trade-off between electrical conductivity and the amount of oxygen groups.

The ability to monitor dynamic processes in-situ is crucial for understanding structure-property relationships in nano-engineered materials. In the past decade, the majority of atomic-scale electron microscopy studies involving gas-solid interactions were conducted in an environmental transmission electron microscope (ETEM), where the gas pressure is typically limited to no more than 1/100 of a...
