Novel 3D porous tungsten carbide hybrid nanowires (p-WCx NWs) are prepared on carbon cloth as a binder-free efficient electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution. It shows a high activity and outstanding stability in both acidic and alkaline solutions.
High gravimetric and volumetric sodium storage has been achieved in a coal-based microcrystal/CNT binder-free electrode using multifunctional oxygen groups.
