Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles and Incorporation to a Porous Nickel Electrode to Improve its Catalytic Performance Towards the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction
GO content tuning gradually enhanced the HER catalytic performance of the MoS2/rGO hybrids, decreasing the Tafel slope from 82 to 48 mV per decade owing to an increase of catalytically active areas and an electronic transition of MoS2.
The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) from water is governed by electrocatalysts used. Multiple factors such as crystal structure, composition and morphology dictate the final catalytic performance. However, as multicomponent materials...
Monocrystalline Pt–Ni nanocages were successfully fabricated and exhibited great catalytic activity and enhanced stability for HER in alkaline solution.
A hierarchical electrode consisting of edge-exposed 1T phase WS2, grown on an array of surface-modified WO3 nanohelixes (NHs), and its enhanced catalytic performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are presented.
