AbstractHigh-efficiency electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) offers a promising strategy to address energy and environmental crisis. Platinum is the most effective electrocatalyst for the HER. However, challenging scarcity, valuableness, and poor electrochemical stability still hinder its wide application. Here, we designed an outstanding HER electrocatalyst, highly dispersed rhodium (Rh) nanoparticles with an average diameter of only 3 nm supported on boron (B) nanosheets. The HER catalytic activity is even comparable to that of commercial platinum catalysts, with an overpotential of only 66 mV in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 101 mV in 1 M KOH to reach the current density of 10 mA cm−2. Meanwhile, the catalyst exhibited impressive electrochemical durability during long-term electrochemical processes in acidic and alkaline media, even the simulated seawater environment. Theoretical calculations unraveled that the structure–activity relationship between B(104) crystal plane and Rh(111) crystal plane is beneficial to the release of hydrogen, and surface O plays a vital role in the catalysis process. Our work may gain insights into the development of supported metal catalysts with robust catalytic performance through precise engineering of the strong metal-supported interaction effect.

A Mn-doped Ni2P nanosheet array on nickel foam (Mn-Ni2P/NF) acts as a high-efficiency and durable electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction in 1.0 M KOH, driving 20 mA cm−2 at an overpotential of 103 mV, which is 82 mV less than that for Ni2P/NF.

The exploration of high-efficiency bifunctional electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has long been challenging. The rational design of a catalyst by constructing heterostructures and a doping element are possibly expected to achieve it. Herein, the utilization of flower-like Fe/C-doped-MoS2/Ni3S2-450 spherical structural materials for electrocatalytic HER and OER is introduced in this study. The carboxyferrocene-incorporated molybdenum sulfide/nickel sulfide (MoySx/NiS) nanostructures were prepared by solvothermal method. After annealing, the iron and carbon elements derived from ferrocenecarboxylic acid enhanced the electrical transport performance and provided rich electronic sites for HER and OER in alkaline media. Specifically, the optimized flower-like Fe/C-doped-MoS2/Ni3S2-450 exhibited efficient bifunctional performance in alkaline electrolyte, with low overpotentials of 188 and 270 mV required to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm−2 for HER and OER, respectively. This work provides valuable insights for the rational design of energy storage and conversion materials by the incorporation of transition metal and carbon elements into metal sulfide structures utilizing metallocene.

Interest in green synthesis methods for nanoparticle production with potential use in biology, pharmacy, and medicine is a forefront field in research. Among the routes described in the literature, the use of plant extracts as reducing and capping agents is one of the most promising. Turnera diffusa commonly called Damiana is a wild shrub traditionally used as aphrodisiac, diuretic, and for cancer and diabetes treatments. Its extracts are rich in flavonoid, phenolic, terpenoid, and other active compounds that possess antiallergic, antiviral, and antifungal activities. Besides, flavonoids have been reported to have a redox potential sufficient for metal ion reduction. Thus, this study reports a novel and facile method for green gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) synthesis using T. diffusa extracts. The samples were fully characterized by scanning electron microscopy, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ultraviolet-visible, dynamic light scattering, X-ray photoelectron, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopies. The results showed high efficiency of T. diffusa extracts to reduce and stabilize the AuNPs which showed spherical shape, 24 nm diameter, negative surface charge, and high colloidal stability at biological pH and alkaline media. Additionally, its antimicrobial activity was evaluated showing high antiseptic capacity against gram-negative Salmonella enteritis and Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 bacteria.
