Tungsten oxide/tungsten sulfide (W18O49@WS2) core–shell nanorods prepared via controlled sulfidization reaction of W18O49 nanowhiskers showed hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity superior to WS2 nanotubes, indicating the critical role of a highly conductive oxide core in enhancing HER activity.

The energy crisis and environmental pollution have attracted much attention and have promoted researches on clean and sustainable hydrogen energy resources. With the help of highly active and stable transition metal nickel-based catalysts, the production of hydrogen from water electrolysis from electrolyzed water has become an inexpensive and efficient strategy for generating hydrogen energy. In recent years, heteroatom doping has been found to be an effective strategy to improve the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performances of nickel-based catalysts in acidic, neutral, and alkaline media. This review will highlight many recent works of inexpensive and readily available heteroatom-doped nickel-based HER catalysts. The evaluation methods for the performances of HER catalyst will be briefly described, and the role of heteroatom doping and its application in nickel-based catalyst will be summarized. This article will also point out some heteroatom doping strategies, which may provide references and inspire the design of other catalysts with dopants.

Passivation of CdSe semiconductor nanocrystals can be achieved by overcoating the particles with a homogeneous shell of a second semiconductor. Shell layers are grown in monolayer steps to ensure homogeneous growth of the shell. The relative band edges of the two materials determine the photoreactiveity of the resultant core-shell nanocrystals. The critical role of ligands in minimizing nucleation of the shell material during the growth of the passivating layer is emphasized. The delocalization of charge carriers into the shell layers can be followed spectroscopically during the growth processes. The relative spectral shifts are directly correlated to the relative energies of the band edges.
