Abstract Water splitting is considered as a potential sustainable and green technology for producing mass hydrogen and oxygen. A cost-effective self-supported stable electrocatalyst with excellent electrocatalytic performance in a wide pH range is greatly required for water splitting. This work reports on the synthesis and anchoring of Fe1CoxNiyP nanoparticles on vertically aligned reduced graphene oxide array (VrGO) via electroless plating. The catalytic activity of Fe1CoxNiyP nanoparticles is tuned finely by tailoring the cationic ratio of Co and Ni. Fe1Co2Ni1P/VrGO exhibits the lowest overpotential (58 and 110 mV) at 10 mA cm−2 and lowest tafel slope (31 and 33 mV dec−1) for hydrogen evolution reaction in 1.0 M KOH and 0.5 M H2SO4 respectively. Fe1Co1Ni2P/VrGO exhibits the lowest overpotential (173 mV) at 10 mA cm−2 with lowest tafel slope (47 mV dec-1) for oxygen evolution reaction. The enhanced performance of the electrocatalyst is attributed to improved electrical conductivity, synergistic effects and beneficial electronic states caused by the appropriate atomic ratio of Co and Ni in the bifunctional electrocatalyst. This study helps to explore the effect of variable cationic ratio in the cost-effective ternary iron group metal phosphides electrocatalysts to achieve enhanced electrocatalytic performance for water splitting in a wide pH range.

We report the synthesize of Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) using ablation method with reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) solution as a starting material. We have varied the concentration of rGO as following: 0.5, 2, 5 mg/ml and then have ablated them using 800 nm Ti-Sapphire femtosecond laser to obtain GQDs. From the UV-Vis data, we observed that the more concentration of rGO is being ablated, the more secondary absorption peak at 255.1 nm appeared. This secondary absorption peak is a characteristic of n-π* bonding due to the presence of oxygen defect which occurs as a result of the interaction between the laser and the water in rGO solution. We conclude that the population of oxigen defect in GQDs is increasing, following the increase of rGO concentration and could alter the optical properties of GQD. On the other hand, using Tauc’s plot, we confirm that the increase of rGO concentration as the ablated material does not alter GQDs optical band gap. However, it will slightly reduce both, direct and indirect Oxygen defect related optical band gap.

We demonstrate here a facile and effective strategy to prepare reduced graphene oxide-platinum nanoparticle (RGO-PtNP) nanohybrids by the mediation of graphite-specific peptide (GSP). For the first time, we found that GSP can be used to modify RGO non-covalently in one way, and in another way promote the formation of PtNPs on RGO as a biomolecular bridge. The created RGO-PtNP nanohybrids show enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward H2O2 and can be utilized to fabricate non-enzymatic electrochemical H2O2 sensor.
