The rational design and development of the low-cost and effective electrocatalysts toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are essential in the storage and conversion of clean and renewable energy sources. Herein, a ternary copper-cobalt sulfide nanosheets electrocatalysts (denoted as CuCoS/CC) for electrochemical water oxidation has been synthesized on carbon cloth (CC) via the sulfuration of CuCo-based precursors. The obtained CuCoS/CC reveals excellent electrocatalytic performance toward OER in 1.0 M KOH. It exhibits a particularly low overpotential of 276 mV at current density of 10 mA cm−2, and a small Tafel slope (58 mV decade−1), which is superior to the current commercialized noble-metal electrocatalysts, such as IrO2. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of Cu and Co atoms and sulfidation, electrons transport and ions diffusion are significantly enhanced with the increase of active sites, thus the kinetic process of OER reaction is boosted. Our studies will serve as guidelines in the innovative design of non-noble metal electrocatalysts and their application in electrochemical water splitting

An ingenious design for a three-layer sulfur cathode is demonstrated, in which the pure sulfur layer is sandwiched between carbon nanotube (CNT) films. The unique feature of this particular model is that the sulfur layer does not contain any conductive materials, and therefore, the top CNT film of the prepared three-layer CNT/S/CNT electrode is electrically isolated from the bottom CNT film. Scanning electron microscopy studies revealed that the three-layer cathode was transformed into a single CNT cathode, with proximate contact between the two CNT films in the upper plateau of the first discharge. The lithium–sulfur cells employing a CNT/S/CNT cathode exhibited remarkably enhanced performance in terms of the specific capacity, rate property, and cycling stability compared to the cells with a sulfur-coated CNT cathode. This can mainly be attributed to the top CNT film, which serves not only as an interlayer to trap the migrating polysulfides, but also as an electrode to facilitate the redox reaction of active materials. Such an innovative approach is promising as it may promote the rational design of high-performance sulfur cathodes.

Mn3O4 nanosheets were deposited electrochemically on graphene modified carbon cloth (G–CC). The graphene layer improved significantly the hydrophilic property of carbon cloth and its compatibility with active materials, as a result, lower resistance and better structural stability were obtained for Mn3O4/G–CC compared with those for the electrode based on neat carbon cloth. Furthermore, the Mn3O4/G–CC possessed a capacitance of 1335 mF cm–2 at a current density of 2 mA cm−2, and a capacitance retention of up to 88 % after 2000 cycles at 10 mA cm–2. It is believed that manganese oxide was anchored strongly on graphene layer through C–O–metal bonds, and the graphene layer on the surface of the CC could serve as elastic buffering layers to release the strain within manganese oxide, resulting the remarkable improvements in electrochemical performance. These excellent characteristics make this kind of the composites promising candidates as high performance electrodes for supercapacitor.
