Abstract Nanoelectrode ensembles (NEEs), prepared by Au template synthesis, are presented as a proof-of-concept sample platform to study individual electrodeposited materials by scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM). With this platform, the non-conductive membrane support does not contribute to the electrocatalytic activity recorded at each electrode. Use of low-density template membranes results in electrodes that are isolated because initial membrane pores are typically separated by significant (microscale) distances. Electrodeposition of catalytic nanoparticles onto the electrodes of the array and observation of electrocatalytic activity are demonstrated to be suitable for correlative SECCM voltammetric mapping and electron microscopy. Suitability of NEEs for studies of surface Au oxidation, hydrazine oxidation, and hydrogen evolution (hydrogen evolution reaction, HER), and at Pt particles on NEEs (Pt-NEEs) for HER is demonstrated.

The CoS2/CoSe2 hybrid catalyst exhibits superior HER electrocatalytic activity as well as excellent electrochemical durability. CoSe2/DETA nanobelts not only afford an interconnected conducting network, but also demonstrate superior HER electrocatalytic activity. High dispersion and smaller CoS2 nanoparticles on the surface can provide abundant active sites for the HER.
