Ternary metal sulfides for electrocatalytic energy conversion

Recent developments in various types of ternary metal sulfides (TMSs) for electrocatalytic energy conversion are summarized and discussed.

Synthesis of ternary sulfide nanomaterials using dithiocarbamate complexes as single source precursors

Heating mixtures of dithiocarbamate complexes in oleylamine leads to the formation of nanoparticulate ternary metal sulfides, the physical nature and phase of which can be tailored depending upon the reaction conditions adopted.

Wrapping CuCo2S4 arrays on nickel foam with Ni2(CO3)(OH)2 nanosheets as a high-performance faradaic electrode

Ternary metal sulfides represent a new class of faradaic electrode material outperforming their oxide counterparts.

Mesoporous MnCo2S4 nanosheet arrays as an efficient catalyst for Li–O2 batteries

Ternary metal sulfides and ternary metal oxides have received much attention as potential electrodes for high performance rechargeable batteries.

Nanostructured binary and ternary metal sulfides: synthesis methods and their application in energy conversion and storage devices

Metal sulfides, known as being analogous to metal oxides, have emerged as a new class of materials for energy conversion and/or storage applications due to their low cost and high electrochemical activity.

The investigation of the electrochemically supercapacitive performances of mesoporous CuCo2S4

Ternary metal sulfides have been regarded as a promising class of electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors since they can offer higher electronic conductivity and higher electrochemical activity than single-component metal sulfides.

Effect of sulfur vacancies on the nitrogen photofixation performance of ternary metal sulfide photocatalysts

The NH4+ generation rate over the as-prepared ternary metal sulfide catalysts is linearly related to the sulfur vacancy concentration, confirming that the photocatalytic reduction capacity of N2 over ternary metal sulfides is highly dependent on the amount of sulfur vacancies.
