July 28, 2020 Researchers examined various 2D layered photoanodes/photocathodes, including graphitic carbon nitrides, transition metal dichalcogenides, layered double hydroxides, layered bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets, and MXenes, combined with advanced nanocarbons (carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and graphdiyne) as co-catalysts to assemble integrated photoelectrodes for oxygen/hydrogen evolution reactions.

April 27, 2021 Researchers designed an outstanding HER electrocatalyst, highly dispersed rhodium (Rh) nanoparticles with an average diameter of only 3 nm supported on boron (B) nanosheets. The HER catalytic activity is even comparable to that of commercial platinum catalysts.

November 25, 2020 Researchers prepared an N-doped graphene-decorated NiCo alloy coupled with mesoporous NiCoMoO nano-sheet grown on 3D nickel foam (NiCo@C-NiCoMoO/NF) for water splitting.

April 27, 2021 Researchers summarized four main strategies for improving the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of Ru-based catalysts.

August 13, 2021 Using first-principles calculations, researchers designed a defect and N-, S-, P-doped penta-graphene (PG) as a two-dimensional (2D) electrocatalyst for HER. Its stability, electronic properties and catalytic performance were investigated.
