Designing and developing cost-effective, high-performance catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is crucial for advancing hydrogen production technology. Tungsten-based sulfides (WS) exhibit great potential as efficient HER catalysts, however, the activity is limited by the larger energy required for water dissociation under alkaline conditions. Herein, we adopt a top-down strategy to construct heterostructure Co-WS nanofiber catalysts.

- Enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL) focuses on achieving higher sensitivity and better detection limits using core-shell nanostructures that leverage unique surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for stronger electromagnetic fields.
- Current structural designs face challenges due to the electrocatalytic activity of the metal core and the effects from the shell, which can interfere with SPR's contribution to ECL signals; thus, shell-isolated nanoparticles (SHINs) are developed to eliminate these interferences.
- Through precise control of shell thickness and ECL platform design, researchers achieved a significant enhancement of ECL signals (up to ≈250-fold), particularly with a monolayer SHINs setup, facilitating advanced sensing
