Investigating metal (M = Mn, Fe, and Ni)-doped Co(OH) nanofibers for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution and electrochemical biosensing performance.

To achieve efficient and cost-effective electrochemical water splitting, highly active and affordable nanostructured catalysts are the key requirement. The current study presents the investigations of the efficacy of metal (Mn, Fe and Ni)-doped Co(OH) nanofibers towards oxygen evolution water splitting. Notably, Ni-doped Co(OH) demonstrates superior OER performance in KOH electrolyte, surpassing standard IrO with a modest potential of 1.

Photocatalysis and perovskite oxide-based materials: a remedy for a clean and sustainable future.

The massive use of non-renewable energy resources by humankind to fulfill their energy demands is causing severe environmental issues. Photocatalysis is considered one of the potential solutions for a clean and sustainable future because of its cleanliness, inexhaustibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Significant efforts have been made to design highly proficient photocatalyst materials for various applications such as water pollutant degradation, water splitting, CO reduction, and nitrogen fixation.
