Controllable synthesis of a hybrid mesoporous sheets-like FeNiS@ P, N-doped carbon electrocatalyst for alkaline oxygen evolution reaction.

Owing to the high cost of precious metal catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the production of highly efficient and affordable electrocatalysts is important for generating pollution-free and renewable energy via electrochemical processes. A facile hydrothermal approach was employed to synthesize hybrid mesoporous iron-nickel bimetallic sulfides @ P, N-doped carbon for the OER. The prepared FeNiS@C exhibited an overpotential (η) of 250 mV at 10 mA/cm.

Ultrasound-Assisted Preparation and Performance Regulation of Electrocatalytic Materials.

With the advancement of scientific research, the introduction of external physical methods not only adds extra freedom to the design of electro-catalytical processes for green technologies but also effectively improves the reactivity of materials. Physical methods can adjust the intrinsic activity of materials and modulate the local environment at the solid-liquid interface. In particular, this approach holds great promise in the field of electrocatalysis.
