AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed carbon dots (CDs) from bombyx mori silk, which feature many negative groups, to enhance electrocatalytic performance.
- These silk-derived carbon dots were combined with nano-CoP to create an effective interface for electrocatalysis.
- The unique structure of the bamboo-like CDs/CoP nanoarray helps generate more hydrogen radicals and speeds up the process of water decomposition.
Article Abstract
Inspired by the structure of puzzles, bombyx mori silk-derived carbon dots (CDs) with abundant negative groups, as jigsaw pieces, were combined with nano-CoP to create a highly effective electrocatalytic interface. The hollow cavity and thin wall of the bamboo-like CDs/CoP nanoarray is beneficial to produce more H˙ radicals and accelerate water decomposition.
