Constructing composite structures is an essential approach for obtaining multiple functionalities in a single entity. Available synthesis methods of the composites need to be urgently exploited; especially in situ construction. Here, a NiS/NiFe O composite through a local metal-S coordination at the interface is reported, which is derived from phase reconstruction in the highly defective matrix. X-ray absorption fine structure confirms that long-range order is broken via the local metal-S coordination and, by using electron energy loss spectroscopy, the introduction of NiS/NiFe O interfaces during the irradiation of plasma energy is identified. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that in situ phase reconfiguration is crucial for synergistically reducing energetic barriers and accelerating reaction kinetics toward catalyzing the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). As a result; it leads to an overpotential of 230 mV @10 mA cm for the OER and a half-wave potential of 0.81 V for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR); as well as an excellent zinc-air battery (ZAB) performance with a power density of 148.5 mW cm . This work provides a new compositing strategy in terms of fast phase reconstruction of bifunctional catalysts.

In recent years, there has been significant interest in transition-metal sulfides (TMSs) due to their economic affordability and excellent catalytic activity. Nevertheless, it is difficult for TMSs to achieve satisfactory performance due to problems such as low conductivity, limited catalytic activity, and inadequate stability. Therefore, a catalyst with a heterostructure constituted of a nickel-iron-layered double hydroxide, nickel sulfide, molybdenum disulfide, and cerium dioxide was designed.

Heterointerface engineering is presently considered a valuable strategy for enhancing the microwave absorption (MA) properties of materials via compositional modification and structural design. In this study, a sulfur-doped multi-interfacial composite (FeS/NiS@C) coated with NiFe-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) is successfully prepared using a hydrothermal method and post-high-temperature vulcanization. When assembled into twisted surfaces, the NiFe-LDH nanosheets exhibit porous morphologies, improving impedance matching, and microwave scattering.

This work reports a fundamental study on the relationship of the electronic structure, catalytic activity and surface reconstruction process of Fe doped NiS (FeNiS) for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). A combined photoemission and X-ray absorption spectroscopic study reveals that Fe doping introduces more occupied Fe 3d states at the top of the valence band and thereby induces a metallic phase. Meanwhile, Fe doping also significantly increases the OER activity and results in much better stability with the optimum found for FeNiS.
