The continuous oxidation and leachability of active sites in Ru-based catalysts hinder practical application proton-exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWE). Herein, robust inter-doped tungsten-ruthenium oxide heterostructures [(Ru-W)Ox ] fabricated by sequential rapid metal thermomigration processes are proposed to enhance the activity stability acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). introduction high-valent W species induces valence oscillation Ru during OER, facilitating cyclic transition states maintaining operation sites. preferential electronic gain heterostructure significantly stabilize RuOx on WOx substrates beyond Pourbaix limit bare RuO2 . Furthermore, asymmetric Ru-O-W units generated around interface adsorb intermediates synergistically, enhancing intrinsic OER activity. Consequently, (Ru-W)Ox not only demonstrate an overpotential 170 mV at 10 mA cm-2 excellent 300 h electrolytes but also exhibit potential for applications, as evidenced stable 0.5 A PEMWE.

Abstract As one of the most promising approaches to producing high‐purity hydrogen (H 2 ), electrochemical water splitting powered by renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power has attracted considerable interest over past decade. However, electrolysis process is seriously hampered sluggish electrode reaction kinetics, especially four‐electron oxygen evolution at anode side, which induces a high overpotential. Currently, emerging hybrid strategy proposed integrating thermodynamically favorable electro–oxidation reactions with cathode, providing new opportunity for energy–efficient H2 production. To achieve highly efficient cost–effective toward large–scale practical H production, much work been continuously done exploit alternative anodic oxidation cutting–edge electrocatalysts. This review will focus on recent developments production coupled reactions, including choice substrates, investigation electrocatalytic materials, deep understanding underlying mechanisms. Finally, some insights into scientific challenges now standing in way future advancement technique are shared, hope inspiring further innovative efforts this rapidly growing field.

Abstract Constructing multiple heterogeneous structures allows for improving the electrocatalytic activity of NiO by incorporating active sites. Unfortunately, poor conductivity makes efficient charge transfer within difficult, thereby inhibiting improvement its intrinsic activity. Herein, F‐doped NiO/Ni@C catalyst (F‐NiO/Ni@C) is fabricated via a new organic‐inorganic hybrid approach, showing both advanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and urea oxidation (UOR) The targeted F‐doping increases electron delocalization, facilitates from Ni to at nano‐interfaces. This interphase synergy provides ready‐to‐use F‐NiO sites, allowing F‐NiO/Ni@C achieve optimum H* adsorption Gibbs free energy HER lower barrier UOR. As result, as‐configured || cell requires an ultra‐low voltage 1.37 V 10 mA cm −2 in alkaline media (with 0.3 M urea), outperforming state‐of‐the‐art benchmark Pt/C|| RuO 2 (1.45 V). study reveals positive impact anion doping on useful guidelines designing monometallic catalysts UOR as well generation.

Space charge transfer of heterostructures driven by the work-function-induced built-in field can regulate electronic structure catalysts and boost catalytic activity. Herein, an epitaxial heterojunction catalyst CoO/Mo2 C with interfacial electron redistribution induced work functions (WFs) is constructed for overall water splitting via a novel top-down strategy. Theoretical simulations experimental results unveil that WFs-induced facilitates from CoO to Mo2 through formed "Co─C─Mo" bond at interface C, achieving redistribution, further optimizing Gibbs free energy primitive reaction step then accelerating kinetics hydrogen evolution (HER). As expected, effects exhibits excellent HER activity only needing overpotential 107 mV achieve 10 mA cm-2 stability 60-h continuous catalyzing. Besides, assembled behaves outstanding performance toward (1.58 V ). This provides possibility designing materials based on arising application in other fields.

Abstract Constructing effective electrocatalysts based on ultrafine heterostructures is a promising strategy for boosting catalytic performance by exposing active sites and increasing specific surface area. However, the fabrication of catalytically with elaborate architectures still poorly developed owing to synthetic challenges, intrinsic mechanism heterogeneous interfaces remains unclear because insufficient evidence regarding real sites. In this study, homologous Ni 2 P–Co P (Ni P/C) are created using topological transformation from Ni–Co layered double hydroxide/carbon (Ni–Co LDH/C) interconnected structure in single nanosheet. When employed as catalysts urea oxidation reaction (UOR), P/C exhibit superior activity stability, attributed optimized geometric electronic structures Specifically, it takes an ultralow potential 1.27 V reach current density 10 mA cm −2 small Tafel slope 28.71 mV dec −1 . The operando analyses calculation results reveal that cobalt incorporation can reduce generation reconstructive species optimize absorption/desorption energy intermediates. Overall, study proposes efficient cost‐effective UOR electrocatalyst offers new high‐performance heterostructure design widespread application.
