A mini-review of noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for overall water splitting in non-alkaline electrolytes

Development of noble-metal-free materials with remarkable electrocatalytic water-splitting performance in acidic or neutral media has sparked considerable attention in recent years.Herein,we review the latest research on design and fabrication of precious-metal-free catalytic materials for overall water electrolysis in non-alkaline environment,especially highlighting several optimizing approaches to enhance the catalytic behavior and to realize effective bifunctional electrocatalysts.All these involved noble-metal-free electrocatalysts are classified into transition-metal oxides(TMOs),transition-metal nitrides(TMNs),transition-metal carbides(TMCs),transition-metal phosphides(TMPs),transition-metal chalcogenides,metal complexes,and metal-free carbons,as shown in the main part.Besides,the paper also offers an introduction of the fundamental electrochemistry of water splitting before entering the subject,as well as a prospective discussion on mechanism understanding,novel catalysts fabrication,and standardized performance measurements/evaluation in the last section.

Electro-catalytic degradation properties of Ti/SnO_2–Sb electrodes doped with different rare earths

Ti/SnO2–Sb electrode has a good effect on the removal of organic pollutants. But its short service life limits its large-scale application in industry. Electro-catalytic degradation performances and service life of the electrode can be significantly improved by doping rare earth（RE） ions into the oxide coating of Ti/SnO2–Sb electrode. Ti/SnO2–Sb electrodes doped with different RE elements（Ce, Dy, La, and Eu） were prepared by the thermal decomposition method at 550 ℃. Electro-catalytic degradation performances of electrodes doped with different RE elements were evaluated by linear sweep voltammetry（LSV） and Tafel curves. During the electrolysis,the conversion of p-nitrophenol was performed with these electrodes as anodes under galvanostatic control. The structures and morphologies of the surface coating of the electrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscope（SEM）. The results demonstrate that the electro-catalytic degradation performances of Ti/SnO2–Sb electrodes are improved to different levels by doping different RE ions. Improved Ti/SnO2–Sb electrodes by the introduction of different RE have higher oxygen evolution potential, better electro-catalysis ability, better coverage,and longer electrode life.

Insightful understanding of three-phase interface behaviors in 1T-2H MoS_(2)/CFP electrode for hydrogen evolution improvement

Hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)catalytic electrodes under actual working conditions show interesting mass transfer behaviors at solid(electrode)/liquid(electrolyte)/gas(hydrogen)three-phase interfaces.These behaviors are essential for forming a continuous and effective physical contact region between the electrolyte and the electrode and require further detailed understanding.Here,a case study on 1 T-2 H phase molybdenum disulfide(Mo S_(2))/carbon fiber paper(CFP)catalytic electrodes is performed.Rapid gas-liquid mass transfer at the interface for enhancing the working area stability and capillarity for increasing the electrode working area is found.The real scenario,wherein the energy utilization efficiency of the as-prepared non-noble metal catalytic electrode exceeds that of the noble metal catalytic electrode,is disclosed.Specifically,a fluid dynamics model is developed to investigate the behavior mechanism of hydrogen bubbles from generation to desorption on the catalytic electrode surface with different hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties.These new insights and theoretical evidence on the non-negligible three-phase interface behaviors will identify opportunities and motivate future research in high-efficiency,stability,and low-cost HER catalytic electrode development.
