Abstract
The electrolysis of water for hydrogen production is currently receiving significant attention due to its advantageous features such as non-toxicity, safety, and environmental friendliness. This is especially crucial considering the urgent need for clean energy. However, the current method of electrolyzing water to produce hydrogen largely relies on expensive metal catalysts, significantly increasing the costs associated with its development. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is considered the most promising alternative to platinum for electrocatalyzing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to its outstanding catalytic efficiency and robust stability. However, the practical application of this material is hindered by its low conductivity and limited exposure of active sites. MoS2/SQDs composite materials were synthesized using a hydrothermal technique to deposit SQDs onto MoS2. These composite materials were subsequently employed as catalysts for the HER. Research findings indicate that incorporating SQDs can enhance electron transfer rates and increase the active surface area of MoS2, which is crucial for achieving outstanding catalytic performance in the HER. The MoS2/SQDs electrocatalyst exhibits outstanding performance in the HER when tested in a 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. It achieves a remarkably low overpotential of 204 mV and a Tafel slope of 65.82 mV dec-1 at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. Moreover, during continuous operation for 24 h, the initial current density experiences only a 17% reduction, indicating high stability. This study aims to develop an efficient and cost-effective electrocatalyst for water electrolysis. Additionally, it proposes a novel design strategy that uses SQDs as co-catalysts to enhance charge transfer in nanocomposites.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1278:341713. [PMID: 37709456 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Revised: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
Thalassemia is one of the most common monogenic diseases, which seriously affects human growth and development, cardiovascular system, liver, etc. There is currently no effective cure for this disease, making screening for thalassemia particularly important. Herein, a self-powered portable device with high sensitivity and specificity for efficiently screening of low-level thalassemia is developed which is enabled with AuNPs/MoS2@C hollow nanorods and triple nucleic acid amplification technologies. It is noteworthy that AuNPs/MoS2@C electrode shows the advantages of high electrocatalytic activity, fast carrier migration rate and large specific surface area, which can significantly improve the stability and output signal of the platform. Using high-efficiency tetrahedral DNA as the probe, the target CD122 gene associated with thalassemia triggers a catalytic hairpin assembly reaction to achieve CD122 recycling while providing binding sites for subsequent hybridization chain reaction, greatly improving the detection accuracy and sensitivity of the device. A reliable electrochemical/colorimetric dual-mode assay for CD122 is then established, with a linear response range of 0.0001-100 pM for target concentration and open circuit voltage, and the detection limit is 78.7 aM (S/N = 3); a linear range of 0.0001-10000 pM for CD122 level and RGB Blue value, with a detection limit as low as 58.5 aM (S/N = 3). This method achieves ultra-sensitive and accurate detection of CD122, providing a new method for the rapid and accurate screening of thalassemia.

Abstract
The transition toward renewable energy sources requires low-cost, efficient, and durable electrocatalysts for green H2 production. Herein, an easy and highly scalable method to prepare MoS2 nanoparticles embedded in 3D partially reduced (pr) graphene oxide (GO) aerogel microspheres (MoS2 /prGOAMs) with controlled morphology and composition is described. Given their peculiar center-diverging mesoporous structure, which allows easy access to the active sites and optimal mass transport, and their efficient electron transfer facilitated by the intimate contact between the MoS2 and the 3D connected highly conductive pr-GO sheets, these materials exhibit a remarkable electrocatalytic activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Ni atoms, either as single Ni atoms or NiO aggregates are then introduced in the MoS2 /prGOAMs hybrids, to facilitate water dissociation, which is the slowest step in alkaline HER, producing a bifunctional catalyst. After optimization, Ni-promoted MoS2 /prGOAMs obtained at 500 °C reach a remarkable η10 (overpotential at 10 mA cm-2 ) of 160 mV in 1 m KOH and 174 mV in 0.5 m H2 SO4 . Moreover, after chronopotentiometry tests (15 h) at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 , the η10 value improves to 147 mV in alkaline conditions, indicating an exceptional stability.

Abstract
Developing non-noble, earth-ample, and stable electrocatalysts are highly anticipated in oxygen-evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen-evolution reaction (HER) at unique pH conditions. Herein, we have synthesized bimetallic (nickel and iron) zeolite imidazolate framework (ZIF)-based nanofibrous materials via a simple electrospinning (ES) process. The structural stability of the fibrous material is subjected to various calcination conditions. We have elaborated the structural importance of the one-dimensional (1D) fibrous materials in electrocatalytic water-splitting reactions. As a result, NiFe-ZIF-NFs (Nanofibers)-RT (Room Temperature) have delivered a small overpotential of 241 mV at 10 mA cm-2 current density in OER and 290 mV at a fixed current density of 50 mA cm-2 in HER at two different pH conditions with 1 M KOH and 0.5 M H2SO4, respectively. Furthermore, it exposes the actual surface area of 27.270 m2 g-1 and a high electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) of 50 μF in OER and 55 μF in HER, which is responsible for the electrochemical performance with better stability. This exceptional activity of the materials is mainly attributed to the structural dependency of the fibrous network through the polymeric architecture.

Abstract
Combining MoSe2 with other transition metal dichalcogenides to form a hybrid nanostructure is an effective route to enhance the electrocatalytic activities for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this study, MoSe2-Ni3Se4 hybrid nanoelectrocatalysts with a flower-like morphology are synthesized by a seed-induced solution approach. Instead of independently nucleating to form separate nanocrystals, the Ni3Se4 component tends to nucleate and grow on the surfaces of ultrathin nanoflakes of MoSe2 to form a hybrid nanostructure. MoSe2-Ni3Se4 hybrid nanoelectrocatalysts with different Mo:Ni ratios are prepared and their HER catalytic activities are compared. The results show that the HER activities are affected by the Mo:Ni ratios. In comparison with pure MoSe2, the MoSe2-Ni3Se4 hybrid nanoelectrocatalysts having a Mo:Ni molar ratio of 2:1 exhibit enhanced HER properties with an overpotential of 203 mV at 10 mA/cm2 and a Tafel slope of 57 mV per decade. Improved conductivity and increased turnover frequencies (TOFs) are also observed for the MoSe2-Ni3Se4 hybrid samples.

Abstract
As a popular material synthesis method, spatially confined reactions have been gradually recognised for their excellent performance in the field of current materials synthesis. In recent years, molybdenum-based catalysts have gradually gained recognition due to high natural reserves of Mo, its low cost, and many other advantages, and they have wide applications in the area of functional materials, especially in topical areas such as batteries and electrocatalysts. In this context, spatially confined reactions have become widely to obtain various types of molybdenum-based electrode materials and electrocatalysts which result in an excellent morphology, structure, and performance. In this review, the concept of a spatially confined reaction system and the electrochemical application (electrode materials and electrocatalyst) of molybdenum-based materials synthesised in this way are comprehensively discussed. The current problems and future development and application of molybdenum-based materials are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting is an important strategy for the mass production of hydrogen. Development of synthesizable catalysts has always been one of the biggest obstacles to replace platinum-group catalysts. In this work, a high quality crystal polymer covalent triazine framework [CTF; Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 1562.6 m2 g-1 ] is synthesized and MoS2 nanoparticles are grown in situ into/onto the 1 D channel arrays or the external surface for electrocatalysis [hydrogen evolution reaction (HER)] . The state-of-the-art CTFs@MoS2 structure exhibits superior catalytic kinetics with an overpotential of 93 mV and Tafel slope of 43 mV dec-1 , which is improved over most other reported analogous catalysts. The inherent π-conjugated crystal channels in CTFs provides a multifunctional support for electron transmission and mass diffusion during the hydrogen evolution process. Catalytic kinetics analysis shows that the HER performance is closely correlated to the hierarchical pore parameters and aggregated thickness of MoS2 nanoparticles. This work provides an attractive and durable alternative to synthesize high activity and stable catalysts for HER.

Abstract
Hydrogen is in limelight as an environmental benign alternative to fossil fuels from few decades. To bring the concept of hydrogen economy from academic labs to real world certain challenges need to be addressed in the areas of hydrogen production, storage, and its use in fuel cells. Crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with unprecedented surface areas are considered as potential materials for addressing the challenges in each of these three areas. MOFs combine the diverse chemistry of molecular linkers with their ability to coordinate to metal ions and clusters. The unabated flurry of research using MOFs in the context of hydrogen energy related activities in the past decade demonstrates the versatility of this class of materials. In the present review, we discuss major strategical advances that have taken place in the field of "hydrogen economy and MOFs" and point out issues requiring further attention.

Abstract
In this article, an exquisite flexible hybrid MoS2/graphene free-standing electrocatalyst paper was fabricated by a one-step in situ solvothermal process. The assembled MoS2/graphene catalysts exhibit significantly enhanced electrocatalytic activity and cycling stability towards the splitting of water in acidic solution. Furthermore, a strategic balance of abundant active sites at the edge of the S–Mo–S layers with efficient electron transfer in the MoS2/graphene hybrid catalyst plays a key role in controlling the electrochemical performance of the MoS2 nanosheets. Most importantly, the hybrid MoS2/graphene nanosheet paper shows excellent flexibility and high electrocatalytic performance under the various bending states. This work demonstrates an opportunity for the development of flexible electrocatalysts, which have potential applications in renewable energy conversion and energy storage systems. An improved flexible hybrid MoS2/graphene free-standing electrocatalyst paper was fabricated by a one-step in situ solvothermal process for hydrogen evolution reaction applications.![]()

Abstract
The development of highly active and stable earth-abundant electrocatalysts to reduce or eliminate the reliance on noble-metal based ones for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) over a broad pH range remains a great challenge. Herein, hierarchical porous Co9S8/N-doped carbon@MoS2 (Co9S8/NC@MoS2) polyhedrons have been synthesized by a facile hydrothermal approach using highly conductive Co/NC polyhedrons composed of cobalt nanoparticles embedded in N-doped carbon matrices as both the structural support and cobalt source. The Co/NC polyhedrons were prepared by direct carbonization of Co-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) in Ar atmosphere. Benefiting from the prominent synergistic effect of N-doped carbon enhancing the conductivity of the hybrid, MoS2 and Co9S8 providing abundant catalytically active sites as well as the well-defined polyhedral structure promoting mechanical stability, the as-synthesized Co9S8/NC@MoS2 shows excellent HER activity and good stability over a broad pH range, with onset overpotentials of 4, 38, and 45 mV, Tafel slopes of 60.3, 68.8, and 126.1 mV dec-1, and overpotentials of 67, 117, and 261 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH, 0.5 M H2SO4, and 1.0 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS), respectively. This work provides a general and promising approach for the design and synthesis of inexpensive and efficient pH-universal HER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The development of clean and renewable energy materials as alternatives to fossil fuels is foreseen as a potential solution to the crucial problems of environmental pollution and energy shortages. Hydrogen is an ideal energy material for the future, and water splitting using solar/electrical energy is one way to generate hydrogen. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials with unique properties that have received rapidly growing attention in recent years for applications in water splitting due to their remarkable design flexibility, ultra-large surface-to-volume ratios and tunable pore channels. This review focuses on recent progress in the application of MOFs in electrocatalytic and photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen generation, including both oxygen and hydrogen evolution. It starts with the fundamentals of electrocatalytic and photocatalytic water splitting and the related factors to determine the catalytic activity. The recent progress in the exploitation of MOFs for water splitting is then summarized, and strategies for designing MOF-based catalysts for electrocatalytic and photocatalytic water splitting are presented. Finally, major challenges in the field of water splitting are highlighted, and some perspectives of MOF-based catalysts for water splitting are proposed.

Abstract
With the socio economic development, people have paid more and more attention to energy source problems, especially to clean and renewable energy such as hydrogen. It is appealing but still challenging to find or design an appropriate catalyst which is inexpensive and efficient for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in the same electrolyte. In this work, we develop a facile synthesis of amorphous defect-rich CoMoS4via a one-step hydrothermal method, and under alkaline conditions; the CoMoS4 electrode can generate a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at the overpotentials of 143 mV for HER and 342 mV for OER in 1.0 M KOH, respectively. A cell voltage of 1.72 V is required to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 with long-term stability in an electrolyzer using the CoMoS4/CC electrode as both the anode and cathode.

Abstract
Three-dimensional oxygen-incorporated MoS2 ultrathin nanosheets decorated on reduced graphene oxide (O-MoS2/rGO) had been successfully fabricated through a facile solvent-assisted hydrothermal method. The origin of the incorporated oxygen and its incorporation mechanism into MoS2 were carefully investigated. We found that the solvent N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was the key as the reducing agent and the oxygen donor, expanding interlayer spaces and improving intrinsic conductivity of MoS2 sheets (modulating its electronic structure and vertical edge sites). These O dopants, vertically aligned edges and decoration with rGO gave effectively improved double-layer capacitance and catalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of MoS2. The prepared O-MoS2/rGO catalysts showed an exceptional small Tafel slope of 40 mV/decade, a high current density of 20 mA/cm(2) at the overpotential of 200 mV and remarkable stability even after 2000th continuous HER test in the acid media.

Abstract
Porous electrocatalyst for hydrogen production. 3D hierarchical porous molybdenum carbide provides a low operating potential (97 mV at 10 mA cm(-2) ). These beneficial textures of large specific surface area (302 m(2) g(-1) ) and hierarchical porous architecture containing dominant pore size distribution peak at 11 Å in width can provide large surface active sites and facilitate proton mass transport.

Abstract
Transitional metal sulfide/carbon hybrids with well-defined structures could not only maximize the functional properties of each constituent but engender some unique synergistic effects, holding great promise for applications in Li-ion batteries and supercapacitors and for catalysis. Herein, a facile and versatile approach is developed to controllably grow 2D ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets with a large quantity of exposed edges onto various 1D carbons, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), electrospun carbon nanofibers, and Te-nanowire-templated carbon nanofibers. The typical approach involves the employment of layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembled polyelectrolyte, which controls spatially the uniform growth and orientation of ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets on these 1D carbons irrespective of their surface properties. Such unique structures of the as-prepared CNTs@MoS2 hybrid are significantly favorable for the fast diffusions of both Li-ions and electrons, satisfying the kinetic requirements of high-power lithium ion batteries. As a result, CNTs@MoS2 hybrids exhibit excellent electrochemical performances for lithium storage, including a high reversible capacity (1027 mAh g(-1)), high-rate capability (610 mAh g(-1) at 5 C), and excellent cycling stability (negligible capacity loss after 200 continuous cycles).
