[PMID: 36473354 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2022.11.126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Constructing transitionmetalsulfides (TMSs) heterostructure is an effective strategy to optimize the catalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline medium. Herein, the rhombohedral nickel sulfide/hexagonal nickel sulfide (r-NiS/h-NiS) catalysts with the NiS phase-heterostructure were successfully fabricated by a simple one pot method. The r-NiS/h-NiS (1.25) (1.25 means the theoretical mole ratio of S and Ni added to reaction) displayed the excellent HER performance with low overpotential (101 ± 1 mV@10 mA cm-2) and small Tafel slope (62.10 ± 0.1 mV dec-1), which were superior to the pure phase r-NiS and h-NiS. In this work, the improved HER catalytic performances were attributed to the dense coupling interfaces between the r-NiS and h-NiS. This work shows the feasibility of construction NiS phase-heterostructure and provides a novel strategy for the application of NiS for water splitting.

Abstract
Nickel chalcogenide (S and Se) based nanostructures intrigued scientists for some time as materials for energy conversion and storage systems. Interest in these materials is due to their good electrochemical stability, eco-friendly nature, and low cost. The present review compiles recent progress in the area of nickel-(S and Se)-based materials by providing a comprehensive summary of their structural and chemical features and performance. Improving properties of the materials, such as electrical conductivity and surface characteristics (surface area and morphology), through strategies like nano-structuring and hybridization, are systematically discussed. The interaction of the materials with electrolytes, other electro-active materials, and inactive components are analyzed to understand their effects on the performance of energy conversion and storage devices. Finally, outstanding challenges and possible solutions are briefly presented with some perspectives toward the future development of these materials for energy-oriented devices with high performance.

Abstract
In this work, a facile strategy for the construction of single crystalline Ni3 S2 nanowires coated with N-doped carbon shell (NC) forming Ni3 S2 @NC core/shell arrays by one-step chemical vapor deposition process is reported. In addition to the good electronic conductivity from the NC shell, the nanowire structure also ensures the accommodation of large volume expansion during cycling, leading to pre-eminent high-rate capacities (470 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 and 385 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 ) and outstanding cycling stability with a capacity retention of 91% after 100 cycles at 1 A g-1 . Furthermore, ex situ transmission electron microscopy combined with X-ray diffraction and Raman spectra are used to investigate the reaction mechanism of Ni3 S2 @NC during the charge/discharge process. The product after delithiation consists of Ni3 S2 and sulfur, suggesting that the capacity of the electrode comes from the conversion reaction of both Ni3 S2 and sulfur with Li2 S.

Abstract
Nanostructured nickel cobalt sulfide (NiCo2S4) electrodes are successfully fabricated using a simple alternate-dip-coating method. The process involves dipping a TiO2 nanoparticles-covered substrate in a nickel/cobalt precursor solution and sulfur precursor solution alternately at room temperature. The fabricated bimetallic sulfide electrode exhibits a synergetic improvement compensating for the disadvantages of the two single metal sulfide electrodes, i.e. the poor cycle stability of the nickel sulfide electrode and the low specific capacitance (Csp) of the cobalt sulfide electrode. The two capacitive properties are optimized by adjusting the ratio of nickel and cobalt concentrations in the metal precursor solution, reaching a Csp of 516 F g-1 at a current density of 1 mA cm-2, with its retention being 99.9% even after 2000 galvanostatic charge-discharge cycles.

Capacitive performance of vertically aligned reduced titania nanotubes coated with Mn 2O 3 by reverse pulse electrodeposition. RSC Adv 2018; 8:23040-23047. [PMID: 35540159 PMCID: PMC9081607 DOI: 10.1039/c8ra03513j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2018] [Accepted: 06/05/2018] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, a composite material, manganese oxide/reduced titania nanotubes (Mn2O3/R-TNTs), was synthesized through incorporation of Mn2O3 onto R-TNTs via the reverse pulse electrodeposition technique. The influence of pulse reverse duty cycles on the morphological, structural and electrochemical performance of the surface was studied by varying the applied duty cycle from 10% to 90% for 5 min total on-time at an alternate potential of -0.90 V (E on) and 0.00 V (E off). FESEM analysis revealed the uniform deposition of Mn2O3 on the circumference of the nanotubes. The amount of Mn2O3 loaded onto the R-TNTs increased as a higher duty cycle was applied. Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge tests were employed to elucidate the electrochemical properties of all the synthesized samples in 1 M KCl. The specific capacitance per unit area was greatly enhanced upon the incorporation of Mn2O3 onto R-TNTs, but showed a decrease as a high duty cycle was applied. This proved that low amounts of Mn2O3 loading enhanced the facilitation of the active ions for charge storage purposes. The optimized sample, Mn2O3/R-TNTs synthesized at 10% duty cycle, exhibited high specific capacitance of 18.32 mF cm-2 at a current density of 0.1 mA cm-2 obtained from constant current charge-discharge measurements. This revealed that the specific capacitance possessed by Mn2O3/R-TNTs synthesized at 10% duty cycle was 6 times higher than bare R-TNTs.
