Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and scientists to showcase cutting-edge advancements in the field of electrocatalysis. We aim to focus on the development and characterization of novel materials that play a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency of electrocatalytic processes, with applications spanning from energy conversion and storage to environmental remediation. We invite papers that delve into the synthesis methodologies, fundamental understanding, and practical applications of these materials, shedding light on their potential to revolutionize clean energy technologies and address global sustainability challenges. Through this Special Issue, we aspire to foster a deeper understanding of high-efficiency electrocatalytic materials and accelerate their integration into real-world solutions.

Noble metal-free electrocatalysts have received widespread attention in a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to the importance of renewable energy development. Herein, a Co2P/CoP heterojunction embedded on an N-doped carbon (Co2P/CoP/NC) electrocatalyst was prepared via an in situ pyrolysis method. The as-prepared electrocatalyst exhibited efficient electrocatalytic activity for HER in an acidic solution. The Co2P/CoP/NC catalyst displayed an overpotential of 184 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and a low Tafel slope of 82 mV dec−1, which could be attributed to the tight Co2P/CoP heterojunction and the synergetic effect of Co2P/CoP and N-doped carbon. In addition, the electrochemical active surface area of Co2P/CoP/NC was 75.2 m2 g−1, which indicated that more active regions can be applied for the HER process. This report may pave a new way for the design of efficient and low-cost N-doped-carbon-supported 3d transition metal phosphide electrocatalysts. Full article
