Correction: Ni, Co hydroxide triggers electrocatalytic production of high-purity benzoic acid over 400 mA cm−2

Electrocatalytic H2 production from seawater over Co, N-codoped nanocarbons.

One of the main barriers blocking sustainable hydrogen production is the use of expensive platinum-based catalysts to produce hydrogen from water. Herein we report the cost-effective synthesis of catalytically active, nitrogen-doped, cobalt-encased carbon nanotubes using inexpensive starting materials-urea and cobalt chloride hexahydrate (CoCl2·6H2O). Moreover, we show that the as-obtained nano...

CO x Free Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Decomposition of Methane Over Porous Ni/Al2O3 Catalysts

IR Spectroscopic Study of M ( Benzoic Acid ) 2 Ni ( CN ) 4 · ( 1 , 4 - Dioxane ) Clathrate ( M = Ni , Cd and Co )

In various studies, Hofmann-type clathrates, given by the general formula ML2Ni(CN)4·G, were produced. Here M is a transition metal atom, L a ligand molecule or half of a bidentate ligand molecule, and G a guest molecule [1]. The clathrates are of interest because of their inclusion behavior and use as catalysts, anti-oxidants and stabilizing agents [2]. Infrared spectroscopy is one of the best...

Organometallic Ni pincer complexes for the electrocatalytic production of hydrogen.

Nonplatinum metals are needed to perform cost-effective water reduction electrocatalysis to enable technological implementation of a proposed hydrogen economy. We describe electrocatalytic proton reduction and H(2) production by two organometallic nickel complexes with tridentate pincer ligands. The kinetics of H(2) production from voltammetry is consistent with an overall third order rate law:...

Controllably Alloyed, Low Density, Free-standing Ni-Co and Ni-Graphene Sponges for Electrocatalytic Water Splitting

Synthesis of low cost, durable and efficient electrocatalysts that support oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are the bottlenecks in water electrolysis. Here we propose a strategy for the development of controllably alloyed, porous, and low density nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) based alloys - whose electrocatalytic properties can be tuned to make them multifunct...
