Developing high-performance nonprecious electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great importance, but it remains a challenge. In this paper, we synthesize a porous monolithic catalytic electrode, which is transition metal nitride, Ni3FeN, constructed on a 3D network-like support of the strutted graphene foam (Ni3FeN/SG). The obtained Ni3FeN/SG electrode shows the excellent catalytic activity and the durability for OER in alkaline solution, owing to iron incorporation, high electrical conductivity and 3D network-like structure of strutted graphene. It requires small overpotential (226 mV) to actuate 10 mA cm−2, superior to most recently developed catalysts and commercial RuO2. The fabrication strategy provides a substantial way to expand 3D porous monolithic electrodes for various electrocatalytic applications.

Composite Ni-MoO2 coatings were prepared and characterized with respect to their possible application as electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline solution. The composites were electrodeposited onto Ni meshes from an ammonium chloride Ni solution with suspended MoO2 particles in simulated industrial conditions for production of commercial cathodes. The influence of the concentration of MoO2 particles in the solution and deposition current density on the morphology, chemical and phase composition of obtained coatings was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Catalytic activity for the HER of the coatings was examined by polarization measurements in a 32 wt. % NaOH solution at 90?C and compared to the activity of the commercial De Nora?s cathode (DN). It was shown that the most active Ni-MoO2 coating exhibits better polarization characteristics for the HER than the DN cathode. The mechanism of the HER on the specified Ni-MoO2 coating was investigated in 8 mol dm-3 NaOH at 30?C by means of steady-state polarization measurements and an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method. Based on the theoretical interpretation of the experimental data, rate constants of the three individual steps of the HER were determined and the source of catalytic activity of the coating was elucidated.

Eco-friendly and rapid microwave processing of a precipitate was used to produce Fe-doped zinc oxide (Zn1−xFexO, x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.20) nanoparticles, which were tested as catalysts toward the ORR and OER in a moderately alkaline solution.

Fenton process has been widely applied for environmental restoration. However, acidic and neutral solutions are always needed in order to obtain an excellent catalytic activity. Flower-like MoS2 was firstly used as a Fenton catalyst with higher activity in alkaline solution than that in acidic and neutral ones. The catalytic mechanism indicated that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] radicals formation induced the excellent catalytic activity in alkaline solution. Effects of pH, catalyst dosage, H2O2 and RhB concentrations on catalytic activity were studied, and the quantitative relations were established. The experimental result demonstrated that the catalyst was stable in alkaline solution. The leaching Mo was smaller than 2[Formula: see text]mg/L.
