[PMID: 39997875 PMCID: PMC11858009 DOI: 10.3390/nano15040312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2025] [Revised: 02/06/2025] [Accepted: 02/14/2025] [Indexed: 02/26/2025]
Abstract
In the field of non-silicon MEMSs (micro-electro-mechanical systems), nickel, with its mature preparation method, good compatibility with non-silicon MEMS processes, and excellent mechanical properties, is one of the commonly used structural materials. By effectively combining it with non-silicon MEMS processes, nickel is widely used in typical process systems such as LIGA (Lithography, Galvanoformung, Abformung)/UV-LIGA (Ultraviolet Lithography, Galvanoformung, Abformung). However, with the rapid development of the non-silicon MEMS field, pure nickel materials are no longer able to meet current material demands. Alternatively, nickel-cobalt composite materials have excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability, corrosion resistance, and good adaptability to processing technology because cobalt has unique advantages as a reinforcing phase, including excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high hardness. This article examines the current methods for preparing nickel-cobalt alloys by focusing on composite electrodeposition of coatings and analyzing their advantages and disadvantages. Based on this, the effect of the composite electrodeposition conditions on the formation mechanism of nickel-cobalt alloy coatings is discussed. Then, the research status of composite electrodeposition methods mainly based on nickel-cobalt nanocomposites is discussed. Finally, a new direction for future work on nickel-cobalt composite materials mainly composed of nickel-cobalt nanomaterials prepared by composite electrodeposition is proposed, and its application prospects in non-silicon MEMS fields are discussed.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting is a promising technology for hydrogen production and sustainable energy conversion, but the existing electrolytic cells lack a sufficient number of robust and highly active anodic electrodes for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Electrochemical synthesis technology provides a feasible route for the preparation of independent OER electrodes with high utilization of active sites, fast mass transfer, and a simple preparation process. A comprehensive review of the electrochemical synthesis of nano/microstructure transition metal-based OER materials is provided. First, some fundamentals of electrochemical synthesis are introduced, including electrochemical synthesis strategies, electrochemical synthesis substrates, the electrolyte used in electrochemical synthesis, and the combination of electrochemical synthesis and other synthesis methods. Second, the morphology and properties of electrochemical synthetic materials are summarized and introduced from the viewpoint of structural design. Then, the latest progress regarding the development of transition metal-based OER electrocatalysts is reviewed, including the classification of metals/alloys, oxides, hydroxides, sulfides, phosphides, selenides, and other transition metal compounds. In addition, the oxygen evolution mechanism and rate-determining steps of transition metal-based catalysts are also discussed. Finally, the advantages, challenges, and opportunities regarding the application of electrochemical techniques in the synthesis of transition metal-based OER electrocatalysts are summarized. This review can provide inspiration for researchers and promote the development of water splitting technology.

Cu xO-Modified Nanoporous Cu Foil as a Self-Supporting Electrode for Supercapacitor and Oxygen Evolution Reaction. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12122121. [PMID: 35745461 PMCID: PMC9227449 DOI: 10.3390/nano12122121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2022] [Revised: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022]
Abstract
Designing and modifying nanoporous metal foils to make them suitable for supercapacitor and catalysis is significant but challenging. In this work, CuxO nanoflakes have been successfully in situ grown on nanoporous Cu foil via a facile electrooxidation method. A Ga-assisted surface Ga-Cu alloying–dealloying is adopted to realize the formation of a nanoporous Cu layer on the flexible Cu foil. The following electrooxidation, at a constant potential, modifies the nanoporous Cu layer with CuxO nanoflakes. The optimum CuxO/Cu electrode (O-Cu-2h) delivers the maximum areal capacitance of 0.745 F cm−2 (410.27 F g−1) at 0.2 mA cm−2 and maintains 94.71% of the capacitance after 12,000 cycles. The supercapacitor consisted of the O-Cu-2h as the positive electrode and activated carbon as the negative electrode has an energy density of 24.20 Wh kg−1 and power density of 0.65 kW kg−1. The potential of using the electrode as oxygen evolution reaction catalysts is also investigated. The overpotential of O-Cu-2h at 10 mA cm−2 is 394 mV; however, the long-term stability still needs further improvement.

Abstract
Electrocatalysts used for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions are critical materials in many renewable-energy devices, such as rechargeable metal-air batteries, regenerative fuel cells, and water-splitting systems. Compared with conventional electrodes made from catalyst powders, oxygen electrodes with a freestanding architecture are highly desirable because of their binder-free fabrication and effective elimination of catalyst agglomeration. Among all freestanding electrode structures that have been investigated so far, fibrous materials exhibit many unique advantages, such as a wide range of available fibers, low material and material-processing costs, large specific surface area, highly porous structure, and simplicity of fiber functionalization. Recent advances in the use of fibrous structures for freestanding electrocatalytic oxygen electrodes are summarized, including electrospun nanofibers, bacterial cellulose, cellulose fibrous structures, carbon clothes/papers, metal nanowires, and metal meshes. After detailed discussion of common techniques for oxygen electrode evaluation, freestanding electrode fabrication, and their electrocatalytic performance, current challenges and future prospects are also presented for future development.

In this Review, the latest advances in 2D metal (hydr)oxide nanosheets are first reviewed, including the applications in electrocatalysis for the hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, and oxygen evolution reaction. Then, the electronic structure-property relationships of 2D metal (hydr)oxide nanosheets are discussed to draw a picture of enhancing the electrocatalysis performances through a series of electronic structure tuning strategies. Finally, perspectives on the current challenges and the trends for the future design of 2D metal (hydr)oxide electrocatalysts with prominent catalytic activity are outlined. It is expected that this Review can shed some light on the design of next generation electrocatalysts.

Abstract
As the cornerstone of the hydrogen economy, water electrolysis consisting of the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER) greatly needs cost-efficient electrocatalysts that can decrease the dynamic overpotential and save on energy consumption. Over past years, observable progress has been made by constructing core-shell structures free from or with few noble-metals. They afford particular merits, e.g., a highly-exposed active surface, modulated electronic configurations, strain effects, interfacial synergy, or reinforced stability, to promote the kinetics and electrocatalytic performance of the HER, OER and overall water splitting. So far, a large variety of inorganics (carbon and transition-metal related components) have been introduced into core-shell electrocatalysts. Herein, representative efforts and progress are summarized with a clear classification of core and shell components, to access comprehensive insights into electrochemical processes that proceed on surfaces or interfaces. Finally, a perspective on the future development of core-shell electrocatalysts is offered. The overall aim is to shed some light on the exploration of emerging materials for energy conversion and storage.

Abstract
Developing facile methods to construct hierarchical-structured transition metal phosphides is beneficial for achieving high-efficiency hydrogen evolution catalysts. Herein, a self-template strategy of hydrothermal treatment of solid Ni-Co glycerate nanospheres followed by phosphorization is delivered to synthesize hierarchical NiCoP hollow nanoflowers with ultrathin nanosheet assembly. The microstructure of NiCoP can be availably tailored by adjusting the hydrothermal treatment temperature through affecting the hydrolysis process of Ni-Co glycerate nanospheres and the occurred Kirkendall effect. Benefitting from the promoted exposure of active sites and affluent mass diffusion routes, the HER performance of the NiCoP hollow nanoflowers has been obviously enhanced in contrast with the solid NiCoP nanospheres. The fabricated NiCoP hollow nanoflowers yield the current density of 10 mA cm-2 at small overpotentials of 95 and 127 mV in 0.5 mol L-1 H2SO4 and 1.0 mol L-1 KOH solution, respectively. Moreover, the two-electrode alkaline cell assembled with the NiCoP and Ir/C catalysts exhibits sustainable stability for overall water splitting. The work provides a simple but efficient method to regulate the microstructure of transition metal phosphides, which is helpful for achieving high-performance hydrogen evolution catalysts based on solid-state metal alkoxides.

Abstract
Hierarchical micro/nanostructures manifest attractive prospects for photocatalytic application. Nevertheless, large-scale hierarchical micro/nanostructures for industrial application with facile, low-cost and eco-friendly routes remain difficult. Herein, nanowire-assembled hierarchical CuO microspheres (HCMAW) are synthesized for the first time by CO32- ions induced synthesis route. The time-dependent SEM images reveal that the growth mechanism for HCMAW is the well-known Ostwald ripening with self-assembly. The specific surface area of the HCMAW is 7.265 m2 g-1, which is higher than that of hierarchical CuO microspheres assembled with nanosheets (HCMAS) (4.952 m2 g-1) prepared by direct self-assembly scheme without the introduction of CO32- ions. Meanwhile, the HCMAW possess strong light absorption around a broadband wavelength from 300 nm to 800 nm. As a result, the photodegradation activity test demonstrates that the HCMAW shows the degradation efficiency of 98.8% for rhodamine B (RhB) under white light irradiation for 30 min in the presence of H2O2 higher than those of HCMAS (66.3%) and commercial CuO (48.3%) under the same condition, which is one of the highest reported till date related to CuO nanomaterials for the degradation of RhB. The novel HCMAW synthesized by the ion-induced protocol is worth being generalized to more assembled hierarchical micro/nanostructures for versatile applications.
