Summary: Non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts have attracted extensive interest for their low cost, abundance, and high catalytic performance. In this study, an ultrafast thermal method was used to synthesize non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts for water splitting. Nickel oxide and molybdenum carbide on activated carbon felt (Ni-Mo@ACF) exhibited remarkable catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), while NiFe alloy nanosheets on activated carbon felt (NiFe@ACF) showed excellent catalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Assembling Ni-Mo@ACF as the cathode and NiFe@ACF as the anode resulted in an overall water splitter with a low cell voltage of 1.60V and excellent durability for 36 hours.

Summary: Water electrolysis is a sustainable method for hydrogen production using clean energy sources, but the slow kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) result in low efficiency of electrolysis devices. Current electrocatalysts, which use noble metals like platinum for catalyzing HER and OER, face limitations due to their abundance and high cost. Therefore, the focus has shifted towards developing high-performance and cost-effective non-noble metal electrocatalysts as an alternative.

Summary: This article discusses the superiority of the cascade oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and conducts theoretical analysis and experiments to illustrate it. By finely controlling the nucleation sequence of iron and nickel sulfides, a FeS2@NiS2 core-shell structure is obtained, where the activated outward diffusion of Fe dopants leads to gradient Fe/Ni ratios in the FexNi1-xOOH shell, enabling cascade OER. Electrochemical tests show that the FeS2@NiS2 only requires an overpotential of 237 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm(-2), demonstrating fast reaction kinetics and good stability.

Summary: In this study, a high-efficiency carbon aerogel (SCA) derived from sericin waste was used to improve the adsorption efficiency of oils and organic solvents. The SCA exhibited excellent sorption capacity for soybean oil, chloroform, and methylene chloride. It could also be regenerated multiple times without significant loss in adsorbability. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-EmmettTeller (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirmed the physical and chemical characteristics of SCA. The results suggest that SCA is an effective adsorbent for oils and organic solvents, contributing to the reduction of sericin-containing wastewater discharge and alleviating pollution caused by oil and organic solvent leakage.
