3D-Printed Nanocarbon Polymer Conductive Structures for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) significantly affects the performance and reliability of electronic devices. Although current metallic shielding materials are effective, they have drawbacks such as high density, limited flexibility, and poor corrosion resistance that limit their wider application in modern electronics. This study investigates the EMI shielding properties of 3D-printed conductive structures made from polylactic acid …

3D-printed Ag/AgCl pseudo-reference electrodes

Three-dimensional (3D) printing offers the advantages of customisation, reproducibility and rapid production. In parallel, there is a demand for electrochemical components designed for miniaturisation or customisation of devices. Herein we report a straightforward, fast and simple method to prepare an Ag/AgCl pseudo-reference electrode primarily based on 3D printing using a graphene/polylactic acid filament. The fabrication …

Tunable Pt-MoSx Hybrid Catalysts for Hydrogen Evolution

Platinum (Pt)-based materials are inevitably among the best-performing electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). MoS2 was suggested to be a potent HER catalyst to replace Pt in this reaction by theoretical modeling; however, in practice, this dream remains elusive. Here we show a facile one-pot bottom-up synthesis of Pt-MoSx composites using electrochemical reduction in an …

Inverse Opal-like Porous MoSeX Films for Hydrogen Evolution Catalysis: Overpotential-Pore Size Dependence

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are prized as electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Common TMD syntheses entail conditions of high temperatures and reagents that are detrimental to the environment. The electrochemical synthesis of TMDs is advocated as a viable alternative to the conventional synthetic procedures in terms of simplicity, ecological sustainability, and versatility of deposition …

Composition-Graded MoWSx Hybrids with Tailored Catalytic Activity by Bipolar Electrochemistry

Among transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-based composites, TMD/graphene-related material and bichalcogen TMD composites have been widely studied for application toward energy production via the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, scarcely any literature explored the possibility of bimetallic TMD hybrids as HER electrocatalysts. The use of harmful chemicals and harsh preparation conditions in conventional syntheses also detracts …

Bottom-up Electrosynthesis of Highly Active Tungsten Sulfide (WS3-x) Films for Hydrogen Evolution

Transition metal dichalcogenides have been I extensively studied as promising earth-abundant electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, despite the intention to achieve sustainable energy generation, conventional syntheses typically use environmentally damaging reagents and energy-demanding preparation conditions. Hence, we present electrochemical synthesis as a green and versatile alternative to traditional methods. In this fundamental study, …
