Electrosynthesis of Bifunctional WS3-x/Reduced Graphene Oxide Hybrid for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction and Oxygen Reduction Reaction Electrocatalysis

A multitude of research into the application of transition-metal dichalcogenides as earth-abundant hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts has been conducted. However, current synthetic methods generally deploy environmentally harmful chemicals and energy-consuming reaction conditions, despite the primary intent to attain renewable energy production. Here, the desirable properties of tungsten sulfide and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) have …

Hydrogenated Graphenes by Birch Reduction: Influence of Electron and Proton Sources on Hydrogenation Efficiency, Magnetism, and Electrochemistry

Interest in chemical functionalisation of graphenes today is largely driven by associated changes to its physical and material properties. Functionalisation with hydrogen was employed to obtain hydrogenated graphenes (also termed graphane if fully hydrogenated), which exhibited properties including fluorescence, magnetism and a tuneable band gap. Although the classical Birch reduction has been employed for hydrogenation …

Electrochemical Fluorographane: Hybrid Electrocatalysis of Biomarkers, Hydrogen Evolution, and Oxygen Reduction

Fluorographane (C1HxF1-x+)(n) is a new member of the graphene family that exhibits hydrophobicity and a large band gap that is tunable based on the level of fluorination. Herein, sensing and energy applications of fluorographane are reported. The results reveal that the carbon-to-fluoride ratio of fluorographane has a great impact on the electrochemical performance of the …
