Abstract

Simultaneously synthesizing and structuring atomically thick or ultrathin 2D non-precious metal nanocrystal may offer a new class of materials to replace the state-of-art noble-metal electrocatalysts; however, the synthetic strategy is the bottleneck which should be urgently solved. Here we report the synthesis of an ultrathin nickel nanosheet array (Ni-NSA) through in situ topotactic reduction from Ni(OH)2 array precursors. The Ni nanosheets showed a single-crystalline lamellar structure with only ten atomic layers in thickness and an exposed (111) facet. Combined with a superaerophobic (low bubble adhesive) arrayed structure the Ni-NSAs exhibited a dramatic enhancement on both activity and stability towards the hydrazine-oxidation reaction (HzOR) relative to platinum. Furthermore, the partial oxidization of Ni-NSAs in ambient atmosphere resulted in effective water-splitting electrocatalysts for the hydrogen-evolution reaction (HER).

  • 2D CoP nanosheets are more feasible for enhancing HER catalytic activity because 2D nanostructures expose catalytically active sites that promote interfacial charge transfer.

    “Among them, 2D CoP nanosheets are more feasible to enhance HER catalytic activity, since the 2D nanostructures enable to expose catalytically active sites which promote interfacial charge transfer.”

    From Sub‐1.5 nm Ultrathin CoP Nanosheet Aerogel: Efficient Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction at All pH Values (2018) · cites this paper as [23]

    The indexed copy (section labeled Abstract; page unavailable) links ultrathin 2D nickel nanosheets to abundant active sites and lower charge-transfer resistance, and reports improved HER performance for partially oxidized Ni/NiO nanosheets. It does not study CoP nanosheets or establish that their exposed sites promote interfacial charge transfer during HER. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
