Cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon as a bifunctional catalyst for water electrolysis
Abstract
The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are important electrocatalytic processes in water electrolyzers. Identifying efficient non-precious metal catalysts for HER and OER remains a great challenge for applications in different kinds of electrolyzers. Herein, we report that cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon (Co@N–C) show high activity and durability for HER in a wide pH range and for OER in alkaline medium as a bifunctional catalyst. The HER and OER activities of Co@N–C are higher than those of multiwall carbon nanotube and iron nanoparticles encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon with a similar content of nitrogen. Electrolyzer prototypes using Nafion NRE-212 as electrolyte membrane and Co@N–C as cathode or anode catalyst are constructed, showing potential practical applications in water splitting.

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.
