TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the contributions of crystal structure (phase), edges, and sulfur vacancies (S-vacancies) to the catalytic activity of 1T phase MoS2 nanosheets.

TL;DR: A novel hydrothermal-synthesis strategy is presented to achieve simultaneous and synergistic modulation of crystal phase and disorder in partially crystallized 1T-MoSe2 nanosheets to dramatically enhance their HER catalytic activity.

TL;DR: The synthesis of S, N dual-doped graphene-like carbon nanosheets via a simple pyrolysis of a mixture of melamine and dibenzyl sulfide as efficient metal-free electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) implies great promises in practical applications in energy devices.

TL;DR: It is determined that a higher content of N does not necessarily lead to enhanced electrocatalytic activity; rather, at a relatively low N content and a high ratio of graphitic-N/pyridinic-N, the nitrogen-doped graphene obtained by annealing at 900 °C provides the most promising activity for ORR.

TL;DR: In this article, a new type of skutterudite-type ternary cobalt nickel phosphide (Co1-xNixP3) nanoneedle arrays (NAs) is fabricated on carbon cloth for the splitting of water.
