In this study, CoPt alloy nanosheets (CoPt-R10) were in situ constructed on titanium mesh using electrodeposition and mild reduction methods. CoPt-R10 incorporates ultra-low amounts of Pt (0.42 at%) to modulate the electronic structure of Co, requiring low overpotentials of 210 and 314 mV to achieve 200 mA cm-2 for HER and OER, respectively. CoPt-R10 serves as a bifunctional catalyst for overall water splitting, demonstrating stable operation for 500 hours at 100 mA cm-2.
Modulating MoS2 quantum dots enhances the hydrophilicity of NiCo2O4, accelerates bubble detachment, promotes mass transfer, and consequently enhances catalytic activity. The optimized catalyst achieves a low overpotential of 272 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 76.3 mV dec-1 in 1.0 mol L-1 KOH.
