Enhanced oxygen and hydrogen evolution reaction by zinc doping in cobalt–nickel sulfide heteronanorods

Abstract Developing highly efficient electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical to enable electrical‐to‐hydrogen energy conversion technologies to reality. Herein, zinc‐doped cobalt sulfide‐modified nickel sulfide (ZCNS) heteronanor...
