NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH)-based materials arouse great attention because of their outstanding catalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under alkaline conditions. However, its catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under alkaline conditions is relatively poor. Herein, to improve the HER catalytic activity of NiFe LDH under alkaline conditions, we design a heterostructure of NiS and NiS 2 on NiFe LDH and successfully achieve Mo element doping . The catalyst named NiFe-LDH@Mo–NiS–NiS 2 /NF possesses a three-dimensional nano-flower-like structure and shows an outstanding catalytic performance for both HER and OER. Specifically, in 1 M KOH solution, it requires the low overpotentials of 261 and 120 mV to achieve the current density of 50 and 10 mA cm −2 for OER and HER, respectively. Simultaneously, when NiFe-LDH@Mo–NiS 2 –NiS/NF is used as the bifunctional catalysts, it only needs a low voltage of 1.63 V to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm −2 . The outstanding catalytic performance is attributed to its special heterostructure and the synergy between Mo and NiS x , resulting in comparability with most reported non-noble metal-based catalysts. The doping of metal elements and the construction of heterostructures provide new ideas for the structure regulation and performance improvement of bifunctional electrocatalysts .

Conventional nanomaterials are available in electrochemical glucose nonenzymatic sensing, but their broad applications are limited due to their high cost and complicated preparation procedures. In this study, NiS–NiS2/sludge-based biochar/GCE was fabricated by one-step potentiostatic electrodeposition on biochar and used as an interface material for non-enzymatic sensing of glucose in 0.1 M NaOH. With an electrodeposition time of 300 s, the as-prepared sensors delivered the best electrochemical performance toward glucose due to the synergistic effects of NiS–NiS2 and sludge-based biochar. The as prepared NiS–NiS2/sludge-based biochar surface morphology, surface composition, and electrochemical properties were characterized by SEM elemental mapping, XPS and cyclic voltammetry. Under optimized conditions, the linearity between the current response and the glucose concentration has been obtained in the range of 5–1500 μM with a detection limit of 1.5 μM. More importantly, the fabricated sensor was successfully utilized to measure glucose in serum of sweetened beverages and human blood. Accordingly, NiS–NiS2/sludge-based biochar/GCE can hopefully be applied as a normal enzyme-free glucose sensor with excellent properties of sensitivity, reproducibility, stability, as well as sustainability.

Exploring low-cost and high-activity transition metal-based electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical toward mass hydrogen generation by water splitting. Herein, a cheap Fe element doped flower-like nickel sulfides catalyst (Fe-NiS/NiS 2 ) is designed and synthesized through facile electrostatic adsorption and sulfuration methods. It is investigated that the Fe doping effectively induces the lattice contraction of nickel sulfides and regulates the phase composition and heterogeneous interfaces, thus enabling high intrinsic OER activity. The Fe-NiS/NiS 2 catalyst shows a high electrochemically active surface area of 150 cm 2 , a small overpotential of 361 mV at 100 mA cm −2 and a low Tafel slope of 61.5 mV dec -1 . Furthermore, the Fe-NiS/NiS 2 exhibits a very excellent structure and performance stability without current attenuation for 24 h at 1.50 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. This work provides an important insight for the exploitation of low-cost and high-performance OER catalysts with cheap Fe element doping metal sulfides.

Transition metal sulfides, recognized for their platinum-like activity, were prominent in electrolytic water hydrogen production research. In this context, we reported a NiS/NiS 2 heterostructure composite active center electrocatalyst optimized by Cr doping (Cr-NiS/NiS 2 @NF) based on the dual regulation of defect engineering and interface engineering. The electronic structure of Ni and S could be adjusted by Cr doping, and the creation of defects exposed more active sites. Meanwhile, the resulting NiS/NiS 2 heterogeneous interface acted as a composite activity center, enhancing the alkaline HER process rate. The Cr-NiS/NiS 2 @NF achieved 100 mA cm −2 at an overpotential of 172.8 mV. Density functional theory analysis confirms the significant decrease in the water dissociation potential barrier, attributable to the electron redistribution caused by Cr doping. The optimized heterointerface functioned as a composite activity center. Here, the Cr-NiS component effectively facilitated water dissociation, while the NiS 2 component primarily enhanced H 2 generation and desorption. The introduction of Cr significantly improved the electronic coupling at the bi-phase interfaces, thereby accelerating the transport of hydrogen intermediates. This study revealed the modulation of electron distribution at the Cr-doped nickel sulfide heterointerface, offering deep atomic-scale insights. These findings provide novel perspectives for the field of hydrogen production via water electrolysis.
