Synthesis and Electrocatalytic Applications of Noble Metal Chalcogenides Nanomaterials

In this review, we first focus on summarizing recent advances in effective and facile strategies for the ration synthesis of noble metal chalcogenide nanomaterials (NMCNs), and then, we systematically introduce their applications in catalyzing typical electrochemical reactions. Finally, we make some perspectives on the challenges for using NMCNs in electrocatalysis with respect to further enhancement of their electrocatalytic performance. Noble metal chalcogenide nanomaterials (NMCNs) usually exhibit improved performance in the field of electrocatalysis due to their unique physical and chemical properties. In this review, recent advances on preparation and electrocatalytic applications of NMCNs are reviewed. It is expected that this review will stimulate more research interest in the development of NMCNs as advanced electrocatalysts.
