Microwave-assisted synthesis of graphene-like cobalt sulfide freestanding sheets as an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting
Total water splitting provides an appealing pathway for clean and sustainable energy conversion and storage. Therefore, development of a noble metal-free, efficient and robust electrocatalyst simultaneously towards the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is stil...

Zusammenfassung: | Total water splitting provides an appealing pathway for clean and sustainable energy conversion and storage. Therefore, development of a noble metal-free, efficient and robust electrocatalyst simultaneously towards the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is still a great challenge. Herein, an ultrafast and scalable method was introduced to synthesize CoS
