Modulating electronic and geometric structure of transition metal compounds for efficient water splitting by Tang, Shasha

“…In addition to systematic electrochemical characterization, DFT calculation is applied to determine the Gibbs free energy (ΔG) of the intermediates. It is found that the sulfur element reduces the ΔG of the intermediates and results in lower theoretic overpotential, leading to better HER and OER electrocatalytic performance of the sulfides as compared to the oxides. …”
