ABSTRACT
The rod-like HP/CoP2 composite synthesized by chemical vapor deposition and subsequent template etching process has demonstrated to be an effective visible light (λ > 420 nm) driven photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) from pure water splitting. The optimal HP/CoP2 composite with CoP2 as cocatalyst exhibited an excellent HER rate of 13.1 μmol h−1, significantly outperforming HP with Pt as cocatalyst (3.3 μmol h−1) under the same experimental conditions. -

ABSTRACT
Cu atoms present in the CuWO4 photoanode act as inherent sites for bulk phase charge recombination due to their unfilled 3d atomic orbitals. We report a methodology involving the judicious doping of an appropriate quantity of Cs atoms to replace some Cu atoms, which aims to enhance the bulk charge transport capability of the CuWO4 photoanode. Consequently, we observe that when the doping amount of Cs reaches 1%, the CuWO4 photoanode exhibits the most significant improvement in performance.

ABSTRACT
Novel Fe–Ni–F electrocatalysts are fabricated by a facile one-step annealing method. The elevated OER properties are mainly attributed to (1) the Ni–Fe bimetallic synergistic effect; (2) the high electronegativity of fluorine which can promote the formation of (oxy)hydroxides.
