Abstract

Front cover image: The traditional reliance on expensive noble metal-based electrocatalysts for water splitting reactions, such as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), has stimulated researchers to innovate and develop novel electrocatalytic systems that are both cost-effective and efficient. In the article number cey2459, Zhou and co-workers reported a new multicomponent nanocomposite MW/HK/NiMn-S, features a unique architecture, high porosity, numerous electroactive Cu/Ni/Mn sites, fast charge transfer, excellent structural stability, and conductivity. It is significantly superior to standard noble metal-based Pt/C and IrO2 systems. The enhanced electrocatalytic performance of the nanocomposite can be attributed to the synergistic interplay among its diverse components. The distinctive characteristics exhibited by each element within this multi-component composite offer intriguing possibilities for exploration in the field of water splitting.
