Boron-modulated surface of hollow nickel framework for improved hydrogen evolution

Abstract

A hollow Ni framework (HNF) is designed and prepared to utilize the exterior and interior surface active sites of a Ni-based binder-free and support-free electrode. Furthermore, the more efficient Ni–B active sites are then in situ introduced on the surface of HNF. This micro/nano structure engineering, together with the surface boron modulation, results in a synergistically enhanced catalytic effect for the HER performance.
