Abstract

We herein present a series of hitherto unprecedented seleno-pentlandites (Fe_4.5Ni_4.5S_8−YSe_Y). By analysing the influence of S/Se exchange on the catalyst structure and activity in the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction we herein showcase the potential and limitations of homologous S/Se exchanges within pentlandite HER catalysts.
