Interface-Driven Catalytic Enhancements in Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Immobilized CoNi₂S₄@ReS₂/CC Heterostructures for Optimized Hydrogen and Oxygen Evolution in Alkaline Seawater-Splitting.

ABSTRACT: The rational design of multicomponent heterostructure is an effective strategy to enhance the catalytic activity of electrocatalysts for water and seawater electrolysis in alkaline conditions. Herein, MOF-derived nitrogen-doped carbon/nickel-cobalt sulfides coupled vertically aligned Rhenium disulfide (ReS₂) on carbon cloth (NC-CoNi₂S₄@ReS₂/CC) are constructed via hydrothermal and activation approaches. Experimental and theoretical analysis demonstrates that the strong interactions between multiple interfaces promote electron redistribution and facilitate water dissociation, thereby optimizing *H adsorption energy for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Meanwhile, the adsorption energies of oxygenated intermediates are balanced to reduce the t
