Metal–Organic-Framework-Derived Cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated in Nitrogen-Doped carbon nanotubes on Ni foam integrated Electrode: Highly electroactive and durable catalysts for overall water splitting

The rational design and use of highly efficient, economic, and environmentally friendly bifunctional catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is important for developing methods for overall water splitting. Here, we report a facile self-catalyzed growth strategy for in situ encapsulation of Co nanoparticles with N-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) on Ni foam (NF) (Co/NCNTs-NF-T; T represents the...
