Abstract

A hierarchical CoNi-sulfide nanosheet array is fabricated via an in situ reduction of CoNi-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets, then a vulcanization process. The material inherits the morphology of the LDH precursor, consisting of well-distributed CoNi-alloy@CoNi-sulfide nanoparticles with a core-shell structure, and demonstrates promising performance toward hydrazine electrooxidation.

Keywords: core-shell nanoarrays; hydrazine electrooxidation; layered double hydroxides; transition metal sulfides.
