Synthesis of Uranium Single Atom from Radioactive Wastewater for Enhanced Water Dissociation and Hydrogen Evolution (Small 11/2022)

Hydrogen Evolution In article number 2107444, Yan Liu, Rong He, Wenkun Zhu, and co-workers construct a pulse voltammetry method to directly prepare uranium (U) single atoms on the edge sites of MoS2 nanosheets (U/MoS2) from radioactive wastewater. The 5.2% U/MoS2 nanosheet displayed a low overpotential of 72 mV at 10 mA cm−2 in 1 M KOH solution. Furthermore, the boosted hydrogen evolution reaction is attributed to the optimized water dissociation path and H* adsorption on the U/MoS2 nanosheets.
