Therefore, the reduction of Pt amount while preserving the electrocatalytic efficiency represents a viable alternative. In this work, we prepared new PtRu2 nanoparticles supported on sulphur and nitrogen co-doped crumbled graphene with trace amounts of iron (PtRu2/PF) electrocatalysts. The PtRu2/PF catalysts exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic performance and stability for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at pH = 0. Moreover, the prepared PtRu2/PF electrocatalyst displayed higher HER activity than commercial 20% Pt/C. The PtRu2/PF catalyst achieved a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) at an overpotential value of only 22 mV for HER, performing better activity than many other Pt-based electrocatalysts. Besides, the PtRu2/PF revealed a good performance for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media. The PtRu2/PF catalyst recorded a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) at an overpotential of only 270 mV for OER in KOH (1.0 M) solution and an onset potential of 0.96 V vs. RHE (at 1 mA cm(-2)) for ORR in KOH (0.1 M) solution.

	There is an imperative need for highly efficient electrocatalysts for cost-effective hydrogen production. Herein, a self-supported, hybrid composite as a bifunctional electrocatalyst is introduced. This is achieved by in situ growth of MoS2-Ni3S2 on nickel foam (NF), designated as MoS2-Ni3S2/NF, synthesized by a facile one-step hydrothermal synthesis method. MoS2-Ni3S2/NF exhibits low overpotentials of only 187 and 146 mV for OER and HER, respectively, to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH. The practical application of the designed bifunctional electrocatalyst is verified by constructing the MoS2-Ni3S2/NF || MoS2-Ni3S2/NF symmetrical membrane electrode assembly (MEA) of 4 cm2 working area for the anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer. The system shows continuous electrolysis for the monitored 48 h duration. For OER, an optimum d-band center of -1.66 eV for the heterostructure is calculated from the Density Functional Theory (DFT) studies. The factors like the unique structure of the electrocatalyst, enhanced hydrophilicity, improved electrochemically accessible number of sites (ECASs), and optimum d-band center, are expected to be the primary contributors to the system's improved performance. Thus, the present finding unveils a straightforward synthesis approach for creating a stable electrocatalyst for advancing commercial water electrolysis in the realm of renewable electrochemical energy conversion.</p>
