(<italic>E</italic>)-<italic>N</italic>′-(2-Nitrobenzylidene)-benzenesulfonohydrazide was prepared from 2-nitrobenzaldehyde and benzenesulfonylhydrazine by using a condensation method and applied as a selective As<sup>3+</sup>sensor.
It is of significant importance to develop effective non-noble-metal catalysts for hydrogen evolution electrocatalysis under basic conditions. In this study, we demonstrate the facile construction of a Ni<sub>2</sub>P-CeO<sub>2</sub> interface based on the central point that low-temperature phosphidation of the NiO-CeO<sub>2</sub> precursor only converts NiO into Ni<sub>2</sub>P selectively. The resulting Ni<sub>2</sub>P-CeO<sub>2</sub> nanosheet array on Ti mesh behaves as a durable catalyst for alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysis, and it can reach 20 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> at an overpotential of 84 mV in 1.0 M KOH, outperforming all reported Ni phosphide HER catalysts. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the Ni<sub>2</sub>P-CeO<sub>2</sub> interface can promote water dissociation and optimize hydrogen adsorption free energy.
