Data on enhancing the water electrolysis performance of silicon carbide nanoparticles in various electrolytes through oxygen doping
Аннотация
The presented data emphasizes the significant effect of oxygen doping on promoting the electrocatalytic activity and durability of silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles towards water electrolysis, including oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in different electrolytes. This data is particularly relevant for researchers in academia, industrial representatives, and other parties who are focused on enhancing the electrocatalytic properties of metal carbides or semiconductors used in electrochemical energy conversion and production reactions. The XRD calculations herein are important for understanding the effect of doping on the crystallinity of metal carbide. The OER and HER durability tests are crucial for investigating the feasibility of the as-made SiC for partial applications. These data are related to the research article titled ''Oxygen-Enriched Silicon Carbide Nanocrystals for Efficient Overall Water Splitting: Unveiling Effect of Doping and Electrolyte pH.''.
