The development of highly efficient catalysts has attracted great attention in energy conversion field. In this work, a series of 3D network aloe waste-derived carbon (3D-AWC)-supported molybdenum-based bimetallic oxide nanohybrids (ZnMoO4/3D-AWC, Cu3Mo2O9/3D-AWC, and MnMoO4/3D-AWC) were synthesized via co-precipitation method. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of molybdenum-based bimetallic oxide and 3D-AWC, the catalytic activities of electrocatalysts for triiodide reduction reaction (IRR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) were enhanced. Solar cell with ZnMoO4/3D-AWC obtained device efficiency of 7.65%, comparable to that with Pt (6.74%), while ZnMoO4/3D-AWC catalyst delivered a Tafel slope (54 mV dec(-1)) in 1.0 M KOH for HER, which demonstrated a comparable property to Pt/C. In addition, the 3D-AWC-supported molybdenum-based bimetallic oxide nanohybrid catalysts exhibited superior electrochemical stability in IRR and HER. The catalytic mechanism was illustrated from electronic structure and work function by first-principle DFT calculations. This research provides a reference in designing high-performance catalysts for multi-domain energy fields.
