Alhamdulillah. By the grace of Allah, I am delighted to share that my first research article as first author (equally shared), titled “One-step electrodeposition of Fe–Mn binary sulfide electrocatalysts on nickel foam for oxygen evolution reaction,” has been published in Inorganic Chemistry Communications (Q1 Journal; Impact Factor: 5.9, CiteScore: 8.2; publisher is Elsevier). I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our respected mentor and supervisor, Dr. A. J. Saleh Ahammad Sir, for his continuous guidance, valuable time, thoughtful corrections, and unwavering support throughout this journey. His patience, constructive feedback, and constant encouragement helped me to improve the manuscript at every stage. 🔗 If anyone is interested, you are most welcome to read our work: ⁠https://lnkd.in/ghQpqtiE To meet the growing global energy demand, the development of cost-effective and durable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is highly important. In this work, we report a binary iron–manganese sulfide (FeMnS) nanosheet electrode directly grown on nickel foam via a one-step potentiostatic electrodeposition method. The fabricated FeMnS/NF electrode exhibits excellent OER performance in alkaline media along with remarkable stability. Its low cost, low overpotential, and excellent activity at high current density make FeMnS/NF a promising candidate for future commercial applications. In this research paper we highlighted ★ Pure Fe-Mn sulfide nanosheets were prepared by using one-step potentiostatic electrodeposition on nickel foam. ★ The 2:1 ratio of Fe to Mn produced a well-connected nanosheet network with abundant active sites. ★The FeMnS/NF electrode achieved 321 mV at 50 mA cm−2 and 384 mV at 100 mA cm−2 for OER in 1.0 M KOH. ★The catalyst showed excellent durability, retaining ~100% activity over 10 h of continuous operation. A very special thanks to Dr. Md. Shafiul Islam , PhD Sir (Noakhali Science and Technology University), Dr. Abu Asaduzzaman Sir (Pennsylvania State University, USA), Dr Abdul matin Sir (CARS, University of Dhaka), Prof. Dr. Abu Yusuf Sir (Khulna University of Engineering & Technology), and Prof. Kim (Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Korea) for their excellent collaboration and support. I am truly grateful to everyone who has contributed to this journey. Please keep me in your prayers for my future research endeavors.
