Abstract

Using a flexible bis (triazole) ligand BBPTZ, where BBPTZ = 4,4'- bis (1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl) biphenyl, a novel compound of [Ni2(BBPTZ)4][β-Mo8O26] (1) based on [NiN4O2]2+ secondary building unit (SBU) and [β-Mo8O26]4– cluster was synthesized by hydrothermal method. In compound 1, the [NiN4O2]2+ SBUs serving as 2-connected joints were directly connected [β-Mo8O26]4– clusters forming 1D inorganic strips. The adjacent strips were assembled through two types of BBPTZ ligands along the c axis, giving rise to 2D layers. It exhibits not only good thermal stability but also bifunctional electrocatalytic activity. When using it as the electrocatalyst for the electrochemical sensing for bromate, it shows a broad sensor range (1.35–4.75 mM) and comparable sensitivity of 62.39 µA cm−2 mM−1. Moreover, it also exhibits a remarkable activity towards the hydrogen evolution reaction, with a 248 mV onset potential, a Tafel slope of 131 mV dec−1, and a η10 of 386 mV.
