Abstract: Provided are a duty cycle calibration circuit and method, a chip, and an electronic device. In the duty cycle calibration circuit, through a counting clock signal having a higher clock signal frequency than a calibration clock signal, a counting unit is configured to acquire a number of counting pulses generated in a high-level state and a low-level state of the calibration clock signal within a preset counting period, so as to obtain an actual duty cycle of the calibration clock signal. Compared with a method of acquiring a duty cycle of a calibration clock signal by comparing the calibration clock signal with a reference clock signal, inaccurate measurement of the duty cycle of the calibration clock signal after the reference clock signal is affected can be overcome. Therefore, accuracy of measurement of the duty cycle can be improved, and precision of calibration of the duty cycle can be improved accordingly.

Abstract: Described herein relates to a method that may be used for synthesizing a bifunctional electrocatalyst for electrochemical water splitting. The method may involve anodically converting an electrodeposited iron-nickel alloy film into an iron-nickel-oxygen nanofilm, followed by sequential phosphorization and/or selenylation treatments via chemical vapor deposition to form a quaternary iron-nickel phosphoselenide nanoporous film. This self-supported catalyst can facilitate both hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reactions, improving electrolysis efficiency. The inclusion of selenium may enhance electrical conductivity and stabilize catalytic performance, while the nanoporous structure can optimize mass transport. The film may be used as both anode and cathode in a two-electrode electrolyzer, enabling hydrogen production from pure water or seawater. Notably, the catalyst can demonstrate high turnover frequency and low overpotential, potentially surpassing conventional noble-metal-based catalysts.
