Abstract
For acid-water oxidation, pyrochloric ruthenates are thought to be extremely effective electrocatalysts. In this work, through partial B-site replacement with larger M2+ cations, the electronic states of Y2Ru2O7 with strong electron correlations are reasonably managed, by which the inherent performance is tremendously promoted. Based on this, the improved Y2Ru1.9Sr0.1O7 electrocatalyst exhibits an outstanding durability and presents a highly inherent mass activity of 1915.1 A gRu-1 (at 1.53 V vs RHE). The enhanced oxygen-evolving reaction (OER) activity by ionic dopant in YRO pyrochlore can be attributed to two aspects, i.e., the lattice distortion induced inhibition of the grain coarsening, which results in a large surface area for YRO-M and increases the OER active sites, and the weakening of electron correlation via broadening of the Ru 4d bandwidths due to the increase of the average radius of B-site ions, which gives rise to an enhancement of conductivity and a strengthened hybridization between Ru 4d and O 2p orbitals and improves the reaction kinetics. The synergistic effects of lattice distortion and orbital hybridization promote the enhanced OER activity. The results would provide fresh concepts for the design of improved electrocatalysts and underscore the significance of managing the intrinsic performance through the dual modification of microstructure morphology and electronic structure.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 659:728-738. [PMID: 38211490 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.01.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 12/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
Luminol has garnered significant attention from analysts as one of the most effective and commonly used electrochemiluminescence (ECL) reagents. However, the efficient luminescence of luminol anode is limited by the excitation of various reactive oxygen species (ROS). Typically, ROS are generated through co-reactive reagents and dissolved oxygen. Unfortunately, the former suffers from two drawbacks, namely biotoxicity and instability, while the latter cannot offer sufficient oxygen due to its limited solubility in aqueous solutions. Consequently, a low decomposition rate is usually obtained, leading to insufficient ROS. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop efficient luminol anode systems. This study focuses on the use of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) as a template, employing a controlled chemical etching method to create a ZIF-67/Ni-Co-layered double hydroxide (LDH). The intermediate composite is then annealed in air, resulting in the formation of a Co3O4/NiCo2O4 double-shelled nanobox (DSNB) heterostructure. Due to its structural advantages, the DSNB exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performance in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Furthermore, it was found that both the intermediates and products of OER can directly participate in the luminol chemiluminescence process, ultimately resulting in a 700-fold increase in the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) signal compared to an equal molar concentration of luminol solution. This work not only establishes the OER-mediated ECL system but also deepens the understanding of the relationship between ROS and luminol, providing a new pathway to study the luminol anodic ECL luminescence system.

Abstract
Ion regulation strategy is regarded as a promising pathway for designing transition metal oxide-based electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with improved activity and stability. Precise anion conditioning can accurately change the anionic environment so that the acid radical ions (SO4 2- , PO3 2- , SeO4 2- , etc.), regardless of their state (inside the catalyst, on the catalyst surface, or in the electrolyte), can optimize the electronic structure of the cationic active site and further increase the catalytic activity. Herein, we report a new approach to encapsulate S atoms at the tetrahedral sites of the NaCl-type oxide NiO to form a tetraoxo-tetrahedral coordination structure (S-O4 ) inside the NiO (S-NiO -I). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and operando vibrational spectroscopy proves that this kind of unique structure could achieve the S-O4 and Ni-S stable structure in S-NiO-I. Combining mass spectroscopy characterization, it could be confirmed that the S-O4 structure is the key factor for triggering the lattice oxygen exchange to participate in the OER process. This work demonstrates that the formation of tetraoxygen tetrahedral structure is a generalized key for boosting the OER performances of transition metal oxides.

Abstract
Enhancing electrocatalytic performance through structural and compositional engineering attracts considerable attention. However, most materials only function as pre-catalysts and convert into "real catalysts" during electrochemical reactions. Such transition involves dramatic structural and compositional changes and disrupts their designed properties. Herein, for the first time, a laser-ironing (LI) approach capable of in-situ forming a laser-ironing capping layer (LICL) on the Co-ZIF-L flakes is developed. During the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process, the LICL sustains the leaf-like morphology and promotes the formation of OER-active Co3 O4 nanoclusters with the highest activity and stability. In contrast, the pristine and conventional heat-treated Co-ZIF-Ls both collapse and transform to less active CoOOH. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations pinpoint the importance of the high spin (HS) states of Co ions and the narrowed band gap in Co3 O4 nanoclusters. They enhance the OER activity by promoting spin-selected electron transport, effectively lowering the energy barrier and realizing a spontaneous O2 -releasing step that is the potential determining step (pds) in CoOOH. This study presents an innovative approach for modulating both structural and compositional evolutions of electrocatalysts during the reaction, sustaining stability with high performance during dynamic electrochemical reactions, and providing new pathways for facile and high-precision surface microstructure control.

Abstract
This study presents a novel approach to enhance the catalytic activity of composite materials by promoting active surface exposure and improving hydrogen transfer performance. Through a self-assembly route involving tailored gas-solid and galvanic replacement reactions, Pt-WC/CNT catalysts with superhydrophilicity and coronavirus-like structure are synthesized. These unique structural features contribute to a remarkable enhancement in the electrocatalytic performance of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Notably, the Pt-WC/CNT catalyst exhibits an outstanding intrinsic activity and efficient bubble transfer properties, leading to a high turnover frequency of 34.97 H2 ·s-1 at an overpotential of 100 mV. This value is 4.8 times higher than that achieved by commercial Pt/C catalysts (7.30 H2 ·s-1 ), establishing Pt-WC/CNT as one of the most active catalysts reported to date. Moreover, the combination of gas-solid and galvanic replacement reactions in the synthesis process offers a scalable route for the production of Pt-loading controllable composite catalysts, thus challenging the dominance of commercial Pt/C catalysts.

Abstract
Exploring efficient and robust self-supporting hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrodes using simple, accessible, and low-cost synthetic processes is crucial for the commercial application of water electrolysis at high current densities. Ni-based self-supporting electrodes are widely studied owing to their low cost and good catalytic performance. However, to date, the preparation of Ni-based electrodes requires multistep and complex preparation processes. In this study, a novel one-step in situ sintering method to synthesize mechanically stable and highly active Ni3 Se2 -Ni electrodes with well-controlled morphologies and structures is developed. Their excellent performance and durability can be attributed to the numerous highly active nano-Ni3 Se2 catalysts embedded on the surface of the Ni skeleton, the excellent conductivity of the interconnected conductive network, and the strong interfacial bonding between Ni3 Se2 and Ni. As a result, the Ni3 Se2 -Ni600 electrode can operate stably at 85 and 400 mA cm-2 for more than 800 and 300 h, respectively. Moreover, the Ni3 Se2 -Ni600 electrode displays outstanding stability for over 500 h in a commercial two-electrode system. This study provides a feasible one-step synthesis method for low-cost, high-efficiency metal selenide-metal self-supporting electrodes for water electrolysis.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic high-throughput seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production is a promising green energy technology that offers possibilities for environmental and energy sustainability. However, large-scale application is limited by the complex composition of seawater, high concentration of Cl- leading to competing reaction, and severe corrosion of electrode materials. In recent years, extensive research has been conducted to address these challenges. Metal nitrides (MNs) with excellent chemical stability and catalytic properties have emerged as ideal electrocatalyst candidates. This review presents the electrode reactions and basic parameters of the seawater splitting process, and summarizes the types and selection principles of conductive substrates with critical analysis of the design principles for seawater electrocatalysts. The focus is on discussing the properties, synthesis, and design strategies of MN-based electrocatalysts. Finally, we provide an outlook for the future development of MNs in the high-throughput seawater electrolysis field and highlight key issues that require further research and optimization.

Abstract
The development of highly active and stable electrode materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for the widespread application of electrochemical energy conversion systems. In recent years, various metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with self-supporting array structures have been extensively studied because of their high porosity, abundant metal sites, and flexible and adjustable structures. This review provides an overview of the recent progress in the design, preparation, and applications of MOF-based nanoarrays for the OER, beginning with the introduction of the architectural advantages of the nanoarrays and the characteristics of MOFs. Subsequently, the design principles of robust and efficient MOF-based nanoarrays as OER electrodes are highlighted. Furthermore, detailed discussions focus on the composition, structure, and performance of pristine MOF nanoarrays (MOFNAs) and MOF-based composite nanoarrays. On the one hand, the effects of the two components of MOFs and several modification methods are discussed in detail for MOFNAs. On the other hand, the review emphasizes the use of MOF-based composite nanoarrays composed of MOFs and other nanomaterials, such as oxides, hydroxides, oxyhydroxides, chalcogenides, MOFs, and metal nanoparticles, to guide the rational design of efficient OER electrodes. Finally, perspectives on current challenges, opportunities, and future directions in this research field are provided.

Abstract
To combat with energy crisis considering clean energy, oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial to implement electrolytic hydrogen fuel production in real life. Here, straightforward chemical synthesis pathways are followed to prepare cobalt tetraoxide nanoparticles (Co3 O4 NPs) in an alkaline OER process using poly[(2-methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride (Co3 O4 NPs@PMTC) as support to prevent aggregation. In material characterization, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirms the crystallinity of the synthesized Co3 O4 NPs@PMTC, and Raman spectroscopy indicates that the Co3 O4 NPs contain cubic close-packed oxides. The morphological analysis reveals the wrinkle-like disruption which is distributed evenly owing to the folded nanosheet arrays. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy indicates the presence of a significant number of cobalt atoms in the Co3 O4 NPs, and elemental mapping analysis demonstrates the composition of the NPs. At a current density of 10 mA cm-2 , oxygen is emitted at 1.67 V delivering an overpotential of 440 mV. This unique structure of Co3 O4 NPs@PMTC provides beneficial functions that are responsible for a large number of active sites and the rapid release of oxygen gas with long-term stability. Through kinetic study, we found a Tafel slope of 48.9 mV dec-1 which proves the catalytic behavior of Co3 O4 NPs@PMTC is promising toward the OER process.

Abstract
Transition metal borides, carbides, pnictides, and chalcogenides (X-ides) have emerged as a class of materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Because of their high earth abundance, electrical conductivity, and OER performance, these electrocatalysts have the potential to enable the practical application of green energy conversion and storage. Under OER potentials, X-ide electrocatalysts demonstrate various degrees of oxidation resistance due to their differences in chemical composition, crystal structure, and morphology. Depending on their resistance to oxidation, these catalysts will fall into one of three post-OER electrocatalyst categories: fully oxidized oxide/(oxy)hydroxide material, partially oxidized core@shell structure, and unoxidized material. In the past ten years (from 2013 to 2022), over 890 peer-reviewed research papers have focused on X-ide OER electrocatalysts. Previous review papers have provided limited conclusions and have omitted the significance of "catalytically active sites/species/phases" in X-ide OER electrocatalysts. In this review, a comprehensive summary of (i) experimental parameters (e.g., substrates, electrocatalyst loading amounts, geometric overpotentials, Tafel slopes, etc.) and (ii) electrochemical stability tests and post-analyses in X-ide OER electrocatalyst publications from 2013 to 2022 is provided. Both mono and polyanion X-ides are discussed and classified with respect to their material transformation during the OER. Special analytical techniques employed to study X-ide reconstruction are also evaluated. Additionally, future challenges and questions yet to be answered are provided in each section. This review aims to provide researchers with a toolkit to approach X-ide OER electrocatalyst research and to showcase necessary avenues for future investigation.

Reversely Trapping Isolated Atoms in High Oxidation State for Accelerating the Oxygen Evolution Reaction Kinetics. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202309341. [PMID: 37640691 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202309341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
Developing efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is paramount to the energy conversion and storage devices. However, the structural complexity of heterogeneous electrocatalysts makes it a great challenge to elucidate the dynamic structural evolution and OER mechanisms. Here, we develop a controllable atom-trapping strategy to extract isolated Mo atom from the amorphous MoOx -decorated CoSe2 (a-MoOx @CoSe2 ) pre-catalyst into Co-based oxyhydroxide (Mo-CoOOH) through an ultra-fast self-reconstruction process during the OER process. This conceptual advance has been validated by operando characterizations, which reveals that the initially rapid Mo leaching can expedite the dynamic reconstruction of pre-catalyst, and simultaneously trap Mo species in high oxidation state into the lattice of in situ generated CoOOH support. Impressively, the OER kinetics of CoOOH has been greatly accelerated after the reverse decoration of Mo species, in which the Mo-CoOOH affords a markedly decreased overpotential of 297 mV at the current density of 100 mA cm-2 . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that the Co species have been greatly activated via the effective electron coupling with Mo species in high oxidation state. These findings open new avenues toward directly synthesizing atomically dispersed electrocatalysts for high-efficiency water splitting.

Abstract
Platinum-based electrocatalysts possess high water electrolysis activity and are essential components for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). A major challenge, however, is how to break the cost-efficiency trade-off. Here, a novel defect engineering strategy is presented to construct a nanoporous (FeCoNiB0.75 )97 Pt3 (atomic %) high-entropy metallic glass (HEMG) with a nanocrystalline surface structure that contains large amounts of lattice distortion and stacking faults to achieve excellent electrocatalytic performance using only 3 at% of Pt. The defect-rich HEMG achieves ultralow overpotentials at ampere-level current density of 1000 mA cm-2 for HER (104 mV) and oxygen evolution reaction (301 mV) under alkaline conditions, while retains a long-term durability exceeding 200 h at 100 mA cm-2 . Moreover, it only requires 81 and 122 mV to drive the current densities of 1000 and 100 mA cm-2 for HER under acidic and neutral conditions, respectively. Modelling results reveal that lattice distortion and stacking fault defects help to optimize atomic configuration and modulate electronic interaction, while the surface nanoporous architecture provides abundant active sites, thus synergistically contributing to the reduced energy barrier for water electrolysis. This defect engineering approach combined with a HEMG design strategy is expected to be widely applicable for development of high-performance alloy catalysts.

Abstract
The electronic regulation and surface reconstruction of earth-abundant electrocatalysts are essential to efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Here, an inverse-spinel Co,S atomic pair codoped Fe3 O4 grown on iron foam (Co,S-Fe3 O4 /IF) is fabricated as a cost-effective electrocatalyst for OER. This strategy of Co and S atomic pair directional codoping features accelerates surface reconstruction and dynamically stabilizes electronic regulation. CoS atomic pairs doped in the Fe3 O4 crystal favor controllable surface reconstruction via sulfur leaching, forming oxygen vacancies and Co doping on the surface of reconstructed FeOOH (Co-FeOOH-Ov /IF). Before and after surface reconstruction via in situ electrochemical process, the Fe sites with octahedral field dynamically maintains an appropriate electronic structure for OER intermediates, thus exhibiting consistently excellent OER performance. The electrochemically tuned Fe-based electrodes exhibit a low overpotential of 349 mV at a current density of 1000 mA cm-2 , a slight Tafel slope of 43.3 mV dec-1 , and exceptional long-term electrolysis stability of 200 h in an alkaline medium. Density functional theory calculations illustrate the electronic regulation of Fe sites, changes in Gibbs free energies, and the breaking of the restrictive scaling relation between OER intermediates. This work provides a promising directional codoping strategy for developing precatalysts for large-scale water-splitting systems.

Abstract
Aluminum-air batteries are still inhibited by the sluggish cathodic oxygen reduction reactions, especially in low temperature conditions. Thus, it is urgent to develop efficient electrocatalysts for Al-air batteries to allow their use in extreme weather conditions. In this work, hexagonal Co0.85Se-decorated N,Se co-doped carbon nanofibers (Co0.85Se@N,Se-CNFs) were synthesized via facile carbonization/selenization of electrospun ZIF-67 nanocubes. The as-prepared metallic Co0.85Se with ordered structural cation vacancies endows Co0.85Se@N,Se-CNFs with remarkable oxygen reduction reaction activity, including high onset and half-wave potentials (0.93 V and 0.87 V vs. RHE, respectively). Consequently, the corresponding Al-air battery exhibits superior performance in a wide range of operating temperatures (-40-50 °C). For instance, this Al-air battery exhibits a voltage from 0.15-1.2 V with a peak power density of about 0.7 mW cm-2 at -40 °C. It is expected that TMSe-decorated N,Se co-doped carbon nanofibers could be applied in extensive energy fields.

Abstract
Precatalyst reconstruction in alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) usually leads to changes in the morphology, composition, and structure, thus improving the catalytic activity, which recently receives intensive attention. However, the design strategies of cathodic reconstruction and the structural features of reconstruction products have not achieved a profound understanding. Here, from the point of thermodynamic stability, metastable nickel selenite dihydrate (NiSeO3·2H2O) is deliberately fabricated as a precatalyst to comprehensively study the reconstruction dynamics in alkaline HER. Multiple in/ex situ techniques capture the geometric, component, and phase evolutions, proving that NiSeO3·2H2O can be transformed into SeO32--decorated polycrystalline NiO nanosheets with rich active sites and good conductivity under alkaline HER conditions, which act as a real catalytic active species. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the adsorption of SeO32- can further promote the HER activity of NiO due to the optimized free energy of water activation and hydrogen adsorption. As a result, the SeO32--NiO catalyst exhibits a low overpotential at -10 mA cm-2 (90 mV) and long-term stability (>100 h). This work highlights the targeted design of precatalyst to trigger and utilize cathodic reconstruction and provides an available method for the development of adsorption-modulated efficient electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Inorganic-organic hybrids are promising anode catalysts to realize high activity and stability. Herein, an amorphous-dominated transition metal hydroxide-organic framework (MHOF) with isostructural mixed-linker was successfully synthesized on nickel foam (NF) substrate. The designed IML24-MHOF/NF exhibited remarkable electrocatalytic activity with an ultralow overpotential of 271 mV for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and a potential of 1.29 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode for urea oxidation reaction (UOR) at 10 mA·cm-2. Furthermore, the IML24-MHOF/NF||Pt-C cell required only 1.31 V for urea electrolysis at 10 mA·cm-2, which was much smaller than traditional water splitting (1.50 V). When coupled with UOR, the hydrogen yield rate was faster (1.04 mmol·h-1) than with OER (0.32 mmol·h-1) at 1.6 V. The structure characterizations, together with operando monitoring, including operando Raman, Fourier transform infrared, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and alcohol molecules probe, revealed that: (1) amorphous IML24-MHOF/NF prefers self-adaptive reconstruction into active intermediate species against the external stimulus; (2) pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate-incorporation into parent framework reconfigures electronic structure of system, thus mediating the absorption of oxygen-containing reactants during anodic oxidation reactions, such as O* and COO*. This work provides a new approach for boosting the catalytic activity of anodic electro-oxidation reactions by trimming the structure of MHOF-based catalysts.

Abstract
In recent years, as a green renewable energy production technology, electrochemical water splitting has demonstrated high development potential. Many materials have been reported as successful catalysts in the water-splitting field. However, it is still a huge challenge to produce bifunctional electrocatalysts for the efficient and sustainable generation of hydrogen and oxygen simultaneously. Herein, we successfully developed oxygen vacancies abundant CuCo layered double oxide (Ov-CuCo-LDO) hollow nanotube arrays (HNTAs) loaded on nickel foam as advanced electrocatalysts for total water splitting. When the current density was 10 mA cm-2, the Ov-CuCo-LDO HNTAs exhibited outstanding onset overpotentials of 53.9 and 72.5 mV for the hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER) in alkaline medium, respectively, because of the bimetallic synergistic effect between the cobalt and copper and the unique hollow porous structure. In addition, an as-assembled Ov-CuCo-LDO||Ov-CuCo-LDO electrolytic cell showed a small potential of 1.55 V to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm-2. Moreover, it also showed remarkable durability after long-term overall water splitting for more than 20 h. The research results in this paper are of great interest to practical applications of the water decomposition process, providing clear and in-depth insights into preliminary robust and efficient multifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.

Abstract
The progress of inexpensive, high-efficiency, and steady oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is of great importance to promoting water splitting for green hydrogen production. Herein, tri-metallic NiCoFe selenide catalyst backed up by carbon fiber paper (CFP) was synthesized by a facile selenization of NiCoFe Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) for OER in alkaline solutions. The NiCoFe-Se/CFP inherited the porous nanostructure of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) precursors prepared by rapid cyclic voltammetry electrodeposition. Benefiting from the 3D hierarchical porous structure, optimized electronic structure of NiCoFe selenides and high conductivity, the synthesized electrocatalyst exhibits outstanding catalytic activity to the corresponding mono-metallic or bi-metallic selenides. Specifically, the NiCoFe-Se/CFP electrode demands an overpotential of 221 mV to attain the 10 mA cm-2 current density in 1.0 M KOH solution and a low Tafel slope of 38.6 mV dec-1. The prepared catalyst also displays good stability and durability. These findings prove a feasible strategy to further improve the catalytic activities of non-precious metal based OER electrocatalysts by the cooperation of structure design and chemical component modification.

Abstract
Exploring durable electrocatalysts with high activity for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic media is of paramount importance for H2 production via polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyzers, yet it remains urgently challenging. Herein, we report a synergistic strategy of Rh doping and surface oxygen vacancies to precisely regulate unconventional OER reaction path via the Ru-O-Rh active sites of Rh-RuO2, simultaneously boosting intrinsic activity and stability. The stabilized low-valent catalyst exhibits a remarkable performance, with an overpotential of 161 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and activity retention of 99.2% exceeding 700 h at 50 mA cm-2. Quasi in situ/operando characterizations demonstrate the recurrence of reversible oxygen species under working potentials for enhanced activity and durability. It is theoretically revealed that Rh-RuO2 passes through a more optimal reaction path of lattice oxygen mediated mechanism-oxygen vacancy site mechanism induced by the synergistic interaction of defects and Ru-O-Rh active sites with the rate-determining step of *O formation, breaking the barrier limitation (*OOH) of the traditional adsorption evolution mechanism.

Transition metal (TM) hydroxides are the most conventional and classical non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts for OER, while TM basic salts [M2+(OH)2-x(Am-)x/m, A = CO32-, NO3-, F-, Cl-] consisting of OH- and another anion have drawn extensive research interest due to its higher catalytic activity in the past decade. In this review, we summarize the recent advances of TM basic salts and their application in OER and further overall water splitting. We categorize TM basic salt-based OER pre-catalysts into four types (CO32-, NO3-, F-, Cl-) according to the anion, which is a key factor for their outstanding performance towards OER. We highlight experimental and theoretical methods for understanding the structure evolution during OER and the effect of anion on catalytic performance. To develop bifunctional TM basic salts as catalyst for the practical electrolysis application, we also review the present strategies for enhancing its hydrogen evolution reaction activity and thereby improving its overall water splitting performance. Finally, we conclude this review with a summary and perspective about the remaining challenges and future opportunities of TM basic salts as catalysts for water electrolysis.

Abstract
Efficient hydrogen production, biomass up-conversion, and CO2-to-fuel generation are the key challenges of the present decade. Electrocatalysis in aqueous electrolytes by choosing suitable transition-metal-based electrode materials remains the green approach for the trio of sustainable developments. Given that, finding electrode materials with multifunctional capability would be beneficial. Herein, the nanocrystalline α-NiS, synthesized solvothermally, has been chosen as an electrode material. As the first step to construct an electrolyzer, α-NiS deposited on conducting nickel foam (NF) has been used as an anode, and under the anodic potential, the α-NiS particles have lost sulfides to the electrolyte and transform to amorphous electro-derived NiO(OH) (NiO(OH)ED), confirmed by different spectroscopic and microscopic studies. In situ transformation of α-NiS to amorphous NiO(OH)ED results in an enhancement of the electrochemical surface area and not only becomes active toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at a moderate overpotential of 264 mV (at 20 mA cm-2) but also can convert a series of biomass-derived organic compounds, namely, 2-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), 2-furfural (FF), ethylene glycol (EG), and glycerol (Gly), to industrially relevant feedstocks with a high (∼96%) Faradaic efficiency. During these organic oxidations, NiO(OH)ED/NF participate in the multiple-electron oxidation process (up to 8e-) including C-C bond cleavages of EG and Gly. During the cathodic performance of the α-NiS/NF, the structural integrity has been retained and the unaltered α-NiS/NF electrode remains more effective cathode for alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and CO2 reduction (CO2R) compared to its in situ-derived NiO(OH)ED/NF. α-NiS/NF can reduce the CO2 predominantly to CO even at a higher potential like -0.8 V (vs RHE). The fabricated cell with α-NiS and its electro-oxidized NiO(OH)ED counterpart, α-NiS/NF(-)/(+)NiO(OH)ED/NF, is able to show an artificial photosynthetic scheme in which the NiO(OH)ED/NF anode oxidizes water to O2 and the α-NiS cathode reduces CO2 majorly to CO in a moderate cell potential. In this study, α-NiS has been utilized as a single electrode material to perform multiple sustainable transformations.

Abstract
The powerful and rapid development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in secondary batteries field makes lithium resources in short supply, leading to rising battery costs. Under the circumstances, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with low cost, inexhaustible sodium reserves, and analogous work principle to LIBs, have evolved as one of the most anticipated candidates for large-scale energy storage devices. Thereinto, the applicable electrode is a core element for the smooth development of SIBs. Among various anode materials, metal selenides (MSex ) with relatively high theoretical capacity and unique structures have aroused extensive interest. Regrettably, MSex suffers from large volume expansion and unwished side reactions, which result in poor electrochemistry performance. Thus, strategies such as carbon modification, structural design, voltage control as well as electrolyte and binder optimization are adopted to alleviate these issues. In this review, the synthesis methods and main reaction mechanisms of MSex are systematically summarized. Meanwhile, the major challenges of MSex and the corresponding available strategies are proposed. Furthermore, the recent research progress on layered and nonlayered MSex for application in SIBs is presented and discussed in detail. Finally, the future development focuses of MSex in the field of rechargeable ion batteries are highlighted.

Abstract
In this work, a 3D ultra-thin NiCo-LDH nanosheet array coated Cu nanoparticles on carbon cloth (NiCo-LDH@Cu NSA/CC) was ultrafast synthesized by plasma magnetron sputtering for the first time. This method has low toxicity and is easy to operate. As a durable and efficient 3D heteronanoarray electrocatalyst for glucose detection, NiCo-LDH@Cu NSA/CC has higher stable conductivity and faster electron transport rate than NiCo-LDH NSA/CC and Cu nanoparticles, which work through synergistic effect to form a high-performance sensing platform. The NiCo-LDH@Cu NSA/CC heteronanosheet structure has good electrocatalytic performance for glucose oxidation, with the sensitivity of the two linear ranges (0.001-1 mmol L-1 and 1-6 mmol L-1) being 9710 μA L mmol-1 cm-2 and 4870 μA L mmol-1 cm-2, respectively, and the detection limit (LOD) is 157 nmol L-1 (S/N = 3). The sensor has been successfully applied to detect glucose in beverages and serum.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia (NH3), a green NH3 production route upon combining with renewable energy sources, is an appealing and alternative method to the Haber-Bosch process. However, this process not only involves the complicated eight-electron reduction to transform nitrate into various nitrogen products but simultaneously suffers from the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction, challenged by a lack of efficient catalysts. Herein, the in situ growth of Fe2O3 nanorod arrays on carbon cloth (Fe2O3 NRs/CC) is reported to exhibit a high NH3 yield rate of 328.17 μmol h-1 cm-2 at -0.9 V versus RHE, outperforming most of the reported Fe catalysts. An in situ growth strategy provides massive exposed active sites and a fast electron-transport channel between the carbon cloth and Fe2O3, which accelerates the charge-transport rate and facilitates the conversion of nitrate to NH3. In situ Raman spectroscopy in conjunction with attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy reveals the catalytic mechanism of nitrate to NH3. Our study provides not only an efficient catalyst for NH3 production but also useful guidelines for the pathways and mechanism of nitrate electroreduction to NH3.

Abstract
In this study, a honeycomb-like porous-structured nickel-iron-cobalt layered double hydroxide/Ti3C2Tx (NiFeCo-LDH@MXene) composite was successfully fabricated on a three-dimensional nickel foam using a simple hydrothermal approach. Owing to their distinguishable characteristics, the fabricated honeycomb porous-structured NiFeCo-LDH@MXene composites exhibited outstanding bifunctional electrocatalytic activity for pair hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions in alkaline medium. The developed NiFeCo-LDH@MXene electrocatalyst required low overpotentials of 130 and 34 mV to attain a current density of 10 mA cm-2 for OER and HER, respectively. Furthermore, an assembled NiFeCo-LDH@MXene‖NiFeCo-LDH@MXene device exhibited a cell voltage of 1.41 V for overall water splitting with a robust firmness for over 24 h to reach 10 mA cm-2 current density, signifying outstanding performance for water splitting reactions. These results demonstrated the promising potential of the designed 3D porous NiFeCo-LDH@MXene sheets as outstanding candidates to replace future green energy conversion devices.

Abstract
Electrically assisted water splitting is an endurable strategy for hydrogen production, but the sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) extremely restrict the large-scale production of hydrogen. Developing highly efficient and non-precious catalytic materials is essential to accelerate the sluggish kinetics of OER. However, currently used catalyst supports, such as copper foam, suffer from inferior corrosion resistance and structural stability, resulting in the disabled functionality of 3D conductive networks. To this end, a novel 3D freestanding electrode with corrosion-resistant and robust Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy lattice as the catalyst support is designed via a 3D printing technology of selective laser melting. After the coating of core-shell Cu(OH)2@CoNi carbonate hydroxides (CoNiCH) on the designed lattice, a unique micro/nano-sized hierarchical porous structure is formed, which endows the electrocatalyst with a promising electrocatalytic activity (a low overpotential of 355 mV at 30 mA cm-2 and Tafel slope of 125.3 mV dec-1 ). Computational results indicate that the CoNiCH exhibits optimized electron transfer and the catalytic activity of the Ni site is higher than that of the Co site in the CoNiCH. Therefore, the integration of robust catalyst supports and highly active materials opens up an avenue for reliable and high-performance OER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Metal substrates are frequently used as current collectors and supports for electrochemically active materials, but their effect on the physical and electrochemical performance of electrocatalysts is rarely investigated. In this study, the electrodeposition method was used to coat four different metal meshes with three-dimensional nickel porous structures using hydrogen bubbles as a template. The significant influence of the metal substrates on the morphology of deposited nickel was demonstrated. 3D porous structures formed on nickel, iron, copper, and titanium meshes via the hydrogen bubble template method varied significantly. It was found that differences in the physical adsorption of hydrogen and electrochemical hydrogen evolution on metal substrates are the fundamental reasons behind the diverse morphology of the coatings. Lattice matching of the substrate and the active material also plays an important role during the electrodeposition process. Electrocatalytic performance of the newly prepared materials in water electrolysis was evaluated using the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER). The results demonstrate the high electrocatalytic activity of Ni/FeM in the OER and HER, and the good stability of Ni/TiM in HER.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Rational composition design of trimetallic phosphide catalysts is of significant importance for enhanced surface reaction and efficient catalytic performance. Herein, hierarchical Co x Ni y Fe z P with precise control of stoichiometric metallic elements (x:y:z = (1-10):(1-10):1) has been synthesized, and Co1.3Ni0.5Fe0.2P, as the most optimal composition, exhibits remarkable catalytic activity (η = 320 mV at 10 mA cm-2) and long-term stability (ignorable decrease after 10 h continuous test at the current density of 10 mA cm-2) toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER). It is found that the surface P in Co1.3Ni0.5Fe0.2P was replaced by O under the OER process. The density function theory calculations before and after long-term stability tests suggest the clear increasing of the density of states near the Fermi level of Co1.3Ni0.5Fe0.2P/Co1.3Ni0.5Fe0.2O, which could enhance the OH- adsorption of our electrocatalysts and the corresponding OER performance. ELECTRONIC SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL Supplementary material is available in the online version of this article at 10.1007/s40843-022-2061-x.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework-templated nitrogen-doped graphitic carbon (NGC) and polydopamine-derived carbon (PDA-derived C)-double coated one-dimensional CoSe2 nanorods supported highly porous three-dimensional microspheres are introduced as anodes for excellent Na-ion batteries, particularly with long-lived cycle under carbonate-based electrolyte system. The microspheres uniformly composed of ZIF-67 polyhedrons and polystyrene nanobeads (ϕ = 40 nm) are synthesized using the facile spray pyrolysis technique, followed by the selenization process (P-CoSe2@NGC NR). Further, the PDA-derived C-coated microspheres are obtained using a solution-based coating approach and the subsequent carbonization process (P-CoSe2@PDA-C NR). The rational synthesis approach benefited from the synergistic effects of dual carbon coating, resulting in a highly conductive and porous nanostructure that could facilitate rapid diffusion of charge species along with efficient electrolyte infiltration and effectively channelize the volume stress. Consequently, the prepared nanostructure exhibits extraordinary electrochemical performance, particularly the ultra-long cycle life stability. For instance, the advanced anode has a discharge capacity of 291 (1000th cycle, average capacity decay of 0.017%) and 142 mAh g-1 (5000th cycle, average capacity decay of 0.011%) at a current density of 0.5 and 2.0 A g-1, respectively.

Abstract
Strong demand for renewable energy resources and clean environments have inspired scientists and researchers across the globe to carry out research activities on energy provision, conversion, and storage devices. In this context, development of outperform, stable, and durable electrocatalysts has been identified as one of the major objectives for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we offer facile approach for the deposition of few palladium oxide (PdO) nanoparticles on the cobalt-nickel bi-metallic sulphide (CoNi2S4) microstructures represented as PdO@ CoNi2S4using ultraviolet light (UV) reduction method. The morphology, crystalline structure, and chemical composition of the as-prepared PdO@ CoNi2S4composite were probed through scanning electron microscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques. The combined physical characterization results revealed that ultraviolet light (UV) light promoted the facile deposition of PdO nanoparticles of 10 nm size onto the CoNi2S4and the fabricated PdO@ CoNi2S4composite has a remarkable activity towards OER in alkaline media. Significantly, it exhibited a low onset potential of 1.41 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and a low overpotential of 230 mV at 10 mA cm-2. Additionally, the fabricated PdO@ CoNi2S4composite has a marked stability of 45 h. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy has shown that the PdO@CoNi2S4composite has a low charge transfer resistance of 86.3 Ohms, which favours the OER kinetics. The PdO@ CoNi2S4composite provided the multiple number of active sites, which favoured the enhanced OER activity. Taken together, this new class of material could be utilized in energy conversion and storage as well as sensing applications.

Abstract
Currently, hydrogen production is based on the reforming process, leading to the emission of pollutants; therefore, a substitute production method is imminently required. Water electrolysis is an ideal alternative for large-scale hydrogen production, as it does not produce any carbon-based pollutant byproducts. The production of green hydrogen from water electrolysis using intermittent sources (e.g., solar and eolic sources) would facilitate clean energy storage. However, the electrocatalysts currently required for water electrolysis are noble metals, making this potential option expensive and inaccessible for industrial applications. Therefore, there is a need to develop electrocatalysts based on earth-abundant and low-cost metals. Nickel-based electrocatalysts are a fitting alternative because they are economically accessible. Extensive research has focused on developing nickel-based electrocatalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution. Theoretical and experimental work have addressed the elucidation of these electrochemical processes and the role of heteroatoms, structure, and morphology. Even though some works tend to be contradictory, they have lit up the path for the development of efficient nickel-based electrocatalysts. For these reasons, a review of recent progress is presented herein.

Abstract
Although researches on non-noble metal electrocatalysts have been made some progress recently, their performance in proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer is still incomparable to that of noble-metal-based catalysts. Therefore, it is a more practical way to improve the utilization of precious metals in electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in the acidic medium. Herein, nanostructured IrCo@IrCoOxcore-shell electrocatalysts composed of IrCo alloy core and IrCoOxshell were synthesized through a simple colloidally synthesis and calcination method. As expected, the hybrid IrCo-200 NPs with petal-like morphology show the best OER activities in acidic electrolytes. They deliver lower overpotential and better electrocatalytic kinetics than pristine IrCo alloy and commercial Ir/C, reaching a low overpotential (j = 10 mA cm-2) of 259 mV (versus RHE) and a Tafel slope of 59 mV dec-1. The IrCo-200 NPs displayed robust durability with life time of about 55 h in acidic solution under a large current density of 50 mA cm-2. The enhanced electrocatalytic activity may be associated with the unique metal/amorphous metal oxide core-shell heterostructure, allowing the improved charge transferability. Moreover, the *OH-rich amorphous shell functions as the active site for OER and prevents the further dissolution of the metallic core and thus ensures high stability.

Abstract
Water electrolysis is a promising solution to convert renewable energy sources to hydrogen as a high-energy-density energy carrier. Although alkaline conditions extend the scope of electrocatalysts beyond precious metal-based materials to earth-abundant materials, the sluggish kinetics of cathodic and anodic reactions (hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, respectively) impede the development of practical electrocatalysts that do not use precious metals. This review discusses the rational design of efficient electrocatalysts by exploiting the understanding of alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction mechanisms and of the electron structure-activity relationship, as achieved by combining experimental and computational approaches. The enhancement of water splitting not only deals with intrinsic catalytic activity but also includes the aspect of electrical conductivity and stability. Future perspectives to increase the synergy between theory and experiment are also proposed.
