Abstract
NiO-based composites exhibit high catalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, high-performance NiO/Ni/C nanosheet catalysts were obtained by liquid-phase pulsed plasma (LPP), which was generated between two nickel electrodes in ethylene glycol (EG) solution by a homemade high-voltage pulse power supply. Melted nickel nanodrops were ejected from nickel electrodes which were bombarded by the energetic plasma. Simultaneously, high-temperature nickel nanodrops promoted the decomposition of the organics which were converted in the EG solution by the catalysis of LPP and formed hierarchical porous carbon nanosheets. Due to the high surface energy of the hierarchical porous carbon nanosheets, the spherical particles of Ni/NiO were adsorbed on the surface to compose the NiO/Ni/C composites. The pore size distribution of the composites could be controlled with different EG concentrations. When the EG concentration was 10 vol% (EG30), the composites possessed a H2 + H2 + H3 type pore size distribution and maximum active site area, leading to an exceptional OER activity (289.2 mV overpotential at 10 mA cm-2).

Abstract
One of the present great challenges is finding nonprecious materials characterized by efficient electrocatalytic behavior in order to substitute the expensive platinum-based materials for the purpose of hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs). In this study, ZIF-67 and ZIF-67 were used as precursors in order to fabricate metallic-doped N-enriched carbon successfully through a simple process of pyrolysis for applying the hydrogen evolution reaction. In addition, nickel was added to these structures in the course of the synthesis procedure. While under high-temperature treatment, Nickel doped ZIF-67 was transformed into metallic NiCo doped N enriched carbon (NiCo/NC), under high-temperature treatments, Ni-doped ZIF-8 changed into metallic NiZn doped N enriched carbon (NiZn/NC). By combining metallic precursors, the following five structures were synthesized: NiCo/NC, Co/NC, NiZn/NC, NiCoZn/NC, as well as CoZn/NC. It is noteworthy that the produced Co/NC shows optimum hydrogen evolution reaction activity along with superior overpotential of 97 mV and the minimum Tafel slope of 60 mV/dec at 10 mA cm. In addition, the superb behavior of hydrogen evolution reaction can be attributable to the numerous active sites, the superior electrical conductivity of carbon, and the firm structure. As a result, the present paper suggests a novel strategy in order to produce nonprecious materials characterized by superb HER efficiency for future scholars.

Abstract
To meet the increasing demands of energy consumption, sustainable energy sources such as solar energy should be better employed to promote electrochemical energy storage. Herein, we fabricated a bifunctional photoelectrode composed of copper foam (CF)-supported zinc-nickel-copper ternary oxides in nanoarrays (CF@ZnCuNiOx NAs) to promote photo-enhanced pseudocapacitive charge storage. The as-fabricated CF@ZnCuNiOx NAs have shown both photosensitive and pseudocapacitive characteristics, demonstrating a synergistic effect on efficient solar energy harvest and conversion. As a result, a high areal specific capacitance of 2741 mF cm−2 (namely 418 μAh cm−2) under light illumination can be calculated at 5 mA cm−2, which delivered photo-enhancement of 38.3% compared to that obtained without light. In addition, the photoelectric and photothermal effects of the light energy on pseudocapacitive charge storage have been preliminarily studied and compared. This work may provide some evidence on the different mechanisms of photoelectric/thermal conversion for developing solar-driven energy storage devices.

Abstract
Electrochemical energy storage has been regarded as one of the most promising strategies for next-generation energy consumption. To meet the increasing demands of urban electric vehicles, development of green and efficient charging technologies by exploitation of solar energy should be considered for outdoor charging in the future. Herein, a light-sensitive material (copper foam-supported copper oxide/nickel copper oxides nanosheets arrays, namely CF@CuOx @NiCuOx NAs) with hierarchical nanostructures to promote electrochemical charge storage is specifically fabricated. The as-fabricated NAs have demonstrated a high areal specific capacity of 1.452 C cm-2 under light irradiation with a light power of 1.76 W, which is 44.8% higher than the capacity obtained without light. Such areal specific capacity (1.452 C cm-2 ) is much higher than that of the conventional supercapacitor structure using a similar active redox component reported recently (NiO nanosheets array@Co3 O4 -NiO FTNs: maximum areal capacity of 623.5 mF cm-2 at 2 mA cm-2 ). This photo-enhancement for charge storage can be attributed to the combination of photo-sensitive Cu2 O and pseudo-active NiO components. Hence, this work may provide new possibilities for direct utilization of sustainable solar energy to realize enhanced capability for energy storage devices.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting has attracted significant attention as a key pathway for the development of renewable energy systems. Fabricating efficient electrocatalysts for these processes is intensely desired to reduce their overpotentials and facilitate practical applications. Recently, metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoarchitectures featuring ultrahigh surface areas, tunable nanostructures, and excellent porosities have emerged as promising materials for the development of highly active catalysts for electrochemical water splitting. Herein, the most pivotal advances in recent research on engineering MOF nanoarchitectures for efficient electrochemical water splitting are presented. First, the design of catalytic centers for MOF-based/derived electrocatalysts is summarized and compared from the aspects of chemical composition optimization and structural functionalization at the atomic and molecular levels. Subsequently, the fast-growing breakthroughs in catalytic activities, identification of highly active sites, and fundamental mechanisms are thoroughly discussed. Finally, a comprehensive commentary on the current primary challenges and future perspectives in water splitting and its commercialization for hydrogen production is provided. Hereby, new insights into the synthetic principles and electrocatalysis for designing MOF nanoarchitectures for the practical utilization of water splitting are offered, thus further promoting their future prosperity for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
The cruciform linker molecule here features two designer functions: the pyrazole donors for framework construction, and the vicinal alkynyl units for benzannulation to form nanographene units into the Ni8-pyrazolate scaffold. Unlike the full 12 connections of the Ni8(OH)4(H2O)2 clusters in other Ni8-pyrazolate networks, significant linker deficiency was observed here, leaving about half of the Ni(II) sites capped by acetate ligands, which can be potentially removed to open the metal sites for reactivity. The crystalline Ni8-pyrazolate scaffold also retains the crystalline order even after thermal treatments (up to 300 °C) that served to partially graphitize the neighboring alkyne units. The resultant nanographene components enhance the electroactive properties of the porous hosts, achieving hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity that rivals that of topical nickel/palladium-enabled materials.

Abstract
Exploring catalysts with low cost and excellent performance for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is still a significant challenge. In this work, zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8), hybridized with polyvinylpyrrolidone, was used to prepare Zn, Ni co-loaded N-doped porous carbon (ZnNi/NPC) via a straightforward absorption and pyrolysis process. The as-prepared ZnNi/NPC was used as a catalyst for the HER. This experiment showed that the porous structure and Ni doping have a significant influence on the HER activity of the catalyst. Compared with Zn/NC and Zn/NPC, ZnNi/NPC exhibits superior HER activity with an overpotential of 198 mV and a Tafel slope of 69.2 mV dec-1. ZnNi/NPC also shows excellent physical and chemical stability during the HER process. Considering the lower cost and excellent HER performance of ZnNi/NPC, this work provides an attractive solution to fabricate non-precious materials and offers a possible new strategy to replace Pt-based electrocatalysts for HER.

Abstract
Solvothermal method is a very common synthetic method in the preparation of catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of H2O decomposition. Since a certain surfactant can be added to the solvothermal solvent, the crystal particle growth process can be changed to obtain catalysts with different morphologies. We synthesized a series of nickel-manganese oxides (NiMnO) by adding different amounts of Polyethylene glycol (PEG) using the solvothermal method. Structure characterizations exhibit that NiMnO catalyst prepared with different PEG additions have different morphologies. The NiMnO catalyst prepared by adding 3 g of PEG possesses abundant petal-like scales, it brings a large specific surface area, high reaction efficiency, and has the best electrocatalytic activity in alkaline media.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures are commonly endowed with numerous active sites, large specific surface area, and good mechanical strength, which make them as an efficient candidate for energy storage and conversion. Herein, by considering the advantages of 3D nanostructures, we successfully fabricated carbon-coated nickel sulfide on a nickel foam (C@NS@NF) with a unique 3D treelike superstructure via a two-step hydrothermal process. By virtue of its hierarchical superstructures, 3D treelike architecture, and carbon shell encapsulation, the as-fabricated carbon-coated Ni3S2 can be directly served as binder-free bifunctional electrodes for supercapacitor and hydrogen evolution reaction, where high specific areal capacitance (6.086 F cm-2 at 10 mA cm-2) for supercapacitors and low overpotential (92 mV at 10 mA cm-2) for the electrocatalyst have been demonstrated. These inspiring results of this material make it as a potential candidate for energy storage and conversion.
