Abstract
Since photocatalytic and electrocatalytic technologies are crucial for tackling the energy and environmental challenges, significant efforts have been put into exploring advanced catalysts. Among them, perovskite type ABO3 oxides show great promising catalytic activities because of their flexible physical and chemical properties. In this review, the fundamentals and recent progress in the synthesis of perovskite type ABO3 oxides are considered. We describe the mechanisms for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reactions (OER), oxygen reduction reactions (ORR), hydrogen evolution reactions (HER), nitrogen reduction reactions (NRR), carbon dioxide reduction reactions (CO2RR), and metal-air batteries in details. Furthermore, the photocatalytic water splitting, CO2 conversion, pollutant degradation, and nitrogen fixation are reviewed as well. We also stress the applications of perovskite type ABO3 oxides in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFs). Finally, the optimization of perovskite type ABO3 oxides for applications in various fields and an outlook on the current and future challenges are depicted. The aim of this review is to present a broad overview of the recent advancements in the development of perovskite type ABO3 oxides-based catalysts and their applications in energy conversion and environmental remediation, as well as to present a roadmap for future development in these hot research areas.

Selective generation of hydroxyl and sulfate radicals under electric field regulation for micropollutants degradation: Mechanism and structure-activity relationship. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2025; 481:136513. [PMID: 39556908 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.136513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2024] [Revised: 11/02/2024] [Accepted: 11/13/2024] [Indexed: 11/20/2024]
Abstract
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation generates potent reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as sulfate radical (SO4·-) and hydroxyl radical (·OH), which play a key role in organic pollutant degradation. However, controlling the generation of these free radicals remains challenging. In this study, various metal (Co, Ni, and Cu)-doped nitrogen carbon compounds (NCs) were synthesized, and their performance in PMS activation under electric field regulation was explored to modulate ROS production for selective pollutant degradation. Bisphenol A (BPA), a readily degradable compound, and ibuprofen (IBU), a recalcitrant pollutant, were chosen as model pollutants to assess degradation efficiency. All catalysts achieved over 95 % BPA removal without the electric field, but the application of an electric field significantly accelerated BPA degradation, achieving complete removal within 3 min. In contrast, IBU degradation showed significant variation depending on the catalyst used and the electric field intensity, with Cu-NC demonstrating the highest performance, enhancing the degradation rate by 3.78-fold. Mechanistic studies revealed that the electric field altered the electron density on the catalyst surface, shifting ROS production from SO4·- to·OH in Co-NC systems. The findings could provide valuable insights into PMS activation under electric field regulation, offering a novel strategy for enhancing micropollutant removal through controlled ROS generation.

Abstract
Perovskite oxides exhibit bifunctional activity for both oxygen reduction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reactions (OER), making them prime candidates for energy conversion in applications like fuel cells and metal-air batteries. Their intrinsic catalytic prowess, combined with low-cost, abundance, and diversity, positions them as compelling alternatives to noble metal and metal oxides catalysts. This review encapsulates the nuances of perovskite oxide structures and synthesis techniques, providing insight into pivotal active sites that underscore their bifunctional behavior. The focus centers on the breakthroughs surrounding lanthanum (La) and strontium (Sr)-based perovskite oxides, specifically their roles in zinc-air batteries (ZABs). An introduction to the mechanisms of ORR and OER is provided. Moreover, the light is shed on strategies and determinants central to optimizing the bifunctional performance of La and Sr-based perovskite oxides.

Abstract
The cathode of a lithium-oxygen battery (LOB) should be well designed to deliver high catalytic activity and long stability, and to provide sufficient space for accommodating the discharge product. Herein, a facile coprecipitation approach is employed to synthesize LaNi0.5Co0.5O3 (LNCO) perovskite oxide with a low annealing temperature. The assembled LOB exhibits superior electrochemical performance with a low charge overpotential of 0.03-0.05 V in the current density range of 0.1-0.5 mA cm-2. The battery ran stably for 119 cycles at a high coulombic efficiency. The superior performance is ascribed to (i) the high catalytic activity of LNCO towards oxygen reduction/evolution reactions; (ii) the increased temperature enabling fast kinetics; and (iii) the LiNO3-KNO3 molten salt enhancing the stability of the LOB operating at high temperature.

Abstract
Producing oxygen and hydrogen via the electrolysis of water has the advantages of a simple operation, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness, making it the most promising hydrogen production method. In this study, La0.2Sr0.8Cu0.4Co0.6O3-δ (LSCC) nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning to utilize non-noble perovskite oxides instead of noble metal catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction, and the performance and electrochemical properties of LSCC nanofibers synthesized at different firing temperatures were evaluated. In an alkaline environment (pH = 14, 6 M KOH), the nanofibers calcined at 650 °C showed an overpotential of 209 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 as well as good long-term stability. Therefore, the prepared LSCC-650 NF catalyst shows excellent potential for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution.

Abstract
The Experimental Design was applied to optimize the electrocatalytic activity of La0.8Ba0.2CoO3 perovskite oxide/Active Carbon composite material in the alkaline solution for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction. After the preparation of La0.8Ba0.2CoO3, and structural characterizations, the experimental design was utilized to determine the optimal amount of the composite material and testing conditions. The overpotential was defined as the response variable, and the mass ratio of perovskite/active carbon, Potassium hydroxide (KOH) concentration, and Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) amount were considered effective parameters. The significance of model terms is demonstrated by P-values less than 0.0500. The proposed prediction model determined the optimal amounts of 0.665 mg of PVDF, a KOH concentration of 0.609 M, and A perovskite/Active Carbon mass ratio of 2.81 with 308.22 mV overpotential (2.27% greater than the actual overpotential). The stability test of the optimized electrode material over 24 h suggests that it could be a good candidate electrocatalyst for OER with reusability potential.

Abstract
In light of the depletion of conventional energy sources, it is imperative to conduct research and development on sustainable alternative energy sources. Currently, electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries rely heavily on precious metal catalysts like Pt/C and IrO2, which hinders their sustainable commercial development. Therefore, researchers have devoted significant attention to non-precious metal-based catalysts that exhibit high efficiency, low cost, and environmental friendliness. Among them, perovskite oxides possess low-cost and abundant reserves, as well as flexible oxidation valence states and a multi-defect surface. Due to their advantageous structural characteristics and easily adjustable physicochemical properties, extensive research has been conducted on perovskite-based oxides. However, these materials also exhibit drawbacks such as poor intrinsic activity, limited specific surface area, and relatively low apparent catalytic activity compared to precious metal catalysts. To address these limitations, current research is focused on enhancing the physicochemical properties of perovskite-based oxides. The catalytic activity and stability of perovskite-based oxides in Oxygen Reduction Reaction/Oxygen Evolution Reaction (ORR/OER) can be enhanced using crystallographic structure tuning, cationic regulation, anionic regulation, and nano-processing. Furthermore, extensive research has been conducted on the composite processing of perovskite oxides with other materials, which has demonstrated enhanced catalytic performance. Based on these different ORR/OER modification strategies, the future challenges of perovskite-based bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts are discussed alongside their development prospects.

Abstract
The electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are fundamental processes in a range of energy conversion devices such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries. ORR and OER both have significant activation barriers, which severely limit the overall performance of energy conversion devices that utilize ORR/OER. Meanwhile, ORR is another very important electrochemical reaction involving oxygen that has been widely investigated. ORR occurs in aqueous solutions via two pathways: the direct 4-electron reduction or 2-electron reduction pathways from O2 to water (H2O) or from O2 to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Noble metal electrocatalysts are often used to catalyze OER and ORR, despite the fact that noble metal electrocatalysts have certain intrinsic limitations, such as low storage. Thus, it is urgent to develop more active and stable low-cost electrocatalysts, especially for severe environments (e.g., acidic media). Theoretically, an ideal oxygen electrocatalyst should provide adequate binding to oxygen species. Transition metals not belonging to the platinum group metal-based oxides are a low-cost substance that could give a d orbital for oxygen species binding. As a result, transition metal oxides are regarded as a substitute for typical precious metal oxygen electrocatalysts. However, the development of oxide catalysts for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions still faces significant challenges, e.g., catalytic activity, stability, cost, and reaction mechanism. We discuss the fundamental principles underlying the design of oxide catalysts, including the influence of crystal structure, and electronic structure on their performance. We also discuss the challenges associated with developing oxide catalysts and the potential strategies to overcome these challenges.

Abstract
In this paper, Pr0.7Sr0.3Co1-xRuxO3 perovskite oxides were synthesized by the sol-gel method as bifunctional catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The overpotentials of PSCR0.05 against HER and OER at 10 mA cm-2 were 319 and 321 mV in alkaline medium, respectively. The Tafel slopes of HER and OER were 87.32 and 118.1 mV/dec, respectively. PSCR0.05 showed the largest electrochemical active area, the smallest charge transfer resistance, and excellent long-term durability. Meanwhile, the PSCR0.05 electrocatalyst was applied for overall water splitting and its cell voltage was maintained at 1.77 V at 10 mA cm-2. The super-exchange interaction between adjacent RuO6-CoO6 octahedra in perovskite made of PSCR0.05 contains sufficient active sites (such as Co2+/Co3+, Ru3+/Ru4+, and O22-/O-). The increase of surface oxygen vacancy and active site is the main reason for the improvement of difunctional catalyst performance. In this work, the electrocatalytic performance of perovskite-type oxides was further optimized by the method of A- and B-site cationic doping regulation, which provides a new idea for perovskite-type bifunctional electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Polymer-assisted deposition (PAD) has been widely used in the preparation of high-quality oxides and sulfides for basic research and applications. Specifically, diverse PAD-prepared magnetic material thin films such as ZnO, Ga2O3, SrRuO3, LaCoO3, LaMnO3, Y3Fe5O12, MoS2, MoSe2, and ReS2 thin films have been grown, in which thickness-dependent, strain-modulated, doping-mediated, and/or morphology-dependent room-temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) have been explored. Inspired by the discovery of intrinsic low-temperature FM in two-dimensional (2D) systems prepared using mechanical exfoliation, the search for more convenient methods to prepare 2D ferromagnetic materials with high-temperature FM has seen explosive growth, but with little success. Fortunately, the very recent synthesis of 2D NiO by PAD has shed light on this challenge. Based on these abovementioned developments, the difficulties of PAD when preparing a-few-nanometer single-crystalline materials and the opportunities in PAD for novel materials such as chiral magnetic soliton material Cr1/3NbS2 are discussed.

[PMID: 37373255 PMCID: PMC10299118 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241210107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
A high perovskite activity is sought for use in magnetic applications. In this paper, we present the simple synthesis of (2.5% and 5%) Tellurium-impregnated-LaCoO3 (Te-LCO), Te and LaCoO3 (LCO) by using a ball mill, chemical reduction, and hydrothermal synthesis, respectively. We also explored the structure stability along with the magnetic properties of Te-LCO. Te has a rhombohedral crystal structure, whereas Te-LCO has a hexagonal crystal system. The reconstructed Te was imbued with LCO that was produced by hydrothermal synthesis; as the concentration of the imbuing agent grew, the material became magnetically preferred. According to the X-ray photoelectron spectra, the oxidation state of the cobaltite is one that is magnetically advantageous. As a result of the fact that the creation of oxygen-deficient perovskites has been shown to influence the mixed (Te4+/2-) valence state of the incorporated samples, it is abundantly obvious that this process is of utmost significance. The TEM image confirms the inclusion of Te in LCO. The samples start out in a paramagnetic state (LCO), but when Te is added to the mixture, the magnetic state shifts to a weak ferromagnetic one. It is at this point that hysteresis occurs due to the presence of Te. Despite being doped with Mn in our prior study, rhombohedral LCO retains its paramagnetic characteristic at room temperature (RT). As a result, the purpose of this study was to determine the impacts of RT field dependency of magnetization (M-H) for Te-impregnated LCO in order to improve the magnetic properties of RT because it is a low-cost material for advanced multi-functional and energy applications.

Abstract
Developing activity descriptors via data-driven machine learning (ML) methods can speed up the design of highly active and low-cost electrocatalysts. Despite the fact that a large amount of activity data for electrocatalysts is stored in the literature, data from different publications are not comparable due to different experimental or computational conditions. In this work, an interpretable ML method, multi-task symbolic regression, was adopted to learn from data in multiple experiments. A universal activity descriptor to evaluate the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of oxide perovskites free of calculations or experiments was constructed and reached high accuracy and generalization ability. Utilizing this descriptor with Bayesian-optimized parameters, a series of compelling double perovskites with excellent OER activity were predicted and further evaluated using first-principles calculations. Finally, the two ML-predicted nickel-based perovskites with the best OER activity were successfully synthesized and characterized experimentally. This work opens a new way to extend machine-learning material design by utilizing multiple data sources.

Abstract
The development of efficient, non-noble metal electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial for their application in energy storage devices, such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries. In this study, SrTi0.3Fe0.6Ni0.1O3-δ (STFN) perovskite was synthesized using the sol-gel method, and its electrocatalytic activity was evaluated using a rotating disk electrode (RDE) in an alkaline medium. STFN synthesized at the optimum synthesis temperature of 800 °C exhibited good ORR and OER performances. To further improve electrocatalytic activity, a series of Sr1-x Ti0.3Fe0.6Ni0.1O3-δ (x = 0, 0.05, and 0.1) perovskites with A-site vacancies were synthesized at 800 °C. Material characterization results showed that the removal of the A-site from the perovskite led to an increase in surface oxygen vacancies, resulting in higher ORR and OER activities. The results of this study indicate that Sr1-x Ti0.3Fe0.6Ni0.1O3-δ (x = 0.1) is a promising bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst for Zn-air batteries.

Abstract
The efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst materials are crucial in the energy research domain due to their tunability. Structural modification in perovskites such as lanthanum cerates (LaCeO3) upon doping at A or B sites significantly affects the surface activity and enhances the catalysis efficacy. Herein, B-site nickel-doped lanthanum cerate (LaCe1-xNixO3±δ) nanopowders were applied as ORR indicators in high-temperature electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) tests and in cyclic voltammetric OER investigations in alkaline medium. The integration into SOFC applications, via solid-state EIS in a co-pressed three-layered cell with LCNiO as cathode, is investigated in an oxygen-methane environment and reveals augmented conductivity with temperatures of 700-850°C. The higher electrokinetic parameters-including diffusion coefficients, Do heterogeneous rate constant, ko, and peak current density for OER in KOH-methanol at a LCNiO-9-modified glassy carbon electrode-serve as robust gauges of catalytic performance. CV indicators and EIS conductivities of LaCe1-xNixO3±δ nanomaterials indicate promising potencies for electrocatalytic energy applications.

Abstract
Transition metal oxide-based materials are an interesting alternative to substitute noble-metal based catalyst in energy conversion devices designed for oxygen reduction (ORR), oxygen evolution (OER) and hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). Perovskite (ABO3) and spinel (AB2O4) oxides stand out against other structures due to the possibility of tailoring their chemical composition and, consequently, their properties. Particularly, the electrocatalytic performance of these materials depends on features such as chemical composition, crystal structure, nanostructure, cation substitution level, eg orbital filling or oxygen vacancies. However, they suffer from low electrical conductivity and surface area, which affects the catalytic response. To mitigate these drawbacks, they have been combined with carbon materials (e.g. carbon black, carbon nanotubes, activated carbon, and graphene) that positively influence the overall catalytic activity. This review provides an overview on tunable perovskites (mainly lanthanum-based) and spinels featuring 3d metal cations such as Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu on octahedral sites, which are known to be active for the electrochemical energy conversion.

Abstract
Efficient nonprecious bifunctional electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are essential for improving the electrochemical performance of Zinc-air (Zn-air) batteries. Herein, we report a cobalt-doped Mn2(OH)3VO3 catalyst prepared by facile hydrothermal method, and the ratios of cationic redox couples of catalysts were tuned with different Co doping amounts. The as-prepared Mn1.8Co0.2(OH)3VO3 (MnCoVO-1) catalyst achieves the highest ratio of (Mn3+Mn4+)/Mn2+ and Co3+/Co2+ redox couples which serve as ORR and OER active sites respectively, and exhibits the enhanced electrocatalytic performance. Furthermore, when employed as air-cathode catalyst for rechargeable Zn-air batteries, the MnCoVO-1 catalyst reveals a high power density (278 mW cm-2), enhanced rate performance and outstanding long-term stability of over 270 h. This work demonstrates the Co-doped Mn2(OH)3VO3 with optimized electronic structure by rational doping engineering can serve as a promising bifunctional catalyst for oxygen electrocatalysis and rechargeable Zn-air batteries.

Abstract
In this work, two different solvothermal synthesis routes were employed to prepare MOF-derived CuCoO2 (CCO) nanocrystals for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) application. The effects of the reductants (ethylene glycol, methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol), NaOH addition, the reactants, and the reaction temperature on the structure and morphology of the reaction product were investigated. In the first route, Cu-BTC derived CCO (CCO1) nanocrystals with a size of ∼214 nm and a specific surface area of 4.93 m2 g-1 were prepared by using Cu-BTC and Co(NO3)2·6H2O as the Cu and Co source, respectively. In the second route, ZIF-67 derived CCO (CCO2) nanocrystals with a size of ∼146 nm and a specific surface area of 11.69 m2 g-1 were prepared by using ZIF-67 and Cu(NO3)2·3H2O as the Co and Cu source, respectively. Moreover, the OER performances of Ni foam supported CCO1 (Ni@CCO1) and CCO2 (Ni@CCO2) electrodes were evaluated in 1.0 M KOH solution. Ni@CCO2 demonstrates a better OER catalytic performance with a lower overpotential of 394.5 mV at 10 mA cm-2, a smaller Tafel slope of 82.6 mV dec-1, and long-term durability, which are superior to those of some previously reported delafossite oxide or perovskite oxide catalysts. This work reveals the preparation method and application potential of CCO electrocatalysts by using Cu-BTC/ZIF-67 as the precursor, providing a new approach for the preparation of delafossite oxide CCO and the enhancement of their OER performances.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials with tunable porous morphology, controlled crystalline structure, various compositions, and high specific surface area are widely used as precursors to synthesize electrocatalysts for water splitting, which is beneficial for improving their oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Using ZIF-67 as a Co source and Cu-BTC as a Cu source, hexagonal MOF-derived CuCoO2 (MOF-CCO) nanocrystals with the size of ∼288 nm were prepared through a one-step solvothermal method. The influence of the content of the precursor solvents (absolute ethanol and deionized water), reaction temperature, mass ratio of reactants, NaOH addition, and reactant concentration of precursors on the structure and morphology of the products was investigated. The optimal CuCoO2 nanocrystals (MOF-CCO1) around 288 nm present the highest OER activity, such as a low overpotential of 364.7 mV at 10 mA cm-2, a small Tafel slope of 64.1 mV dec-1, and attractive durability in 1.0 M KOH solution. The XPS results showed that the higher catalytic efficiency of MOF-CCO1 nanocrystals could be due to the oxygen vacancies caused by lattice oxygen loss, the increase of OH- content on the surface, and the synergistic effect of Cu2+/Cu+ and Co2+/Co3+ redox pairs. Finally, a possible OER mechanism for MOF-CCO nanocrystals of water splitting was proposed. This study provides a new approach for the preparation of delafossite nanomaterials and for the improvement of their OER performances.

Abstract
Perovskite oxides are studied as electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reactions (OER) because of their low cost, tunable structure, high stability, and good catalytic activity. However, there are two main challenges for most perovskite oxides to be efficient in OER, namely less active sites and low electrical conductivity, leading to limited catalytic performance. To overcome these intrinsic obstacles, various strategies are developed to enhance their catalytic activities in OER. In this review, the recent developments of these strategies is comprehensively summarized and systematically discussed, including composition engineering, crystal facet control, morphology modulation, defect engineering, and hybridization. Finally, perspectives on the design of perovskite oxide-based electrocatalysts for practical applications in OER are given.

Abstract
Developing a non-precious metal electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is desirable for low-cost energy conversion devices. Herein, we designed and developed a new class of layered cation ordered single perovskite oxides (Pr0.9Ca0.1Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ) with an optimum ratio of the Co4+/Co3+ oxidation state and oxygen vacancy for oxygen electrode reactions. Catalytic activities are investigated as a function of electronic structure and surface composition. A moderate amount of Ca and Fe dopants keeps the B-site Co cations at a higher oxidation state (Co4+) and generates a vast amount of an oxygen defect rich structure. The improved performance in the ORR and OER is explained by the increase in the sites of Co4+ cations, a state responsible for enhanced catalytic activity. A hypothesis for how doped Ca fraction affects the adsorbed oxygen species and contributes to catalytic activity is discussed. This work sheds light on the influence of crystal structure on the catalytic property and reports that ORR and OER activities are affected not only by oxygen vacancy concentration but also by the oxidation state of the transition metal in the perovskite oxide.

Abstract
High efficient, low-cost and environmentally friendly-natured bi-functional-based perovskite electrode catalysts (BFPEC) are receiving increasing attention for oxygen reduction/oxygen evolution reaction (ORR/OER), playing an important role in the electrochemical energy conversion process using fuel cells and rechargeable batteries. Herein, we highlighted the different kinds of synthesis routes, morphological studies and electrode catalysts with A-site and B-site substitution co-substitution, generating oxygen vacancies studies for boosting ORR and OER activities. However, perovskite is a novel type of oxide family, which shows the state-of-art electrocatalytic performances in energy storage device applications. In this review article, we go through different types of BFPECs that have received massive appreciation and various strategies to promote their electrocatalytic activities (ORR/OER). Based on these various properties and their applications of BFPEC for ORR/OER, the general mechanism, catalytic performance and future outlook of these electrode catalysts have also been discussed.

Abstract
Transition-metal sulfide is pursued for replacing scare platinum-group metals for oxygen electrocatalysis and is of great importance in developing low-cost, high-performance rechargeable metal-air batteries. We report herein a facile cationic-doping strategy for preparing nickel-doped cobalt sulfide embedded into a mesopore-rich hydrangea-like carbon nanoflower. Nickel cations are introduced to induce the formation of Co3+-active species and more oxygen vacancies due to higher electronegativity and smaller ionic radius, thereby strengthening the intrinsic activity for oxygen electrocatalysis. Moreover, hydrangea-like superstructure composed of interconnected carbon cages provides abundant accessible active sites and hierarchical porosity. As a result, it shows excellent catalytic performance with a superior mass activity for the oxygen reduction reaction to the state-of-the-art Pt/C catalyst and a low overpotential of 314 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for the oxygen evolution reaction. When used as an air cathode for the rechargeable Zn-air battery, it delivers a peak power density of 96.3 mW cm-2 and stably operates over 214 h. This work highlights the importance of cationic doping in strengthening the electrocatalytic performance of 3d-transition-metal chalcogenides.

Abstract
The spin state of antibonding orbital (eg) occupancy in LaCoO3 is recognized as a descriptor for its oxygen electrocatalysis. However, the Co(III) cation in typical LaCoO3 (LCO) favors low spin state, which is mediocre for absorbing oxygen-containing groups involved in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), thus hindering its further development in electrocatalysis. Herein, both experimental and theoretical results reveal the enhancement of bifunctional electrocatalytic activity in LaCoO3 by N doping. More specifically, electron energy loss spectroscopy and superconducting quantum interference devices magnetic analysis demonstrate that the Co(III) cation in N-doped LaCoO3 (LCON) achieves a moderate eg occupancy (≈1) compared with its low spin state in LaCO3. First-principle calculation results reveal that N dopants play a bifunctional role of tuning the spin-state transition of Co(III) cations and increasing the electrical conductivity of LCO. Thus, the optimized LCON exhibits an OER overpotential of 1.69 V at the current density of 50 mA/cm2 (1.94 V for pristine LCO) and yields an ORR limiting current density of 5.78 mA/cm2 (4.01 mA/cm2 for pristine LCO), which offers a new strategy to simultaneously modulate the magnetic and electronic structures of LCO to further enhance its electrocatalytic activity.

Abstract
Developing robust and highly efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical for renewable, secure, and emission-free energy technologies. Perovskite Ba0.5 Sr0.5 Co0.8 Fe0.2 O3-δ (BSCF) has emerged as a promising OER electrocatalyst with desirable intrinsic activity. Inspired by the factor that substituting in transition-metal sublattice of the perovskite can further optimize the OER activity, herein, nickel-substituted BSCF is adopted, that is, Ba0.5 Sr0.5 Co0.8- x Fe0.2 Nix O3-δ (x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, denoted as BSCFNx, x = 5, 10, 20, respectively), as efficient and stable OER catalysts in alkaline solution. The phase structure, microchemistry, oxygen vacancy, and electrochemical activity of such samples are well-investigated. Endowed with an overpotential of only 278 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of merely 47.98 mV dec-1 , BSCFN20 exhibits the optimum OER activity. When constructing a two-electrode cell with BSCFN20 as anode and Pt/C as cathode (BSCFN20||Pt/C) for water splitting, it only requires a voltage of 1.63 V to achieve 50 mA cm-2 , and the BSCFN20||Pt/C remains stable within 80 h at 10 mA cm-2 , superior to the state-of-the-art RuO2 ||Pt/C counterpart. This work provides a feasible strategy for designing stable and highly active perovskite electrocatalysts for future energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
In the current paper, the main aim is to fabricate the BaMnO3 nanostructures via the sonochemical route. The various factor, including precursors, reaction time and power of sonication can affect the shape, size, and purity of the samples. We utilized X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) to characterize the BaMnO3 nanostructures. The optical property of BaMnO3 nanostructures was explored by Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and the energy gap was suitable for catalytic activity (about 2.75 eV). Changing the precursor can affect the size, nanoparticle shape, architectures, and uniformity of the samples. We employed the BaMnO3 nanostructures for O2 evolution reaction as catalysts. It can observe that increasing the homogeneity of the catalysts can increase the efficiency of the Oxygen evolution reaction. The maximum amount of the O2 evolution and the highest TOF and TON are related to nanoplate disc using barium salicylate as a precursor of barium. As a result, we can nominate the BaMnO3 nanostructures as an effective and novel catalyst for water-splitting reaction.

Abstract
Perovskites have become important OER electrocatalysts. Herein, as-prepared La0.8Sr0.2Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (LSCF-0) is chosen as a sample to exhibit the superimposed effect of surface reconstruction accompanied by reduction of Co3+ to Co2+ on the further improvement of its activity and stability. As-synthesized LSCF-0 perovskite is chemically treated by simply immersing in an aqueous solution of NaBH4 for 1.0 h at room temperature. The optimized LSCF (LSCF-2) owns an amorphous layer consisting of nanosized particles of ∼20 nm (vs smooth bulk crystalline surface for untreated LSCF), which exhibits superior OER performance to LSCF-0. LSCF-2 has an overpotential of 248 mV (10 mA cm-2) and a Tafel slope of 51 mV dec-1 (vs 355 mV and 76 mV dec-1 for LSCF-0 and 381 mV and 91 mV dec-1 for LCO) and an excellent cycle stability for 20 h running. This work supplies a new strategy to enhance OER performance through surface reconstruction of as-prepared perovskites.

Abstract
Implementing sustainable energy conversion and storage technologies is highly reliant on crucial oxygen electrocatalysis, such as the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the pursuit of low cost, energetic efficient and robust bifunctional catalysts for OER and ORR remains a great challenge. Herein, the novel Na-ion-deficient Na2-x CoP2 O7 catalysts are proposed to efficiently electrocatalyze OER and ORR in alkaline solution. The engineering of Na-ion deficiency can tune the electronic structure of Co, and thus tailor the intrinsically electrocatalytic performance. Among the sodium cobalt phosphate catalysts, the Na1.95 CoP2 O7 (NCPO5) catalyst exhibits the lowest ΔE (EJ10,OER -EJ-1,ORR ) of only 0.86 V, which favorably outperforms most of the reported non-noble metal catalysts. Moreover, the Na-ion deficiency can stabilize the phase structure and morphology of NCPO5 during the OER and ORR processes. This study highlights the Na-ion deficient Na2-x CoP2 O7 as a promising class of low-cost, highly active and robust bifunctional catalysts for OER and ORR.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution are two key processes that limit the efficiency of important energy conversion devices such as metal–air battery and electrolysis. Perovskite oxides are receiving discernable attention as potential bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts to replace precious metals because of their low cost, good activity, and versatility. In this review, we provide a brief summary on the fundamentals of perovskite oxygen electrocatalysts and a detailed discussion on emerging high-performance oxygen electrocatalysts based on perovskite, which include perovskite with a controlled composition, perovskite with high surface area, and perovskite composites. Challenges and outlooks in the further development of perovskite oxygen electrocatalysts are also presented.

Abstract
In this study, a series of perovskite oxides LaCo1−xPtxO3−δ (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, and 0.08) were prepared by the citric acid–ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (CA–EDTA) complexing sol–gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Then, the samples were investigated as OER and HER bifunctional electrocatalysts in alkaline media. Compared with other catalysts, LaCo0.94Pt0.06O3−δ had good stability and presented more activity at a lower overpotential of 454 mV (at 10 mA cm−2), a lower Tafel slope value of 86 mV dec−1 and a higher mass activity of 44.4 A g−1 for OER; it displayed a lower overpotential of 294 mV (at −10 mA cm−2), a lower Tafel slope value of 148 mV dec−1 and a higher mass activity of −34.5 A g−1 for HER. The improved performance might depend on a larger ECSA, faster charge transfer rate and higher ratio of the highly oxidative oxygen species (O22−/O−). Furthermore, the eg orbital filling of Co approaching 1.2 in the B site might play a leading role. Among the perovskite LaCo1−xPtxO3−δ catalysts, LaCo0.94Pt0.06O3−δ proved best for catalyzing OER/HER, with η = 454/294 mV, which might be attributed to LCP6 having the eg orbital filling of Co closest to 1.2.![]()
