Abstract
Designing a highly coupled interfacial-engineered transition metal sulfide electrocatalyst with rich interfaces is crucial for accelerating the catalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which involves several intermediates. This study presents a novel polyoxometalate-based metal-organic framework (POM-MOF)-derived Fe- and Mo-codoped NiS/Ni9S8 heterostructure supported on a nickel foam (NF) (denoted as Fe,Mo-NiS/Ni9S8/NF). The newly prepared Fe,Mo-NiS/Ni9S8/NF catalyst possesses rich interfaces of NiS and Ni9S8 with uniformly doped Fe and Mo atoms. The optimized Fe,Mo-NiS/Ni9S8/NF catalyst demonstrated best OER performance with ultralow overpotentials of 47 and 56 mV at 10 mA·cm-2 for alkaline and simulated seawater, respectively. This resulting performance is attributed to its low interfacial resistance, fully exposed active sites, superhydrophilic properties, and excellent electronic interactions. Furthermore, Fe,Mo-NiS/Ni9S8/NF exhibited strong durability under both alkaline and simulated seawater conditions for 100 h, fulfilling the requirements of an effective water oxidation electrocatalyst. This study focused on the design and optimization of POM-MOF sulfide derivatives for electrocatalytic OER, offering broadened avenues for the application of POM-MOF-derived heterostructures in renewable energy conversion and storage.

Abstract
Water electrolysis is a promising method for efficiently producing hydrogen and oxygen, crucial for renewable energy conversion and fuel cell technologies. The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are two key electrocatalytic reactions occurring during water splitting, necessitating the development of active, stable, and low-cost electrocatalysts. Transition metal (TM)-based electrocatalysts, spanning noble metals and TM oxides, phosphides, nitrides, carbides, borides, chalcogenides, and dichalcogenides, have garnered significant attention due to their outstanding characteristics, including high electronic conductivity, tunable valence electron configuration, high stability, and cost-effectiveness. This timely review discusses developments in TM-based electrocatalysts for the HER and OER in alkaline media in the last 10 years, revealing that the exposure of more accessible surface-active sites, specific electronic effects, and string effects are essential for the development of efficient electrocatalysts towards electrochemical water splitting application. This comprehensive review serves as a guide for designing and constructing state-of-the-art, high-performance bifunctional electrocatalysts based on TMs, particularly for applications in water splitting.

Abstract
Hydrogen production from water splitting combined with renewable electricity can provide a viable solution to the energy crisis. A novel MoS2/NiS2/Ni3S4 heterostructure is designed as a bifunctional electrocatalyst by facile hydrothermal method to demonstrate excellent electrocatalytic performance towards overall water splitting applications. MoS2/NiS2/Ni3S4 heterostructure necessitates a low overpotential of 81 mV and 210 mV to attain a current density of 10 mA cm-2 during the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), respectively. Consequently, the MoS2/NiS2/Ni3S4 heterostructure-based electrolyzer shows a low cell voltage of 1.54 V at 10 mA cm-2. The present work highlights the significance of the heterostructure configuration of transition metal sulfide-based electrocatalysts for electrochemical overall water splitting applications.

Abstract
The shortage of freshwater resources in the world today has limited the development of water splitting, and our eyes have turned to the abundant seawater. The development of relatively low-toxicity and high-efficiency catalysts is the most important area in seawater electrolysis. In this paper, the preparation of NiS2@Co4S3@FeS via a hydrothermal method on nickel foam has been studied for the first time. In the process of vulcanization, Fe will first generate FeS by virtue of its high affinity for vulcanization. Once Fe is vulcanized, the residual sulfur will be used to generate NiS2, while the vulcanization of Co requires a higher sulfur concentration and reaction temperature; thus, Co4S3 will be generated last. NiS2@Co4S3@FeS is confirmed to have excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalytic properties in alkaline seawater. Its unique structure allows it to expose more reaction centres, and the synergies between the multiple metals optimize the charge distribution of the material and accelerate the OER and HER kinetics. NiS2@Co4S3@FeS requires overpotentials of only 122 mV and 68 mV for the OER and HER when reaching 10 mA cm-2, which is superior to most catalysts reported to date for seawater electrolysis, and the material displays acceptable stability. In an electrolytic cell composed of both positive and negative electrodes, when the current density is 10 mA cm-2, the NiS2@Co4S3@FeS material displays a low overpotential of only 357 mV for seawater splitting. Density functional theory shows that the FeS electrode has the optimum Gibbs free energy of H to accelerate reaction kinetics, and the synergistic catalysis of the NiS2, Co4S3 and FeS materials promotes the hydrogen production activity of the NiS2@Co4S3@FeS electrode. This work proposes a novel idea for designing environmentally friendly seawater splitting catalysts.

Abstract
Transition metal sulphide electrocatalytic materials possess the bright overall water-splitting performance of practical electrocatalytic technologies. In this study, an amethyst-like MoS2@Ni9S8/Co3S4 rod electrocatalyst was constructed via a one-step hydrothermal method with in-situ-grown ZIF-67 nanoparticles on nickel foam (NF) as a precursor. The rational design and synthesis of MoS2@Ni9S8/Co3S4 endow the catalyst with neat nanorods morphology and high conductivity. The MoS2@Ni9S8/Co3S4/NF with the amethyst-like rod structure exposes abundant active sites and displays fast electron-transfer capability. The resultant MoS2@Ni9S8/Co3S4/NF exhibits outstanding hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalytic activities, with low overpotentials of 81.24 mV (HER) at 10 mA cm-2 and 159.67 mV (OER) at 50 mA cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH solution. The full-cell voltage of overall water splitting only achieves 1.45 V at 10 mA cm-2. The successful preparation of the amethyst-like MoS2@Ni9S8/Co3S4 rod electrocatalyst provides a reliable reference for obtaining efficient electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.

Abstract
Multiple surface/interface engineering is an effective approach to develop efficient electrocatalysts for promoting the practical application of electrocatalysis and achieving carbon neutrality. Herein, a deep eutectic liquid precursor containing phosphorus was designed. The self-supported three-dimensional (3D) cobalt-doped Ni12P5/Ni3P nanowire networks coated with a thin layer of carbon (Co-NixP@C) were prepared by using an in-situ one-step pyrolysis method. The as-obtained Co-NixP@C hybrid possesses a superaerophobic/superhydrophilic surface, which could promote electrolyte diffusion and enhance bubble release. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that Co-doping in NixP@C can promote the adsorption and activation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) molecules, and optimize the energy barrier of H* absorption. The self-supported Co-NixP@C was used as an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for HMF oxidation coupled with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in a 1.0 M KOH solution. A nearly 100 % yield of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) was achieved. The self-supported Co-NixP@C displayed high activity and stability for both HER and HMF conversion. The HMF oxidation coupled with HER can be efficiently driven by a 1.5 V commercial photovoltaic panel under sunlight. This study lays the foundation for large-scale industrialization in sustainable fine-chemical and energy engineering.

Abstract
The Earth's fossil resources will be exhausted soon, so it is urgent to find clean and efficient new energy for replacing fossil resources. Hydrogen energy is gradually attracting the attention of the public and electrolysis of water is considered to be one of the important means of hydrogen production because of its simplicity and convenience. In this paper, a hydrothermal method for the synthesis of a Co and Mn co-doped bimetallic sulfide Fe9S11@Ni9S8 electrocatalyst is proposed for the first time. The prepared Co-Mn-Fe9S11@Ni9S8/NF electrocatalyst exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and urea oxidation reaction (UOR). It can provide a current density of 10 mA cm-2 with only 193 mV overpotential for the OER and a current density of 10 mA cm-2 with only 1.33 V potential for the UOR, which are far superior to those of most reported electrocatalysts. What is noteworthy is that the unique nanoflower structure of Co-Mn-Fe9S11@Ni9S8/NF increases the specific surface area of the material and the introduction of Co and Mn ions promotes the formation of high valence state Ni and Fe and enhances the charge transfer rate. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation shows that the in situ generated Co-Mn-Fe-NiOOH material derived from Co-Mn-Fe9S11@Ni9S8 exhibits the best water adsorption energy and the best electrical conductivity, thus improving the catalytic performance of the material. This work provided a new idea for the development of bimetallic cation doped electrocatalysts with high efficiency and low cost.

With the demand for efficient hydrogen/oxygen evolution reaction (HER/OER) bifunctional electrocatalysts, defect-rich two-dimensional (2D) heterostructured materials attract increasing attention due to abundant active sites and facile mass/charge transfer. However, precise manipulation of lattice defects in a 2D heterostructured material is still a challenge. Herein, through pyrolytic sulfurization of a layered Fe-doped Ni/Mo MOF precursor, a series of defect-rich Fe-doped NiS/MoS2 ultrathin nanosheets were obtained. For 0.1Fe-NiS/MoS2, abundant lattice defects induced by Fe atoms provide more water adsorption sites, and intimate interface between NiS and MoS2 can optimize the adsorption energy of a HER/OER intermediate. As a result, both HER and OER activities are significantly enhanced. The respective overpotential is 120 mV and 297 mV for the HER and OER. Small Tafel slopes of 69.0 mV dec-1 and 54.7 mV dec-1 indicate favorable electrochemical reaction kinetics. The catalytic performance of this material can be compared with those of 20% Pt/C and RuO2 catalysts and top-rated MoS2-based materials. For overall water splitting, only 1.66 V voltage is required to deliver 10 mA cm-2. Long-term stability of 0.1Fe-NiS/MoS2 presents a prospect for its practical application.

Abstract
Innovative breakthroughs regarding self-supported open and porous electrodes that can promote gas-liquid transmission and regulate the water dissociation kinetics are critical for sustainable hydrogen economy. Herein, a free-standing porous electrode with Pd-NiS nanoparticles assembled in a multichannel carbonized wood framework (Pd-NiS/CW) was ingeniously constructed. Specifically, carbonized wood (CW) with a mass of open microchannels and high electrical conductivity can significantly facilitate electrolyte permeation ("inhalation"), hydrogen evolution ("exhalation"), and electron transfer. As expected, the fabricated "breathable" wooden electrode exhibits remarkable hydrogen evolution activity in 1.0 M KOH, only requiring a low overpotential of 80 mV to sustain a current density of 10 mA cm-2, and can maintain this current density for 100 h. Further, the spectroscopic characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations manifest that the electron interaction between Pd and NiS is beneficial to reduce the water dissociation energy barriers, optimize the adsorption/desorption of H, and ultimately accelerate the catalytic activity. The work reported here will provide a potential approach for the design of electrocatalysts combined with natural multichannel wood to achieve the goal of high electrocatalytic activity and superior durability for hydrogen production.

Abstract
Herein, cactus like nanorods with rich S defects and functional group MILN-based Co(z)-NiMoS are synthesized through a facile method. First, we prepared MIL-88B precursor to give a fairly dispersed frame structure, and then Con+ was doped into disulfides, which are rich in sulfur bonds, and the imidazole group was cleverly connected into graphitized carbon via self-etching of ZIF-67. The doping of Con+ and functional groups makes tiny changes in the sulfide lattice, which promotes the unsaturation degree of the S bond and activates it gradually. The prepared semi frame sulfide with a unique structure, on the one hand, ensures the hydrophilicity and multiple active specific surface area, which lays superior functions in morphology. On the other hand, coupling metals that have strong valence change ability and functional groups by active S bonds play an important role in the process of electrocatalytic reaction. Amazingly, disintegration and self-reconstruction of MILN-based Co(z)-NiMoS occurs during oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to the activation of the S bond, which provides a new perspective for the overall water splitting mechanism. The electrochemical results show that the MILN-based Co(z)-NiMoS electrocatalyst exhibits overpotentials of HER, OER, and overall water splitting (OWS) to be 169 mV, 170 mV, and 1.466 V, respectively, making it a promising electrode material for OWS applications.

Abstract
The property of an active material is not only influenced by its morphology and size, but also by its crystal phase. The present phase regulation of nickel sulfide is mainly achieved by controlling the participation of sulfur source in reaction. Thus, new perspectives direct at phase control need to be explored and supplemented. Herein, we proposed a novel coordination agent-dominated phase modulation strategy assisted by a hydrothermal process. It is found that increasing the amount of coordination agent can drove the phase transformation from the initial composite of β-NiS/α-NiS/Ni3S4 to β-NiS/α-NiS, and then to pure β-NiS. The mechanism of phase regulation has been proposed, and the general application of this method has been demonstrated. By employing coordination agent, the size of resulted products is reduced, and the morphology is optimized. As a result, all of the pure β-NiS electrodes indicate significantly enhanced specific capacity than the pristine β-NiS/α-NiS/Ni3S4 composite. Notably, the sample synthesized with 3 mmol of urea (S11) shows uniform morphology and smallest size, and it gives a highest specific capacity of 223.8 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1, almost 1.5 times of the original sample. The fabricated S11//rGO device delivers a high energy density of 56.6 Wh·kg-1 at a power density of 407.5 W·kg-1, and keeps an impressive capacity retention of 84% after 20,000 cycles. This work put forwards a new prospect for controlling the phase and composition of nickel sulfide based on coordination chemistry.

Abstract
Sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2) is one of the ideal decomposition components of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), which is widely used as an insulating and arc extinguishing medium in gas-insulated switchgear. To detect the decomposition component of SF6at room temperature, the use of SO2F2is still a challenge. In this work, we have successfully fabricated TiO2nanofibers and nickel sulfate (NiSO4NPs) via simple electrospun and hydrothermal methods, followed by calcination process to improve the sensing performance. Metal oxide semiconductor materials (MOSs) are widely used in gas sensing applications due to their superior performance and fast recovery speed. Although the performance of our TiO2/NiSO4composite nanofiber sensor decreases at higher temperatures, it shows an excellent response to target gasses at room temperature. Ni-decoration on the outer surface of the nanofibers could maximize the sensing response of 100 ppm SO2F2by up to 189% at room temperature, showing that the TiO2/NiSO4composite nanofibers are 2.5 times superior to the pure TiO2nanofiber sensors. Thus, the approach for this novel composite nanofiber-based material is promising for the fabrication of superior gas sensors for decomposition of SF6.
