Abstract
With the continuous growth of global energy demand, designing efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts has become increasingly important. However, current interface structure synthesis strategies for platinum-based compounds are not yet adequate, limiting their application efficiency in hydrogen production. Therefore, this paper reviews a series of interface construction strategies, including the solvothermal method, gas-phase chemical method, heat treatment method, reduction method, electromagnetic synthesis method, electrochemical method, constructing heterojunctions method and constructing substrates method. These methods significantly enhance the overall performance of platinum-based catalysts by optimizing the interactions between the catalyst and support materials, improving electron transfer efficiency, and increasing the exposed area of active sites. Additionally, this paper introduces various interface structure strategies that can increase HER active sites, such as single-atom catalysts, diatomic catalysts, nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, and porous structures. These nanostructures further enhance catalytic activity and stability by increasing the specific surface area and providing abundant reaction sites. Furthermore, this paper thoroughly elucidates the mechanisms of the HER in acidic and alkaline media, exploring the key factors for optimizing catalyst performance under different pH conditions. By understanding the HER mechanisms and combining advanced interface construction strategies with diverse nanostructure designs, researchers can better construct interfaces and design nanostructures, thereby developing platinum-based catalysts that are efficient, stable, and economical. This review provides a systematic guide for constructing interface structures of platinum compounds, aiming to promote the sustainable development of hydrogen energy technologies, facilitate their widespread application in the global energy transition, and contribute to achieving carbon neutrality goals and addressing increasingly severe environmental challenges.

Abstract
Clean energy production and CO2 utilization have attracted increasing interest. Electrocatalysis represents an effective way to produce green hydrogen from water and reduce CO2 to valuable compounds. However, for either the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) or the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), the reaction efficiency is significantly limited by the slow kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode, which consumes most of the input energy. Therefore, great efforts have been made to replace the OER with organic oxidation reactions at the anode to decrease the reaction energy barrier. Biomass has an advantage of broad source, and when it is employed as an OER alternative in the anode oxidation reactions, not only can the reduction reaction efficiency at the cathode including the HER and CO2RR be enhanced but high-value chemicals can also be obtained, representing an attractive OER alternative. This review comprehensively summarizes the recent achievements in electrocatalytic biomass upgrading coupled with the HER and CO2RR, cataloged based on the type of biomass. The design of electrocatalysts for such coupled reaction systems is discussed. Finally, the challenges and perspectives in the field of this energy-saving and value-added coupling system are provided to inspire more efforts in pushing forward the development of this field.

Abstract
Herein, we grew in situ Co-incorporated NiOSO4-NiMoO4 heterostructures on nickel foam (Co-NiSMoO/NF). The introduction of S2- and MoO42- into CoNi-ZIF precursor leads to the compositional and electronic reconstruction, resulting in the Co-NiSMoO/NF nanostructures. The attractive features in the morphology, composition, and electronic structure cooperatively endow them with high electrocatalytic performances. As a result, the Co-NiSMoO/NF nanostructures exhibit superior electrocatalytic performances to oxygen evolution, urea oxidation, and thus overall water/urea splitting reactions (OER/UOR/OWS/OUS). Specifically, the Co-NiSMoO/NF shows a high electrocatalytic OER activity, with low overpotentials of 172 mV@10 mA cm-2, 238 mV@20 mA cm-2, 278 mV@50 mA cm-2, 308 mV@100 mA cm-2 in alkaline. For UOR, the overpotential is just as low as 1.318 V@10 mA cm-2, 1.330 V@20 mA cm-2, 1.346 V@50 mA cm-2, and 1.401 V@100 mA cm-2. Especially, the voltage of the record cell even drops to 1.446 V@10 mA cm-2 to OUS. Furthermore, the Co-NiSMoO/NF electrocatalysts still stable to OER, UOR, and OUS even for up to 100 h. More importantly, we also realized H2 production in a green manner driven by solar. Under solar illumination on a solar panel, H2 production speed is even as high as 408 L h-1 m-2.

Effective Nitrate Electroconversion to Ammonia Using an Entangled Co 3O 4/Graphene Nanoribbon Catalyst. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2025; 17:1295-1310. [PMID: 39729587 PMCID: PMC11783537 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.4c18269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2024] [Revised: 12/07/2024] [Accepted: 12/16/2024] [Indexed: 12/29/2024]
Abstract
There has been huge interest among chemical scientists in the electrochemical reduction of nitrate (NO3-) to ammonia (NH4+) due to the useful application of NH4+ in nitrogen fertilizers and fuel. To conduct such a complex reduction reaction, which involves eight electrons and eight protons, one needs to develop high-performance (and stable) electrocatalysts that favor the formation of reaction intermediates that are selective toward ammonia production. In the present study, we developed and applied Co3O4/graphene nanoribbon (GNR) electrocatalysts with excellent properties for the effective reduction of NO3- to NH4+, where NH4+ yield rate of 42.11 mg h-1 mgcat-1, FE of 98.7%, NO3- conversion efficiency of 14.71%, and NH4+ selectivity of 100% were obtained, with the application of only 37.5 μg cm-2 of the catalysts (for the best catalyst ─Co3O4(Cowt %55)GNR, only 20.6 μg cm-2 of Co was applied), confirmed by loadings ranging from 19-150 μg cm-2. The highly satisfactory results obtained from the application of the proposed catalysts were favored by high average values of electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) and low Rct values, along with the presence of several planes in Co3O4 entangled with GNR and the occurrence of a kind of "(Co3(Co(CN)6)2(H2O)12)1.333 complex" structure on the catalyst surface, in addition to the effective migration of NO3- from the cell cathodic branch to the anodic branch, which was confirmed by the experiment conducted using a H-cell separated by a Nafion 117 membrane. The in situ FTIR and Raman spectroscopy results helped identify the adsorbed intermediates, namely, NO3-, NO2-, NO, and NH2OH, and the final product NH4+, which are compatible with the proposed NO3- electroreduction mechanism. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations helped confirm that the Co3O4(Cowt %55)GNR catalyst exhibited a better performance in terms of nitrate electroreduction in comparison with Co3O4(Cowt %75), considering the intermediates identified by the in situ FTIR and Raman spectroscopy results and the rate-determining step (RDS) observed for the transition of *NO to *NHO (0.43 eV).

Abstract
In green hydrogen production via water electrolysis, catalysts with multiscale nanostructures synthesized by compositing micro-heterojunctions and nanoporous structures exhibit excellent electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Moreover, they are the most promising non-noble metal catalysts. Herein, FeNi-based aerogels with a three-dimensional nanoporous structure and amorphous matrix embedded with FeNi3 nanoclusters were synthesized via wet chemical reduction coprecipitation. The FeNi3 nanoclusters and the FeNi-based amorphous matrix formed a crystalline-amorphous heterojunction. These aerogels exhibited excellent OER performance and electrocatalytic stability in alkaline electrolytes. In 1 mol/L of KOH electrolyte, the as-synthesized aerogel exhibited an overpotential of 262 mV at a current density of 20 mA cm-2 with a Tafel slope of only 46 mV dec-1. It also demonstrated excellent stability during a 12 h chronopotentiometry test.

Abstract
This review covers recent progress on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) as bifunctional electrocatalysts for Zinc-air batteries (ZABs), emphasizing their suitable surface area, electrocatalytic active sites, stability in acidic/basic environments, and tunable electronic properties. It discusses strategies like defect engineering, doping, interface, and structural modifications of TMDs nanostructures for enhancing the performances of ZABs. Zinc-air batteries are promising energy storage devices owing to their high energy density, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, the development of durable and efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts is a major concern for Zn-air batteries. In this review, we summarize the recent progress on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) as bifunctional electrocatalysts for Zn-air batteries. We discuss the advantages of TMDs, such as high activity, good stability, and tunable electronic structure, as well as the challenges, such as low conductivity, poor durability, and limited active sites. We also highlight the strategies for fine-tuning the properties of TMDs, such as defect engineering, doping, hybridization, and structural engineering, to enhance their catalytic performance and stability. We provide a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the applications of TMDs in Zn-air batteries, demonstrating their potential as low-cost, abundant, and environmentally friendly alternatives to noble metal catalysts. We also suggest future directions like exploring new TMDs materials and compositions, developing novel synthesis and modification techniques, investigating the interfacial interactions and charge transfer processes, and integrating TMDs with other functional materials. This review aims to illuminate the path forward for the development of efficient and durable Zn-air batteries, aligning with the broader objectives of sustainable energy solutions.

Abstract
Rational modulation of surface reconstruction in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) utilizing defect engineering to form efficient catalytic activity centers is a topical interest in the field of catalysis. The introduction of point defects has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy to regulate the electronic configuration of electrocatalysts, but the influence of more complex planar defects (e.g., twins and stacking faults), on their intrinsic activity is still not fully understood. This study harnesses ultrasonic cavitation for rapid and controlled introduction of different types of defects in the FeCoNi/FeAl2O4 hybrid coating, optimizing OER catalytic activity. Theoretical calculations and experiments demonstrate that the different defects optimize the coordination environment and facilitate the activation of surface reconstruction into true catalytic activity centers at lower potentials. Moreover, it demonstrates exceptional durability, maintaining stable oxygen production at a high current density of 300 mA cm-2 for over 120 hours. This work not only presents a novel pathway for designing advanced electrocatalysts but also deepens our understanding of defect-engineered catalytic mechanisms, showcasing the potential for rapid and efficient enhancement of electrocatalytic performance.

Abstract
In this study, we created a series of N, S, and P-doped and co-doped carbon catalysts using a single graphene nanoribbon (GNR) matrix and thoroughly evaluated the impact of doping on ORR activity and selectivity in acidic, neutral, and alkaline conditions. The results obtained showed no significant changes in the GNR structure after the doping process, though changes were observed in the surface chemistry in view of the heteroatom insertion and oxygen depletion. Of all the dopants investigated, nitrogen (mainly in the form of pyrrolic-N and graphitic-N) was the most easily inserted and detected in the carbon matrix. The electrochemical analyses conducted showed that doping impacted the performance of the catalyst in ORR through changes in the chemical composition of the catalyst, as well as in the double-layer capacitance and electrochemically accessible surface area. In terms of selectivity, GNR doped with phosphorus and sulfur favored the 2e- ORR pathway, while nitrogen favored the 4e- ORR pathway. These findings can provide useful insights into the design of more efficient and versatile catalytic materials for ORR in different electrolyte solutions, based on functionalized carbon.

Abstract
Proton exchange membrane water splitting (PEMWS) technology has high-level current density, high operating pressure, small electrolyzer-size, integrity, flexibility, and has good adaptability to the volatility of wind power and photovoltaics, but the development of both active and high stability of the anode electrocatalyst in acidic environment is still a huge challenge, which seriously hinders the promotion and application of PEMWS. In recent years, researchers have made tremendous attempts in the development of high-quality active anode electrocatalyst, and we summarize some of the research progress made by our group in the design and synthesis of PEMWS anode electrocatalysts with different nanostructures, and makes full use of electrocatalytic activity points to increase the inherent activity of Iridium (Ir) sites, and provides optimization strategies for the long-term non-decay of catalysts under high anode potential in acidic environments. At this stage, these research advances are expected to facilitate the research and technological progress of PEMWS, and providing some research ideas and references for future research on efficient and inexpensive PEMWS anode electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Co3O4-MoSe2@C nanocomposite has been prepared by a convenient method via combining hydrothermally synthesized MoSe2@C and Co3O4. When catalyzing the hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction, the catalyst features low overpotentials of 144 mV and 360 mV (both at 10 mA cm-2current density), respectively. It can also serve as the cathode in the lithium-oxygen battery and the device shows a low charging-discharging overpotential of 1.50 V with a stable performance of over 200 cycles at current density of 1000 mA g-1, shedding light on the design and synthesis of novel multifunctional electrocatalysts for energy conversions.

Abstract
Research shows that redox complementarity and synergism among the ingredients of heterogeneous catalysts can enhance the performance of the catalyst. In this research, a porous CuMoO4@Co3O4 nanosheet electrocatalyst is prepared, which is uniformly decorated on nickel foam (NF) by hydrothermal reactions and the impregnation method. The CuMoO4@Co3O4 is an efficient bifunctional catalyst with prominent electrocatalytic activity and durability. It requires overpotentials of only 54 and 251 mV to obtain current densities of 10 and 50 mA cm-2 for the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1.0 mol L-1 KOH, corresponding to Tafel slope values of 98.8 and 87.4 mV dec-1, respectively. Furthermore, the CuMoO4@Co3O4 shows excellent stability of 120 h chronopotentiometry at a current density of 100 mA cm-2 for the HER/OER. Notably, an alkaline electrolyzer (with CuMoO4@Co3O4 as the HER and OER electrodes) can deliver a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at a low voltage of 1.51 V. The catalytic activity of CuMoO4@Co3O4 can be attributed to the structure of the porous nanosheets and the synergistic effect between CuMoO4 and Co3O4.

Abstract
Owing to the energy crisis and environmental pollution, it is essential to develop cheap, environmentally friendly and sustainable energy to replace noble metal electrocatalysts for use in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). We report herein that a Cu/Cu3P nanoarray catalyst was directly grown on the surfaces of Cu nanosheets from its Cu/CuO nanoarray precursor by a low-temperature phosphidation process. In particular, the effects of phosphating distance, mass ratio and temperature on the morphology of Cu/Cu3P nanoarrays were studied in detail. This nanoarray, as an electrocatalyst, displays excellent catalytic performance and long-term stability in an acid solution for electrochemical hydrogen generation. Specifically, the Cu/Cu3P nanoarray-270 exhibits a low onset overpotential (96 mV) and a small Tafel slope (131 mV dec−1).
