Abstract
The performance of a chemical reaction is critically dependent on the electronic and/or geometric structures of a material in heterogeneous catalysis. Over the past century, the Sabatier principle has already provided a conceptual framework for optimal catalyst design by adjusting the electronic structure of the catalytic material via a change in composition. Beyond composition, it is essential to recognize that the geometric atomic structures of a catalyst, encompassing terraces, edges, steps, kinks, and corners, have a substantial impact on the activity and selectivity of a chemical reaction. Crystal-phase engineering has the capacity to bring about substantial alterations in the electronic and geometric configurations of a catalyst, enabling control over coordination numbers, morphological features, and the arrangement of surface atoms. Modulating the crystallographic phase is therefore an important strategy for improving the stability, activity, and selectivity of catalytic materials. Nonetheless, a complete understanding of how the performance depends on the crystal phase of a catalyst remains elusive, primarily due to the absence of a molecular-level view of active sites across various crystal phases. In this review, we primarily focus on assessing the dependence of catalytic performance on crystal phases to elucidate the challenges and complexities inherent in heterogeneous catalysis, ultimately aiming for improved catalyst design.

Abstract
Overcoming the sluggish electrode kinetics of both oxygen reduction and evolution reactions (ORR/OER) with non-precious metal electrocatalysts will accelerate the development of rechargeable metal-air batteries and regenerative fuel cells. The authors investigated the electrochemical behavior and ORR/OER catalytic activity of core-porous shell Mn/Mn3 O4 nanoparticles in comparison with other manganese dioxides (β- and γ-MnO2 ), and benchmarked against Pt/C and Pt/C-IrO2 . Under reversible operation in O2 -saturated 5 M KOH at 22 °C, the early stage activity of core-shell Mn/Mn3 O4 shows two times higher ORR and OER current density compared to the other MnO2 structures at 0.32 and 1.62 V versus RHE, respectively. It is revealed that Mn(III) oxidation to Mn(IV) is the primary cause of Mn/Mn3 O4 activity loss during ORR/OER potential cycling. To address it, an electrochemical activation method using Co(II) is proposed. By incorporating Co(II) into MnOx , new active sites are introduced and the content of Mn(II) is increased, which can stabilize the Mn(III) sites through comproportionation with Mn(IV). The Co-incorporated Mn/Mn3 O4 has superior activity and durability. Furthermore, it also surpassed the activity of Pt/C-IrO2 with similar durability. This study demonstrates that cost-effective ORR/OER catalysis is possible.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis and bifunctional oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities of a CuOx-CeO2/C electrocatalyst (EC) with rich oxide-oxide and oxide-carbon interfaces. It not only demonstrates a smaller Tafel slope (65 mV dec-1) and higher limiting current density (-5.03 mA cm-2) but also exhibits an onset potential (-0.10 V vs Ag/AgCl) comparable to that of benchmark Pt/C. Besides undergoing the favorable direct four-electron ORR pathway, it unveils a loss of 23% of its initial current after 6 h of a stability test and a negative shift of 4 mV in the half-wave potential after the accelerated durability test compared to the corresponding current loss of 28% and negative shift of 20 mV for Pt/C. It also reveals remarkable OER activity in an alkaline medium with a low onset potential (0.20 V) and a smaller Tafel slope (177 mV dec-1). The bifunctional ORR/OER activity of CuOx-CeO2/C EC can be ascribed to the synergistic effects, its unique structure with enriched oxygen vacancies owing to the presence of Ce4+/Ce3+, robust oxide-oxide and oxide-carbon heterointerfaces, and homogeneous dispersion of oxides over the carbon bed, which facilitates faster electronic conduction.

Abstract
Abstract
The study of hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts for water electrolysis is a developing field in which noble metal-based materials are commonly used. However, the associated high cost and low abundance of noble metals limit their practical application. Non-noble metal catalysts, aside from being inexpensive, highly abundant and environmental friendly, can possess high electrical conductivity, good structural tunability and comparable electrocatalytic performances to state-of-the-art noble metals, particularly in alkaline media, making them desirable candidates to reduce or replace noble metals as promising electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. This article will review and provide an overview of the fundamental knowledge related to water electrolysis with a focus on the development and progress of non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts in alkaline, polymer exchange membrane and solid oxide electrolysis. A critical analysis of the various catalysts currently available is also provided with discussions on current challenges and future perspectives. In addition, to facilitate future research and development, several possible research directions to overcome these challenges are provided in this article.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) have attracted widespread attention because of their important role in the application of various energy storage and conversion devices, such as fuel cells, metal-air batteries and water splitting devices. However, the sluggish kinetics of the HER/OER/ORR and their dependency on expensive noble metal catalysts (e.g., Pt) obstruct their large-scale application. Hence, the development of efficient and robust bifunctional or trifunctional electrocatalysts in nanodimension for both oxygen reduction/evolution and hydrogen evolution reactions is highly desired and challenging for their commercialization in renewable energy technologies. This review describes some recent developments in the discovery of bifunctional or trifunctional nanostructured catalysts with improved performances for application in rechargeable metal-air batteries and fuel cells. The role of the electronic structure and surface redox chemistry of nanocatalysts in the improvement of their performance for the ORR/OER/HER under an alkaline medium is highlighted and the associated reaction mechanisms developed in the recent literature are also summarized.

Abstract
We report on the new facile synthesis of mesoporous NiO/MnO2 in one step by modifying inverse micelle templated UCT (University of Connecticut) methods. The catalyst shows excellent electrocatalytic activity and stability for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline media after further coating with polyaniline (PANI). For electrochemical performance, the optimized catalyst exhibits a potential gap, ΔE, of 0.75 V to achieve a current of 10 mA cm-2 for the OER and -3 mA cm-2 for the ORR in 0.1 M KOH solution. Extensive characterization methods were applied to investigate the structure-property of the catalyst for correlations with activity (e.g., XRD, BET, SEM, HRTEM, FIB-TEM, XPS, TGA, and Raman). The high electrocatalytic activity of the catalyst closely relates to the good electrical conductivity of PANI, accessible mesoporous structure, high surface area, as well as the synergistic effect of the specific core-shell structure. This work opens a new avenue for the rational design of core-shell structure catalysts for energy conversion and storage applications.
