Abstract
Advances in polyoxometalate (POM) self-assembly chemistry are always accompanied by new developments in molecular blocks. The exploration and discovery of uncommon building blocks offer great possibilities for generating unprecedented POM clusters. An intriguing SbIII-WVI-cotemplated antimonotungstate [H2N(CH3)2]11Na[SbW9O33]Er2(H2O)2Sb2[SbWVIW15O57]·22H2O (1) was synthesized, which comprises a classical trivacant Keggin [SbW9O33]9- ({SbW9}) fragment and an unclassical lacunary Dawson-like [SbWVIW15O57]15- ({SbWVIW15}) subunit. Notably, the Dawson-like {SbWVIW15} subunit is the first example of a [SbO3]3- and [WVIO6]6- mixed-heteroatom-directing POM segment. Hexacoordinated [WVIO6]6- can not only serve as the heteroatom function but its additional oxygen sites can also link to lanthanide, main-group metal, and transition-metal centers to form the innovative structure. {SbWVIW15} and {SbW9} subunits are joined by the heterometallic [Er2(H2O)2Sb2O17]22- cluster to give rise to an asymmetric sandwich-type architecture. To further realize its potential application in electrochemical sensing, a conductive 1@rGO composite was obtained by the electrochemical deposition of 1 with graphene oxide (GO). Using a 1@rGO-modified glassy carbon electrode as the working electrode, an electrochemical biosensor for detecting the antidepressant drug paroxetine (PRX) was successfully constructed. This work can provide a viable strategy for synthesizing mixed-heteroatom-directing POMs and demonstrates the application of POM-based materials for the electrochemical detection of drug molecules.

Abstract
Two polyoxometalate (POM)-based hybrid compounds have been successfully designed and constructed by the hydrothermal method with molecular formulas [K(H2O)2FeII0.33Co0.67(H2O)2(DAPSC)]2{[FeII0.33Co0.67(H2O)(DAPSC)]2[FeII0.33Co0.67(H2O)4]2[Na2FeIII4P4W32O120]}·21.5H2O (1), and [Na(H2O)2FeII0.33Mn0.67(H2O)2(DAPSC)]2{[FeII0.33Mn0.67(H2O)(DAPSC)]2[FeII0.33Mn0.67(H2O)4]2[Na2FeIII4P4W32O120(H2O)2]}·24H2O (2) (DAPSC = 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis-(semicarbazone)), respectively. Structural analysis revealed that 1 and 2 consisted of metal-organic complexes containing DAPSC ligands with dumbbell-type inorganic clusters, iron-cobalt (iron-manganese) and some other ions. By utilizing a combination of strongly reducing {P2W12} units and bimetal-doped centres the CO2 photoreduction catalytic capacity of 1 and 2 was improved. Notably, the photocatalytic performance of 1 was much better than that of 2. In CO2 photoreduction, 1 exhibited CO selectivity as high as 90.8%. Furthermore, for 1, the CO generation rate reached 6885.1 μmol g-1 h-1 at 8 h with 3 mg, and its better photocatalytic performance was presumably due to the introduction of cobalt and iron elements to give 1 a more appropriate energy band structure. Further recycling experiments indicated that 1 was a highly efficient CO2 photoreduction catalyst, which could still possess catalytic activity after several cycles.

Abstract
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is an energy-determined half-reaction for water splitting and many other energy conversion processes, such as rechargeable metal-air batteries and CO2 reduction, due to its four-electron sluggish process. To reduce the energy consumption and cost of these advanced technologies, various transition metal-based nanomaterials, like metal oxides/hydroxides, nitride, and phosphide are synthesized. Among these, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based materials are considered as the ideal candidate for the fabrication of efficient OER electrocatalysts owing to their unique physicochemical properties. In this review, the fundamental catalytic mechanisms and key evaluation parameters of OER in acidic and alkaline media are presented first. Then, design strategies for MOF-based OER catalysts and research progress in the study of the structure-performance relationship are summarized. Subsequently, the recent research advances of MOF-based OER electrocatalysts in alkaline, acidic, and neutral electrolytes are overviewed. Finally, current challenges and future opportunities are provided under the frame of materials design, theoretical understanding, advanced characterization techniques, and industrial applications.

Abstract
The generation of undesired biofouling in medical and engineering applications results in a reduction in function and durability. Copying functionalities of natural enzymes to combat biofouling by artificial nanomaterials is highly attractive but still challenged by the inferior catalytic activity and specificity principally because of low densities of active sites. Here, an innovate strategy is demonstrated to stabilize high-density ultrasmall ceria clusters on zirconia for biofouling prevention. Benefiting from the unique structure, CeO2 @ZrO2 nanozyme can significantly enhance the haloperoxidase-mimicking activity in catalyzing the oxidation of bromide with H2 O2 into biocidal hypobromous acid as a result of abundant defects and surface strong acidity sites, inducing impressive antibacterial and antibiofouling capacity compared with that of pristine CeO2 . This work is expected to open a new avenue for the rational design of cluster catalysts for various targeting catalytic applications.

Abstract
![]()
The development and
application of trimetallic nanoparticles continues
to accelerate rapidly as a result of advances in materials design,
synthetic control, and reaction characterization. Following the technological
successes of multicomponent materials in automotive exhausts and photovoltaics,
synergistic effects are now accessible through the careful preparation
of multielement particles, presenting exciting opportunities in the
field of catalysis. In this review, we explore the methods currently
used in the design, synthesis, analysis, and application of trimetallic
nanoparticles across both the experimental and computational realms
and provide a critical perspective on the emergent field of trimetallic
nanocatalysts. Trimetallic nanoparticles are typically supported on
high-surface-area metal oxides for catalytic applications, synthesized via preparative conditions that are comparable to those
applied for mono- and bimetallic nanoparticles. However, controlled
elemental segregation and subsequent characterization remain challenging
because of the heterogeneous nature of the systems. The multielement
composition exhibits beneficial synergy for important oxidation, dehydrogenation,
and hydrogenation reactions; in some cases, this is realized through
higher selectivity, while activity improvements are also observed.
However, challenges related to identifying and harnessing influential
characteristics for maximum productivity remain. Computation provides
support for the experimental endeavors, for example in electrocatalysis,
and a clear need is identified for the marriage of simulation, with
respect to both combinatorial element screening and optimal reaction
design, to experiment in order to maximize productivity from this
nascent field. Clear challenges remain with respect to identifying,
making, and applying trimetallic catalysts efficiently, but the foundations
are now visible, and the outlook is strong for this exciting chemical
field.

Abstract
Efficient and durable non-precious catalyst for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is pivotal for practical water electrolysis toward clean hydrogen fuel. Herein, a molybdenum oxide-FeCoCu alloy hybrid (MoOx-FeCoCu) catalyst was designed by polyoxometallate (POM) molecular cluster mediated solvothermal alcoholysis and ammonolysis of metal salts followed by pyrolytic reduction treatment. The HER efficiency is substantially enhanced by the ternary alloy component, which is more close to the benchmark Pt/C catalyst, and the HER catalytic stability is also superior to Pt/C catalyst. Moreover, the MoOx-FeCoCu demonstrates high catalytic efficiency and rather good durability for OER. Benefitted by the bifunctional catalytic behaviors for HER and OER, the symmetric water electrolyzer based on the MoOx-FeCoCu electrode requires a low driving voltage of 1.69 V to deliver a response current density of 10 mA cm-2, which is comparable to that based on the benchmark Pt/C HER cathode and RuO2 OER anode. The current work offers a feasible way to design efficient bifunctional catalyst for water electrolysis via POM mediated co-assembly and calcination treatment.

Abstract
Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4 ) as a metal oxidation semiconductor has stimulated extensive attention in the photocatalytic water splitting field. However, the poor transport ability and easy recombination of charge carriers limit photocatalytic water oxidation activity of pure BiVO4 . Herein, the photocatalytic activity of BiVO4 is enhanced via adjusting its morphology and combination co-catalyst. First, the Cu-BiVO4 was synthesized by copper doping to control the growth of {110} facet of BiVO4 , which is regarded for the separation of photo-generated charge carriers. Then the CoOx in-situ generated from K6 [SiCoII (H2 O)W11 O39 ] ⋅ 16H2 O was photo-deposited on Cu-BiVO4 surface as co-catalyst to speed up reaction kinetics. Cu-BiVO4 @CoOx hybrid catalyst shows highest photocatalytic activity and best stability among all the prepared catalysts. Oxygen evolution is about 34.6 μmol in pH 4 acetic acid buffer under 420 nm LED irradiation, which is nearly 20 times higher than that of pure BiVO4 . Apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) in 1 h and O2 yield are 1.83% and 23.1%, respectively. O2 evolution amount nearly maintains the original value even after 5 cycles.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the efficiency-determining half-reaction process of high-demand, electricity-driven water splitting due to its sluggish four-electron transfer reaction. Tremendous effects on developing OER catalysts with high activity and strong acid-tolerance at high oxidation potentials have been made for proton-conducting polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE), which is one of the most promising future hydrogen-fuel-generating technologies. This review presents recent progress in understanding OER mechanisms in PEMWE, including the adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM) and the lattice-oxygen-mediated mechanism (LOM). We further summarize the latest strategies to improve catalytic performance, such as surface/interface modification, catalytic site coordination construction, and electronic structure regulation of catalytic centers. Finally, challenges and prospective solutions for improving OER performance are proposed.

Abstract
An open-core cobalt polyoxometalate (POM) [(A-α-SiW9O34)Co4(OH)3(CH3COO)3]8-Co(1) and its isostructural Co/Ni-analogue [(A-α-SiW9O34)Co1.5Ni2.5(OH)3(CH3COO)3]8-CoNi(2) were synthesized and investigated for their photocatalytic and electrocatalytic performance. Co(1) shows high photocatalytic O2 yields, which are competitive with leading POM water oxidation catalysts (WOCs). Furthermore, Co(1) and CoNi(2) were employed as well-defined precursors for heterogeneous WOCs. Annealing at various temperatures afforded amorphous and crystalline CoWO4- and Co1.5Ni2.5WO4-related nanoparticles. CoWO4-related particles formed at 300 °C showed substantial electrocatalytic improvements and were superior to reference materials obtained from co-precipitation/annealing routes. Interestingly, no synergistic interactions between cobalt and nickel centers were observed for the mixed-metal POM precursor and the resulting tungstate catalysts. This stands in sharp contrast to a wide range of studies on various heterogeneous catalyst types which were notably improved through Co/Ni substitution. The results clearly demonstrate that readily accessible POMs are promising precursors for the convenient and low-temperature synthesis of amorphous heterogeneous water oxidation catalysts with enhanced performance compared to conventional approaches. This paves the way to tailoring polyoxometalates as molecular precursors with tuneable transition metal cores for high performance heterogeneous electrocatalysts. Our results furthermore illustrate the key influence of the synthetic history on the performance of oxide catalysts and highlight the dependence of synergistic metal interactions on the structural environment.

Abstract
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a bottleneck process in the water-splitting module for sustainable and clean energy production. Transition metal-based electrocatalysts can be effective as water-splitting catalytic materials because of their appropriate redox properties and natural abundance, but the slow kinetics because of strong adsorption and consequently slow desorption of intermediates on the active sites of catalysts severely hamper the dynamics of the released molecular oxygen and thus remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we report the development of structurally and surface-modified PA-Gd-Ni(OH)2Cl (partially alkylated gadolinium-doped nickel oxychloride) nanoclusters (NCs, size ≤ 3 nm) for enhanced and stable OER catalysis at low overpotential and high turnover frequency. The ameliorated catalytic performance was achieved by controlling the surface coverage of these NCs with hydrophobic ligands and through the incorporation of electronegative atoms to facilitate easy adsorption/desorption of intermediates on the catalyst surface, thus improving the liberation of O2. Such a surface and structural modification and uniform distribution at the nanoscale length are indeed worth considering to selectively tune the catalytic potential and further modernize the electrode materials for the challenging OER process.

Abstract
Exploring efficient, stable, and earth-abundant electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great significance for clean and renewable energy conversion technologies. In this work, in situ uniform Ni-doped tungsten carbide (Ni/WCX) nanoparticles (~3 nm) on carbon nanofibers (Ni/WCX-CNFs) that were to function as efficient OER catalysts were developed. Both the composition and electronic state of tungsten carbide (WCX: W-WC-W2C) could be regulated through varied Ni coupling. Owing to the synergistic effect between Ni and WCX, the reaction kinetics were facilitated, resulting in improved OER activity with low overpotentials of η10 = 350 mV (modified glassy carbon electrode) and η10 = 335 mV (self-supporting electrode). This work opens a facile territory for the development of cost-effective and highly promising OER electrocatalysts for use in real life applications.

Abstract
Microplasmas are low-temperature plasmas that feature microscale dimensions and a unique high-energy-density and a nonequilibrium reactive environment, which makes them promising for the fabrication of advanced nanomaterials and devices for diverse applications. Here, recent microplasma applications are examined, spanning from high-throughput, printing-technology-compatible synthesis of nanocrystalline particles of common materials types, to water purification and optoelectronic devices. Microplasmas combined with gaseous and/or liquid media at low temperatures and atmospheric pressure open new ways to form advanced functional materials and devices. Specific examples include gas-phase, substrate-free, plasma-liquid, and surface-supported synthesis of metallic, semiconducting, metal oxide, and carbon-based nanomaterials. Representative applications of microplasmas of particular importance to materials science and technology include light sources for multipurpose, efficient VUV/UV light sources for photochemical materials processing and spectroscopic materials analysis, surface disinfection, water purification, active electromagnetic devices based on artificial microplasma optical materials, and other devices and systems including the plasma transistor. The current limitations and future opportunities for microplasma applications in materials related fields are highlighted.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters (NCs, size ≤2 nm) are emerging materials in catalysis owing to their unique catalytic and electronic properties such as high surface/volume ratio, high redox potential, plethora of surface active sites, and dynamic behavior on a suitable support during catalysis. Herein, in situ growth of ultrasmall and robust Co@β-Co(OH)2 NCs (≈2 nm) hosted in a honeycomb-like 3D N-enriched carbon network was developed for water-oxidation catalysis with extremely small onset potential (1.44 V). Overpotentials of 220 and 270 mV were required to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and 100 mA cm-2 , respectively, in alkaline medium (1 m KOH). More promisingly, at η10 =240 mV, the prolonged oxygen evolution process (>130 h) with faradaic efficiency >95 % at a reaction rate of 22 s-1 at 1.46 V further substantiated the key role of the ultrasmall supported NCs, which outperformed the benchmark electrocatalysts (RuO2 /IrO2 ) and NCs reported so far. It is anticipated that the high redox potential of NCs with regeneratable active sites and their concerted synergistic effects with the N-enriched porous/flexible carbon network are inherently worth considering to enhance the mass/charge transport owing to the nanoscale interfacial collaboration across the electrode/electrolyte boundary, thereby efficiently energizing the sluggish/challenging oxygen evolution process.

Abstract
The top-down fabrication of catalytically active molecular metal oxide anions, or polyoxometalates, is virtually unexplored, although these materials offer unique possibilities, for catalysis, energy conversion and storage. Here, we report a novel top-down route, which enables the scalable synthesis and deposition of sub-nanometer molybdenum-oxo clusters on electrically conductive mesoporous carbon. The new approach uses a unique redox-cycling process to convert crystalline MoIVO2 particles into sub-nanometer molecular molybdenum-oxo clusters with a nuclearity of ∼1-20. The resulting molybdenum-oxo cluster/carbon composite shows outstanding, stable electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen reduction reaction with catalyst characteristics comparable to those of commercial Pt/C. This new material design could give access to a new class of highly reactive polyoxometalate-like metal oxo clusters as high-performance, earth abundant (electro-)catalysts.
