Abstract
Transition metal borides, carbides, pnictides, and chalcogenides (X-ides) have emerged as a class of materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Because of their high earth abundance, electrical conductivity, and OER performance, these electrocatalysts have the potential to enable the practical application of green energy conversion and storage. Under OER potentials, X-ide electrocatalysts demonstrate various degrees of oxidation resistance due to their differences in chemical composition, crystal structure, and morphology. Depending on their resistance to oxidation, these catalysts will fall into one of three post-OER electrocatalyst categories: fully oxidized oxide/(oxy)hydroxide material, partially oxidized core@shell structure, and unoxidized material. In the past ten years (from 2013 to 2022), over 890 peer-reviewed research papers have focused on X-ide OER electrocatalysts. Previous review papers have provided limited conclusions and have omitted the significance of "catalytically active sites/species/phases" in X-ide OER electrocatalysts. In this review, a comprehensive summary of (i) experimental parameters (e.g., substrates, electrocatalyst loading amounts, geometric overpotentials, Tafel slopes, etc.) and (ii) electrochemical stability tests and post-analyses in X-ide OER electrocatalyst publications from 2013 to 2022 is provided. Both mono and polyanion X-ides are discussed and classified with respect to their material transformation during the OER. Special analytical techniques employed to study X-ide reconstruction are also evaluated. Additionally, future challenges and questions yet to be answered are provided in each section. This review aims to provide researchers with a toolkit to approach X-ide OER electrocatalyst research and to showcase necessary avenues for future investigation.

Abstract
Integrating various active sites into a multi-component system might significantly enhance the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Herein, the as-prepared iron-molybdenum nitride/molybdenum oxide (Fe-Mo5N6/MoO3-550) composite electrocatalyst under optimum conditions demonstrates excellent electrocatalytic performance toward OER and reaches current densities of 10 and 20 mA cm-2 at overpotentials of 201 and 216 mV, respectively. The OER performance of Fe-Mo5N6/MoO3-550 exceeds that of most previously reported electrocatalytic systems. The significant improvement in the OER performance is ascribed to a combination of mechanisms. The strong electronic interactions among the Fe, Mo5N6 and MoO3 species can accelerate the OER reaction kinetics, which contributes to the OER performance. This work provides new insights into the construction of efficient electrocatalytic materials with inexpensive metals.

Abstract
Currently, finite intratumoral H2O2 content has restricted the efficacy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Here, Cu-Ni0.85Se@PEG nanoparticles are constructed to display intracellular NIR-II photocatalytic H2O2 supplement. The formation mechanism is explored to discover that H2O2 generation is dominated by photo-excited electrons and dissolved O2 via a typical sequential single-electron transfer process. Both density functional theory calculation and experimental data confirm its metallic feature that endows the great NIR-II absorption and photothermal conversion efficiency (59.6 %, 1064 nm). Furthermore, the photothermal-assisting consecutive interband and intraband transition in metallic catalyst contributes to the high redox capacity and efficient separation/transfer ability of photo-generated charges, boosting H2O2 production under 1064 nm laser irradiation. In addition, Cu-Ni0.85Se@PEG possess mimic peroxidase and catalase activity, leading to in-situ H2O2 activation to produce ∙OH and O2 for the enhanced CDT and hypoxia relief. What's more, the nanomaterials reveal novel biodegradation that is derived from oxidation from insolvable selenide into soluble selenate, resulting in elimination via feces and urine within 2 weeks. Synergistic CDT and photothermal therapy (PTT) further lead to great tumor inhibition and immune response for anti-tumor. The antitumor mechanism and the potential biological process also are investigated by high-throughput sequencing of expressed transcripts (RNAseq). The great treatment performance is responsible for the regulation of related oxidative stress and stimulus genes to induce organelle (mitochondrial) and membrane dysfunction. Besides, the synergistic therapy also can efficiently evoke immune response to further fight against tumor.

Abstract
Developing non-noble metal-based core-shell heterojunction electrocatalysts with high catalytic activity and long-lasting stability is crucial for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Here, we prepared novel core-shell Fe,V-NiSe2@NiFe(OH)x heterostructured nanoparticles on hydrophilic-treated carbon paper with high electronic transport and large surface area for accelerating the oxygen evolution rate via high-temperature selenization and electrochemical anodic oxidation procedures. Performance testing shows that Fe,V-NiSe2@NiFe(OH)x possesses the highest performance for OER compared to as-prepared diselenide core-derived heterojunctions, which only require an overpotential of 243 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a low Tafel slope of 91.6 mV decade-1 under basic conditions. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirm the morphology and elementary stabilities of Fe,V-NiSe2@NiFe(OH)x after long-term chronopotentiometric testing. These advantages are largely because of the strong synergistic effect between the Fe,V-NiSe2 core with high conductivity and the amorphous NiFe(OH)x shell with enriched defects and vacancies. This study also presents a general approach to designing and synthesizing more active core-shell heterojunction electrocatalysts for OER.

Abstract
Electrochemical overall water splitting using renewable energy input is highly desirable for large-scale green hydrogen generation, but it is still challenged due to the lack of low-cost, durable, and highly efficient electrocatalysts. Herein, 1D nanowires composed of numerous 2 nm Co0.85 Se-NiSe nanograin heterojunctions as efficient precious metal-free bifunctional electrocatalyst are reported for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solution with the merits of high activity, durability, and low cost. The abundant microinterface among the ultrafine nanograins and the presence of lattice distortion around nanograin interface is found to create a superhydrophilic surface of the electrocatalyst, which significantly facilitate the fast diffusion of electrolytes and the release of the formed H2 and O2 from the catalyst surface. Furthermore, synergic effect between Co0.85 Se and NiSe grain on adjusting the electronic structure is revealed, which enhances electron mobility for fast electron transport during the HER/OER process. Owing to these merits, the rationally designed Co0.85 Se-NiSe heterostructures display efficient overall water splitting behavior with a low voltage of 1.54 V at 10 mA cm-2 and remarkable long-term durability for the investigated period of 50 h.

Abstract
Tailoring the electronic structure of nanomaterials by constructing core-shell heterostruture is a compelling strategy to design novel electrode materials with modified physiochemical properties for supercapacitors with improved performance. Herein, for the first time, we in situ fabricate iron nickel selenide (FeNiSe2)@nickel cobalt sulfide (Ni4.5Co4.5S8) core-shell nanosheet arrays on carbon cloth by an electrodeposition approach and a selenization treatment. This three-dimensional hierarchcial porous framework formed by plentiful interconnected nanosheets can expose numerous redox active sites with varied oxidation states and provide a conductive and porous skeleton for rapid ion/electrolyte ions transport. Benefiting from its modulated electronic structure and synergetic effect of metal-like FeNiSe2 and Ni4.5Co4.5S8, the as-synthesized FeNiSe2@Ni4.5Co4.5S8 electrode displays a large specific capacity of 236.9 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1, remarkable rate capability with 80.6% capacity retention at 20 A g-1, and stable cyclic performance, which are superior to those of pure FeNiSe2 and Ni4.5Co4.5S8 electrodes. Besides, the assembled FeNiSe2@Ni4.5Co4.5S8//porous carbon hybrid supercapacitor device offers an energy density of 69.0 Wh kg-1 at 799.2 W kg-1, and exceptional cycling stability with 91.2% capacity retention after 10,000 cycles. This work offers a synthetic strategy to explore core-shell electrode materials with tunable architecture and morphology for high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
Development of economical and high-performance electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of tremendous interest for future applications as sustainable energy materials. Here, a unique member of efficient OER electrocatalysts has been developed based upon structurally versatile dumbbell-shaped ternary transition-metal (Cu, Ni, Co) phosphates with a three-dimensional (3D) (Cu2(OH)(PO4)/Ni3(PO4)2·8H2O/Co3(PO4)2·8H2O) (CNCP) structure. This structure is prepared using a simple aqueous stepwise addition of metal ion source approach. Various structural investigations demonstrate highly crystalline nature of the composite structure. Apart from the unique structural aspect, it is important that the CNCP composite structure has proved to be an excellent electrocatalyst for OER performance in comparison with its binary or constituent phosphate under alkaline and neutral conditions. Notably, the CNCP electrocatalyst displays a much lower overpotential of 224 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a lower Tafel slope of 53 mV dec-1 with high stability in alkaline medium. In addition, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis suggested that the activity and long-term durability for the OER of the ternary 3D metal phosphate are due to the presence of electrochemically dynamic constituents such as Ni and Co and their resulting synergistic effects, which was further supported by theoretical studies. Theoretical calculations also reveal that the incredible OER execution was ascribed to the electron redistribution set off in the presence of Ni and Cu and the most favorable interaction between the *OOH intermediate and the active sites of CNCP. This work may attract the attention of researchers to construct efficient 3D ternary metal phosphate catalysts for various applications in the field of electrochemistry.

Abstract
Hydrogen production by electrocatalytic water splitting is a pollution-free, energy-saving, and efficient method. The low efficiency of hydrogen production, high overpotentials and expensive noble-metal catalysts have limited the development of hydrogen production from electrocatalytic water splitting. Therefore, the exploration of bifunctional electrocatalysts for water overall splitting to produce hydrogen is of profound significance. Herein, Ni3S2@Ni2P/MoS2 heterostructure electrocatalysts were synthesized on Ni foam through an environmentally friendly hydrothermal method and low-temperature phosphating method. The synergistic effects between different components and the mutual substitution principle between sulfur atoms and phosphorus atoms greatly improve the OER performance of the electrocatalyst. It is also an effective strategy to optimize the adsorption energies of intermediates by the design of heterostructured catalysts composed of multiple substances. Ni3S2@Ni2P/MoS2 only requires a low overpotential (η10) of 175 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH solution and the stable duration exceeds 40 h. In addition, this heterogeneous structure is assembled into an electrolytic cell for overall water splitting, which exhibits a low cell voltage of 1.61 volts and retains the robust stability over 30 h at 10 mA cm-2. The Ni3S2@Ni2P/MoS2 heterostructure prepared in this research provides a strategy for exploring other heterostructured electrocatalysts with different components.

Abstract
Hydrogen (H2 ) production from direct seawater electrolysis is an economically appealing yet fundamentally and technically challenging approach to harvest clean energy. The current seawater electrolysis technology is significantly hindered by the poor stability and low selectivity of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to the competition with chlorine evolution reaction in practical application. Herein, iron and phosphor dual-doped nickel selenide nanoporous films (Fe,P-NiSe2 NFs) are rationally designed as bifunctional catalysts for high-efficiency direct seawater electrolysis. The doping of Fe cation increases the selectivity and Faraday efficiency (FE) of the OER. While the doping of P anions improves the electronic conductivity and prevents the dissolution of selenide by forming a passivation layer containing P-O species. The Fe-dopant is identified as the primary active site for the hydrogen evolution reaction, and meanwhile, stimulates the adjacent Ni atoms as active centers for the OER. The experimental analyses and theoretical calculations provide an insightful understanding of the roles of dual-dopants in boosting seawater electrolysis. As a result, a current density of 0.8 A cm-2 is archived at 1.8 V with high OER selectivity and long-term stability for over 200 h, which surpasses the benchmarking platinum-group-metals-free electrolyzers.

Abstract
As a new type of crystalline porous material, the imidazole zeolite framework (ZIF) has attracted widespread attention due to its ultra-high surface area, large pore volume, and unique advantage of easy functionalization. Developing different methods to control the shape and composition of ZIF is very important for its practical application as catalyst. In recent years, nano-ZIF has been considered an electrode material with excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance, which provides a new way to research electrolyzed water. This review focuses on the morphological engineering of the original ZIF-67 and its derivatives (core-shell, hollow, and array structures) through doping (cation doping, anion doping, and co-doping), derivative composition engineering (metal oxide, phosphide, sulfide, selenide, and telluride), and the corresponding single-atom catalysis. Besides, combined with DFT calculations, it emphasizes the in-depth understanding of actual active sites and provides insights into the internal mechanism of enhancing the OER and proposes the challenges and prospects of ZIF-67 based electrocatalysts. We summarize the application of ZIF-67 and its derivatives in the OER for the first time, which has significantly guided research in this field.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting has become one of the state of the art approaches to generate hydrogen. It is important to exploit relatively low toxicity, low cost and environmentally friendly water splitting electrocatalysts. A series of Cu-Ni-M (M = S, P and Se) materials were firstly in situ grown on Ni foam and these materials showed excellent water splitting activity. The Cu-Ni-S material shows excellent oxygen evolution reaction performance (200 mV@20 mA cm-2) and the Cu-Ni-P sample shows an effective hydrogen evolution reaction performance (52 mV@10 mA cm-2). When the Cu-Ni-S and Cu-Ni-P materials were assembled into a two-electrode system, the Cu-Ni-S/NF//Cu-Ni-P/NF electrode pairs display superior water splitting activity (1.50 V@20 mA cm-2), which is one of the best electrocatalytic activities reported so far. The experimental analysis demonstrates that the excellent performance of the Cu-Ni-S/NF and Cu-Ni-P/NF materials is attributed to the rapid electron transfer rate, increased electrocatalytically active area, more exposure to active sites and the superior synergistic catalytic factor of Ni2+ and Cu2+. It was found that amorphous oxides were in situ generated on the outside surface of the catalyst through the analysis of the catalyst after the reaction, and they were the real electrocatalytically active centers. Density functional theory demonstrates that the in situ generated Cu-doped NiOOH shows the optimal water adsorption energy compared with NiOOH. This work offers novel views for the design of relatively low toxicity, stable and inexpensive water splitting electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The electro-oxidation of methanol to formate is an interesting example of the potential use of renewable energies to add value to a biosourced chemical commodity. Additionally, methanol electro-oxidation can replace the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction when coupled to hydrogen evolution or to the electroreduction of other biomass-derived intermediates. But the cost-effective realization of these reaction schemes requires the development of efficient and low-cost electrocatalysts. Here, a noble metal-free catalyst, Ni1- x Fex Se2 nanorods, with a high potential for an efficient and selective methanol conversion to formate is demonstrated. At its optimum composition, Ni0.75 Fe0.25 Se2 , this diselenide is able to produce 0.47 mmol cm-2 h-1 of formate at 50 mA cm-2 with a Faradaic conversion efficiency of 99%. Additionally, this noble-metal-free catalyst is able to continuously work for over 50 000 s with a minimal loss of efficiency, delivering initial current densities above 50 mA cm-2 and 2.2 A mg-1 in a 1.0 m KOH electrolyte with 1.0 m methanol at 1.5 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. This work demonstrates the highly efficient and selective methanol-to-formate conversion on Ni-based noble-metal-free catalysts, and more importantly it shows a very promising example to exploit the electrocatalytic conversion of biomass-derived chemicals.

Abstract
As one of the promising clean and renewable technologies, water splitting has been a hot topic, especially the half-reaction of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to its sluggish and complex kinetics. Hence, Fe-doped NiCo2 O4 nanobelts were designed and prepared as catalysts toward OER. By increasing the Fe amount, the catalytic performances of the as-synthesized products went up and then decreased. Profiting from the synergistic effect between Fe atom and NiCo2 O4 , all the Fe-NiCo2 O4 catalysts exhibited superior catalytic activities to the corresponding NiCo2 O4 . In addition, the characteristic nanobelt architecture facilitates the conduction of electrons and the exposure of active sites. With the optimal Fe content, the 9.1 % Fe-NiCo2 O4 yielded the smallest overpotential and Tafel slope among the catalysts, distinctly lower than that of RuO2 .

Abstract
It is still challenging to develop non-precious free-standing bifunctional electrocatalysts with high efficiency for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. Herein, for the first time, we present a novel hybrid electrocatalyst synthesized via a facile hydrothermal reaction, which is constructed from ultrafine NiSe2 nanoparticles/nanosheets homogeneously anchored on 3D graphene/nickel foam (NiSe2/3DSNG/NF). This hybrid delivers superior catalytic performances for hydrogen/oxygen evolution reactions and overall water splitting: it shows an ultra-small Tafel slope of 28.56 mV dec-1 for hydrogen evolution in acid, and a small Tafel slope of 42.77 mV dec-1 for the oxygen evolution reaction; particularly, in a two-electrode setup for water splitting, it requires an ultra-small potential of 1.59 V to obtain 10 mA cm-2 with nearly 100% faradaic efficiencies for H2 and O2. This study presents a new approach of catalyst design and fabrication to achieve highly efficient and low-cost water electrolysis.

Abstract
Demand of highly efficient earth-abundant transition metal-based electrocatalysts to replace noble metal materials for boosting oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is rapidly growing. Herein, an electrochemically exfoliated graphite (EG) foil supported bimetallic selenide encased in N-doped carbon (EG/(Co, Ni)Se2-NC) hybrid is developed and synthesized by a vapor-phase hydrothermal strategy and subsequent selenization process. The as-prepared EG/(Co, Ni)Se2-NC hybrid exhibits a core-shell structure where the particle diameter of (Co, Ni)Se2 core is about 70 nm and the thickness of N-doped carbon shell is approximately 5 nm. Benefitting from the synergistic effects between the combination of highly active Co species and improved electron transfer from Ni species, and N-doped carbon, the EG/(Co, Ni)Se2-NC hybrid shows remarkable electrocatalytic activity toward OER with a comparatively low overpotential of 258 mV at an current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a small Tafel slope of 73.3 mV dec-1. The excellent OER catalysis performance of EG/(Co, Ni)Se2-NC hybrid is much better than that of commercial Ir/C (343 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and 98.1 mV dec-1), and even almost the best among all previously reported binary CoNi selenide-based OER electrocatalysts. Furthermore, in situ electrochemical Raman spectroscopy combined with ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicates that the superb OER catalysis activity can be attributed to the highly active Co-OOH species and modified electron transfer process from Ni element.

Abstract
Although ternary components and doping with foreign atoms have been widely studied to enhance the electrocatalytic performance of transition metal phosphides, the underlying mechanism is not clear. Here, we fabricated ternary Ni-Fe-P nanosheets on carbon fiber paper as efficient electrodes and studied the local atomic and electronic structure alteration through X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The optimized ternary Ni-Fe-P nanosheet electrode exhibited superior hydrogen evolution activity and stability in 0.5 M H2SO4 with a low overpotential of 56 mV at 10 mA cm-2. X-ray absorption spectroscopy studies revealed that with the Fe ion incorporation into the system, the Ni-P bonds elongated and few electrons transferred from Ni to P which resulted in a reduced oxidation state of Ni and reduced the interaction between the hydrogen atom and the catalyst surface. Our work not only demonstrates the future potential of high-performance electrocatalysts based on ternary Ni-Fe-P but also offers a promising method to explore the unique synergistic effect in ternary compounds.

Abstract
Developing non-precious oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts with high performance and long-term stability has drawn considerable research interest in recent years. In this communication, we report a self-supported Cu3N nanowire array on copper foam (Cu3N NA/CF) which is derived from a Cu(OH)2 nanowire array on copper foam (Cu(OH)2 NA/CF) through a nitridation process. Intriguingly, this 3D electrode exhibits marvellous OER activity with the need of an overpotential of only 298 mV at a current density of 20 mA cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH. In addition, the obtained electrocatalyst is capable of maintaining its high performance for at least 25 h under a static current density of 20 mA cm-2.

Abstract
A coral-like NiSe@NC nanohybrid as an effective electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at all pH values, constructed via the in situ selenation of a Ni-MOFs precursor, is reported. The electrocatalyst shows overpotentials of 123 mV, 250 mV and 300 mV in 0.5 M H2SO4, 1.0 M KOH and 1.0 M PBS, respectively, to afford a current density of 10 mA cm-2. Meanwhile, NiSe@NC also exhibits a small Tafel slope and superior long-term stability over a wide pH range. The excellent electrocatalytic performance should be ascribed to the unique coral-like structure with a large BET specific surface area (125.4 m2 g-1) and mesoporous features, as well as synergistic effects between NiSe nanocrystals and highly conductive N-doped porous carbon.

Abstract
In this paper, novel cobalt-doped Ni0.85Se chalcogenides (Co xNi0.85- xSe, x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4) are successfully synthesized and studied as high active and stable electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in electrolysis water splitting. The morphologies, structures, and composition of these as-prepared catalysts are characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical tests, such as linear sweep voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and chronoamperometry testing, are performed to evaluate these catalysts' HER catalytic performance including activity and stability. The results indicate that a suitable doping can result in synergetic effect for increasing the catalytic performance. Among different catalysts, Co0.1Ni0.75Se shows the highest HER performance. After introducing the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) into this catalyst as the support, the resulted Co0.1Ni0.75Se/rGO shows even better performance than unsupported Co0.1Ni0.75Se, which are confirmed by the reduction of HER overpotential of Co0.1Ni0.75Se/rGO to 103 mV compared to 153 mV of Co0.1Ni0.75Se at a current density of 10 mA/cm2, and the smaller Tafel slope (43 mV/dec) and kinetic resistance (21.34 Ω) than those of Co0.1Ni0.75Se (47 mV/dec, 30.23 Ω). Furthermore, the large electrochemical active surface area and high conductivity of such a Co0.1Ni0.75Se/rGO catalyst, induced by rGO introduction, are confirmed to be responsible for the high HER performance.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) can be accelerated by employing transition-metal-based catalysts to obtain the desired activity and durability. Considering the promoting effect of the electrode structure on catalyzing OER, a stereo-film on carbon cloth comprising FeNi3 nanosheet-covered FeOOH (F@FeNi3-CC) was engineered by the hydrothermal reaction and subsequent synchronous electrodeposition of Fe and Ni ions. In F@FeNi3-CC, the FeOOH array not only provides the Fe source of FeNi3 nanosheets during the cathodic electrodeposition, but also functions as the support for the ultrathin FeNi3 nanosheets. Such a stereo-film with good electrolyte-permeability also offers expedited electrolyte/reactant transmission paths. The tailored FeNi3 nanosheet offers abundant exposed catalytic sites by virtue of the in situ derived hydroxide layer during anodic oxidation and also acts as the current collector to accelerate charge transport. The F@FeNi3-CC electrode yields outstanding catalytic activity towards OER in alkaline media, particularly at low potential of 1.50 V and large current density of 100 mA cm-2, accompanied with the excellent long-term stability. These results are significant for the construction of stereo-film electrodes for various engineering applications.

Abstract
Searching for efficient, low-cost, and durable electrocatalysts toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is extremely urgent for future energy conversion systems. Herein, the colloidal synthesis of 2D tungsten-doped nickel selenide nanosheets by using Ni(acac)2 (acac=aceylacetonate), [W(CO)6 ], and selenium powder as precursors in oleylamine is reported. The introduction of tungsten is essential for the formation of 2D nanosheets. As a result, by taking the advantage of the unique layered structure and strong synergistic electronic effect between nickel, tungsten, and selenium, the as-synthesized Ni0.54 W0.26 Se nanosheets exhibit superior catalytic activity toward the HER in alkaline media, with an overpotential of 162 mV (η10 ), which is much lower than those of NiSe2 (η10 =330 mV) and WSe2 (η10 =378 mV), and higher than that of most previously reported selenide-based electrocatalysts.

Abstract
FeCo-based materials are promising candidates as efficient, affordable, and sustainable electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, a composite based on FeSe2@CoSe2 particles supported on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was successfully prepared as an OER catalyst. In the catalyst, the CoSe2 phase was located on the FeSe2 surface, forming a large number of exposed heterointerfaces with acidic iron sites because of strong charge interaction between CoSe2 and FeSe2. It is believed that the exposed heterointerfaces act as catalytic active sites for OER via a two-site mechanism, manifesting an overpotential as low as 260 mV to reach the current density of 10 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH and excellent stability for at least 6 h, which is superior to those of CoSe2/rGO, FeSe2/rGO, as well as most of the FeNi- and FeCo-based electrocatalysts reported in recent literatures. It was demonstrated that the most optimal composite electrocatalysts release more Fe species into the electrolyte during the OER process, whereas the releasing of Co species is negligible. When the FeSe2@CoSe2/rGO catalysts were loaded on a α-Fe2O3 photoanode, the photocurrent density was increased by three times. These results may open up a promising avenue into the design and engineering of highly active and durable catalysts for water oxidation.
