Abstract
Mixed-metal metal-organic framework (MOF)-based water oxidation precatalysts have aroused a great deal of attention due to their remarkable catalytic performance. Yet, despite significant advancement in this field, there is still a need to design new MOF platforms that allow simple and systematic control over the final catalyst's metal composition. Here, we show that a Zr-BTB 2D-MOF could be used to construct a series of Ni-Fe-based oxide hydroxide water oxidation precatalysts with diverse Ni-Fe compositions. In situ Raman spectroscopy characterization revealed that the MOF precatalysts could be electrochemically converted to the active catalysts (NiFeOOH). In turn, it was found that the highest water oxidation activity was obtained with a catalyst containing a 47:53 Ni:Fe molar ratio. Additionally, the obtained catalyst is also active toward electrochemical methanol oxidation, exhibiting high selectivity toward the formation of formic acid. Hence, these results could pave the way for the development of efficient electrocatalytic materials for a variety of oxidative reactions.

Abstract
Exploring efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts is crucial for constructing water splitting systems. In this work, a bifunctional catalyst, NiCo layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets with nickel vacancies, was fabricated by a hydrothermal and chemical etching method, which requires 195 and 227 mV overpotentials for HER and OER to achieve 10 mA cm-2 and exhibited sustained activity for 100 h with almost no degradation. This study provides a new idea for the rational design of efficient non-precious metal catalysts with defects for water splitting.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic recycling of waste nitrate (NO3−) to valuable ammonia (NH3) at ambient conditions is a green and appealing alternative to the Haber−Bosch process. However, the reaction requires multi-step electron and proton transfer, making it a grand challenge to drive high-rate NH3 synthesis in an energy-efficient way. Herein, we present a design concept of tandem catalysts, which involves coupling intermediate phases of different transition metals, existing at low applied overpotentials, as cooperative active sites that enable cascade NO3−-to-NH3 conversion, in turn avoiding the generally encountered scaling relations. We implement the concept by electrochemical transformation of Cu−Co binary sulfides into potential-dependent core−shell Cu/CuOx and Co/CoO phases. Electrochemical evaluation, kinetic studies, and in−situ Raman spectra reveal that the inner Cu/CuOx phases preferentially catalyze NO3− reduction to NO2−, which is rapidly reduced to NH3 at the nearby Co/CoO shell. This unique tandem catalyst system leads to a NO3−-to-NH3 Faradaic efficiency of 93.3 ± 2.1% in a wide range of NO3− concentrations at pH 13, a high NH3 yield rate of 1.17 mmol cm−2 h−1 in 0.1 M NO3− at −0.175 V vs. RHE, and a half-cell energy efficiency of ~36%, surpassing most previous reports. Electrocatalytic recycling of waste nitrate to NH3 under ambient conditions maybe an appealing alternative to the Haber−Bosch process. Here the authors report a tandem catalyst system involving cooperative adsorption of reaction intermediate on different transition metal active sites for nitrate electroreduction with high efficiency.

Abstract
Flow reactors are of increasing importance and have become crucial devices due to their wide application in chemical synthesis, electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), or electrochemical waste water treatment. In many of these applications, catalyst materials such as transition-metal chalcogenides (TMCs) for the HER, provide the desired electrochemical reactivity for the HER. Generally, the flow electrolyzers' performance is evaluated as the overall output, but the decrease in activity of the electrolyzer is due to localized failure of the catalyst. Herein, we present a method for the spatially resolved (tens of micrometers) In Operando analysis of the catalytic activity under real operation conditions as well as the localized deposition of the catalyst in an operating model flow reactor. For these purposes, scanning electrochemical microscopy was applied for MoSx catalyst deposition and for localized tracking of the TMC activity with a resolution of 25 μm. This approach offers detailed information about the catalytic performance and should find broad application for the characterization and optimization of flow reactor catalysis under real operational conditions.

Abstract
Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is a powerful scanning probe technique for measuring the in situ electrochemical reactions occurring at various sample interfaces, such as the liquid-liquid, solid-liquid, and liquid-gas. The tip/probe of SECM is usually an ultramicroelectrode (UME) or a nanoelectrode that can move towards or over the sample of interest controlled by a precise motor positioning system. Remarkably, electrocatalysts play a crucial role in addressing the surge in global energy consumption by providing sustainable alternative energy sources. Therefore, the precise measurement of catalytic reactions offers profound insights for designing novel catalysts as well as for enhancing their performance. SECM proves to be an excellent tool for characterization and screening catalysts as the probe can rapidly scan along one direction over the sample array containing a large number of different compositions. These features make SECM more appealing than other conventional methodologies for assessing bulk solutions. SECM can be employed for investigating numerous catalytic reactions including the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), water oxidation, glucose oxidation reaction (GOR), and CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) with high spatial resolution. Moreover, for improving the catalyst design, several SECM modes can be applied based on the catalytic reactions under evaluation. This review aims to present a brief overview of the recent applications of electrocatalysts and their kinetics as well as catalytic sites in electrochemical reactions, such as oxygen reduction, water oxidation, and methanol oxidation.

Abstract
Here, the electrocatalytic activity of a single graphene sheet is mapped using electrochemiluminescence (ECL) microscopy with a nanometer resolution. The achievement of this high-spatial imaging relies on the varied adsorption of hydrogen peroxide at different sites on the graphene surface, leading to unsynchronized ECL emission. By shortening the exposure time to 0.2 ms, scattered ECL spots are observed in the ECL image that are not overlaid with the spots in the consecutive images. Accordingly, after stacking all the images into a graph, the ECL intensity of each pixel could be used to reflect the electrocatalytic features of the graphene surface with a resolution of 400 nm. This novel ECL method efficiently avoids the long-standing problem of classic ECL microscopy regarding the overlap of ECL emissions from adjacent regions and enables the nanometer spatial resolution of ECL microscopy for the first time.

Abstract
As the world energy crisis remains a long-term challenge, development and access to renewable energy sources are crucial for a sustainable modern society. Electrochemical energy conversion devices are a promising option for green energy supply, although the challenge associated with electrocatalysis have caused increasing complexity in the materials and systems, demanding further research and insights. In this field, scanning probe microscopy (SPM) represents a specific source of knowledge and understanding. Thus, our aim is to present recent findings on electrocatalysts for electrolysers and fuel cells, acquired mainly through scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) and other related scanning probe techniques. This review begins with an introduction to the principles of several SPM techniques and then proceeds to the research done on various energy-related reactions, by emphasizing the progress on non-noble electrocatalytic materials.

Abstract
Metal oxides or sulfides are considered to be one of the most promising CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) precatalysts, owing to their electrochemical conversion in situ into highly active electrocatalytic species. However, further improvement of the performance requires new tools to gain fine control over the composition of the active species and its structural features [e.g., grain boundaries (GBs) and undercoordinated sites (USs)], directly from a predesigned template material. Herein, we describe a novel electrochemically driven cation exchange (ED-CE) method that enables the conversion of a predesigned CoS2 template into a CO2 RR catalyst, Cu2 S. By means of ED-CE, the final Cu2 S catalyst inherits the original 3 D morphology of CoS2 , and preserves its high density of GBs. Additionally, the catalyst's phase structure, composition, and density of USs were precisely tuned, thus enabling rational design of active CO2 RR sites. The obtained Cu2 S catalyst achieved a CO2 -to-formate Faradaic efficiency of over 87 % and a record high activity (among reported Cu-based catalysts). Hence, this study opens the way for utilization of ED-CE reactions to design advanced electrocatalysts.
