Abstract
Poor conductivity of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) limits their applications in overall water splitting. Surface sulfur (S) doping transition metal hydroxides would effectively improve the conductivity and adjust the electronic structure to generate additional electroactive sites. Herein, we fabricated a Ni-S/Co-MOF/NF catalyst by electroplating a Ni-S film on the 3D flower-like Co-MOF. Because the 3D flower-like structures are covered in Ni foam, the high exposure of active sites and good conductivity are obtained. Moreover, the synergistic effect between Ni-S and Co-MOF contributes to the redistribution of electrons in the catalyst, which can then optimize the catalytic performance of the material. The obtained 3D flower-like Ni-S/Co-MOF/NF demonstrates excellent activity toward both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in 1 M KOH, which only requires a low overpotential of 248 mV@10 mA cm-2 for the OER and 127 mV@10 mA cm-2 for the HER, respectively. At a current density of 10 mA cm-2, the Ni-S/Co-MOF/NF‖Ni-S/Co-MOF/NF requires a low cell voltage of 1.59 V to split overall water splitting.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of novel platinum-based nanoparticles with step-pyramidal growth induced by poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA). The complex stepped pyramidal shape became the central point for outstanding catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol, overcoming the activity of bare Pt nanoparticles. These results are valuable for the catalytic degradation of reactive molecules.

Abstract
With the ultimate atomic utilization, well-defined configuration of active sites and unique electronic properties, catalysts with single-atom sites (SASs) exhibit appealing performance for electrocatalytic green hydrogen generation from water splitting and further utilization via hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells, such that a vast majority of synthetic strategies toward SAS-based catalysts (SASCs) are exploited. In particular, room-temperature electrosynthesis under atmospheric pressure offers a novel, safe, and effective route to access SASs. Herein, the recent progress in ambient electrosynthesis toward SASs for electrocatalytic sustainable hydrogen generation and utilization, and future opportunities are discussed. A systematic summary is started on three kinds of ambient electrochemically synthetic routes for SASs, including electrochemical etching (ECE), direct electrodeposition (DED), and electrochemical leaching-redeposition (ELR), associated with advanced characterization techniques. Next, their electrocatalytic applications for hydrogen energy conversion including hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, overall water splitting, and oxygen reduction reaction are reviewed. Finally, a brief conclusion and remarks on future challenges regarding further development of ambient electrosynthesis of high-performance and cost-effective SASCs for many other electrocatalytic applications are presented.

Abstract
The development of methods to control the surface structures of metallic nanocatalysts is of vital importance for their application as heterogeneous catalysts in chemical conversions of energy and environmental and chemical engineering. The underpotential deposition (UPD) phenomenon has received considerable interest as a tool for the controllable synthesis of metal nanocrystals and engineering their catalytic performances. Herein, the discovery of UPD of Rh on Pd nanocrystals is reported. More importantly, the UPD of Rh is explored as a strategy to direct the synthesis of Rh-modified Pd nanocrystals with controllable shapes and surface structures. The mechanism of the UPD of Rh on Pd is elucidated in terms of electronegativity difference considerations. Compared with pristine Pd octahedral nanocrystals and commercial carbon-supported Pd catalysts, the Rh-modified Pd octahedral nanocrystals exhibit remarkable electrocatalytic performances during the methanol oxidation reaction in alkaline media. Our discovery heralds a new paradigm for UPD-mediated growth of metal nanocrystals and may provide a mechanistic understanding for the guided design of other colloidal UPD systems in the synthesis and surface engineering of metal nanocrystals.
