Abstract
For large-scale fuel cell applications, it is significant to replace expensive Pt-based oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts with nonprecious metal- or metal-free carbon-based catalysts with high activity. However, it is still challenging to deeply understand the role of intrinsic defects and the origin of ORR activity in pure nanocarbon. Therefore, a novel self-assembly and a pyrolysis strategy to fabricate defect-rich mesoporous carbon nanoribbons are presented. Due to the effective regulation of nanoarchitecture, a vast number of defective catalytic sites (edge defects and holes) are exposed, which thereby enhances the electron transfer kinetics and catalytic activity. Such undoped nanoribbons display a large half-wave potential of 0.837 V, excellent long-term stability, and exceptional methanol tolerance, surpassing the most undoped ORR catalysts and the commercial Pt/C (20 wt.%) catalyst. Structural characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that the zigzag edge defects and the armchair pentagon at the hole defect are responsible for outstanding ORR performance.

Abstract
It is crucial but challenging to promote sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for water splitting via finely tuning the hierarchical nanoarchitecture and electronic structure of the catalyst. To address such issues, herein we present iron-doped Ni3Se4/NiSe2 heterostructure-embedded metal-organic framework-derived mesoporous tubes (Ni-MOF-Fe-Se-400) realized by an interfacial engineering strategy. Due to the hierarchical nanoarchitecture of conductive two-dimensional nanosheet-constructed MOF-derived mesoporous tubes, coupled with fine tuning of the electronic structure via Fe-doping and interactions between Ni3Se4/NiSe2 heterostructures, the Ni-MOF-Fe-Se-400 catalyst delivers superior OER activity: it requires only a low overpotential of 242 mV to achieve 10 mA cm-2 (Ej=10), surpassing the benchmark RuO2 (Ej=10 = 286 mV) and displays exceptional durability in the chronoamperometric i-t test with a small current decay (6.2%) after 72 h. Furthermore, the water splitting system comprises a Ni-MOF-Fe-Se-400 anode and a Pt/C cathode requires a low cell voltage of 1.576 V to achieve Ej=10 with an excellent Faradic efficiency (∼100%), outperforming the RuO2-Pt/C combination. This work presents a novel interfacial engineering strategy to finely adjust the morphology and electronic structure of the non-noble metal-based OER catalyst via a facile fabrication method.

Abstract
The increasing demands of energy and environmental concerns have motivated researchers to cultivate renewable energy resources for replacing conventional fossil fuels. The modern energy conversion and storage devices required high efficient and stable electrocatalysts to fulfil the market demands. In previous years, we are witness for considerable developments of scientific attention in Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) and their derived nanomaterials in electrocatalysis. In current review article, we have discussed the progress of optimistic strategies and approaches for the manufacturing of MOF-derived functional materials and their presentation as electrocatalysts for significant energy related reactions. MOFs functioning as a self-sacrificing template bid different benefits for the preparation of metal nanostructures, metal oxides and carbon-abundant materials promoting through the porous structure, organic functionalities, abundance of metal sites and large surface area. Thorough study for the recent advancement in the MOF-derived materials, metal-coordinated N-doped carbons with single-atom active sites are emerging candidates for future commercial applications. However, there are some tasks that should be addressed, to attain improved, appreciative and controlled structural parameters for catalytic and chemical behavior.

Abstract
Exploring high-activity electrocatalysts for an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of great significance for a variety of renewable energy conversion and storage technologies. Here, ultrafine Mo2C nanoparticles assembled in N and P-co-doped carbon (Mo2C@NPC) was developed from ZIF-8 encapsulated molybdenum-based polyoxometalates (PMo12) as a highly efficient ORR electrocatalyst and shows excellent performance for zinc-air batteries. The well distribution of the PMo12 in ZIF-8 results in the formation of ultrafine Mo2C nanocrystallites encapsulated in a porous carbon matrix after pyrolysis. Significantly, from experimental and theoretical investigations, the highly porous structure, highly dispersed ultrafine Mo2C and the N and P co-doping in the Mo2C@NPC lead to the remarkable ORR activity with an onset potential of ∼1.01 V, a half-wave potential of ∼0.90 V and a Tafel slope of 51.7 mV dec-1 at 1600 rpm in 0.1 M KOH. In addition, the Mo2C@NPC as an ORR catalyst in zinc-air batteries achieved a high power density of 266 mW cm-2 and a high specific capacity of 780.9 mA h g-1, exceeding that driven by commercial Pt/C. Our results revealed that the porous architecture and ultrafine Mo2C nanocrystallites of the electrocatalysts could facilitate mass transport and increase the accessibility of active sites, thus optimizing their performances in an ORR. The present study provides some guidelines for the design and synthesis of efficient nanostructured electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The reasonable design of the precursor of a carbon-based nanocatalyst is an important pathway to improve catalytic performance. In this study, a simple solvothermal method was used to synthesize [Cu(TPT)(2,5-tdc)] ⋅ 2H2 O (Cu-MOF), which contains N and S atoms, in one step. Further in-situ carbonization of the Cu-MOF as the precursor was used to synthesize Cu/Cux S-embedded N,S-doped porous carbon (Cu/Cux S/NSC) composites. The catalytic activities of the prepared Cu/Cux S/NSC were investigated through catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP). The results show that the designed Cu/Cux S/NSC has exceptional catalytic activity and recycling stability, with a reaction rate constant of 0.0256 s-1 , and the conversion rate still exceeds 90 % after 15 cycles. Meanwhile, the efficient catalytic reduction of dyes (CR, MO, MB and RhB) confirmed its versatility. Finally, the active sites of the Cu/Cux S/NSC catalysts were analyzed, and a possible multicomponent synergistic catalytic mechanism was proposed.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are known for their versatile combination of inorganic building units and organic linkers, which offers immense opportunities in a wide range of applications. However, many MOFs are typically synthesized as multiphasic polycrystalline powders, which are challenging for studies by X-ray diffraction. Therefore, developing new structural characterization techniques is highly desired in order to accelerate discoveries of new materials. Here, we report a high-throughput approach for structural analysis of MOF nano- and sub-microcrystals by three-dimensional electron diffraction (3DED). A new zeolitic-imidazolate framework (ZIF), denoted ZIF-EC1, was first discovered in a trace amount during the study of a known ZIF-CO3 -1 material by 3DED. The structures of both ZIFs were solved and refined using 3DED data. ZIF-EC1 has a dense 3D framework structure, which is built by linking mono- and bi-nuclear Zn clusters and 2-methylimidazolates (mIm- ). With a composition of Zn3 (mIm)5 (OH), ZIF-EC1 exhibits high N and Zn densities. We show that the N-doped carbon material derived from ZIF-EC1 is a promising electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The discovery of this new MOF and its conversion to an efficient electrocatalyst highlights the power of 3DED in developing new materials and their applications.

Abstract
Conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals via electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is a promising technology to alleviate the energy crisis and the greenhouse effect. Herein, low-cost wood biomass was applied as the carbon source to prepare nitrogen (N)-doped carbon electrocatalysts for the conversion of CO2 to CO and further as the cathode material for Zn-CO2 batteries. By virtue of N-doping and assistance of FeCl3, a cedar biomass-derived three-dimensional (3D) N-doped graphitized carbon with a high N-doping content (5.38%), an ultrahigh specific surface area (1673.6 m2 g-1), rich nanopores, and sufficient active N sites was successfully obtained, which exhibited super CO2RR activity with a high faradaic efficiency of 91% at a low applied potential of 0.56 V (vs RHE) and a long-term stability for at least 20 h. Furthermore, a Zn-CO2 battery with it as the cathode material delivered a stable open circuit voltage of 0.79 V, a peak power density of 0.51 mW cm-2 at 2.14 mA cm-2, and a maximum faradaic efficiency to CO of 80.4% at 2.56 mA cm-2, indicating that it could be applied in a practical process by using CO2 to generate power with the production of CO. Density functional theory calculations revealed that pyridinic N could more effectively decrease the free energy barriers for CO2RR and boost the reaction. This work not only revealed a facile approach to convert waste biomass into N-doped-graphitization carbon as valuable CO2RR electrocatalysts but also provided a new strategy to achieve "carbon solving carbon's problem".
