Abstract
The design and preparation of efficient and low-cost catalysts for water electrolysis are crucial and highly desirable to produce eco-friendly and sustainable hydrogen fuel. Herein, we prepared nitrogen-doped carbon-incorporated CoP@Fe-CoP core-shelled nanorod arrays grown on Ni foam (CoP@Fe-CoP/NC/NF) through phosphorization of ZIF-67@Co-Fe Prussian blue analogue (ZIF-67@CoFe-PBA). The hierarchical nanorod arrays combined with the core-shelled structure offer favorable mass/electron transport capacity and maximize the active sites, thus enhancing the electrochemically active surface area. The synergistic effect of the bimetallic components and the nitrogen-doped carbon matrix endow the composite with an optimized electronic structure. Benefiting from the above superiorities of morphological and chemical compositions, this self-supported CoP@Fe-CoP/NC/NF heterostructure can drive alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction with overpotentials of 97 and 270 mV to yield 100 mA cm-2, respectively. The two-electrode alkaline electrolyzer constructed by this heterostructure shows a low cell voltage of 1.58 V to yield 10 mA cm-2, superior to the precious-metal-based electrocatalyst apparatus (IrO2∥Pt/C). This study offers a feasible and facile approach to develop efficient electrocatalysts for water electrolysis, which applies to other electrochemical energy conversion and storage applications.

Abstract
Here, a new strategy that combines accessible active sites and multiphase synergy in a simple process is developed for constructing bifunctional electrocatalysts toward overall water splitting. By using metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets hydrothermally grown on pre-oxidized nickel foam (denoted by Co2(OH)2(BDC)/NiO/NF) as a precursor, two novel heterogeneous nanosheet arrays including a cobalt phosphide nanoparticle embedded carbon nanotube nanosheet array supported by phosphorized nickel foam (denoted by CoP-CNT/Ni2P/NF) and a cobalt phosphide nanorod decorated carbon nanosheet array supported by oxidized nickel foam (denoted by CoP-C/NiO/NF) are prepared. Both were confirmed to be highly efficient for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. In particular, CoP-C/NiO/NF exhibits higher catalytic activity toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (η100 = -131 mV), promoted by the synergy of oxidized nickel foam. CoP-CNT/Ni2P/NF performs better in the oxygen evolution reaction (η50 = 301 mV), benefiting mainly from its improved electrochemically active surface area. The two catalysts match well in overall water splitting with satisfactory activity (η10 = 1.57 V) and stability when directly applied in a two-electrode cell. This method will bring new inspiration to maximize the electrocatalytic efficiency of MOF-derived catalysts for energy conversion applications in the future.

Abstract
Regarding dihydrogen as a clean and renewable energy source, ammonia borane (NH3BH3, AB) was considered as a chemical H2-storage and H2-delivery material due to its high storage capacity of dihydrogen (19.6 wt %) and stability at room temperature. To advance the development of efficient and recyclable catalysts for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB with parallel insight into the reaction mechanism, herein, ZIF-67-derived fcc-Co@porous carbon nano/microparticles (cZIF-67_nm/cZIF-67_μm) were explored to promote catalytic dehydrogenation of AB and generation of H2(g). According to kinetic and computational studies, zero-order dependence on the concentration of AB, first-order dependence on the concentration of cZIF-67_nm (or cZIF-67_μm), and a kinetic isotope effect value of 2.45 (or 2.64) for H2O/D2O identify the Co-catalyzed cleavage of the H-OH bond, instead of the H-BH2NH3 bond, as the rate-determining step in the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB. Despite the absent evolution of H2(g) in the reaction of cZIF-67 and AB in the organic solvents (i.e., THF or CH3OH) or in the reaction of cZIF-67 and water, Co-mediated activation of AB and formation of a Co-H intermediate were evidenced by theoretical calculation, infrared spectroscopy in combination with an isotope-labeling experiment, and reactivity study toward CO2-to-formate/H2O-to-H2 conversion. Moreover, the computational study discovers a synergistic interaction between AB and the water cluster (H2O)9 on fcc-Co, which shifts the splitting of water into an exergonic process and lowers the thermodynamic barrier for the generation and desorption of H2(g) from the Co-H intermediates. With the kinetic and mechanistic study of ZIF-67-derived Co@porous carbon for catalytic hydrolysis of AB, the spatiotemporal control on the generation of H2(g) for the treatment of inflammatory diseases will be further investigated in the near future.

Abstract
A novel sulfur-doped vanadium-molybdenum oxide nanolayer shelling over two-dimensional cobalt nanosheets (2D Co@S-VMoOx NSs) was synthesized via a facile approach. The formation of such a unique 2D core@shell structure together with unusual sulfur doping effect increased the electrochemically active surface area and provided excellent electric conductivity, thereby boosting the activities for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). As a result, only low overpotentials of 73 and 274 mV were required to achieve a current response of 10 mA cm-2 toward HER and OER, respectively. Using the 2D Co@S-VMoOx NSs on nickel foam as both cathode and anode electrode, the fabricated electrolyzer showed superior performance with a small cell voltage of 1.55 V at 10 mA cm-2 and excellent stability. These results suggested that the 2D Co@S-VMoOx NSs material might be a potential bifunctional catalyst for green hydrogen production via electrochemical water splitting.

Abstract
Multiporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a subclass of highly crystalline inorganic-organic materials, which are endowed with high surface areas, tunable pores, and fascinating nanostructures. Heterostructured MOF-on-MOF composites are recently becoming a research hotspot in the field of chemistry and materials science, which focus on the assembly of two or more different homogeneous or heterogeneous MOFs with various structures and morphologies. Compared with one single MOF, the dual MOF-on-MOF composites exhibit unprecedented tunability, hierarchical nanostructure, synergistic effect, and enhanced performance. Due to the difference of inorganic metals and organic ligands, the lattice parameters in a, b, and c directions in the single crystal cells could bring about subtle or large structural difference. It will result in the composite material with distinct growth methods to obtain secondary MOF grown from the initial MOF. In this review, the authors wish to mainly outline the latest synthetic strategies of heterostructured MOF-on-MOFs and their derivatives, including ordered epitaxial growth, random epitaxial growth, etc., which show the tutorial guidelines for the further development of various MOF-on-MOFs.

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
Two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures have enabled noble-metal-based nanomaterials to be promising electrocatalysts toward overall water splitting due to their inherent structural advantages, including a high specific surface active area, numerous low-coordinated atoms, and a high density of defects and edges. Moreover, it is also disclosed that the electronic effect and strain effect within 2D nanostructures also benefit the further promotion of the electrocatalytic performance. In this review, we have focused on the recent progress in the fabrication of advanced electrocatalysts based on 2D noble-metal-based nanomaterials toward water splitting electrocatalysis. First, fundamental descriptions about water-splitting mechanisms, some promising engineering strategies, and major challenges in electrochemical water splitting are given. Then, the structural merits of 2D nanostructures for water splitting electrocatalysis are also highlighted, including abundant surface active sites, lattice distortion, abundant surface defects, electronic effects, and strain effects. Additionally, some representative water-splitting electrocatalysts have been discussed in detail to highlight the superiorities of 2D noble-metal-based nanomaterials for electrochemical water splitting. Finally, the underlying challenges and future opportunities for the fabrication of more advanced electrocatalysts for water splitting are also highlighted. We hope that this review article provides guidance for the fabrication of more efficient electrocatalysts for boosting industrial hydrogen production via water splitting.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new generation of 2D materials that can provide uniform active sites and unique open channels as well as excellent catalytic abilities, interesting magnetic properties, and reasonable electrical conductivities. Thus, these MOFs are uniquely qualified for use in applications in energy-related fields or portable devices because they possess fast charge and discharge ability, high power density, and ultralong cycle life factors. There has been worldwide research interest in 2D conducting MOFs, and numerous techniques and strategies have been developed to synthesize these MOFs and their derivatives. Thus, this is the opportune time to review recent research progress on the development of 2D MOFs as electrodes in supercapacitors. This review covers synthetic design strategies, electrochemical performances, and working mechanisms. We will divide these 2D MOFs into two types on the basis of their conductive aspects: 2D conductive MOFs and 2D layered MOFs (including pillar-layered MOFs and 2D nanosheets). The challenges and perspectives of 2D MOFs are also provided.

Abstract
Straightforward synthetic routes to the preparation of transition metal phosphides or their chalcogenide analogues are highly desired due to their widespread applications, including catalysis. We report a facile and simple route for the preparation of a pure phase nickel phosphide (Ni2P) and phase transformations in the nickel sulfide (NiS) system through a solvent-less synthetic protocol. Decomposition of different sulfur-based complexes (dithiocarbamate, xanthate, and dithiophosphonate) of nickel(II) was investigated in the presence and absence of triphenylphosphine (TPP). The optimization of reaction parameters (nature of precursor, ratio of TPP, temperature, and time) indicated that phosphorus- and sulfur-containing inorganic dithiophosphonate complexes and TPP (1:1 mole ratio) produced pure nickel phosphide, whereas different phases of nickel sulfide were obtained from dithiocarbamate and xanthate precursors in the presence or absence of TPP. A plausible explanation of the sulfide or phosphide phase formation is suggested, and the performance of Ni2P was investigated as an electrocatalyst for supercapacitance and overall water-splitting reactions. The performance of Ni2P with the surface free of any capping agents is not well explored, as common synthetic methods are solution-based routes; therefore, the electrocatalytic performance was also compared with metal phosphides, prepared by other routes. The highest specific capacitance of 367 F/g was observed at 1 A/g, and the maximum energy and power density of Ni2P were calculated to be 17.9 Wh/kg and 6951 W/kg, respectively. The prepared nickel phosphide required overpotentials of 174 and 316 mV along with Tafel slopes of 115 and 95 mV/dec to achieve a current density of 10 mA/cm2 for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), respectively.

Abstract
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) and their heterostructure hybrids have emerged as promising candidates for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts based on the recent technological breakthroughs and significant advances. Herein, Ru-Co oxides/Co3 O4 double-shelled hollow polyhedrons (RCO/Co3 O4 -350 DSHPs) with Ru-Co oxides as an outer shell and Co3 O4 as an inner shell by pyrolysis of core-shelled structured RuCo(OH)x @zeolitic-imidazolate-framework-67 derivate at 350 °C are constructed. The unique double-shelled hollow structure provides the large active surface area with rich exposure spaces for the penetration/diffusion of active species and the heterogeneous interface in Ru-Co oxides benefits the electron transfer, simultaneously accelerating the surface electrochemical reactions during HER process. The theory computation further indicates that the existence of heterointerface in RCO/Co3 O4 -350 DSHPs optimize the electronic configuration and further weaken the energy barrier in the HER process, promoting the catalytic activity. As a result, the obtained RCO/Co3 O4 -350 DSHPs exhibit outstanding HER performance with a low overpotential of 21 mV at 10 mA cm-2 , small Tafel slope of 67 mV dec-1 , and robust stability in 1.0 m KOH. This strategy opens new avenues for designing TMOs with the special structure in electrochemical applications.

Abstract
Efficient and durable electrocatalysts are highly desirable for overall water splitting. Herein, a facile strategy is demonstrated to rationally construct CoFe Prussian blue analogues (PBA)@CoP cube-on-sheet hierarchical structure by etching reaction with intermediated CoO to form PBA nanocubes. Benefitting from the heterostructured engineering, the as-synthesized CoFe PBA@CoP presents remarkable electrocatalytic performance in 1.0 m KOH, only requiring overpotentials of 100 mV for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and 171 mV for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to reach the 10 mA cm-2 current density with good stability. Extraordinarily enhanced electrocatalytic performance is ascribed to not only the rapid charge transfer of active species, but also the synergistic effect between each component to achieve tuned electronic structure and abundant electrocatalytic active sites. Especially, the assembled two-electrode cell using CoFe PBA@CoP as both cathode and anode delivers the current densities of 10 mA cm-2 at a relatively low cell voltage of 1.542 V, outperforming most of low-cost bifunctional electrocatalysts reported to date. The controllable and versatile strategy will open up an avenue to prepare hybrid films for advanced electrochemical energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
A series of carbon and phthalocyanine catalysts were prepared with uniform and stretchable sunflower straw biological materials as the carbon source and inexpensive copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) pigment as a nitrogen doping source by a facile high-temperature carbonization method. This kind of biomass carbon material sunflower straw with abundant pore structure and sponge-like expansion and contraction functions can not only be used as a source of porous carbon in biomass carbon materials, but also as a carbon carrier with high specific surface area to provide nanoparticle adhesion sites. When it was immersed in the copper phthalocyanine pigment solution, more active sites could be exposed, so that CuPc particles could be uniformly doped and distributed on the porous carbon material. As a result, thanks to the doping of nitrogen atoms and the improvement of graphitization degree, the composite catalyst treated at 800 °C (CuPc@C-800) exhibits a porous structure with a 38 mV lower on-set potential and a high stability of 87.4% compared to commercial Pt/C (20%) catalyst. These results demonstrate that CuPc@C series composite catalysts have a splendid electrochemical performance in oxygen reduction reaction catalysts, which can start a new direction for later workers to study combining the properties of biomass carbon material and the phthalocyanine series of catalysts. A series of CuPc@C composite catalysts were prepared with uniform and stretchable sunflower straw biological materials as the carbon source and inexpensive copper phthalocyanine pigment as a nitrogen doping source.![]()

Abstract
Due to their highly tunable electrical and structural properties, carbon materials are widely used in fuel cells. This study reviews the latest modifications carried out in order to improve the electrochemical properties of carbon-based anodes in Direct Borohydride Fuel Cell (DBFC). However, in this type of fuel cell, various types of carbon (e.g. carbon black, activated carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene and heteroatom-doped carbons and MOF-derived carbon materials) can provide not only catalyst support, but also hydrogen storage due to the extremely complex process of borohydride electrooxidation. Accurate control of porosity and carbon morphology is therefore necessary for high fuel cell efficiency. Finally, some prospects for the future development of carbon materials for DBFC design are presented. It should be emphasized, that the storage of hydrogen in solid form is a possible breakthrough for the future use of hydrogen as an ecological fuel, which is why scientific research in this topic is so important.

Abstract
A robust polyaniline-assisted strategy is developed to construct a self-supported electrode constituting a nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur tri-doped thin graphitic carbon layer encapsulated sulfur-doped molybdenum phosphide nanosheet array (NPSCL@S-MoP NSs/CC) with accessible nanopores, desirable chemical compositions, and stable composite structure for efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The multiple electronic coupling effects of S-MoP with N, P, S tri-dopants afford effective regulation on their electrocatalytic performance by endowing abundant accessible active sites, outstanding charge-transfer property, and d-band center downshift with a thermodynamically favorable hydrogen adsorption free energy (ΔGH* ) for efficient hydrogen evolution catalysis. As a result, the NPSCL@S-MoP NSs/CC electrode exhibits overpotentials as low as 65, 114, and 49 mV at a geometric current density of 10 mA cm-2 and small Tafel slopes of 49.5, 69.3, and 53.8 mV dec-1 in 0.5 m H2 SO4 , 1.0 m PBS, and 1.0 m KOH, respectively, which could maintain 50 h of stable performance, almost outperforming all MoP-based catalysts reported so far. This study provides a valuable methodology to produce interacted multi-heteroatomic doped graphitic carbon-transition metal phosphide electrocatalysts with superior HER performance in a wide pH range.

Structure-regulated Ru particles decorated P-vacancy-rich CoP as a highly active and durable catalyst for NaBH 4 hydrolysis. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 591:221-228. [PMID: 33611046 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.02.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2020] [Revised: 01/23/2021] [Accepted: 02/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
NaBH4 is considered the best hydrogen storage material due to its high hydrogen content of 10.6 wt% and good stability. However, NaBH4 hydrolysis requires an efficient catalyst because of the sluggish reaction kinetics. In this work, we have demonstrated a process of preparing a cobalt phosphide-supported Ru particulate nanocatalyst with abundant phosphorus vacancies for the first time. Electron paramagnetic resonance and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the synthesized Ru9.8/r-CoP catalyst has ample phosphorus vacancies, and Ru species are small particles (~2.5 nm) with uniform dispersion, respectively. More importantly, the optimized Ru9.8/r-CoP catalyst has the lowest activation energy (45.3 kJ mol-1) and exhibits excellent catalytic performance for NaBH4 hydrolysis with a high hydrogen generation rate 9783.3 mLH2 min-1 gcat-1 at 25 °C, which is higher than most of the cobalt-based catalysts. Moreover, the Ru9.8/r-CoP catalyst also shows good reusability. For example, the catalytic performance only declined by ca. 14% after five cycles. The excellent catalytic performance of Ru9.8/r-CoP is attributed to the abundant phosphorus vacancies along with a large specific surface area of r-CoP, which makes the Ru particles smaller and more uniformly dispersed on the surface, thereby exposing more active sites to show improved performance.

Abstract
2D nickel phthalocyanine based MOFs (NiPc-MOFs) with excellent conductivity were synthesized through a solvothermal approach. Benefiting from excellent conductivity and a large surface area, 2D NiPc-MOF nanosheets present excellent electrocatalytic activity for nitrite sensing, with an ultra-wide linear concentration from 0.01 mM to 11 500 mM and a low detection limit of 2.3 μM, better than most reported electrochemical nitrite sensors. Significantly, this work reports the synthesis of 2D conductive NiPc-MOFs and develops them as electrochemical biosensors for non-enzymatic nitrite determination for the first time.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of chitosan-derived aminated carbon dots with dual fluorescence bands and their influence on the morphology, absorption and emission spectral profiles as well as on the band gap energy in relation to thermal treatment after synthesis. To unravel these changes, we performed spectroscopic measurements in the solid state on two stages at temperatures ranging from 303 to 453 K. For the first heating stage, the emission spectrum showed a 20 nm red shift and a new absorption band at 350 nm, possibly related to new bonds and/or nitrogenous molecular fractions. For the second heating stage in the same temperature range, no displacements in the emission spectrum were observed and both the energy gap and bandwidths for the two emission bands are practically constant, indicating a change nitrogen moiety exposed on the surface. Furthermore, through atomic force microscopy it was noted that the morphology and size of the CDs were not significantly affected by the increase in temperature. It is noteworthy that the values of the Huang-Rhys factor, respectively, 2.584 × 10-10 and 2.315 × 10-9 for band I and II emission after the second heating indicate a mechanism of weak electron-phonon interactions. This work may open a novel perspective for the development of new surface modulation strategies for carbon dots subjected to thermal treatment in the solid state.

Abstract
Onion-like graphitic structures are of great importance in different fields. Pentagons, heptagons, and octagons are essential features of onion-like graphitic structures that could generate important properties for diverse applications such as anodes in Li metal batteries or the oxygen reduction reaction. These carbon nanomaterials are fullerenes organized in a nested fashion. In this work, we produced graphitic nano onion-like structures containing phosphorus and nitrogen (NP-GNOs), using the aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition method. The NP-GNOs were grown at high temperature (1020 °C) using ferrocene, trioctylphosphine oxide, benzylamine, and tetrahydrofuran precursors. The morphology, structure, composition, and surface chemistry of NP-GNOs were characterized using different techniques. The NP-GNOs showed diameters of 110-780 nm with Fe-based nanoparticles inside. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that NP-GNOs are thermally stable with an oxidation temperature of 724 °C. The surface chemistry analysis by FTIR and XPS revealed phosphorus-nitrogen codoping, and several functionalities containing C-H, N-H, P-H, P-O, P[double bond, length as m-dash]O, C[double bond, length as m-dash]O, and C-O bonds. We show density functional theory calculations of phosphorus-nitrogen doping and functionalized C240 fullerenes. We present the optimized structures, electronic density of states, HOMO, and LUMO wave functions for P-doped and OH-functionalized fullerenes. The P[double bond, length as m-dash]O and P-O bonds attributed to phosphates or hydroxyl groups attached to phosphorus atoms doping the NP-GNOs could be useful in improving supercapacitor function.

Abstract
Metal phosphides (MPs) with unique and desirable physicochemical properties provide promising potential in practical applications, such as the catalysis, gas/humidity sensor, environmental remediation, and energy storage fields, especially for transition metal phosphides (TMPs) and MPs consisting of group IIIA and IVA metal elements. Most studies, however, on the synthesis of MP nanomaterials still face intractable challenges, encompassing the need for a more thorough understanding of the growth mechanism, strategies for large-scale synthesis of targeted high-quality MPs, and practical achievement of functional applications. This review aims at providing a comprehensive update on the controllable synthetic strategies for MPs from various metal sources. Additionally, different passivation strategies for engineering the structural and electronic properties of MP nanostructures are scrutinized. Then, we showcase the implementable applications of MP-based materials in emerging sustainable catalytic fields including electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, mild thermocatalysis, and related hybrid systems. Finally, we offer a rational perspective on future opportunities and remaining challenges for the development of MPs in the materials science and sustainable catalysis fields.

Abstract
Microwave absorbing materials (MAM) have attracted considerable attention over the years in stealth and information technologies. Metal–organic framework (MOF) with a unique microstructure and electronic state has become an attractive focus as self-sacrificing precursors of microwave absorbers. The MOF-derived porous carbon (PC) materials exhibit a high absorbing performance due to the stable three-dimensional structure and homogeneous distribution of metal particles. MOF-derived PC materials are promising for ideal MAM via tuning of the structure and composition, resulting in appropriate impedance matching and the synergistic effect between magnetic and dielectric loss. In this review, the MOF-derived PC materials and their basic absorption mechanisms (dielectric loss, magnetic loss and impedance matching) are introduced, as well as the characters of various MOF-derived PC materials. In addition, this review provides a comprehensive introduction and tabulates the recent progress based on the classification of the MOF-derived metallic state, such as pure PC (without reduced metals), mono-metal/PC, multi-metal/PC, metal oxides/PC and other derived PC composites. Finally, the challenges faced by MOF-derived PC materials are overviewed, and their further development is mentioned. MOF-derived PC materials with unique characteristic have been widely concerned as microwave absorbers over the years.![]()

Abstract
The hydrogen evolution reaction in seawater is investigated using porous Ni–Cr–Fe, Ni–Fe–Mo, Ni–Fe–C and Ni–Ti electrodes, prepared by elemental powder reactive synthesis methods. The open porosity of the four kinds of electrode materials is 23.05%, 20.47%, 25.27%, and 29.05%, respectively. The electrochemical performance of the four kinds of electrodes has been researched by polarization measurement, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The preliminary results demonstrate that the porous Ni–Cr–Fe electrode has superior catalytic activity and relatively good long-term stability for hydrogen evolution reaction in seawater. The high efficiency and reasonable stability of the porous Ni–Cr–Fe electrode catalyst demonstrate its promising applications in the rising hydrogen revolution.

Abstract
Transition metal-based electrocatalysts are considered the potential alternative to noble metal-based ones owing to their comparable electrocatalytic properties, durability, and low cost for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we report the partial nitridation of molybdenum oxide nanoparticles anchored on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube (Mo-N-CNT) architectures for a highly active OER electrocatalyst. The molybdenum oxynitride nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the surface of hierarchical N-CNT architectures, where nitrogen heteroatoms are incorporated through the thermal decomposition of carbon nitride. The modified surface chemistry can boost the electrocatalytic activity of Mo-N-CNT to show improved electrochemical behaviours for OER operation. The Mo-N-CNT achieves a current density of 10 mA cm-2 with an overpotential of 344 mV, Tafel slope of 64 mV dec-1, and current density retention of 79% during the oxidation in an alkaline electrolyte for 80 h. The enhanced electrocatalytic performance of Mo-N-CNT is attributed to the hierarchical N-CNT structure and nitridation of Mo oxides.

Abstract
Developing low-cost and highly active bifunctional electrocatalysts for water splitting is very important but still remains a challenge. Herein, a novel bifunctional electrocatalyst composed of CoP and Ni2P nanoparticles implanted in a hollow porous N-doped carbon polyhedron (CoP/Ni2P@HPNCP) is synthesized by carbonization of Co/Ni-layered double hydroxide@zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (Co/Ni-LDH@ZIF-67) followed by an oxidation and phosphorization strategy. The introduction of LDH can not only promote the formation of a hollow porous structure to supply more active sites, but also generate the CoP/Ni2P nanoheterostructure to afford extra active sites and modulate the electronic structure of the catalyst. As a result, CoP/Ni2P@HPNCP exhibits excellent pH universal hydrogen evolution reaction activity and alkaline oxygen evolution reaction activity. Furthermore, the electrolytic cell assembled from bifunctional CoP/Ni2P@HPNCP requires a cell voltage of 1.59 V in 1.0 M KOH at 10 mA cm-2, revealing its potential as a high performance bifunctional electrocatalyst.

Abstract
The typically the Haber-Bosch process of nitrogen (N2 ) reduction to ammonia (NH3 ) production, expends a lot of energy, resulting in severe environmental issues. Electro-catalytic N2 reduction to NH3 formation by renewable resources is one of the effective ways to settle the issue. However, the electro-catalytic performances and selectivity of catalysts for electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) are very low. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop more efficient electro-catalysts to satisfy the needs of practical use. Among the reported catalysts, those based on Group VIII noble metals heterogeneous catalysts display excellent NRR activities and high selectivity because of their good conductivity, rich active surface area, unfilled d-orbitals, and the abilities with easy adsorption of reactants and stable reaction intermediates. Herein, we will introduce the progress of Group VIII precious metals heterogeneous catalysts applied in the electrocatalytic N2 reduction reaction. Then single precious metal electrocatalysts, precious metal alloy electrocatalysts, heterojunction structure electrocatalysts, and precious metal compounds based on the strategies of morphology engineering, crystal facet engineering, defect engineering, heteroatom doping, and synergetic interface engineering will be discussed. Finally, the challenges and prospects of the NH3 synthesis have been put forward. In the review, we will provide helpful direction to the development of effective electro-catalysts for catalytic N2 reduction reaction.

Abstract
Hydrogen has been considered as a promising alternative energy to replace fossil fuels. Electrochemical water splitting, as a green and renewable method for hydrogen production, has been drawing more and more attention. In order to improve hydrogen production efficiency and lower energy consumption, efficient catalysts are required to drive the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Cobalt (Co)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials with tunable structure, adjustable pores and large specific surface areas, which has attracted great attention in the field of electrocatalysis. In this review, we focus on the recent progress of Co-based metal-organic frameworks and their derivatives, including their compositions, morphologies, architectures and electrochemical performances. The challenges and development prospects related to Co-based metal-organic frameworks as HER electrocatalysts are also discussed, which might provide some insight in electrochemical water splitting for future development.

Abstract
Supercapacitors are strong future candidates for energy storage devices owing to their high power density, fast charge-discharge rate, and long cycle stability. Here, a flexible supercapacitor with a large specific capacitance of 443 F g-1 at a scan rate of 2 mV s-1 is demonstrated using nanotube-reinforced polypyrrole nanowires with hollowed cavities grown vertically on a nanotube/graphene based film. Using these electrodes, we obtain improved capacitance, rate capability, and cycle stability for over 3000 cycles. The assembled all-solid-state supercapacitor exhibits excellent mechanical flexibility, with the capacity to endure a 180° bending angle along with a maximum specific and volumetric energy density of 7 W h kg-1 (8.2 mW h cm-3) at a power density of 75 W kg-1 (0.087 W cm-3), and it showed an energy density of 4.13 W h kg-1 (4.82 mW h cm-3) even at a high power density of 3.8 kW kg-1 (4.4 W cm-3). Also, it demonstrates a high cycling stability of 94.3% after 10 000 charge/discharge cycles at a current density of 10 A g-1. Finally, a foldable all-solid-state supercapacitor is demonstrated, which confirms the applicability of the reported supercapacitor for use in energy storage devices for future portable, foldable, or wearable electronics.

Abstract
Herein a facile and versatile hydrothermal method has been developed to construct a polypyrrole-derived carbon nanotube (PCN), MoS2 nanosheets and a carbon shell integrated sandwich-like heterostructure (PCN@MoS2@C). This heterostructure shows excellent performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) over a wide pH range. The results indicate that the porous carbon shell coated heterostructure provides MoS2 nanosheets with sufficient conductivity, increased number of active sites, and strong structural stability, and thus boosts its HER performance.

Abstract
The development of highly efficient and low-cost bifunctional noble metal-free electrocatalysts for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is an effective strategy for improving efficiency. Herein, novel three-dimensional (3D) bimetallic metal-organic frameworks containing Ni and V with adjustable stoichiometry were synthesized on nickel foam successfully. Notably, Ni2V-MOFs@NF only require rather low overpotentials of 244 and 89 mV for the OER and HER, respectively, and expedites overall water splitting with 1.55 V at 10 mA cm-2 with robust durability during the 80 h test. The high efficiency of the novel obtained electrocatalysts should be attributed to the particular morphological design of the two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin nanosheets self-assembling into a 3D nanoflower and the electronic structure regulation resulting from the synergetic interaction between nickel and vanadium. Subsequent theoretical calculations reveal the following conclusions: (I) the exceptional electronic conductivity of Ni2V-MOFs shows enhanced optimization as a result of electronic structure reconstruction, (II) the energy barrier reduction of the rate-limiting step is responsible for the enhanced dynamics of Ni2V-MOFs for the OER, and (III) the facilitation of the adsorption of H+ and H2O plays a key role in progressing the HER catalytic activity of Ni2V-MOFs.

Abstract
The damage behaviors of polyimide fiber after 150 keV proton irradiation and the synergistic effect of proton irradiation and strain were investigated. Changes in the mechanical properties, free radicals, element content, and element chemical state of the polyimide fiber before and after 150 keV proton irradiation were investigated. The results showed that the tensile strength and elongation at break of the material decreased significantly after proton irradiation. The synergistic effect of proton irradiation and strain weakened the reduction of mechanical properties caused by single proton irradiation. After proton irradiation and the combination of proton irradiation and strain, pyrolytic carbon free radicals were generated. According to XPS analysis, the proton-irradiated polyimide fiber underwent complex denitrification and deoxygenation reactions, and carbon enrichment appeared on the surface of the material. Compared with the single irradiated sample, the tensile strength and elongation at break after the combination of proton irradiation and strain increased, indicating that introducing strain during irradiation will weaken the damage of irradiation.![]()

Abstract
Controllable structure and defect design are considered as efficient strategies to boost the electrochemical activity and stability of catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, oxygen defect hollow Co3O4/nitrogen-doped carbon (OV-HCo3O4@NC) composites were successfully synthesized using tannic acid-modified ZIF-67 (TAMZIF-67) as the precursor through a one-step pyrolysis. Tannic acid provides abundant oxygen during the pyrolysis process of the modified ZIF-67, which can contribute to the formation of oxygen defects and the construction of a hollow structure. The existence of oxygen defects is shown by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance, whereas the hollow structure is confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. The optimized OV-HCo3O4@NC shows good electrocatalytic activity and exhibits a low overpotential of 360 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in 0.1 M KOH due to the hollow structure, abundant oxygen defects, and good electrical conductivity. This work provides valuable insights into the exploration of promising OER electrocatalysts with oxygen defects and special structures. Oxygen defect hollow Co3O4/nitrogen-doped carbon (OV-HCo3O4@NC) nanocomposites were successfully synthesized by simple one-step pyrolysis of tannic acid-modified ZIF-67 (TAMZIF-67). OV-HCo3O4@NC shows good OER electrocatalytic activity and stability.![]()

Abstract
In the present study, polysulfone (PSF)-activated carbon nanocomposites were synthesized by a melt mixing technique. Here, 2 wt% activated carbon (CA, CA-Ni, and CA-Co) was used as filler, and effects on thermal, mechanical, magnetic, morphological, and carbon dioxide capture properties were studied. The pyrolysis of wood sawdust produced carbon materials activated by Co and/or Ni salt. The thermal degradation and the amount of metal in the carbon materials were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. The maximum degradation temperature showed an improvement of up to 3 °C, while the initial degradation temperature decreased up to 4 °C with the addition of metal-activated carbons. The values of T g estimated by differential scanning calorimetry appear to be practically identical for pure PSF and its nanocomposites. The elasticity modulus of the nanocomposite shows an enhancement of 17% concerning the neat PSF. The water contact angle showed a decrease with the incorporation of the fillers, indicating the hydrophilic nature of the composite. The carbon dioxide sorption capacity of the nanocomposite showed an enhancement of almost 10% in contrast to neat PSF. Ferromagnetic behavior of the thermoplastic nanocomposite was observed with the introduction of 2.0 wt% metal-carbonized filler. The exceptional magnetic properties, for a thermoplastic material such as polysulfone, make it promising for various industrial applications.
