Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets with attractive chemical and structural properties have been considered as prominent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts, while the insufficient exposed active sites and low electrical conductivity of MOFs limit their electrocatalytic activity and further industrial applications. Herein, a unique strategy to remarkably boost electrocatalytic OER activity of one Ni-based MOF is developed by the simultaneous incorporation of Fe3+ ions and BF4- anions within its layer structure. The optimized electrocatalyst NiFe-MOF-BF4--0.3 NSs shows superior OER activity with a required ultralow overpotential of 237 mV at 10 mA cm-2, a small Tafel slope of 41 mV dec-1, and outstanding stability in an alkaline medium. The experimental and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results verify that the interactions between metal (M) ions and BF4- anions (defined as M···F, M = Ni or Fe) in this catalyst can adjust the adsorption abilities of oxygen intermediates and lower the free energy barrier of the potential-determining step by tailoring its electronic structure, thereby remarkably boosting its OER activity. This protocol provides new insights into surface and structure engineering of 2D MOFs, leading to greatly enhanced electrocatalytic OER performance.

Abstract
An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor provides a sensitive and convenient method for early diagnosis of diseases; however, it is still a challenge to develop simple and sensitive sensing platforms based on efficient ECL signals and luminophore groups. Porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show great potential in ECL sensing; however, the mechanism and structure-activity relationship, as well as application, are rarely reported. Herein, hydrothermal reactions obtained porphyrin Zr-MOFs (PCN-222) with different specific surface areas, pore sizes, structures, and surface charge states by tuning the reaction time were developed, which served both as the ECL luminophore, coreaction promoter for S2O82-, and a connection in the ECL immunoassay. By progressively controlling the condition of the hydrothermal reaction, PCN-222 with large surface area-abundant micropores can be obtained, which has good conductivity and positively charged surfaces, obtaining excellent ECL performance. The ECL performance and the enhancement mechanism were investigated in detail. Using PCN-222-6h with the best ECL intensity as the immobilization matrix for the aptamer, a highly sensitive and selective assay for thrombin was developed. The decrease of the ECL signal was logarithmically linear with the concentration of thrombin in the range from 50 fg mL-1 to 100 pg mL-1 with a low detection limit of 2.48 fg/mL. This proposed strategy provides a brand new approach for tuning of the structures of MOFs as effective ECL signal probes, thus providing wider possibilities for effective ECL immunoassays in the detection of other biomarkers in diagnosis of diseases.

Abstract
Belt-shaped metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received extensive attention because of their unique structure. In this Communication, Fe-MOF nanobelts were synthesized by a solvothermal method with Fe2+ as the metal source and could not be obtained by using Fe3+ as the metal source. The final result shows that Fe2+ played a transitional role in the process of achieving belt-shaped and cubelike structural changes. Our work provides an idea for the synthesis of belt-shaped MOFs and promotes the development of electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Coordination compounds including mainstream metal-organic frameworks and Prussian blue analogues receive extensive researches when they directly serve as electrocatalysts. Their reconstruction phenomena, that are closely associated with actual contributions and intrinsic catalytic mechanisms, are expected to be well summarized. Here, the recent advances in understanding reconstruction chemistry of coordination compounds are reviewed, including their main classifications and structural properties, reconstruction phenomena in electrocatalysis (e.g., oxygen/hydrogen evolution reaction, CO2 reduction), influence factors of reconstruction parameters (e.g., reconstruction rate and reconstruction degree), and reconstruction-performance correlation. It is outlined that the reconstruction processes are influenced by electronic structure of coordination compounds, pH and temperature of testing solution, and applied potentials. The characterization techniques reflecting the evolution information before and after catalysis are also introduced for reconstruction-related mechanistic study. Finally, some challenges and outlooks on reconstruction investigations of coordination compounds are proposed, and the necessity of studying and understanding of these themes under actual working conditions of devices is highlighted.

Abstract
Although important advances have been acquired in the field of electrocatalysis, the design and fabrication of highly efficient and stable non-noble earth-abundant metal catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) remain a significant challenge. In this study, we have designed a superior bifunctional catalyst for OER and HER in alkaline media based on the Co-Mo-P/Zn-Co-S multicomponent heterostructure. The as-prepared multicomponent heterostructure was successfully obtained via a simple three-step hydrothermal-sulfidation-electrodeposition process consisting of star-like Co-Zn-S covered with Co-Mo-P. The structure and morphology evaluation of the prepared catalysts were performed via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and elemental mapping techniques. The electrochemical tests show that Co-Mo-P/Co-Zn-S exhibits outstanding activity toward both OER and HER with OER overpotentials of 273 mV and 312 mV to drive the benchmark current densities of 10 and 50 mA cm-2, respectively, with a Tafel slope of 41 mV dec-1. In addition, the HER overpotentials of 120 mV and 165 mV were required to reach the benchmark current densities of 10 and 50 mA cm-2, respectively, with a Tafel slope of 61.7 mV dec-1 that outperforms most other state-of-the-art catalysts. In the case of HER, the prepared catalyst required an overpotential of 202 mV to reach the current density of 200 mA cm-2 that was much lower than the overpotential of Pt/C (286 mV) to achieve the same current density. Co-Mo-P/Co-Zn-S also exhibits a suitable stability length of 10 h for OER and HER during the chronoamperometric tests. The superior performance of the Co-Mo-P/Co-Zn-S multicomponent heterostructure toward OER and HER may be related to the large specific surface area, accelerated mass and electron transport, and synergistic effect of multiple hybrid materials. These merits suggest that Co-Mo-P/Co-Zn-S can be considered as a promising catalyst for bi-functional OER and HER, and can be offered a great promise for future applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted increasing attention as a promising electrode material for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Comprehending catalytic mechanisms in the OER process is of key relevance for the design of efficient catalysts. In this study, two types of Co based MOF with different organic ligands (ZIF-67 and CoBDC; BDC=1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) are synthesized as OER electrocatalysts and their electrochemical behavior is studied in alkaline solution. Physical characterization indicates that ZIF-67, with tetrahedral Co sites, transforms into α-Co(OH)2 on electrochemical activation, which provides continuous active sites in the following oxidation, whereas CoBDC, with octahedral sites, evolves into β-Co(OH)2 through hydrolysis, which is inert for the OER. Electrochemical characterization reveals that Co sites coordinated by nitrogen from imidazole ligands (Co-N coordination) are more inclined to electrochemical activation than Co-O sites. The successive exposure and accumulation of real active sites is responsible for the gradual increase in activity of ZIF-67 in OER. This work not only indicates that CoMOFs are promising OER electrocatalysts but also provides a reference system to understand how metal coordination in MOFs affects the OER process.

Abstract
A climax in the development of cost-effective and high-efficiency transition metal-based electrocatalysts has been witnessed recently for sustainable energy and related conversion technologies. In this regard, structure-activity relationships based on several descriptors have already been proposed to rationally design electrocatalysts. However, the dynamic reconstruction of the surface structures and compositions of catalysts during electrocatalytic water oxidation, especially during the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), complicate the streamlined prediction of the catalytic activity. With the achievements in operando and in situ techniques, it has been found that electrocatalysts undergo surface reconstruction to form the actual active species in situ accompanied with an increase in their oxidation state during OER in alkaline solution. Accordingly, a thorough understanding of the surface reconstruction process plays a critical role in establishing unambiguous structure-composition-property relationships in pursuit of high-efficiency electrocatalysts. However, several issues still need to be explored before high electrocatalytic activities can be realized, as follows: (1) the identification of initiators and pathways for surface reconstruction, (2) establishing the relationships between structure, composition, and electrocatalytic activity, and (3) the rational manipulation of in situ catalyst surface reconstruction. In this review, the recent progress in the surface reconstruction of transition metal-based OER catalysts including oxides, non-oxides, hydroxides and alloys is summarized, emphasizing the fundamental understanding of reconstruction behavior from the original precatalysts to the actual catalysts based on operando analysis and theoretical calculations. The state-of-the-art strategies to tailor the surface reconstruction such as substituting/doping with metals, introducing anions, incorporating oxygen vacancies, tuning morphologies and exploiting plasmonic/thermal/photothermal effects are then introduced. Notably, comprehensive operando/in situ characterization together with computational calculations are responsible for unveiling the improvement mechanism for OER. By delivering the progress, strategies, insights, techniques, and perspectives, this review will provide a comprehensive understanding of the surface reconstruction in transition metal-based OER catalysts and future guidelines for their rational development.

Abstract
Reconstruction induced by external environment (such as applied voltage bias and test electrolytes) changes catalyst component and catalytic behaviors. Investigations of complete reconstruction in energy conversion recently receive intensive attention, which promote the targeted design of top-performance materials with maximum component utilization and good stability. However, the advantages of complete reconstruction, its design strategies, and extensive applications have not achieved the profound understandings and summaries it deserves. Here, this review systematically summarizes several important advances in complete reconstruction for the first time, which includes 1) fundamental understandings of complete reconstruction, the characteristics and advantages of completely reconstructed catalysts, and their design principles, 2) types of reconstruction-involved precatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction catalysis in wide pH solution, and origins of limited reconstruction degree as well as design strategies/principles toward complete reconstruction, 3) complete reconstruction for novel material synthesis and other electrocatalysis fields, and 4) advanced in situ/operando or multiangle/level characterization techniques to capture the dynamic reconstruction processes and real catalytic contributors. Finally, the existing major challenges and unexplored/unsolved issues on studying the reconstruction chemistry are summarized, and an outlook for the further development of complete reconstruction is briefly proposed. This review will arouse the attention on complete reconstruction materials and their applications in diverse fields.

[PMID: 34303176 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.07.059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2021] [Revised: 07/06/2021] [Accepted: 07/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Increasing energy demands for pollution-free and renewable energy technologies have stimulated intense research on the development of inexpensive, highly efficient, and stable non-noble metal electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this study, a superior OER performance was achieved using a tri-metallic (Zn, Co, Ni) high-performance electrocatalyst. We successfully fabricated a peony-flower-like hierarchical ZnCo2O4 through an additive-free hydrothermal reaction followed by heat treatment. Then NiCo-LDH (layered double hydroxides) nano-flakes was electrodeposited on the ZnCo2O4/GCE surface to prepare NiCo-LDH/ZnCo2O4/GCE which was used as electrode for OER. The structure and morphology of the catalysts were characterized by several techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, elemental mapping and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method. The NiCo-LDH/ZnCo2O4 catalyst provided high catalytic activity toward OER under alkaline condition (1.0 M KOH) with a low overpotential of 260 mV to drive the benchmark current density of 10 mA cm-2 and Tafel slope of 62 mV dec-1, as well as long-term stability and high turnover frequency of 0.0641 s-1 at overpotential of 340 mV. The NiCo-LDH/ZnCo2O4 catalyst was found to perform significantly better than NiCo-LDH, ZnCo2O4, NiCo-LDH/Co3O4, Co3O4, and commercial RuO2 catalysts. The outstanding OER performance of NiCo-LDH/ZnCo2O4 catalyst, which may be attributed to the large specific surface area, accelerated mass and electron transport, and synergistic effect of multiple hybrid materials, makes it a promising catalyst for OER.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based materials have attracted attention in recent times owing to their remarkable properties such as regulatable pore size, high specific surface area, and elasticity in their network topology, geometry, dimension, and chemical functionality. It is believed that the incorporation of a MOF network into a fibrous matrix results in the improvement of the electrocatalytic properties of the material. Herein, we have synthesized a Co-incorporated MOF-5-based fibrous material by a simple wet-chemical method, followed by an electrospinning (ES) process. The as-prepared Co-incorporated MOF-5 microfibers were employed as an electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1 M KOH electrolyte. The catalyst demands a lower overpotential of 240 mV to attain a current density of 10 mA/cm2 with a lower Tafel slope value of 120 mV/dec along with a charge transfer resistance value of 2.9 Ω from electron impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis. From these results, it has been understood that the incorporation of Co metal into the MOF-5 microfibrous network has significantly improved the OER performance, which made them a potential entrant in other energy-related applications also.

Abstract
FeOOH on the real catalytic interface for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is chemically unstable to dissolve in alkaline media. Herein, based on the perspective of the dynamically stable interface, we purposely design the well-dispersed nanorod arrays of CoMoO4 as a host on activated iron foam (IF) to realize the optimal redeposition of FeOOH, constructing a self-sacrificial template rich in the FeOOH surface. Notably, at long-time oxidation potential, the precatalyst FeOOH-CoMoO4 can realize MoO42- dissolution and redeposition of Co oxyhydroxides on FeOOH host simultaneously, constructing a dynamically stable Fe(Co)OOH interface. The introduction of CoOOH improves conductivity and provides synergistic effect with FeOOH to lower the energy barrier for OER and maintain long-time stability, eventually exhibiting a low overpotential of 298 mV to reach the current density of 100 mA cm-2 and high stability over 60 h. This work demonstrates the feasibility of manipulating metal dissolution-redeposition process for a dynamically stable interface.

Abstract
Since the complicated multiple electron transfer process and slow kinetics in the OER process seriously hinder the electrochemical decomposition of water, it is urgent to design and develop electrocatalysts with excellent performance and superior stability to reduce overpotential and accelerate the reaction dynamics of the OER. Herein, a unique ultra-thin nanosheet bimetal electrocatalyst NiFe-MOF/IF was synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method, and characterized by SEM, XRD, TEM, and XPS. NiFe-MOF/IF shows superior OER electrocatalytic activity in 1 M KOH electrolyte solution, and an ultralow overpotential of only 230 and 262 mV was required to achieve a current density of 10 and 100 mA cm-2, respectively, with a relatively small Tafel slope of 30.46 mV dec-1 for the OER. No obvious degradation of the current density at 10 mA cm-2 was observed over about 16 h, which indicates the excellent stability of the catalyst. Favourable activity and benign durability of NiFe-MOF/IF can be attributed to the three-dimensional high porosity conductive substrates, in situ growth of MOF nanosheets, bimetallic synergy, and unique layering. This research provides a promising strategy for the application of MOF materials in the field of electrocatalysis.

Abstract
A novel Sm-metal-organic framework (MOF) sensor with the molecular formula Sm8(HDBA)6·H2O has been prepared based on a penta-carboxyl organic ligand (H5DBA = 3,5-di(2',4'-dicarboxylphenyl)benzoic acid) and samarium nitrate under solvothermal conditions. Sm-MOF is characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and powder X-ray diffraction analysis. Structural analysis shows that the dimer metal units are alternately connected to form a one-dimensional chain, and this chain is connected by the bridging carboxyl oxygen of the ligand H5DBA to form a two-dimensional double-layer plane, which then expands into a three-dimensional microporous framework. Fluorescence detection studies show that Sm-MOF can detect Ag+ ions, MnO4 - anions, and cimetidine tablets with high sensitivity and selectivity and can also be used to electrochemically detect o-nitrophenol in water. High-sensitivity detection capability of the Sm-MOF can enrich the application of samarium complexes in multifunctional sensors.

Abstract
Ultrathin two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (2D MOFs) have recently attracted extensive interest in various catalytic fields (e.g., electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, thermocatalysis) due to their ultrathin thickness, large surface area, abundant accessible unsaturated active sites and tunable surface properties. Besides tuning the intrinsic properties of pristine 2D MOFs by changing the metal nodes and organic ligands, one of the hot research trends is to develop 2D MOF hybrids and 2D MOF-derived materials with higher stability and conductivity in order to further increase their activity and durability. Here, the synthesis of 2D MOF nanosheets is briefly summarized and discussed. More attention is focused on summaries and discussions about the applications of these 2D MOFs, their hybrids and their derived materials as electrocatalysts, photocatalysts and thermocatalysts. The superior properties and catalytic performance of these 2D MOF-based catalysts compared to their 3D MOF counterparts in electrocatalysis, photocatalysis and thermocatalysis are highlighted. The enhanced activities of 2D MOFs, their hybrids and derivatives come from abundant accessible active sites, a high density of unsaturated metal nodes, ultrathin thickness, and tunable microenvironments around the MOFs. Views regarding current and future challenges in the field, and new advances in science and technology to meet these challenges, are also presented. Finally, conclusions and outlooks in this field are provided.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been identified as one of the promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, direct observation of the electrocatalytic behavior of MOF-based electrocatalysts remains extremely challenging, which is of great significance to understand their electrocatalytic mechanism. Herein, we developed a vertically oriented Ni-based MOF nanosheet array doped with 2.09 wt% Ce (denoted as Ce-NiBDC/OG). Ce-NiBDC/OG displayed a low overpotential of 265 mV to deliver a 10 mA cm-2 current density for the OER. In situ spectroscopy and operando microscopy visualized the phase transformation behavior of Ce-NiBDC/OG to Ce-doped NiOOH induced by electrochemical activation, which was regarded as the real active site. Mechanistic studies revealed that, for the Ce-NiBDC/OG-derived catalyst, the doping of Ce species in NiOOH significantly increased the adsorption of *OH, and further reduced the energy barriers of the rate-determining step (*OH→*O).

Abstract
The electrochemical splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen is considered one of the most promising approaches to generate clean and sustainable energy. However, the low efficiency of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) acts as a bottleneck in the water splitting process. Herein, interface engineering heterojunctions between ZIF-67 and layered double hydroxide (LDH) are designed to enhance the catalytic activity of the OER and the stability of Co-LDH. The interface is built by the oxygen (O) of Co-LDH and nitrogen (N) of the 2-methylimidazole ligand in ZIF-67, which modulates the local electronic structure of the catalytic active site. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the interfacial interaction can enhance the strength of the Co-Oout bond in Co-LDH, which makes it easier to break the H-Oout bond and results in a lower free energy change in the potential-determining step at the heterointerface in the OER process. Therefore, the Co-LDH@ZIF-67 exhibits superior OER activity with a low overpotential of 187 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and long-term electrochemical stability for more than 50 h. This finding provides a design direction for improving the catalytic activity of OER.

Abstract
The widespread use of electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks (EC-MOFs) in high-performance devices is limited by the lack of facile methods for synthesizing large-area thin films on the desired substrates. Herein, we propose a spin-coating interfacial self-assembly approach to in situ synthesize high-quality centimeter-sized copper benzenehexathiol (Cu-BHT) MOFs on diverse substrates in only 5 s. The film thickness (ranging from 5 to 35 nm) and surface morphology can be precisely tuned by controlling the reaction time. The gas sensor based on the 10 nm thick Cu-BHT film exhibits a low limit of detection (0.23 ppm) and high selectivity value (>30) in sensing NH3 at ultralow driving voltages (0.01 V). Moreover, the Cu-BHT films retain their initial sensor performance after 1000 repetitive bending cycles at a bending radius of 3 mm. Density functional theory calculations suggest that Cu2c sites induced by crystal particles on the film surface can improve the sensing performance. This facile and ultrafast approach for in situ synthesis of large-area EC-MOF films on diverse substrates with tunable thickness on a nanometer scale should facilitate application of EC-MOFs in flexible electronic device arrays.

Abstract
A new cobalt metal-organic framework (2D-Co-MOF) based on well-defined layered double cores that are strongly connected by intermolecular bonds has been developed. Its 3D structure is held together by π-π stacking interactions between the labile pyridine ligands of the nanosheets. In aqueous solution, the axial pyridine ligands are exchanged by water molecules, producing a delamination of the material, where the individual double nanosheets preserve their structure. The original 3D layered structure can be restored by a solvothermal process with pyridine, so that the material shows a "memory effect" during the delamination-pillarization process. Electrochemical activation of a 2D-Co-MOF@Nafion-modified graphite electrode in aqueous solution improves the ionic migration and electron transfer across the film and promotes the formation of the electrocatalytically active cobalt species for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The so-activated 2D-Co-MOF@Nafion composite exhibits an outstanding electrocatalytic performance for the OER at neutral pH, with a TOF value (0.034 s-1 at an overpotential of 400 mV) and robustness superior to those reported for similar electrocatalysts under similar conditions. The particular topology of the delaminated nanosheets, with quite distant cobalt centers, precludes the direct coupling between the electrocatalytically active centers of the same sheet. On the other hand, the increase in ionic migration across the film during the electrochemical activation stage rules out the intersheet coupling between active cobalt centers, as this scenario would impair electrolyte permeation. Altogether, the most plausible mechanism for the O-O bond formation is the water nucleophilic attack to single Co(IV)-oxo or Co(III)-oxyl centers. Its high electrochemical efficiency suggests that the presence of nitrogen-containing aromatic equatorial ligands facilitates the water nucleophilic attack, as in the case of the highly efficient cobalt porphyrins.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived catalysts exhibit highly-efficient hydrogen or oxygen evolution performance on water splitting. However, it is an urgent problem to construct bifunctional electrocatalysts for both hydrogen and oxygen evolution performance. Herein, we adopted Ag nanowires as templates to prepare one-dimensional Ag nanowire@ZIF-8@ZIF-67 precursors (1D AgNW@ZIF-8@ZIF-67). Through pyrolysis, AgNW@ZIF-8@ZIF-67 precursors transformed into nitrogen-doped carbon frameworks (NCF) embedded with zinc-cobalt (ZnCo) nanoparticles on the surface of Ag NWs (denoted as Ag@ZnCo/NCF nanohybrids). The nanohybrids were consisted of Ag NWs with good conductivity and ZnCo/NCF nanohybrids with rich accessible active sites. Benefiting from their large specific surface area, accessible active sites and synergistic effect among components, Ag@ZnCo/NCF nanohybrids exhibit lower overpotentials of 139 mV and 279 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm-2 for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solution, severally. Compared with other catalysts, Ag@ZnCo/NCF nanohybrids possess smaller Tafel slope, indicating their higher catalytic activity. This work provides a new perspective for designing low-cost and highly efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.

Strong Electronic Interaction Enhanced Electrocatalysis of Metal Sulfide Clusters Embedded Metal-Organic Framework Ultrathin Nanosheets toward Highly Efficient Overall Water Splitting.

Abstract
Unique metal sulfide (MS) clusters embedded ultrathin nanosheets of Fe/Ni metal-organic framework (MOF) are grown on nickel foam (NiFe-MS/MOF@NF) as a highly efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting. It exhibits remarkable catalytic activity and stability toward both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER, ƞ = 230 mV at 50 mA cm-2) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER, ƞ = 156 mV at 50 mA cm-2) in alkaline media, and bi-functionally catalyzes overall alkaline water splitting at a current density of 50 mA cm-2 by 1.74 V cell voltage without iR compensation. The enhancement mechanism is ascribed to the impregnated metal sulfide clusters in the nanosheets, which not only promote the formation of ultrathin nanosheet to greatly enlarge the reaction surface area while offering high electric conductivity, but more importantly, efficiently modulate the electronic structure of the catalytically active atom sites to an electron-rich state via strong electronic interaction and strengthen the adsorption of oxygenate intermediate to facilitate fast electrochemical reactions. This work reports a highly efficient HER/OER bifunctional electrocatalyst and may shed light on the rational design and synthesis of uniquely structured MOF-derived catalysts.

Abstract
The surface reconstruction of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts has been proven favorable for enhancing its catalytic activity. However, what is the active site and how to promote the active species generation remain unclear and are still under debate. Here, the in situ synthesis of CoNi incorporated Fe3 N nanotubes (CoNi-Fe3 N) on the iron foil through the anodization/electrodeposition/nitridation process for use of boosted OER catalysis is reported. The synergistic CoNi doping induces the lattice expansion and up shifts the d-band center of Fe3 N, which enhances the adsorption of hydroxyl groups from electrolyte during the OER catalysis, facilitating the generation of active CoNi-FeOOH on the Fe3 N nanotube surface. As a result of this OER-conditioned surface reconstruction, the optimized catalyst requires an overpotential of only 285 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 with a Tafel slope of 34 mV dec-1 , outperforming commercial RuO2 catalysts. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further reveal that the Ni site in CoNi-FeOOH modulates the adsorption of OER intermediates and delivers a lower overpotential than those from Fe and Co sites, serving as the optimal active site for excellent OER performance.

Abstract
The adverse effects caused by global climate warming continue to be a great impetus to develop electrocatalytic water splitting technology for hydrogen source production. However, there is an urgent necessity but it is still a significant challenge to explore electrocatalysts with excellent performance, low cost, and environmental benignity for expediting the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) owing to the sluggish reaction kinetics. Fe-based materials, especially FeOOH, have great potential as OER electrocatalysts but suffers from poor electrical conductivity. Herein, we rationally designed and successfully synthesized FeOOH nanosheet arrays supported on alkali-treated nickel foam (FeOOH NSAs/ATNF) and applied it as an electrocatalyst toward OER. The FeOOH NSAs/ATNF catalyst exhibited outstanding performance with small overpotential, fast kinetics and superior stability in alkaline medium. Our research opens up a facile and effective approach to develop cost-effective and high-performance electrocatalysts for energy conversion, especially for these Fe-based materials with poor electrical conductivity.
