Abstract
Air is the most crucial and life-supporting input from nature to the living beings of the planet. The composition and quality of air significantly affects human health, either directly or indirectly. The presence of some industrially released gases, small particles of anthropogenic origin, and the deviation from the normal composition of air from the natural condition causes air pollution. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are common contaminants found as indoor as well as outdoor pollutants. Such pollutants represent acute or chronic health hazards to the human physiological system. In the environment, such polluted gases may cause chemical or photochemical smog, leading to detrimental effects such as acid rain, global warming, and environmental pollution through different routes. Ultimately, this will propagate into the food web and affect the ecosystem. In this context, the efficient removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the environment remains a major threat globally, yet satisfactory strategies and auxiliary materials are far from being in place. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are known as an advanced class of porous coordination polymers, a smart material constructed from the covalently bonded and highly ordered arrangements of metal nodes and polyfunctional organic linkers with an organic–inorganic hybrid nature, high porosities and surface areas, abundant metal/organic species, large pore volumes, and elegant tunability of structures and compositions, making them ideal candidates for the removal of unwanted VOCs from air. This review summarizes the fundamentals of MOFs and VOCs with recent research progress on MOF-derived nanostructures/porous materials and their composites for the efficient removal of VOCs in the air, the remaining challenges, and some prospective for future efforts.

Abstract
Ultrathin nickel (Ni)-based sulfide nanosheets have been reported as excellent electrocatalysts for overall water splitting; however, the uncontrollability over thickness due to the nonlayered structure still hampers its practical application. Herein, a simple topochemical conversion strategy is employed to synthesize cobalt-doped Ni3 S2 (Co-Ni3 S2 ) ultrathin nanosheets on Ni foam. The Co-Ni3 S2 nanosheets are controlled synthesized by using Co-Ni(OH)2 ultrathin nanosheets as templates with anneal and sulfurization treatment, showing exceptional electrocatalytic activity. This template-assisted method can also be applied to obtain Ni, NiO, and NiPx nanosheets, providing a universal strategy to synthesize ultrathin nanosheets of nonlayered materials. The overall water splitting of this Co-Ni3 S2 ultrathin nanosheets achieves a low voltage of 1.54 V at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and high durability in 1 m KOH, comparable to the best performance of electrochemical water splitting ever reported. The detailed structural transformation of Ni-based sulfides in the catalytic process and its mechanism are further explored both experimentally and theoretically.

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
Electrochemical devices, as renewable and clean energy systems, display a great potential to meet the sustainable development in the future. However, well-designed and highly efficient electrocatalysts are the technological dilemmas that retard their practical applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived electrocatalysts exhibit tunable structure and intriguing activity and have received intensive investigation in recent years. In this review, the recent progress of MOFs-derived carbon-based single atoms (SAs) and metal nanoparticles (NPs) catalysts for energy-related electrocatalysis is summarized. The effects of synthesis strategy, coordination environment, morphology, and composition on the catalytic activity are highlighted. Furthermore, these SAs and metal NPs catalysts for the applications of electrocatalysis (hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, carbon dioxide reduction reaction, and nitrogen reduction reaction) are overviewed. Finally, some current challenges and foresighted ideas for MOFs-derived carbon-based metal electrocatalysts are presented.

Abstract
The core reactions for fuel cells, rechargeable metal-air batteries, and hydrogen fuel production are the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which are heavily dependent on the efficiency of electrocatalysts. Enormous attempts have previously been devoted in non-noble electrocatalysts born out of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for ORR, OER, and HER applications, due to the following advantageous reasons: (i) The significant porosity eases the electrolyte diffusion; (ii) the supreme catalyst-electrolyte contact area enhances the diffusion efficiency; and (iii) the electronic conductivity can be extensively increased owing to the unique construction block subunits for MOFs-derived electrocatalysis. Herein, the recent progress of MOFs-derived electrocatalysts including synthesis protocols, design engineering, DFT calculations roles, and energy applications is discussed and reviewed. It can be concluded that the elevated ORR, OER, and HER performances are attributed to an advantageously well-designed high-porosity structure, significant surface area, and plentiful active centers. Furthermore, the perspectives of MOF-derived electrocatalysts for the ORR, OER, and HER are presented.

Abstract
The rational design of a hollow heterostructure promotes the development of highly durable anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Herein, carbon-confined MoO2/Sn/NC@NC heterostructured nanotubes evolving from MoO3 nanorods have been successfully synthesized for the first time. In the growth of the Mo/Sn precursor, a peculiar microstructure evolution occurs from solid rods to hollow tubes through a solid-liquid reaction. The MoO2/Sn composite is restricted within the double carbon layer after subsequent annealing and carbonization that distinctly inherits the morphology of the Mo/Sn precursor. The resulting electrode shows good capacities with hardly any attenuation (925.4 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1) and excellent long cycle life (620.1 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles at 2 A g-1). The MoO2/Sn/NC@NC nanotubes contain the synergistic effect, elaborate core-shell structure, large specific surface areas, and abundant voids. These superiorities not only provide beneficial channels for the electrolyte to fully come into contact with electrode materials and more active sites for redox reactions but also effectively alleviate the volume fluctuation and sustain the electrical connectivity to retain a stable solid-electrolyte interface layer, indeed, bringing about the prominent Li-storage performance. The present study paves a feasible avenue to prepare core-shell structures with high reversible capacity and long-term cycle performance for energy storage devices.

Abstract
Composite electrocatalysts of carbon and metals or metal compounds with homogeneous active sites can be obtained through the carbonization of metal organic framework (MOF) materials under inert atmosphere. In this work, a three-phase composite electrocatalysts NiFe2O4/Ni@C were prepared via pyrolysis from self-assembled MOF nanosheets aggregates. The excellent electrocatalytic activity of the obtained electrocatalysts with various Ni:Fe ratios is demonstrated. Especially, the NiFe2O4/Ni@C sample with the mole ratio of Ni:Fe = 1:1 can use the overpotential (η) of 330 and 423 mV to drive 10 and 50 mA cm-2 respectively. After 80 000 s/22 h, the current density could retained 90% of the initial current density. The excellent activity and stability of the electrocatalysts are attributed to nickel and iron ions with uniform dispersion at atomic level in the NiFe2O4 phase and the synergistic effect of nickel and NiFe2O4 nanoparticles with amorphous carbon atoms or nanoparticles around.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have exhibited huge potential in electrocatalytic fields. However, the intrinsic low conductivity and the blockage of metal active sites by organic linkers still seriously hinder their large-scale application. In this study, as a proof of principle, constructing cofacial π-π stacking in the terminal ligand (4,4'-bipyridine) of a Ni/Fe-chain-based MOF to fabricate strong π-π interaction, in combination with unique hexagonal nanorod (HXR) structure, is found to be an effective strategy to enhance one-dimensional charge carrier efficiency and thus achieve excellent activity in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The approach yields a high turnover frequency (4.54 s-1 ) in well-designed bimetallic chain-based MOFs (NiFe-HXR) at an overpotential of 350 mV, which is about 8.7 and 34.9 times higher than those in Ni-HXR (0.52 s-1 ) and IrO2 (0.13 s-1 ), respectively. This work effectively combines "through-bond" channel in chain-based structure of NiFe-HXR and "through-space" transport between face-to-face terminal ligands, thus resulting in outstanding OER activity. This strategy of modulating the structure chemistry and morphology of MOFs to promote the OER may open a new perspective to synthesize MOFs for energy-relevant electrochemical reactions.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are micro/mesoporous crystalline materials with high surface area, tunability, and compositional diversity and have been widely used in diverse applications, including catalysis. The rigid framework built from organic and inorganic functional structures can offer the merits of both, providing a platform to convert solar energy into usable or storable energy. Various approaches such as bandgap engineering, modulating the charge separation and increasing the intrinsic activity have been developed to improve the photocatalytic performance. This frontier article summarizes the current state-of-the-art in the use of MOFs as photocatalysts, emphasizing the recent strategies to optimize their visible-light-driven catalytic activities. Hopefully, this review could foreshadow new guidelines for explaining the current interest in exploiting novel MOF-based photocatalysts.

Abstract
Is it possible to 'explore' metal's intrinsic property-a cohesive interaction-which naturally transform M0 into an aggregate or a particle or film for driving oxidative C-C bond formation? With this intention, reduction of [Ag(NH3)2]+ to Ag0 with concurrent oxidation of different phenols/naphthols to biphenyls was undertaken. The work is originated during careful observation of an undergraduate experiment-Tollens' test-where silver mirror film deposition takes place on the walls of borosilicate glass test tube. When the same reaction was carried out in polypropylene (plastic-Eppendorf) tube, we observed aggregation of Ag0 leading to floating Ag-particles but not silver film deposition. This prompted us to carry out challenging cross-coupling reaction by ONLY changing the surface of the reaction flask from glass to plastic to silicones. To our surprise, we observed good selective oxidative homo-coupling on Teflon surface while cross-coupling in Eppendorf vial. Thus, we propose that the formation of biphenyl is driven by the macroscopic growth of Ag0 into [Ag-particle] orchestrated by Ag…Ag cohesive interaction. To validate results, experiments were also performed on gram scale. More importantly, oxidation of β-naphthol carried out in quartz (chiral) tube which yielded slight enantioselective excess of BINOL. Details are discussed.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a crucial part in developing high-efficiency fuel cells and metal-air batteries, which have been cherished as clean and sustainable energy conversion devices/systems to meet the ever-increasing energy demand. ORR electrocatalysts currently employed in the cathodes of fuel cells and metal-air batteries are mainly based on high-cost and scarce noble metal elements. It is thus of great importance to develop cheap and earth-abundant ORR electrocatalysts. In this aspect, redox-active transition metal hydroxides, a class of multifunctional inorganic layered materials, have been proposed as prospective candidates on account of their abundance and high ORR activities. In this article, the preparation and structural evolution of transition metal hydroxides, in particular their exfoliation into two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets, as well as compositing/integrating with catalytic active and/or conductive components to overcome the insulating nature of hydroxides in alkaline ORR, are summarized. Recent advances have demonstrated that 2D transition metal hydroxides with carefully tuned compositions and elaborately designed nanoarchitectures can achieve both high activity and high pathway selectivity, as well as excellent stability comparable to those of commercial Pt/C electrocatalysts. To realize the dream of renewable electrochemical energy conversion, new strategies and insights into rational designing of 2D hydroxide-based nanostructures with further enhanced electrocatalytic performance are still to be vigorously pursued.

Abstract
Hydrogen as a reliable, sustainable, and efficient energy carrier can effectively alleviate global environmental issues and energy crisis. However, the electrochemical splitting of water for large-scale hydrogen generation is still impeded by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode. Considering the synergistic effect of Co and Fe on the improvement of OER catalytic activity, we prepared Co-Fe hydroxide nanotubes through a facile sacrificial template route. The resultant Co0.8Fe0.2 hydroxide nanotubes exhibited remarkable electrocatalytic performance for OER in 1.0 M KOH, with a small overpotential of about 246 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 53 mV dec-1. The Co0.8Fe0.2P nanotubes were further prepared by a phosphidation treatment, exhibiting excellent OER catalytic performance with an overpotential as low as 240 mV at 10 mA cm-2. Besides, the Co0.8Fe0.2P nanotubes supported on a Ni foam (Co0.8Fe0.2P/NF) used as both positive and negative poles in a two-electrode system achieved a cell voltage of about 1.67 V at 10 mA cm-2 and exhibited outstanding stability. A water splitting system was constructed by Co0.8Fe0.2P/NF electrodes connected with a crystalline silicon solar cell, demonstrating the application as an electrocatalyst.

Abstract
Because of their low cost and Earth-abundant characteristics, materials based on 3d transition metals have attracted great research interest and are considered as promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), besides the commercial noble metal-based materials, in recent years. In order to improve electrocatalytic activity, it is necessary to design the structures and compositions of electrocatalysts. In this study, a series of multi-shelled CoxNi1-x oxide/phosphide hollow spheres with tunable element ratios were prepared. The electrocatalytic activity of the multi-shelled CoxNi1-x oxide/phosphide is strongly dependent on the molar ratio of Co and Ni. Based on the combined advantages of complex structures and compositions, the multi-shelled Co0.5Ni0.5 oxide/phosphide displays outstanding electrocatalytic performance in terms of high activity and stable durability for the OER, surpassing those of RuO2 and multi-shelled CoxNi1-x oxide/phosphide with other element ratios of Co and Ni. This result suggests a great possibility of rationally designing the composition for highly efficient electrocatalysts.

Abstract
In situ electrochemical activation as a new pretreating method to adjust electrocatalytic performance attracts extensive attention. However, the activation mechanisms of electrocatalysts are still ambiguous. Herein, we propose a facile modulation strategy of in situ cathodic activation of FePx based on W-incorporation (W-FePx/IF) for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The activated W-FeOx with obvious surface reconstruction demonstrates the role of W-incorporation for driving the cathodic activation of FePx, which suggests the larger surface area and more active sites. In fact, W incorporation can not only accelerate the cathodic activation process but also act as the adsorption sites for Had to form the synergistic effect with FeOx for water dissociation. The obtained W-FeOx/IF exhibits greatly enhanced HER activity featuring decreased overpotential from 237.7 to 154.0 mV at 100 mA cm-2, which may be ascribed to W-FeOx with double catalytic active sites after cathodic activation. Additionally, the modulation effects of cathodic activation can be exactly achieved by changing electrochemical parameters such as CV cycles. W-FeOx/IF also shows excellent long-term stability for at least 100 h at 100 mA cm-2. This modulation engineering based on metal doping is expected to provide inspiration for the understanding of the cathodic activation process for efficient electrocatalysts.
