Abstract
The design and preparation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as self-sacrificed precursors/templates has been considered as a promising strategy in recent years for fabricating metal/carbon electrocatalysts with intriguing architectures and outstanding properties. However, the serious aggregation during the calcination and the poor electron conductivity are still obstacles for these electrocatalysts which need to be urgently solved. Herein, an in situ confinement pyrolysis protocol is reported to transform ZIF-67 nanocrystals on hollow carbon spheres (HCS) to cobalt and nitrogen-enriched carbon shell, resulting in the formation of hierarchical HCS@Co/NC. This is the first study of electrochemistry for HCS decorated with MOFs or MOFs derivatives. In the structure, metallic Co nanoparticles (NPs) and N species are strongly anchored and dispersed in the network of nanocarbon shell, which not only affords a boosting conductivity but also greatly alleviates the aggregation of active sites. Meanwhile, the unique structure with hollow feature provides an effective pathway for mass transport and shortens the transmission path of electrons. Thanks to the advantages of structure and composition, the HCS@Co/NC catalyst exhibits a superb performance of oxygen reduction reaction, which outperforms the commercial Pt/C benchmark.

Abstract
Lithium (Li) metal is widely considered the most promising anode material because of its ultrahigh specific energy. However, the obvious volume change and uncontrollable dendrite growth hinder its commercial applications. Herein, we designed a 3D scaffold of Cu3P nanoarray-modified Cu foam via in situ conversion (3D MIECS). Uniform lithiophilic Cu3P nanoarrays were in situ grown inside the Cu foam (Cu3P NA@CF) that presented a high specific surface area and very low nucleation overpotential. Specifically, the lithiated Cu3P nanoarrays possess the features of mixed ion/electron conductivity and structural stability responsible for uniform Li deposition in the whole three-dimensional space of the metal skeleton, showing scarcely any volume expansion or structural collapse during the continuous Li plating/stripping process. Therefore, the modified Cu foam host achieves dendrite-free cycling over 600 cycles at a current density of 3 mA cm-2 with a coulombic efficiency (CE) of 99.1%. A 3D MIECS-Li||LiFePO4 full cell holds a capacity retention of 80% with a stable CE of 99.63% over 1000 cycles at 3 C.

Abstract
In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) derived nano-porous carbon structures that were further hybridized with MnO2 were tested for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as cathode material for fuel cells. The prepared electrocatalyst was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX). Cyclic voltammetry was performed on these materials at different scan rates under dissolved oxygen in basic media (0.1 M KOH), inert and oxygen rich conditions to obtain their I–V curves. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Chronoamperometry was also performed to observe the materials’ impedance and stability. We report improved performance of hybridized catalyst for ORR based on cyclic voltammetry and EIS results, which show that it can be a potential candidate for fuel cell applications.

Abstract
Increasing the complexity of nanomaterials in terms of their structure and chemical composition has attracted significant attention, because it can yield unique scientific outcomes and considerable improvements for practical applications. Various approaches are being developed for the synthesis of nanostructured composites. Coordination polymers (CPs) emerged as new precursors in solid-state reactions for nanomaterials nearly two decades ago; the repetitively arranged inorganic and organic units can facilitate the production of nanoscale particles and porous carbon upon thermal decomposition. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a subgroup of CPs featuring crystalline and porous structures, have subsequently become primary objects of interest in this field, as can be seen by the rapidly increasing number of reports on this topic. However, unique composite materials with increasingly complex nanostructures, which cannot be achieved via conventional methods, have been rarely realised, even though conventional MOF research has enabled the delicate control of structures at the molecular level and extensive applications as templates. In this regard, a comprehensive review of the fabrication strategies of MOF-based precursors and the thermal transformation into functional nanomaterials is provided herein, with a particular emphasis on the recent developments in nanocomposite research. We briefly introduce the roles and capabilities of MOFs in the synthesis of nanomaterials and subsequently discuss diverse synthetic routes for obtaining morphologically or compositionally advanced composite nanomaterials, based on our understanding of the MOF conversion mechanism.

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
Iron, N-codoped carbon materials (Fe-N-C) are promising electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reactions due to their high atom utilization efficiency and intrinsic activity. Nanostructuring of the Fe-N-C materials, such as introducing porosity into the carbon structure, would be conducive to further increasing the exposure of active sites as well as improving the mass transfer. Herein, we explore the potential of iron complex-functionalized micelles of mesoporous SiO2 as a platform for constructing porous Fe-N-C materials. The classical three-dimensional MCM-48 was selected as a proof-of-concept example, which was utilized as the hard template, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide micelles inside it played the role of the main carbon source. Fe-Nx sites were derived from Fe-1,10-phenanthroline complexes in the micelles introduced by in situ incorporation of 1,10-phenanthroline and post Fe2+ insertion in an aqueous solution. After thermal annealing in a nitrogen atmosphere and subsequent removal of the MCM-48 framework, a carbon material that possesses porous structural features with uniformly dispersed Fe-Nx sites (MPC@PhFe) was obtained, which shows superior ORR activity in a 0.1 M KOH solution and great potential for Zn-air battery applications as well. This work demonstrates the feasibility as well as the effectiveness of turning micelles of mesoporous SiO2 into porous carbon structures and might offer a universal strategy for manufacturing carbon materials for future application in energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
Developing a scalable approach to construct efficient and multifunctional electrodes for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an urgent need for overall water splitting and zinc-air batteries. In this work, a freestanding 3D heterostructure film is synthesized from a Ni-centered metal-organic framework (MOF)/graphene oxide. During the pyrolysis process, 1D carbon nanotubes formed from the MOF link with the 2D reduced graphene oxide sheets to stitch the 3D freestanding film. The results of the experiments and theoretical calculations show that the synergistic effect of the N-doped carbon shell and Ni nanoparticles leads to an optimized film with excellent electrocatalytic activity. Low overpotentials of 95 and 260 mV are merely needed for HER and OER, respectively, to reach a current density of 10 mA cm-2 . In addition, a high half-wave potential of 0.875 V is obtained for the ORR, which is comparable to that of Pt/RuO2 and ranks among the top of non-noble-metal catalysts. The use of an "all-in-one" film as the electrode leads to excellent performance of the homemade water electrolyzer and zinc-air battery, indicating the potential of the film for practical applications.

Abstract
The design and fabrication of low-cost, efficient, and robust electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is of great importance in accelerating the development of water electrolysis technology. Herein, NiRu alloy nanostructures embedded in a nitrogen-doped carbon matrix (NiRu@NC) have been fabricated through a facile metal-organic framework-derived (MOF-derived) strategy. Benefiting from their advantages in the unique structures and components, the resulting NiRu@NC possesses excellent activity and durability towards the HER, which exhibits low overpotentials of 85 and 53 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in acidic and alkaline electrolytes, respectively. Furthermore, NiRu2@NC-600 also exhibits excellent hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) activity in an alkaline electrolyte. Therefore, this work provides a facile MOF-derived strategy for the design and synthesis of low-cost and efficient electrocatalysts for the HER.

Abstract
This paper reports a general electrospinning method to prepare various metal phosphide/carbon nanofibers composite for electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts. An earth-abundant organic acid-phytic acid is successfully incorporated into a conventional electrospinning precursor as the phosphorus source, and continuous nanofibers can be obtained through spinning. After heat treatment, metal phosphide/carbon composite nanofibers can be obtained, with fine phosphide nanoparticles well dispersed on the surface of an interconnected carbon backbone network. Such fibrous structures offer fast charge transfer pathways and enlarged active surface area, which are beneficial for electrocatalysts. As a result, enhance HER catalytic activity can be achieved.

Abstract
Replacing the sluggish anode reaction in water electrolysis with thermodynamically favorable hydrazine oxidation could achieve energy-efficient H2 production, while the shortage of bifunctional catalysts limits its scale development. Here, we presented the scalable one-pot synthesis of partially exposed RuP2 nanoparticle-decorated carbon porous microsheets, which can act as the superior bifunctional catalyst outperforming Pt/C for both hydrazine oxidation reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction, where an ultralow working potential of -70 mV and an ultrasmall overpotential of 24 mV for 10 mA cm-2 can be achieved. The two-electrode electrolyzer can reach 10 mA cm-2 with a record-low cell voltage of 23 mV and an ultrahigh current density of 522 mA cm-2 at 1.0 V. The DFT calculations unravel the notability of partial exposure in the hybrid structure, as the exposed Ru atoms are the active sites for hydrazine dehydrogenation, while the C atoms exhibit a more thermoneutral value for H* adsorption.

Abstract
Exploitation of high-efficiency and low-cost catalysts for dehydrogenation of the ideal hydrogen storage material (ammonia borane) can effectively promote the development of hydrogen economy. Here, we report an efficient and economical non-noble-metal magnetic catalyst (Ni0.23Co0.19P0.58@NHPC900) with nanoparticles uniformly distributed on MOF-derived (metal-organic framework) nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbon (NHPC900) by a one-step in situ synthesis method. The catalyst has achieved a superior initial total turnover frequency (TOF) of 125.2 molH2·molcat-1·min-1. Based on isotopic analyses and ion effects, we further obtain an unprecedentedly higher TOF of 282.4 molH2·molcat-1·min-1, the highest among non-noble-metal heterogeneous systems. Through experiments and theoretical studies, we confirm that the highly doped phosphorus component leads to a C-P-Ni-Co quaternary synergy in the catalyst. Then, the induced strong electron transfer and increased partial charge can reduce the reaction energy barrier, strengthen the adsorption of ammonia borane, and ultimately result in superior catalytic performance. The proposed mechanisms and strategies are helpful to develop non-noble-metal catalysts for practical applications of hydrogen energy systems in the future.

Abstract
Water electrolysis is an advanced and sustainable energy conversion technology used to generate H2 . However, the low efficiency of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) hampers the overall water-splitting catalytic performance. Here, a hybrid catalyst was constructed from N-doped CoS2 nanoparticles on N,S-co-doped graphene nanosheets (N-CoS2 /G) using a facile method, and the catalyst exhibited excellent bifunctional activity. Introduction of N atoms not only promoted the adsorption of reaction intermediates, but also bridged the CoS2 nanoparticles and graphene to improve electron transfer. Moreover, using thiourea as both N- and S-source ensured synthesis of much smaller-sized nanoparticles with more surface active sites. Surprisingly, the N-CoS2 /G exhibited superior catalytic activity with a low overpotential of 260 mV for the OER and 109 mV for the HER at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 . The assembled N-CoS2 /G : N-CoS2 /G electrolyzer substantially expedited overall water splitting with a voltage requirement of 1.58 V to reach 10 mA cm-2 , which is superior to most reported Co-based bifunctional catalysts and other non-precious-metal catalysts. This work provides a new strategy towards advanced bifunctional catalysts for water electrolysis.

Abstract
Developing efficient and low-cost replacements for precious metals as electrocatalysts active in electrochemical reactions-the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)-is a top priority in renewable energy technology. In this work a highly active and very stable trifunctional electrocatalyst composed of Co2 P embedded in Co, N, and P multi-doped carbon has been synthesized using zeolitic imidazolate frameworks as precursors. The synergistic effects between Co2 P and the multi-heteroatom-doped carbon substrates afford materials having electrocatalytic activities for HER, OER, and ORR, which are comparable-or even superior to-those of commercial RuO2 or Pt/C catalysts. Density functional theory calculations show that Co2 P has a higher density of states at the Fermi level than Con P (0 < n < 2), which promotes electron transfer and intermediates adsorption in the catalytic process. Zinc-air batteries and water splitting devices assembled using the materials as electrode electrocatalysts show good performance and outstanding stability. This work represents a breakthrough in improving the catalytic performance of non-precious metal electrocatalysts for OER, HER, and ORR, and opens new avenues for clean energy generation.

Abstract
Conversion-type transition-metal phosphide anode materials with high theoretical capacity usually suffer from low-rate capability and severe capacity decay, which are mainly caused by their inferior electronic conductivities and large volumetric variations together with the poor reversibility of discharge product (Li3P), impeding their practical applications. Herein, guided by density functional theory calculations, these obstacles are simultaneously mitigated by confining amorphous FeP nanoparticles into ultrathin 3D interconnected P-doped porous carbon nanosheets (denoted as FeP@CNs) via a facile approach, forming an intriguing 3D flake-CNs-like configuration. As an anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the resulting FeP@CNs electrode not only reaches a high reversible capacity (837 mA h g-1 after 300 cycles at 0.2 A g-1) and an exceptional rate capability (403 mA h g-1 at 16 A g-1) but also exhibits extraordinary durability (2500 cycles, 563 mA h g-1 at 4 A g-1, 98% capacity retention). By combining DFT calculations, in situ transmission electron microscopy, and a suite of ex situ microscopic and spectroscopic techniques, we show that the superior performances of FeP@CNs anode originate from its prominent structural and compositional merits, which render fast electron/ion-transport kinetics and abundant active sites (amorphous FeP nanoparticles and structural defects in P-doped CNs) for charge storage, promote the reversibility of conversion reactions, and buffer the volume variations while preventing pulverization/aggregation of FeP during cycling, thus enabling a high rate and highly durable lithium storage. Furthermore, a full cell composed of the prelithiated FeP@CNs anode and commercial LiFePO4 cathode exhibits impressive rate performance while maintaining superior cycling stability. This work fundamentally and experimentally presents a facile and effective structural engineering strategy for markedly improving the performance of conversion-type anodes for advanced LIBs.

Abstract
Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have received considerable attention owing to their great potential in energy conversion and storage technologies. Elaborate design and synthesis of various TMPs with abundant structures in order to meet the requirements of various applications is one of the major goals and challenges of sustainable chemistry. In this work, an electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) approach has been developed and has been demonstrated to be a general strategy to fabricate TMPs for the first time. Various bicontinuous TMPs/carbon nanocomposites can be constructed by this approach. This novel architecture, when applied in energy storage systems, can provide an efficient electron/ion mixed-conducting network, thereby inducing fast electron/ion transfer kinetics and enhancing the structural stability upon long term cycling. As proof of concept application, 3D porous Cu3P/rGO nanocomposites as modeling anodes for Na-ion storage show excellent cycling performance and remarkable rate capacities. The sodium storage mechanism is proposed to be a reversible conversion reaction. The microstructural evolution of the electrodes upon cycling correlates well with the capacity variation. The facile and versatile ESD technique is quite universal and can be further extended to various TMPs. This opens exciting opportunities for the incorporation of TMPs in a variety of new applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been at the center stage of material science in the recent past because of their structural properties and wide applications in catalysis. MOFs have also been used as hard templates for the preparation of catalysts. In this study, highly active CuPt/NC electrocatalyst was synthesized by pyrolyzing Cu-tpa MOF along with Pt precursor under flowing Ar-H2 atmosphere. The catalyst was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Rotating disk electrode study was performed to determine the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity for CuPt/NC in 0.1 M HClO4 at different revolutions per minute (400, 800, 1200, and 1600) and it was also compared with commercial Pt/C catalyst. Further the ORR performance was evaluated by K-L plots and Tafel slope. CuPt/NC shows excellent ORR performance with onset potential of 0.9 V (vs. RHE), which is comparable with commercial Pt/C. The ORR activity of CuPt/NC is demonstrated as an efficient electrocatalyst for fuel cell.

Abstract
As hydrogen has been increasingly considered as promising sustainable energy supply, electrochemical overall water splitting driven by highly efficient non-noble metal electrocatalysts has aroused extensive attention. Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have demonstrated remarkable electrocatalytic performance, including high activity and robust durability towards hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic and alkaline as well as neutral electrolytes. In this Review, up-to-date progress of TMP-based HER electrocatalysts is summarized. Various synthesis strategies of TMPs based on selected phosphorus sources are presented, and the reaction mechanisms of HER as well as the contribution of phosphorus in the TMPs to HER activity are briefly discussed. The multiscale approaches for promoting the activity and stability of TMP-based catalysts are discussed with respect to intrinsic electronic structure, hybrids, microstructure, and working electrode interface. Some crucial issues and future perspectives of TMPs are pointed out. These modulated approaches and challenges are also instructive for constructing other high-activity energy-related electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Conspicuously, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) serve as homogenously and periodically atom-dispersed self-sacrificial template for in situ engineering of hierarchical porous carbon-encapsulated micro/nanoheterostructure materials, integrating the merits of micro/nanostructure to high-volumetric energy storage. Copper phosphide represents a promising candidate due to its compact material density compared to commercial graphite. Herein, micro/nanostructured Cu3P/Cu encapsulated by carbon-nanotube-assembled hierarchical octahedral carbonaceous matrix (Cu3P/Cu@CNHO) is constructed by an in situ MOF-derived engineering for novel anode material in LIBs, which achieves an extraordinary cycling stability (a well-maintained gravimetric/volumetric capacity of 463.2 mAh g-1/1878.4 mAh cm-3 at 1 A g-1 up to 1600 cycles) and distinguished rate capability (an ameliorated capacity of 317.7 mAh g-1 even at 10 A g-1), together with unprecedented heat-resistant capability (an elevated temperature of 50 °C for 1000 cycles maintaining 434.7 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1). The superior electrochemical performance of Cu3P/Cu@CNHO is credited to the large specific surface area, conductive carbon matrix and metallic copper dopants, synergistic effects of the intrinsic Cu3P/Cu heterostructure, and well-defined micro/nanostructure, facilitating a boosted electrochemical conductivity and accelerated diffusion kinetics.

Abstract
Constructing highly efficient and low-cost transition-metal-based electrocatalysts with a large number of interfaces to increase their active site densities constitutes a major advancement in the development of water-splitting technology. Herein, a bimetallic phosphide composite (Co2P@NC-Fe2P) is successfully synthesized from a ferric hydroxyphosphate-zeolitic imidazolate framework hybrid precursor (FeHP-ZIF-67). Benefitting from morphology and composition regulations, the FeHP-ZIF-67 precursor is prepared by a room-temperature solution synthesis method, which exhibits an optimal morphology, where FeHP microspheres are coated with excess ZIF-67 nanoparticles. During the annealing of FeHP-ZIF-67, FeHP serves as a source of phosphorus to form Fe2P and Co2P simultaneously, where Co2P nanoparticles coated with an N-doped carbon (NC) matrix derived from ZIF-67 are partially adsorbed onto the surface of Fe2P microspheres, thereby forming numerous NC-Fe2P interfaces. The optimal Co2P@NC-Fe2P composite has an overpotential of 260 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, a small Tafel slope of 41 mV dec-1, and long-term stability of over 35 h in an alkaline medium for oxygen evolution reactions (OERs). Such a superior OER performance is attributed to the active NC-Fe2P interfaces in the Co2P@NC-Fe2P composite. This work provides a new strategy to optimize transition-metal phosphides with effective interfaces for OER electrocatalysis.

Abstract
The development of high-performance but low-cost catalysts for the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of central importance for realizing the prevailing application of metal-air batteries. Herein a facile route is devised to synthesize S, N codoped carbon cubes embedding Co-Fe carbides by pyrolyzing the Co-Fe Prussian blue analogues (PBA) coated with methionine. Via the strong metal-sulfur interaction, the methionine coating provides a robust sheath to restrain the cubic morphology of PBA upon pyrolysis, which is proved highly beneficial for promoting the specific surface area and active sites exposure, leading to remarkable bifunctionality of ORR and OER comparable to the benchmarks of Pt/C and RuO2 . Further elaborative investigations on the activity origin and postelectrolytic composition unravel that for ORR the high activity is mainly contributed by the S, N codoped carbon shell with the inactive carbide phase converting into carbonate hydroxides. For OER, the embedded Co-Fe carbides transform in situ into layered (hydr)oxides, serving as the actual active sites for promoting water oxidation. Zn-air batteries employing the developed hollow structure as the air cathode catalyst demonstrate superb rechargeability, energy efficiency, as well as portability.

Abstract
Biomass-derived approaches have been accepted as a practical way for the design of transitional metal phosphides confined by carbon matrix (TMPs@C) as energy storage materials. Herein, we successfully synthesize P/N-co-doped carbon nanosheets encapsulating Cu3P nanoparticles (Cu3P@P/N-C) by a feasible aqueous reaction followed by a phosphorization procedure using sodium alginate as the biomass carbon source. Cu-alginate hydrogel balls can be squeezed into two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets through a freeze–drying process. Then, Cu3P@P/N-C was obtained after the phosphorization procedure. This rationally designed structure not only improved the kinetics of ion/electron transportation but also buffered the volume expansion of Cu3P nanoparticles during the continuous charge and discharge processes. In addition, the 2D P/N co-doped carbon nanosheets can also serve as a conductive matrix, which can enhance the electronic conductivity of the whole electrode as well as provide rapid channels for electron/ion diffusion. Thus, when applied as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries, it exhibited remarkable cycling stability and rate performance. Prominently, Cu3P@P/N-C demonstrated an outstanding reversible capacity of 209.3 mAh g−1 at 1 A g−1 after 1,000 cycles. Besides, it still maintained a superior specific capacity of 118.2 mAh g−1 after 2,000 cycles, even at a high current density of 5 A g−1.

Abstract
The development of low-cost and highly efficient electrocatalysts via an eco-friendly synthetic method is of great significance for future renewable energy storage and conversion systems. Herein, cobalt phosphides confined in porous P-doped carbon materials (Co-P@PC) are fabricated by calcinating the cobalt-phosphonate complex formed between 1-hydroxyethylidenediphosphonic acid and Co(NO3 )2 in alkaline solution. The P-containing ligand in the complex acts as the carbon source as well as in situ phosphorizing agent for the formation of cobalt phosphides and doping P element into carbon material upon calcination. The Co-P@PC exhibits high activity for all-pH hydrogen evolution reaction (overpotentials of 72, 85, and 76 mV in acidic, neutral, and alkaline solutions at the current density of 10 mA cm-2 ) and oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline solution (an overpotential of 280 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm-2 ). The alkaline electrolyzer assembled from the Co-P@PC electrodes delivers the current density of 10 mA cm-2 at the voltage of 1.60 V with a durability of 60 h. The excellent activity and long-term stability of the Co-P@PC derives from the synergistic effect between the active cobalt phosphides and the porous P-doped carbon matrix.

Abstract
Highly active catalyst for the hydrogen oxidation/evolution reactions (HOR and HER) plays an essential role for the water-to-hydrogen reversible conversion. Currently, increasing attention has been concentrated on developing low-cost, high-activity, and long-life catalytic materials, especially for acid media due to the promise of proton exchange membrane (PEM)-based electrolyzers and polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Although non-precious-metal phosphide (NPMP) catalysts have been widely researched, their electrocatalytic activity toward HER is still not satisfactory compared to that of Pt catalysts. Herein, a series of precious-metal phosphides (PMPs) supported on graphene (rGO), including IrP2-rGO, Rh2P-rGO, RuP-rGO, and Pd3P-rGO, are prepared by a simple, facile, eco-friendly, and scalable approach. As an example, the resultant IrP2-rGO displays better HER electrocatalytic performance and longer durability than the benchmark materials of commercial Pt/C under acidic, neutral, and basic electrolytes. To attain a current density of 10 mA cm-2, IrP2-rGO shows overpotentials of 8, 51, and 13 mV in 0.5 M dilute sulfuric acid, 1.0 M phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and 1.0 M potassium hydroxide solutions, respectively. Additionally, IrP2-rGO also exhibits exceptional HOR performance in the 0.1 M HClO4 medium. Therefore, this work offers a vital addition to the development of a number of PMPs with excellent activity toward HOR and HER.

Abstract
The Co/N-doped carbon material, as an important electrocatalytic material, has been attracted intense interest in ORR and Zn-air battery. Here, we report an efficient Co@N-doped carbon catalyst (Co@N-C-1) obtained by pyrolysis of ZIF precursor with 2-aminobenzimidazole. The introduction of 2-aminobenzimidazole results in the formation of hierarchical meso/microporous structure of the as-prepared Co@N-C-1, effectively avoiding the aggregation of Co nanoparticles during pyrolysis and the higher N content, which contributes to enhance the ORR electrocatalytic activities. The obtained Co@N-C-1 exhibits remarkable ORR performance with a half-wave potential of 0.938 V vs RHE in alkaline media. As the air catalyst of zinc-air batteries, Co@N-C-1 displays 1.439 V of open-circuit voltage and 1413.3 Wh·kg-1 of energy density.

Abstract
The use of 2 D transition metal carbide MXenes as support materials to incorporate catalytically active compounds is of interest because of their unique properties. However, the preparation of well-dispersed catalytic phases on the inter-connected porous MXene network is challenging and has been rarely explored. This work focuses on the synthesis of basal-plane-porous titanium carbide MXene (ac-Ti3 C2 ) that is used subsequently as an effective host for the incorporation of a known catalytically active phase (IrCo) as an effective bifunctional electrocatalyst toward water splitting. The porous ac-Ti3 C2 with abundant macro/meso/micropores is prepared by a wet chemical method at room temperature and provides ideal anchor sites for intimate chemical bonding with alien compounds. The resulting IrCo@ac-Ti3 C2 electrocatalyst exhibits an excellent reactivity (220 mV at 10 mA cm-2 ) towards the oxygen evolution reaction in 1.0 m KOH, which surpasses that of the benchmark RuO2 , a low voltage cell of 1.57 V (@ 10 mA cm-2 ) and good long-term durability. Our work demonstrates the effectiveness of porosity engineering in MXene nanosheets as a support material to shorten ion migration pathways, to increase electrolyte accessibility between inter-sheets and to overcome inherited re-stacking and aggregation issues.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derivatives with excellent dimension-related properties, e.g. high surface areas, abundantly accessible metal nodes, and tailorable structures, have attracted intensive attention as energy storage materials and electrocatalysts. A major challenge on the road toward the commercialization of 2D MOFs and their derivatives is to achieve the facile and controllable synthesis of 2D MOFs with high quality and at low cost. Significant developments have been made in the synthesis and applications of 2D MOFs and their derivatives in recent years. In this review, we first discuss the state-of-the-art synthetic strategies (including both top-down and bottom-up approaches) for 2D MOFs. Subsequently, we review the most recent application progress of 2D MOFs and their derivatives in the fields of electrochemical energy storage (e.g., batteries and supercapacitors) and electrocatalysis (of classical reactions such as the HER, OER, ORR, and CO2RR). Finally, the challenges and promising strategies for the synthesis and applications of 2D MOFs and their derivatives are addressed for future development.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received significant attention as promising precursors or sacrificial templates in the preparation of porous carbon supported catalysts. In this study, N-doped porous carbon supported Ni catalysts (denoted as Ni/NC) were prepared using furfuryl alcohol (FA) loaded Ni-MOF-74 as the precursor followed by NH4OH treatment and pyrolysis under N2 atmosphere. For comparison purpose, Ni catalysts supported on porous carbon (denoted as Ni/C) were also prepared by direct pyrolysis of Ni-MOF-74. The selective gas phase catalytic hydrodechlorination of 1,2-dichloroethane to ethylene was carried out to evaluate the catalytic performances of the catalysts. It was found that for Ni catalysts prepared at the same pyrolysis temperature, Ni particle sizes in Ni/NC catalysts were significantly smaller (20-40% smaller) than that of Ni/C. This reflected that pre-modification of Ni-MOF-74 using FA and NH4OH could effectively increase Ni dispersion in Ni catalysts derived from Ni-MOF-74. Moreover, Ni/NC had a markedly stronger ability to form spillover H2 owing to the enhanced metal-support interactions by N-doping. Accordingly, Ni/NC catalysts exhibited much higher catalytic activities than Ni/C catalysts. The turnover frequencies of Ni/NC catalysts were found to be 1.22-1.65 times higher than Ni/C catalysts. Increasing pyrolysis temperature led to decreased catalytic activities of both Ni/C and Ni/NC catalysts, due to the aggregation of Ni particles at higher treatment temperature. The findings from this study demonstrate that the MOF-mediated synthesis method offers a promising way to prepare Ni-based catalysts for catalytic hydrodechlorination of chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Abstract
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an extremely important reaction in many renewable energy-related devices. The sluggish kinetics of the ORR limits the development of many fuel cells. Design and synthesis of highly efficient nonprecious electrocatalysts are of vital importance for electrochemical reduction of oxygen. Herein, we develop a graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)-derived bamboo-like carbon nanotubes/carbon-wrapped Co nanoparticles (BCNT/Co) electrocatalyst by a simple high-temperature pyrolysis and acid-leaching method. The catalytic performance of the as-designed electrocatalyst toward ORR outperforms the commercial Pt/C catalyst in alkaline solution. The onset potential of nonprecious BCNT/Co-800 catalyst was 1.12 V. The half-wave potential was 0.881 V. The result was superior to that of commercial Pt/C (0.827 V vs RHE). The Co nanoparticles, bamboo-like carbon nanotubes, defects, and Co-Nx active sites all result in the remarkable ORR activity, stability, and great methanol tolerance.

Abstract
It is well-known that the formation of ferroalloy with the addition of the second or third metal during the steel-making process usually can improve the performance of the iron. Inspired by ferroalloy materials, it is speculated that the pore environment, framework charge, and catalytic properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could be optimized dramatically via the introduction of ferroalloy-like inorganic building blocks. However, different to ferroalloy, the accurate integration of different metals into one MOF platform is still challenging. Herein, taking advantages of the good compatibility for metals in trigonal prismatic trinuclear cluster, a series of Fe-based alloy-like [M3O(O2C)6] motifs (M3 = Fe3, Fe1.5Ni1.5, Fe1.5Co1.5, Fe1.5Ti1.5, FeCoNi, and FeTiCo) are successfully generated, which further lead to a robust Fe-MOF material family (SNNU-5s). These multicomponent MOFs not only provide a good chance to explore the impact of pore environment on gas adsorption/separation but also offer an opportunity to the efficient electrocatalytic reaction directly. Accordingly, compared with the SNNU-5-Fe parent structure, the pore characters of heterometallic SNNU-5 MOFs are clearly regulated by the type of alloy-like building blocks. SNNU-5-FeTi displays more superior gas separation performance for CO2/CH4, C2H2/CH4, C2H4/CH4, and C2H2/CO2 gas mixtures. What is more, benefited from the multimetallic active sites and their catalytic synergy, FeCoNi-ternary alloy-like cluster-based SNNU-5 MOF material exhibits an exceptional oxygen evolution reaction activity in aqueous solution at pH = 13, which delivers a low overpotential (ηj=10 = 317 mV), a fast reaction kinetics (Tafel slope = 37 mV dec-1), and excellent catalytic stability. This facile multialloy-like building block strategy holds promise to accurately design and improve the performance of MOFs, as well as open an avenue to understand the related mechanisms.

Abstract
Hydrogen gas produced by electrolysis has been considered as an excellent alternative to fossil fuels. Developing non-noble metal catalysts with high electrocatalytic activities is an effective way to reduce the cost of hydrogen production. Recently, black phosphorus (BP) based materials have been reported to have good potential as electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we systematically study the catalytic performance of monolayer BP (phosphorene) and several chemically modified phosphorenes (N/S/C/O doping and adsorbed NH2/OH functional groups) for HER on the basis of first-principles calculations. For pristine phosphorene, the armchair edge shows much better catalytic activity than the plane site and zigzag edge. The electronic states of phosphorene near the Fermi level are strongly influenced by chemical modifications. Both of doping heteroatoms into the lattice and introducing NH2/OH functional groups can effectively improve the catalytic performance of the plane site and zigzag edge site, but slightly degrade the armchair edge. These theoretical results shed light on the microscopic understanding of the active sites in BP based electrocatalysts for HER and pave the way for further improving their catalytic performance.

Abstract
Developing efficient and durable bifunctional transition metal phosphide (TMP) electrocatalysts is still a great challenge because of its relatively sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we report a unique bimetallic diphosphide pair (FeP2-NiP2) forming spherical nanocages encapsulated in P-doped carbon layers (FeP2-NiP2@PC) as advanced bifunctional electrocatalyst synthesized by a very facile phosphorization approach. The obtained FeP2-NiP2@PC electrocatalyst exhibits an outstanding OER activity with an ultralow overpotential of 248 mV in 1 M KOH and a low overpotential of 117 mV for HER in 0.5 M H2SO4 (@10 mA·cm-2). Also it gives an exceptional long-term durability toward OER (60 h) and HER (20 h). Differently from the electrocatalysts as reported, after successive 3000 cycles CV acceleration, its overpotential decreases about 10 mV. Further investigation unveils that the electrochemical activation process boosts in situ phase transformation of oxides and phosphides to oxyhydroxides as the vital intermediates in FeP2-NiP2@PC during OER electrocatalysis. The direct observation of vital intermediates has been rarely reported on Fe/Ni-based phosphide electrocatalysts. Our exploration demonstrates an extraordinarily efficient and stable nonprecious TMP bifunctional electrocatalyst and provides a novel prospect to shed light on the intrinsic OER electrocatalytic behavior of Fe/Ni-based phosphide electrocatalysts.
