Abstract
Next-generation electrocatalysts with smart integrated designs, maximizing the chemical cascade synergy for sustainable hydrogen production, are needed to address the urgent environmental threats, but scalable synthesis of precisely architectured nanohybrids rendering a few-nanometer interfacial controllability to augment the catalytic reactivity and operational stability is a major bottleneck. Herein, by inventing a surface-confined lateral growth of nanometer-thin and nanoporous two-dimensional (2D)-Pt on NiFe-LDH nanosheets, a highly reactive 2D-2D interfacially integrated nanoplatform is synthesized for an alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) which not only extracts high Pt-atomic utilization efficiency but also synergistically accelerates the water dissociation and hydrogen generation cascade on the colocalized Pt/M(OH)x active sites, endowing a 6.1-fold higher Pt mass activity than 20% Pt/C and also empowers a record-high HER operational stability for 50 h, due to the chemically enforced lamellar architecture. This work offers a gateway to produce active metal nanosheets tailored with a suitable active-template surface in order to invent and enforce futuristic catalysis technologies.

Abstract
In this work, the transfer of the flexible and easily tunable hierarchical structure of nickel organochalcogenides to different binary Ni-based nanomaterials via selective coupling of organic units was developed. We suggested the use of substituted aryl groups in organosulfur ligands (SAr) as traceless structure-inducing units to prepare nanostructured materials. At the first step, it was shown that the slight variation of the type of SAr units and synthetic procedures allowed us to obtain nickel thiolates [Ni(SAr)2]n with diverse morphologies after a self-assembly process in solution. This feature opened the way for the synthesis of different nanomaterials from a single type of precursor using the phenomenon of direct transfer of morphology. This study revealed that various nickel thiolates undergo selective C-S coupling under high-temperature conditions with the formation of highly demanding nanostructured NiS particles and corresponding diaryl sulfides. The in situ oxidation of the formed nickel sulfide in the case of reaction in an air atmosphere provided another type of valuable nanomaterial, nickel oxide. The high selectivity of the transformation allowed the preservation of the initial organochalcogenide morphologies in the resulting products.

Abstract
The ever-increasing need for the production and expenditure of sustainable energy is a result of the astonishing rate of consumption of fossil fuels and the accompanying environmental problems. Emphasis is being directed to the generation of sustainable energy by the fuel cell and water splitting technologies. Accordingly, the development of highly efficient electrocatalysts has attracted significant interest, as the fuel cell and water splitting technologies are critically dependent on their performance. Among numerous catalyst designs under investigation, nanoframe catalysts have an intrinsically large surface area per volume and a tunable composition, which impacts the number of catalytically active sites and their intrinsic catalytic activity, respectively. Nevertheless, the structural integrity of the nanoframe during electrochemical operation is an ongoing concern. Some significant advances in the field of nanoframe catalysts have been recently accomplished, specifically geared to resolving the catalytic stability concerns and significantly boosting the intrinsic catalytic activity of the active sites. Herein, general synthetic concepts of nanoframe structures and their structure-dependent catalytic performance are summarized, along with recent notable advances in this field. A discussion on the remaining challenges and future directions, addressing the limitations of nanoframe catalysts, are also provided.

Abstract
High-performance electrocatalysts are of critical importance for fuel cells. Morphological modulation of the catalyst materials is a rare but feasible strategy to improve their performance. In this work, Pt nanowire arrays are directly synthesized with a template-less wet chemical method. The effects of surface functionalization and the reduction kinetics are revealed to be vital to the nanowire growth. The growth mechanism of the Pt nanowires is studied. By adjusting the concentration of the organic ligands, Pt nanowire arrays with tunable surface roughness can be obtained on various substrate surfaces. Such arrays avoid the contact resistance of randomly packed particles and allow open diffusion channels for reactants and products alike, making them excellent electrocatalysts for the methanol oxidation reaction. In particular, Pt nanowire arrays with rough surface have a mass activity of 1.24 A mgPt -1 at 1.12 V (vs Ag/AgCl), 3.18-fold higher than that of the commercial Pt/C catalysts. It also shows more resistant against poisoning, as indicated by the higher If /Ib ratio (2.06), in comparison to the Pt/C catalysts (1.30).

Abstract
Metal nanocrystals have been extensively explored as efficient and tailorable electrocatalysts for various sustainable energy technologies. Precise understanding of molecular interactions at the electrode-electrolyte interfaces during electrochemical processes, which mostly relies on the interpretation of spectroscopic surface information, is crucial to the innovations in catalyst design and optimization of reaction conditions. Here, we demonstrate the first in situ electrical transport evidence of pH-dependent surface anionic adsorptions on metal nanoparticles (MNPs), enabled by the on-chip electrical transport spectroscopy (ETS) of continuous nanoparticle (NP) thin films. Our results on platinum and gold NPs reveal the significant (and distinct) impacts of acid-base environments on their surface adsorption features, which contributes to the further understanding of gold- and platinum-based electrocatalytic systems. The successful employment of ETS on metal nanoparticles achieves a more general transport-based signaling technique that conveniently fits the abundance of catalytic materials with zero-dimension morphology.

Abstract
We present that activation of CoMoO4-based microrod arrays in KOH (1.0 M, 2 h) allows us to significantly improve their electrochemical hydrogen evolution performance in phosphate buffer solution (1.0 M, pH = 7.1). The activation mechanism originates from the conversion of the surface layer of CoMoO4 to Co(OH)2 nanosheets, together with the release of Mo3O102- ions into the activation solution. Our experimental and calculated results suggest that the Co(OH)2 nanosheets on the surface of the CoMoO4-based microrod arrays show the ability to improve water molecule disassociation and stabilize the catalytic activity of the two-component catalysts by decreasing their overpotentials in the hydrogen evolution reaction. When extending this strategy to activate P-doped CoMoO4 with a low hydrogen absorption free energy, we report the synthesis of a new class of superior neutral electrochemical hydrogen evolution catalysts of P-doped CoMoO4-Co(OH)2 microrod arrays. We show that a low overpotential of about 30 mV (obtained from bulk electrolysis) is required to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in the neutral media. By making use of our catalyst and NiFe double hydroxide as cathodic and anodic electrodes, respectively, we fabricated a two-electrode electrolysis device for neutral overall water splitting. Our results showed a low cell voltage of 1.78 V (obtained from bulk electrolysis) that is needed for delivering a current density of about 10 mA cm-2 in the neutral electrolyte, even outperforming the state-of-the-art catalyst combination of Pt/C∥RuO2 in terms of catalytic activity and stability. These findings suggest that our strategy may be utilized as a facile but useful strategy toward the activation of molybdate catalysts to improve their HER performance in both basic and neutral media.

Abstract
Electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) provides a facile and sustainable route to synthesize ammonia. The preparation of efficient and high-performance catalysts is one of the most important issues in large-scale applications of the electrochemical synthesis of ammonia. Herein, we have devised a simple method to fabricate three-dimensional palladium-silver-sulphur porous nanosponges (Pd-Ag-S PNSs) under room temperature. The porous network can provide more active sites and accessible channels for the reaction species. The incorporation of sulfur reduces the energy barrier of NRR and promotes the nitrogen hydrogenation to ammonia. Intrinsically, the Pd-Ag-S PNSs demonstrates a superior NRR performance with an NH3 yield of 9.73 μg h-1 mg-1cat. and a faradaic efficiency of 18.41% at -0.2 V, superior to those of the undoped Pd-Ag PNSs. The design of the three-dimensional metallic nanosponges with the doping of nonmetallic elements is a highly valuable strategy for NRR and other electrocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
Exploring the highly efficient and durable electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is vitally necessary for sustainable energy conversion and storage system. Herein, we fabricate an interfacial engineered Rh-carbon nitride as advanced electrocatalysts for HER in the acidic and alkaline electrolytes. The interface between Rh nanocrystals and carbon nitride may adjust the electronic structure of Rh, which results in high activity for HER. The optimal Rh-carbon nitride shows low overpotential at current density of -10 mA·cm-2 and small Tafel slope (13 mV and 25.0 mV dec-1 in 0.5 M H2SO4, 46 mV and 42.0 mV dec-1 in 1.0 M KOH, respectively), which is superior to that of commercial Pt/C (21 mV and 28.5 mV dec-1 in 0.5 M H2SO4, 55 mV and 44.0 mV dec-1 in 1.0 M KOH, respectively). Importantly, this composite also exhibits long-term stability in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1.0 M KOH. The excellent HER performances can be attribute to the interface between Rh and carbon nitride, which downshifts their d-band center positions, tuning the adsorption ability for hydrogen and accelerating the HER kinetics. This work may open up an efficient method to design metal/carbon hybrid for electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Constructing heterostructures with abundant interfaces is essential for integrating the multiple functionalities in single entities. Herein, the synthesis of NiSe2 /CoSe2 heterostructures with different interfacial densities via an innovative strategy of successive ion injection is reported. The resulting hybrid electrocatalyst with dense heterointerfaces exhibits superior electrocatalytic properties in an alkaline electrolyte, superior to other benchmarks and precious metal catalysts. Advanced synchrotron techniques, post structural characterizations, and density functional theory (DFT) simulations reveal that the introduction of atomic-level interfaces can lower the oxidation overpotential of bimetallic Ni and Co active sites (whereas Ni2+ can be more easily activated than Co2+ ) and induce the electronic interaction between the core selenides and surface in situ generated oxides/hydroxides, which play a critical role in synergistically reducing energetic barriers and accelerating reaction kinetics for catalyzing the oxygen evolution. Hence, the heterointerface structure facilitates the catalytic performance enhancement via increasing the intrinsic reactivity of metallic atoms and enhancing the synergistic effect between the inner selenides and surface oxidation species. This work not only complements the understanding on the origins of the activity of electrocatalysts based on metal selenides, but also sheds light on further surface and interfacial engineering of advanced hybrid materials.

Abstract
Developing efficient earth-abundant MoS2 based hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts is important but challenging due to the sluggish kinetics in alkaline media. Herein, a strategy to fabricate a high-performance MoS2 based HER electrocatalyst by modulating interface electronic structure via metal oxides is developed. All the heterostructure catalysts present significant improvement of HER electrocatalytic activities, demonstrating a positive role of metal oxides decoration in promoting the rate-limited water dissociation step for the HER mechanism in alkaline media. The as-obtained MoS2 /Ni2 O3 H catalyst exhibits a low overpotential of 84 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and small charge-transfer resistance of 1.5 Ω in 1 m KOH solution. The current density (217 mA cm-2 ) at the overpotential of 200 mV is about 2 and 24 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C and bare MoS2 , respectively. Additionally, these MoS2 /metal oxides heterostructure catalysts show outstanding long-term stability under a harsh chronopotentiometry test. Theoretical calculations reveal the varied sensitivity of 3d-band in different transition oxides, in which Ni-3d of Ni2 O3 H is evidently activated to achieve fast electron transfer for HER as the electron-depletion center. Both electronic properties and energetic reaction trends confirm the high electroactivity of MoS2 /Ni2 O3 H in the adsorption and dissociation of H2 O for highly efficient HER in alkaline media.

Abstract
Solar-driven water evaporation provides a promising solution to the energy crisis and environmental issues. Capitalizing on the high photothermal conversion efficiency and excellent resistance to strong acids or strong alkalis of Pt3Ni-S nanowires, we strategically design and prepare a flexible Pt3Ni-S-deposited Teflon (PTFE) membrane for achieving efficient strong acid/alkaline water evaporation under simulated sunlight irradiation (1 sun). By comparing the surface morphology, mechanical properties, and water evaporation performance of the as-prepared three different membranes, we have screened out a high-performance photothermal membrane that has good hydrophobicity (water contact angle = 106°), strong mechanical properties, high light-to-heat conversion efficiency (η = 80%), and excellent durability (10 cycles in a range of pH = 1.2-12). In particular, we explore the mechanism of high surface mechanical properties of the as-prepared membrane using density functional theory. The results demonstrate that the related mechanism can be ascribed to two main reasons: (1) hydrogen bonds can be formed between the 2-pyrrolidone ring and PTFE-3 and (2) the O atom in PTFE-3 carries more negative charge (-0.19 |e|) than PTFE-1 (-0.16 |e|) and PTFE-2 (-0.15 |e|). Our work highlights the great potentials of a Pt3Ni-S-deposited PTFE membrane as a device for implementing solar energy-driven evaporation of industrial wastewater with strong acidity or alkalinity and provides a new strategy for improving the surface mechanical properties of a photothermal membrane.

Abstract
Metallic sulfides have emerged as highly active, durable, and robust electrocatalysts for the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to their intriguing electronic and catalytic properties. One of the important strategies to further enhance their HER performance is to build multimetallic nanostructures by tuning the electronic state. Here we combine multimetallic structures and metal sulfides, and report an efficient strategy for the in situ surface-derivation of molybdenum sulfide nanosheets (MoS2 NSs) on Ag-Pd-Mo alloy nanowires (AgPdMo NWs) to form AgPdMo/MoS2 NWs. The heterostructure incorporates AgPdMo NWs with high conductivity and MoS2 NSs with abundant active sites, which act synergistically in alkaline solution. The as-tuned AgPdMo/MoS2 NWs exhibit Pt-like electrocatalytic performance for the HER, with a small overpotential of 54 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a low Tafel slope of 72 mV dec-1. The present work demonstrates a potential strategy for designing heterostructures with multimetallic composition by in situ surface-derivation with enhanced performance in water splitting.

Abstract
Designing highly active and robust platinum-free electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction is vital for large-scale and efficient production of hydrogen through electrochemical water splitting. Here, we report nonprecious intermetallic Cu5Zr clusters that are in situ anchored on hierarchical nanoporous copper (NP Cu/Cu5Zr) for efficient hydrogen evolution in alkaline medium. By virtue of hydroxygenated zirconium atoms activating their nearby Cu-Cu bridge sites with appropriate hydrogen-binding energy, the Cu5Zr clusters have a high electrocatalytic activity toward the hydrogen evolution reaction. Associated with unique architecture featured with steady and bicontinuous nanoporous copper skeleton that facilitates electron transfer and electrolyte accessibility, the self-supported monolithic NP Cu/Cu5Zr electrodes boost violent hydrogen gas release, realizing ultrahigh current density of 500 mA cm−2 at a low potential of -280 mV versus reversible hydrogen electrode, with exceptional stability in 1 M KOH solution. The electrochemical properties outperform those of state-of-the-art nonprecious metal electrocatalysts and make them promising candidates as electrodes in water splitting devices.

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
Molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) has been universally investigated in the field of catalysis due to its d-band electronic structure, which is similar to those of Pt-group metals. However, practical application of Mo2C in electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution is limited due to its low surface area and inadequate active sites caused by high temperature pyrolysis. Therefore, fabrication of Mo2C-based nanostructures with well-defined morphologies and high porosity remains a great challenge. In this work, we developed an efficient approach for decorating Pt-Cu nanocrystals on Mo2C octahedrons (Pt-Cu/Mo2C) using thermal treatment of polyoxometalate (POM)-based metal-organic frameworks (NENU-5) followed by galvanic replacement with H2PtCl6. The Pt-Cu/Mo2C nanostructure exhibits an ultrasmall overpotential of 12.9 mV (j = 10 mA cm-2) in an acidic medium for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution, which is much lower than those of bare Mo2C, Pt/Mo2C, and commercial Pt/C catalysts. More importantly, the Pt-Cu/Mo2C nanostructure delivers an exceptional cycling stability with a negligible decay over 10 000 cycles. The present work demonstrates potential guidance for the design of efficient and durable catalysts to boost electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting is considered as a promising approach to produce clean and sustainable hydrogen fuel. As a new class of nanomaterials with high ratio of surface atoms and tunable composition and electronic structure, metal clusters are promising candidates as catalysts. Here, a new strategy is demonstrated to synthesize active and stable Pt-based electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution by confining Pt clusters in hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (Pt5 /HMCS). Such a structure would effectively stabilize the Pt clusters during the ligand removal process, leading to remarkable electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen production in both acidic and alkaline solutions. Particularly, the optimal Pt5 /HMCS electrocatalyst exhibits 12 times the mass activity of Pt in commercial Pt/C catalyst with similar Pt loading. This study exemplifies a simple yet effective approach to improve the cost effectiveness of precious-metal-based catalysts with stabilized metal clusters.

Abstract
The interfacial structural design of materials in nanoscale is a promising approach to regulate the physicochemical properties of materials and further optimize material properties for a variety of potential applications. Herein, PdNi-S/C nanowires with inductive sulfite has been successfully crafted through hydrothermal synthesis and applied as a superior hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst. Based on the autocatalytic mechanism, PdNi alloy nanoparticles were synthesized by controlling reduction kinetics with the presence of formic acid. Meanwhile, the sulfite is selected as an effective inductive agent to form PdNi-S/C nanowires with amorphous interfaces. The morphology, composition, and electronic structure of the synthesized PdNi-S/C were studied in detail. The PdNi-S/C manifests excellent HER performance in alkaline solution with an overpotentials of 67 mV at current density of 10 mA cm-2, a Tafel slope of 69.4 mV dec-1, and significantly long-term durability. The improvement of HER performance of the PdNi-S/C is attributed to the one-dimensional nanowire structure, abundant sulfur vacancies and defects, and the synergistic effect between PdNi-S nanowires with the graphite carbon. Furthermore, this present work offers a novel method for structure adjustment of materials to effectively control their property and catalytic performance.

Abstract
Noble metal (Pt, Ru, and Ir)-based electrocatalysts are currently considered the most active materials for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Although they have been associated with high cost, easy agglomeration, and poor stability during the HER reaction, recent efforts to intentionally tailor noble-metal-based catalysts have led to promising improvements, with lower cost and superior activity, which are critical to achieving large-scale production of pure hydrogen. In this mini-review, we focus on the recent advances in noble-metal-based HER electrocatalysts. In particular, the synthesis strategies to enhance cost-effectiveness and the catalytic activity for HER are highlighted.

Abstract
Hydrogen, a renewable and outstanding energy carrier with zero carbon dioxide emission, is regarded as the best alternative to fossil fuels. The most preferred route to large-scale production of hydrogen is by water electrolysis from the intermittent sources (e.g., wind, solar, hydro, and tidal energy). However, the efficiency of water electrolysis is very much dependent on the activity of electrocatalysts. Thus, designing high-effective, stable, and cheap materials for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) could have a substantial impact on renewable energy technologies. Recently, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as a new frontier in catalysis science, because SACs have maximum atom-utilization efficiency and excellent catalytic reaction activity. Various synthesis methods and analytical techniques have been adopted to prepare and characterize these SACs. In this review, we discuss recent progress on SACs synthesis, characterization methods, and their catalytic applications. Particularly, we highlight their unique electrochemical characteristics toward HER. Finally, the current key challenges in SACs for HER are pointed out and some potential directions are proposed as well.

Abstract
NiFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) is thought of as a promising bifunctional water-splitting catalyst, owing to its excellent performances for alkaline oxygen evolution reactions (OERs). However, it shows extremely poor activity toward hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs) due to the weak hydrogen adsorption. We demonstrated that the integration of Rh species and NiFe-LDH can dramatically improve its HER kinetics without sacrificing the OER performance. The Rh species were initially integrated into NiFe-LDH as oxidized dopants and metallic clusters (< 1 nm). In 1 M KOH electrolyte, an overpotential of 58 mV is needed to catalyze 10 mA cm-2 HER current density. Furthermore, this catalyst only requires 1.46 V to drive an electrolyzer at 10 mA cm-2. A strong interaction between metallic Rh clusters and NiFe hydroxide during the HER process is revealed. The theoretical calculation shows the Rh ions replace Fe ions as the major active sites that are responsible for OERs.

Abstract
Design and synthesis of efficient electrocatalysts with low usage of precious metal and of high stability are essential for their practical applications in hydrogen evolution reactions. In this work, we synthesize an electrocatalyst through the deposition of platinum nanoparticles on defect-rich nitrogen-doped hollow carbon derived from surface-attached poly(4-vinylpyridine) monolayers. The platinum nanoparticles with an average diameter of about 1.8 nm are well dispersed on the outer surface of the pre-synthesized carbon material and the platinum loading is about 8.6 wt%. The mass activity of the as-synthesized catalyst under an overpotential of 55 mV is about 5.0 A mgPt−1, about 4.93 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C catalysts. Moreover, the synthesized catalyst is also more electrochemically stable than commercial Pt/C catalysts as evidenced by continuous cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometric response measurements. Design and synthesis of efficient electrocatalysts with low usage of precious metal and of high stability are essential for hydrogen evolution reaction in their practical applications.![]()

Abstract
P-rich transition metal phosphides (TMPs) with abundant P sites have been predicted to be more favorable for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysis. However, the actual activities of P-rich TMPs do not behave as expected, and the underlying essence especially at the atomic level is also ambiguous. Our structural analysis reveals the inferior activity could stem from the reduced overlap of atomic wave functions between metal and P with the increase in P contents, which consequently results in too strong P-H interaction. To this end, we used N-induced lattice contraction to generally boost the HER catalysis of P-rich TMPs including CoP2, FeP2, NiP2, and MoP2. Refined structural characterization and theoretical analysis indicate the N-P strong interaction could increase the atomic wave function overlap and eventually modulate the H adsorption strength. The concept of lattice engineering offers a new vision for tuning the catalytic activities of P-rich TMPs and beyond.

Abstract
Transition-metal phosphides have flourished as promising candidates for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts. Herein, it is demonstrated that the electrocatalytic OER performance of CoP can be greatly improved by constructing a hybrid CoP/TiOx heterostructure. The CoP/TiOx heterostructure is fabricated using metal-organic framework nanocrystals as templates, which leads to unique hollow structures and uniformly distributed CoP nanoparticles on TiOx . The strong interactions between CoP and TiOx in the CoP/TiOx heterostructure and the conductive nature of TiOx with Ti3+ sites endow the CoP-TiOx hybrid material with high OER activity comparable to the state-of-the-art IrO2 or RuO2 OER electrocatalysts. In combination with theoretical calculations, this work reveals that the formation of CoP/TiOx heterostructure can generate a pathway for facile electron transport and optimize the water adsorption energy, thus promoting the OER electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Metallic nanostructures with low dimensionality (one-dimension and two-dimension) possess unique structural characteristics and distinctive electronic and physicochemical properties including high aspect ratio, high specific surface area, high density of surface unsaturated atoms and high electron mobility. These distinctive features have rendered them remarkable advantages over their bulk counterparts for surface-related applications, for example, electrochemical water splitting. In this review article, we highlight the recent research progress in low-dimensional metallic nanostructures for electrochemical water splitting including hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Fundamental understanding of the electrochemistry of water splitting including HER and OER is firstly provided from the aspects of catalytic mechanisms, activity descriptors and property evaluation metrics. Generally, it is challenging to obtain low-dimensional metallic nanostructures with desirable characteristics for HER and OER. We hereby introduce several typical methods for synthesizing one-dimensional and two-dimensional metallic nanostructures including organic ligand-assisted synthesis, hydrothermal/solvothermal synthesis, carbon monoxide confined growth, topotactic reduction, and templated growth. We then put emphasis on the strategies adopted for the design and fabrication of high-performance low-dimensional metallic nanostructures for electrochemical water splitting such as alloying, structure design, surface engineering, interface engineering and strain engineering. The underlying structure-property correlation for each strategy is elucidated aiming to facilitate the design of more advanced electrocatalysts for water splitting. The challenges and perspectives for the development of electrochemical water splitting and low-dimensional metallic nanostructures are also proposed.

Abstract
The development of new type electrocatalysts with promising activity and antipoisoning ability is of great importance for electrocatalysis on alcohol oxidation. In this work, Pd nanowire (PdNW)/CuOx heterogeneous catalysts with different types of PdOCu interfaces (Pd/amorphous or crystalline CuOx ) are prepared via a two-step hydrothermal strategy followed by an air plasma treatment. Their interface-dependent performance on methanol and ethanol oxidation reaction (MOR and EOR) is clearly observed. The as-prepared PdNW/crystalline CuOx catalyst with 17.2 at% of Cu on the PdNW surface exhibits better MOR and EOR activity and stability, compared with that of PdNW/amorphous CuOx and pristine PdNW catalysts. Significantly, both the cycling tests and the chronoamperometric measurements reveal that the PdNW/crystalline CuOx catalyst yields excellent tolerance toward the possible intermediates including formaldehyde, formic acid, potassium carbonate, and carbon monoxide generated during the MOR process. The detailed analysis of their chemical state reveals that the enhanced activity and antipoison ability of the PdNW/crystalline CuOx catalyst originates from the electron-deficient Pdδ+ active sites which gradually turn into Pd5 O4 species during the MOR catalysis. The Pd5 O4 species can likely be stabilized by moderate crystalline CuOx decorated on the surface of PdNW due to the strong PdOCu interaction.

Abstract
Designing non-noble electrocatalysts with low-cost and efficient is crucial to the development of sustainable and clean energy resources. Here, we synthesized a novel S–CoSe2/CoMoO4 and O–CoSe2/CoMoO4hybrid electrocatalysts for the HER and OER, respectively. Possibly due to the synergetic chemical coupling effects between CoSe2/DETA and CoMoO4, and the introduction of S heteroatom and oxygen vacancy, this hybrid could expose enough active edges, and then promoted the constructed hybrid displayed superior hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalytic performance. The S–CoSe2/CoMoO4 sample afforded a current density of 10 mAcm-2 at a small overpotential of 177 mV and a small Tafel slope of 54 mV dec−1. Moreover, the oxidized CoSe2/CoMoO4 (O–CoSe2/CoMoO4) also displayed a remarkable catalytic property for OER with a small Tafel slope of 43 mV dec−1, as well as excellent stability in 1.0 M KOH. Therefore, this noble-metal-free and highly efficient catalyst enables prospective applications for electrochemical applications. •The novel S-CoSe2/CoMoO4 and O-CoSe2/CoMoO4 hybrid electrocatalysts are reported. •The oxygen vacancy resulted in O-CoSe2/CoMoO4 displayed excellent stability for OER. •This non-noble based electrocatalysts are valuable for the future clean energy.

Abstract
The development of renewable energy storage and conversion has been greatly promoted by the achievements in platinum (Pt)-based catalysts, which possess remarkable catalytic performance. However, the high cost and limited resources of Pt have hindered the practical applications and thus stimulated extensive efforts to achieve maximized catalytic performance with minimized Pt content. Low dimensional Pt-based bimetallic nanomaterials (such as nanoplates and nanowires) hold enormous potential to realize this target owing to their special atomic arrangement and electronic structures. Recent achievements reveal that strain engineering (e.g., the compressive or tensile strain existing on the Pt skin), surface engineering (e.g., high-index facets, Pt-rich surface, and highly open structures), and interface engineering (e.g., composition-segregated nanostructures) for such nanomaterials can readily lead to electronic modification, more active sites, and strong synergistic effect, thus opening up new avenues toward greatly enhanced catalytic performance. In this Account, we focus on recent advances in low dimensional Pt-based bimetallic nanomaterials as promising catalysts with high activity, long-term stability, and enhanced selectivity for both electrocatalysis and heterogeneous reactions. We begin by illustrating the important role of several strategies on optimizing the catalytic performance: (1) regulated electronic structure by strain effect, (2) increased active sites by surface modification, and (3) the optimized synergistic effect by interfacial engineering. First of all, a difference in atomic bonding strength can result in compressive or tensile force, leading to downshift or upshift of the d-band center. Such effects can be significantly amplified in low-dimensionally confined nanostructures, producing optimized bonding strength for improved catalysis. Furthermore, a high density of high-index facets and a Pt-rich surface in shape-controlled nanostructures based on surface engineering provide further enhancement due to the increased Pt atom utilization and optimal adsorption energy. Finally, interfacial engineering of low dimensional Pt-based bimetallic nanomaterials with high composition-segregation can facilitate the catalytic process due to a strong synergetic effect, which effectively tunes the electronic structure, modifies the coordination environment, and prevents catalysts from serious aggregation. The rational design of low dimensional Pt-based bimetallic nanomaterials with superior catalytic properties based on strain, surface, and interface engineering could help realize enhanced catalysis, gain deep understanding of the structure-performance relationship, and expand access to Pt-based materials for general communities of materials science, chemical engineering, and catalysis in renewable energy research fields.

Abstract
Pursuing active and durable water splitting electrocatalysts is of vital significance for solving the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process in energy supply. Herein, theoretical calculations identify that the local distortion-strain effect in amorphous RuTe2 system abnormally sensitizes the Te-pπ coupling capability and enhances the electron-transfer of Ru-sites, in which the excellent inter-orbital p-d transfers determine strong electronic activities for boosting OER performance. Thus, a robust electrocatalyst based on amorphous RuTe2 porous nanorods (PNRs) is successfully fabricated. In the acidic water splitting, a-RuTe2 PNRs exhibit a superior performance, which only require a cell voltage of 1.52 V to reach a current density of 10 mA cm−2. Detailed investigations show that the high density of defects combine with oxygen atoms to form RuOxHy species, which are conducive to the OER. This work offers valuable insights for constructing robust electrocatalysts based on theoretical calculations guided by rational design and amorphous materials. Elctrochemical water splitting is of vital significance for energy conversion and storage. Here the authors show an electrocatalyst based on amorphous ruthenium-tellurium porous nanorods which exhibit significantly improved OER performance than its crystalline counterparts

Abstract
Searching for a highly efficient electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline solution is still challenging. In this work, we report a HER electrocatalyst composed of Ni foam, Ni3S2, and nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NF@Ni3S2@NCNTs). The good lattice matching between Ni and Ni3S2, interstitial doping of C and N atoms, and synergistic effect of NCNTs make NF@Ni3S2@NCNTs highly efficient HER electrocatalysts in alkaline solution. NF@Ni3S2@NCNTs exhibit an overpotential of 93.89 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, a Tafel slope of 54 mV dec-1, and superior stability for HER in 1 M KOH solution. Our findings will promote the reasonable design and synthesis of an efficient electrocatalyst for HER in alkaline electrolytes.
