ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2020; 32:e2000455. [PMID: 32173914 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202000455] [Citation(s) in RCA: 185] [Impact Index Per Article: 46.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2020] [Revised: 02/21/2020] [Accepted: 03/02/2020] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Simultaneous highly efficient production of hydrogen and conversion of biomass into value-added products is meaningful but challenging. Herein, a porous nanospindle composed of carbon-encapsulated MoO2 -FeP heterojunction (MoO2 -FeP@C) is proposed as a robust bifunctional electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and biomass electrooxidation reaction (BEOR). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and theoretical calculations confirm the electron transfer from MoO2 to FeP at the interfaces, where electron accumulation on FeP favors the optimization of H2 O and H* absorption energies for HER, whereas hole accumulation on MoO2 is responsible for improving the BEOR activity. Thanks to its interfacial electronic structure, MoO2 -FeP@C exhibits excellent HER activity with an overpotential of 103 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 48 mV dec-1 . Meanwhile, when 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is chosen as the biomass for BEOR, the conversion is almost 100%, and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is obtained with the selectivity of 98.6%. The electrolyzer employing MoO2 -FeP@C for cathodic H2 and anodic FDCA production requires only a low voltage of 1.486 V at 10 mA cm-2 and can be powered by a solar cell (output voltage: 1.45 V). Additionally, other BEORs coupled with HER catalyzed by MoO2 -FeP@C also have excellent catalytic performance, implying their good versatility.

Abstract
Electrolytic overall water splitting is a promising approach to produce H2 , but its efficiency is severely limited by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the low activity of current electrocatalysts. To solve these problems, in addition to the development of efficient precious-metal catalysts, an effective strategy is proposed to replace the OER by the selective methanol oxidation reaction. Ni-Co hydroxide [Nix Co1-x (OH)2 ] nanoarrays were obtained through a facile hydrothermal treatment as the bifunctional electrocatalysts for the co-electrolysis of methanol/water to produce H2 and value-added formate simultaneously. The electrocatalyst could catalyze selective methanol oxidation (≈1.32 V) with a significantly lower energy consumption (≈0.2 V less) than OER. Importantly, methanol was transformed exclusively to value-added formate with a high Faradaic efficiency (selectivity) close to 100 %. Specifically, a cell voltage of only approximately 1.5 V was required to generate a current density of 10 mA cm-2 . Furthermore, the Ni0.33 Co0.67 (OH)2 /Ni foam nanoneedle arrays presented an outstanding stability for overall co-electrolysis.

Abstract
Aqueous glycerol was identified as a renewable reaction medium for metalla-electrocatalyzed C-H activation powered by sustainable energy sources. The renewable solvent was employed for cobalt-catalyzed C-H/N-H functionalizations under mild conditions. The cobalta-electrocatalysis manifold occurred with high levels of chemo- and positional selectivity and allowed for electrochemical C-H activations with broad substrate scope. The resource economy of this strategy was considerably substantiated by the direct use of renewable solar and wind energy.

Abstract
Significant efforts are devoted to developing artificial photosynthetic systems to produce fuels and chemicals in order to cope with the exacerbating energy and environmental crises in the world now. Nonetheless, the large-scale reactions that are the focus of the artificial photosynthesis community, such as water splitting, are thus far not economically viable, owing to the existing, cheaper alternatives to the gaseous hydrogen and oxygen products. As a potential substitute for water oxidation, here, a unique, visible light-driven oxygenation of carbon-carbon bonds for the selective transformation of 32 unactivated alcohols, mediated by a vanadium photocatalyst under ambient, atmospheric conditions is presented. Furthermore, since the initial alcohol products remain as substrates, an unprecedented photodriven cascade carbon-carbon bond cleavage of macromolecules can be performed. Accordingly, hydroxyl-terminated polymers such as polyethylene glycol, its block co-polymer with polycaprolactone, and even the non-biodegradable polyethylene can be repurposed into fuels and chemical feedstocks, such as formic acid and methyl formate. Thus, a distinctive approach is presented to integrate the benefits of photoredox catalysis into environmental remediation and artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Hydrogen production by electrocatalytic water splitting is an efficient and economical technology, however, is severely impeded by the kinetic-sluggish and low value-added anodic oxygen evolution reaction. Here we report the nickel-molybdenum-nitride nanoplates loaded on carbon fiber cloth (Ni-Mo-N/CFC), for the concurrent electrolytic productions of high-purity hydrogen at the cathode and value-added formate at the anode in low-cost alkaline glycerol solutions. Especially, when equipped with Ni-Mo-N/CFC at both anode and cathode, the established electrolyzer requires as low as 1.36 V of cell voltage to achieve 10 mA cm-2, which is 260 mV lower than that in alkaline aqueous solution. Moreover, high Faraday efficiencies of 99.7% for H2 evolution and 95.0% for formate production have been obtained. Based on the excellent electrochemical performances of Ni-Mo-N/CFC, electrolytic H2 and formate productions from the alkaline glycerol solutions are an energy-efficient and promising technology for the renewable and clean energy supply in the future.

Abstract
The development of highly effective and low-cost electrocatalysts for energy-saving hydrogen production via water splitting is still a great challenge. Herein, porous nitrogen-doped carbon nanobowls (N-CBs) have been designed and used for the controlled growth of ultrafine rhodium (Rh) nanoparticles. With the aid of interfacial bonding of Rh and N, ultrafine Rh nanoparticles with an average size of 1.4 nm have been successfully immobilized on the N-CBs. This Rh/N-CB electrocatalyst shows superior activity and high stability for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR). More importantly, the Rh/N-CBs exhibit high activity for hydrogen production from water electrolysis, marking with a cell voltage of 0.2 V to achieve a current density of 20 mA cm-2 when they serve as cathodic electrocatalysts for the HER and anodic electrocatalysts for the HzOR in 1 M KOH with 0.5 M hydrazine. The density functional theory calculations demonstrate that a near-zero hydrogen adsorption free energy produced by the chemical bonding of Rh with the pyrrole-N doped in N-CBs is responsible for the excellent HER activity of Rh/N-CBs electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as layered double hydroxides (LDH) are promising electrocatalysts, especially for water oxidation, owing to their unique physical and electronic properties besides having adequate surface area and availability of unsaturated active metal centers. Herein, we illustrate the high-temperature transformation of bimetallic LDH to semicrystalline 2D metal oxide nanoplates that can maneuver their electronic properties and thereby accelerate the water dissociation reactions. The nanoplates prepared at 300 °C require only 280 ± 13 and 177 ± 7 mV overpotentials for oxygen/hydrogen evolution reactions (OER and HER) to achieve a current density of ±10 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH, respectively. In a two-electrode water splitting cell, while this bifunctional catalyst needs 1.69 V to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm-2, the LDH precursor demands a cell voltage of 1.93 V. However, both the catalysts demonstrate excellent durability for more than 200 h. When the bifunctional metal oxide electrolyzer is connected to perovskite solar cells for unassisted solar-driven water splitting, impressively, such an integrated photovoltaic-electrolyzer can achieve a solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency of 9.3%. The predominantly superior catalytic activity of the nanoplates is due to the abundance of unsaturated oxygen which decreases the free energy of adsorption of the intermediates.

Abstract
Heterogeneous electrocatalysis typically involves charge transfer between surface active sites and adsorbed species. Therefore, modulating the surface charge state of an electrocatalyst can be used to enhance performance. A series of negatively charged transition-metal (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu,and NiCo) phosphides were fabricated by designing strong electronic coupling with hydr(oxy)oxides formed in situ. Physicochemical characterizations, together with DFT computations, demonstrate that strong electronic coupling renders transition-metal phosphides negatively charged. This facilitates destabilization of alkaline water adsorption and dissociation to result in significantly improved H2 evolution. Negatively charged Ni2 P/nickel hydr(oxy)oxide for example exhibits a significantly low overpotential of 138 mV at 100 mA cm-2 , superior to that without strong electronic coupling and also commercial Pt/C.

Abstract
Integrating thermodynamically favorable ethanol reforming reactions with hybrid water electrolysis will allow room-temperature production of high-value organic products and decoupled hydrogen evolution. However, electrochemical reforming of ethanol has not received adequate attention due to its low catalytic efficiency and poor selectivity, which are caused by the multiple groups and chemical bonds of ethanol. In addition to the thermodynamic properties affected by the electronic structure of the catalyst, the dynamics of molecule/ion dynamics in electrolytes also play a significant role in the efficiency of a catalyst. The relatively large size and viscosity of the ethanol molecule necessitates large channels for molecule/ion transport through catalysts. Perforated CoNi hydroxide nanosheets are proposed as a model catalyst to synergistically regulate the dynamics of molecules and electronic structures. Molecular dynamics simulations directly reveal that these nanosheets can act as a "dam" to enrich ethanol molecules and facilitate permeation through the nanopores. Additionally, the charge transfer behavior of heteroatoms modifies the local charge density to promote molecular chemisorption. As expected, the perforated nanosheets exhibit a small potential (1.39 V) and high Faradaic efficiency for the conversion of ethanol into acetic acid. Moreover, the concept in this work provides new perspectives for exploring other molecular catalysts.

Abstract
The design of low-cost yet high-efficiency electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) over a wide pH range is highly challenging. We now report a hierarchical co-assembly of interacting MoS2 and Co9S8 nanosheets attached on Ni3S2 nanorod arrays which are supported on nickel foam (NF). This tiered structure endows high performance toward HER and OER over a very broad pH range. By adjusting the molar ratio of the Co:Mo precursors, we have created CoMoNiS-NF- xy composites ( x: y means Co:Mo molar ratios ranging from 5:1 to 1:3) with controllable morphology and composition. The three-dimensional composites have an abundance of active sites capable of universal pH catalytic HER and OER activity. The CoMoNiS-NF-31 demonstrates the best electrocatalytic activity, giving ultralow overpotentials (113, 103, and 117 mV for HER and 166, 228, and 405 mV for OER) to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline, acidic, and neutral electrolytes, respectively. It also shows a remarkable balance between electrocatalytic activity and stability. Based on the distinguished catalytic performance of CoMoNiS-NF-31 toward HER and OER, we demonstrate a two-electrode electrolyzer performing water electrolysis over a wide pH range, with low cell voltages of 1.54, 1.45, and 1.80 V at 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline, acidic, and neutral media, respectively. First-principles calculations suggest that the high OER activity arises from electron transfer from Co9S8 to MoS2 at the interface, which alters the binding energies of adsorbed species and decreases overpotentials. Our results demonstrate that hierarchical metal sulfides can serve as highly efficient all-pH (pH = 0-14) electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.

Abstract
In this work, we synthesized ultrathin Rh nanosheets (Rh-NSs) with atomic thickness, which revealed excellent activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and super activity and extraordinary selectivity for the isopropanol oxidation reaction (IOR) in alkaline medium. When using Rh-NSs as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for water electrolysis in the presence of isopropanol, a voltage of only 0.4 V was required for H2 production, accompanied by the production of valuable acetone at the anode.

Abstract
Efficient hydrogen production by a photovoltaic-electrolysis cell (PV-EC) system requires a low electrolyzer overpotential and a high coupling efficiency between both the components. Herein, Ni5 P4 is proposed as a cost-effective bifunctional electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution and hydrazine oxidation in a reformed electrolyzer. Experiments indicate that the electrolytic overpotential could be significantly reduced by replacing the oxygen evolution reaction with the hydrazine oxidation reaction at the anode. Furthermore, a scenario for hydrogen production is demonstrated by utilizing a stable and low-cost perovskite solar cell (PSC) with a carbon back electrode to drive a reformed electrolyzer. Importantly, a single PSC can drive three reformed electrolyzers in series for hydrogen production by carefully matching the operating point of the electrolyzer with the maximum power point of the photovoltaic device, thereby, yielding a H2 evolution rate of 1.77 mg h-1 for the whole PV-EC system. This can be a potential starting point for hydrogen production using a single PSC-driven electrolysis system.

Abstract
Vanadium phosphate oxide (VPO) heterogeneous catalysts with different V/P molar ratios were prepared and used for selective oxidation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to produce 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) in the liquid phase. It was found that the VPO catalyst with V/P molar ratio 0.25 exhibited the best catalytic performance. Then the VPO catalyst was utilized to catalyze the oxidation of HMF in a batch reactor under different conditions, in terms of type of solvent (water and organic), reaction time and temperature. A high DFF yield of 83.6% with HMF conversion of 100% was obtained under atmospheric pressure. Vanadium phosphate oxide (VPO) heterogeneous catalysts with different V/P molar ratios were prepared. VPO exhibited highly selective oxidation of HMF. The highest DFF yield of 83.6% was obtained under atmospheric air pressure.![]()

Abstract
As one of the most remarkable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts, metal chalcogenides have been intensively reported during the past few decades because of their high OER activities. It has been reported that electron-chemical conversion of metal chalcogenides into oxides/hydroxides would take place after the OER. However, the transition mechanism of such unstable structures, as well as the real active sites and catalytic activity during the OER for these electrocatalysts, has not been understood yet; therefore a direct observation for the electrocatalytic water oxidation process, especially at nano or even angstrom scale, is urgently needed. In this research, by employing advanced Cs-corrected transmission electron microscopy (TEM), a step by step oxidational evolution of amorphous electrocatalyst CoS x into crystallized CoOOH in the OER has been in situ captured: irreversible conversion of CoS x to crystallized CoOOH is initiated on the surface of the electrocatalysts with a morphology change via Co(OH)2 intermediate during the OER measurement, where CoOOH is confirmed as the real active species. Besides, this transition process has also been confirmed by multiple applications of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), in situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and other ex situ technologies. Moreover, on the basis of this discovery, a high-efficiency electrocatalyst of a nitrogen-doped graphene foam (NGF) coated by CoS x has been explored through a thorough structure transformation of CoOOH. We believe this in situ and in-depth observation of structural evolution in the OER measurement can provide insights into the fundamental understanding of the mechanism for the OER catalysts, thus enabling the more rational design of low-cost and high-efficient electrocatalysts for water splitting.

Abstract
Hydrogen represents one of the most promising renewable energy sources for next generation energy systems, however, its large scale production is high cost and high energy. A proof-of-concept alkaline-acid electrolyzer is reported here that can significantly reduce the amount of electrical energy consumed in electrolytic hydrogen production, implemented by the development of self-supported bimetallic Ni-Co compound electrodes used as the anode and cathode, respectively, where a urea oxidation reaction (UOR) occurs at the alkaline Ni0.67Co0.33(OH)2 nanosheet anode, coupled to the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the acidic Ni0.67Co0.33S2 cathode. The asymmetric-electrolyte electrolyzer can efficiently harvest two kinds of energies, i.e. electrochemical neutralization energy (ENE) and electrochemical urea oxidation energy, to assist electrolytic hydrogen production using waste urea, acid, and base. The as-designed electrolyzer can deliver a current density of 10 mA cm-2 for electrolytic H2 generation with a rather low applied voltage of 0.54 V, with the potential to use up waste urea, acid and base.

Abstract
The continuous advance in exploring renewable energy resources such as solar and wind will certainly alleviate our reliance on limited fossil reserves. However, the sustainable development of mankind demands not only energy but also carbon-based chemical goods. Unfortunately, exploitation of renewable energy resources like solar and wind will not lead to any carbon-based chemicals. The only sustainable and green carbon source is biomass, the scale of annual production of which has an immense potential to complement that of fossil-derived carbons. To utilize biomass in economically effective ways, many catalytic processes have been investigated. Among various strategies of biomass refinery, electrocatalytic upgrading stands out as an attractive option because of its benign operation conditions, high energy efficiency, and convenient control on production rate and selectivity using electrochemical parameters. This Minireview showcases several electrocatalytic systems for both reductive and oxidative upgrading of representative biomass-derived intermediate compounds, including 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural, levulinic acid, glycerol, and sorbitol to different value-added products. The catalytic routes and mechanisms of each biomass-derived platform compound are discussed and compared. In order to be feasible for large-scale applications, low-cost composition and preparation of electrocatalysts are mandatory and will be emphasized. Finally, our personal perspective on the current challenges and future directions of electrocatalytic biomass upgrading is presented.

Abstract
Development of low-cost, high performance and stable non-noble electrocatalysts with both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities for overall water splitting is essential for future energy supply. Herein, for the first time, a facile and ultrafast synthetic method has been reported to fabricate nickel sulfide (Ni3S2) films on Ni foam (Ni3S2/NF) as efficient bifunctional electrodes for overall water splitting through direct dropping of mercaptoethanol solution followed by annealing at 300 °C for only 50 s. Thanks to the integrated three-dimensional (3D) configuration, the obtained Ni3S2/Ni foam exhibits excellent activity and stability for HER and OER with low overpotentials of 131 and 312 mV, respectively, to attain a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline media. Ni(OH)x species formed on the Ni3S2 surface serves as the actual catalytic site during OER reaction. Given the well-defined bifunctionality, an overall water-splitting device using two identical Ni3S2/NF electrodes delivers a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at a low cell voltage of 1.68 V in an alkaline water electrolyzer. This approach is promising as a simple method for depositing a wide range of useful transition metal sulfide electrocatalysts on corresponding metal substrate bifunctional electrodes for overall water splitting, shedding some light on the development of functional materials in energy chemistry.

Abstract
The upgrading of biomass into sustainable and valuable fine chemicals is an alternative to the use of state-of-the-art petrochemicals. The conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) biomass derivative into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has been recognized as an economical and green approach to replace the current polyethylene terephthalate based plastic industry. However, this reaction mostly relies on noble-metal-based catalysts for the sluggish aerobic oxidation of alcohol groups. In this work, we report a series of hierarchical Ni-Co-based transition metal oxide catalysts for HMF oxidation by electrocatalysis. Comprehensive material characterization and electrochemical evaluation have been performed. A 90 % FDCA yield, nearly 100 % Faradaic efficiency, and robust stability were achieved for NiCo2 O4 nanowires. As non-precious-metal catalysts, Ni-Co-based transition metal oxides may open up new potential materials for highly efficient electrochemical biomass upgrading.

Abstract
Hydrogen (H2) is presently one of the most promising clean and renewable energy sources, but the conventional hydrogen production by electrochemical water-splitting, though of great potential and extensively studied, is seriously obstructed especially by the anodic oxygen evolution reaction because of its sluggish kinetics. Herein, we report the efficient hydrogen production from methanol solution using facile-synthesized ultrathin 2D bi-metal-organic framework nanosheets (UMOFNs) as a precious metal-free anodic catalyst. The prepared UMOFNs showed a much lowered anodic potential of 1.365 (V vs reversible hydrogen electrode) at 10 mA cm-2, which was markedly 232 mV lower than that in conventional water splitting, and moreover, the average turnover frequency reached 19.62 s-1. Benefiting from nearly 100% Faraday efficiency of H2 production on the counter graphite carbon electrodes without additional electrocatalysts, high-purity hydrogen was produced with enhanced efficiency. More importantly, the anodic electro-reaction mechanism has been evidenced experimentally: the electrocatalytic hydrogen production from the methanol solution is a methanol-assisted water splitting, rather than a methanol-reforming process as claimed in a number of literature studies, in which methanol is oxidized as a sacrificing agent in place of water oxidization in pure water.
