Abstract
Reasonable design of low-cost, high-efficiency and stable bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts is of great significance to improve the reaction efficiency of Zn-air batteries, which is still a huge challenge. Here, we report a highly efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst with three-dimensional (3D) N-doped graphene network-supported cobalt and cobalt oxide nanoparticles (Co/CoO-NG), which can be in situ synthesized by inducing metal ions on metal plates via graphene oxide as an inducer. This 3D network structure and open active center show excellent bifunctional oxygen electrocatalytic activity under alkaline conditions, and can be used as an air electrode in rechargeable Zn-air batteries, with significantly better power density (244.28 mW cm-2) and stability (over 340 h) than commercial Pt/C+RuO2 mixtures. This work is conducive to advancing the practical application of graphene-based materials as air electrodes for rechargeable zinc-air batteries.

Abstract
Iron phosphide/carbon (FeP/C) serving as electrocatalysts exhibit excellent activity in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) process. H2O2 catalyzed by peroxidase (POD) is similar to the formation of new electron transfer channels and the optimization of adsorption of oxygen-containing intermediates or desorption of products in ORR process. However, it is still a challenge to discover FeP/C with enhanced POD-like catalytic activity in the electrocatalytic database for biocatalysis. The discovery of FeP/carbon dots (FeP/CDs) nanozymes driven by electrocatalytic activity for enhanced POD-like ability is demonstrated. FeP/CDs derived from CDs-Fe3+ chelates show enhanced POD-like catalytic and antibacterial activity. FeP/CDs exhibit enhanced POD-like activities with a specific activity of 31.1 U mg-1 that is double higher than that of FeP. The antibacterial ability of FeP/CDs nanozymes with enhanced POD-like activity is 98.1%. The antibacterial rate of FeP/CDs nanozymes (250 µg mL-1) increased by 5%, 15%, and 36% compared with FeP, Fe2O3/CDs, and Cu3P/CDs nanozymes, respectively. FeP/CDs nanozymes will attract more efforts to discover or screen transition metal phosphide/C nanozymes with enhanced POD-like catalytic activity for biocatalysis in the electrocatalytic database.

Abstract
In this study, we developed a high-performance non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor based on urchin-like CoP3/Cu3P heterostructured nanorods supported on a three-dimensional porous copper foam, namely, CoP3/Cu3P NRs/CF, for the detection of dopamine. Benefiting from the promising intrinsic catalytic activities of CoP3 and Cu3P, urchin-like microsphere structures, and a large electrochemically active surface area for exposing numerous accessible catalytic active sites, the proposed CoP3/Cu3P NRs/CF shows extraordinary electrochemical response towards the electrocatalytic oxidation of dopamine. As a result, the CoP3/Cu3P NRs/CF sensing electrode has a broad detection window (from 0.2 to 2000 μM), low detection limit (0.51 μM), high electrochemical sensitivity (0.0105 mA μM-1 cm-2), excellent selectivity towards dopamine in the coexistence of some interfering species, and good stability for dopamine determination. More importantly, the CoP3/Cu3P NRs/CF catalyst also exhibits excellent catalytic activity, sensitivity, and selectivity for dopamine detection under simulated human body conditions at a physiological pH of 7.25 (0.1 M PBS) at 36.6 °C.

Abstract
Developing efficient nonprecious bifunctional electrocatalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER) in the same electrolyte with a low overpotential and large current density presents an appealing yet challenging goal for large-scale water electrolysis. Herein, a unique 3D self-branched hierarchical nanostructure composed of ultra-small cobalt phosphide (CoP) nanoparticles embedded into N, P-codoped carbon nanotubes knitted hollow nanowall arrays (CoPʘNPCNTs HNWAs) on carbon textiles (CTs) through a carbonization-phosphatization process is presented. Benefiting from the uniform protrusion distributions of CoP nanoparticles, the optimum CoPʘNPCNTs HNWAs composites with high abundant porosity exhibit superior electrocatalytic activity and excellent stability for OER in alkaline conditions, as well as for HER in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes, even under large current densities. Furthermore, the assembled CoPʘNPCNTs/CTs||CoPʘNPCNTs/CTs electrolyzer demonstrates exceptional performance, requiring an ultralow cell voltage of 1.50 V to deliver the current density of 10 mA cm-2 for overall water splitting (OWS) with favorable stability, even achieving a large current density of 200 mA cm-2 at a low cell voltage of 1.78 V. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation further reveals that all the C atoms between N and P atoms in CoPʘNPCNTs/CTs act as the most efficient active sites, significantly enhancing the electrocatalytic properties. This strategy, utilizing 2D MOF arrays as a structural and compositional material to create multifunctional composites/hybrids, opens new avenues for the exploration of highly efficient and robust non-noble-metal catalysts for energy-conversion reactions.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202403017.

Abstract
Crafting single-atom catalysts (SACs) that possess "just right" modulated electronic and geometric structures, granting accessible active sites for direct room-temperature benzene oxidation is a coveted objective. However, achieving this goal remains a formidable challenge. Here, we introduce an innovative in situ phosphorus-immitting strategy using a new phosphorus source (phosphorus nitride, P3N5) to construct the phosphorus-rich copper (Cu) SACs, designated as Cu/NPC. These catalysts feature locally protruding metal sites on a nitrogen (N)-phosphorus (P)-carbon (C) support (NPC). Rigorous analyses, including X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), validate the coordinated bonding of nitrogen and phosphorus with atomically dispersed Cu sites on NPC. Crucially, systematic first-principles calculations, coupled with the climbing image nudged-elastic-band (CI-NEB) method, provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure-property-activity relationship of the distorted Cu-N2P2 centers in Cu/NPC for selective oxidation of benzene to phenol production. Interestingly, Cu/NPC has shown more energetically favorable C-H bond activation compared to the benchmark Cu/NC SACs in the direct oxidation of benzene, resulting in outstanding benzene conversion (50.3 %) and phenol selectivity (99.3 %) at room temperature. Furthermore, Cu/NPC achieves a remarkable turnover frequency of 263 h-1 and mass-specific activity of 35.2 mmol g-1 h-1, surpassing the state-of-the-art benzene-to-phenol conversion catalysts to date.

Abstract
The quest to identify precious metal free hydrogen evolution reaction catalysts has received unprecedented attention in the past decade. In this Review, we focus our attention to recent developments in precious metal free hydrogen evolution reactions in acidic and alkaline electrolyte owing to their relevance to commercial and near-commercial low-temperature electrolyzers. We provide a detailed review and critical analysis of catalyst activity and stability performance measurements and metrics commonly deployed in the literature, as well as review best practices for experimental measurements (both in half-cell three-electrode configurations and in two-electrode device testing). In particular, we discuss the transition from laboratory-scale hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst measurements to those in single cells, which is a critical aspect crucial for scaling up from laboratory to industrial settings but often overlooked. Furthermore, we review the numerous catalyst design strategies deployed across the precious metal free HER literature. Subsequently, we showcase some of the most commonly investigated families of precious metal free HER catalysts; molybdenum disulfide-based, transition metal phosphides, and transition metal carbides for acidic electrolyte; nickel molybdenum and transition metal phosphides for alkaline. This includes a comprehensive analysis comparing the HER activity between several families of materials highlighting the recent stagnation with regards to enhancing the intrinsic activity of precious metal free hydrogen evolution reaction catalysts. Finally, we summarize future directions and provide recommendations for the field in this area of electrocatalysis.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic overall urea splitting can achieve the dual goals of urea treatment and hydrogen energy acquisition. Herein, we exploited the principle of precipitation dissolution equilibrium to obtain bimetallic phosphide FeP/Cu3P/CF for the simultaneous oxidation of urea and reduction of water and comprehensively reveal the inherent molecular thermodynamic mechanisms on the surface of catalysts. The excellent electrochemical performance can be derived from the super water affinity and synergistic effect. Especially, the theoretical calculation unveils that the synergistic effect between FeP and Cu3P can lower the activation energy required for urea electrooxidation, thereby promoting urea splitting. In situ differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (in situ DEMS) measurements further demonstrated that urea oxidation on FeP/Cu3P/CF proceeded according to the intramolecular mechanism. This work has laid the foundation for constructing highly efficient superhydrophilic bifunctional electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic high-throughput seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production is a promising green energy technology that offers possibilities for environmental and energy sustainability. However, large-scale application is limited by the complex composition of seawater, high concentration of Cl- leading to competing reaction, and severe corrosion of electrode materials. In recent years, extensive research has been conducted to address these challenges. Metal nitrides (MNs) with excellent chemical stability and catalytic properties have emerged as ideal electrocatalyst candidates. This review presents the electrode reactions and basic parameters of the seawater splitting process, and summarizes the types and selection principles of conductive substrates with critical analysis of the design principles for seawater electrocatalysts. The focus is on discussing the properties, synthesis, and design strategies of MN-based electrocatalysts. Finally, we provide an outlook for the future development of MNs in the high-throughput seawater electrolysis field and highlight key issues that require further research and optimization.

Abstract
The sluggish kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and substantial barriers in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) significantly impede its application in hydrogen production. To address this issue and enhance energy efficiency in hydrogen generation, we explored a high-activity alkaline HER catalyst while concurrently coupling it with the urea oxidation reaction (UOR). In this work, we designed and synthesized porous molybdenum (Mo)-modulated nickel-cobalt bimetallic phosphide nanoarrays (M0.3NCP@NF). This multifunctional self-supported electrocatalyst demonstrates superior performance in HER, OER, and UOR. The introduction of Mo, in the form of CoMoO4 nanoparticles, promotes interfacial electron transfer to reduce the electron density around the cations in phosphides, enhancing the kinetics and intrinsic activity. Furthermore, the morphological changes induced by Mo accelerate both electron and mass transfer processes. Density functional theory and operando electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicate that Mo introduction optimizes the interaction with HER intermediate H*, facilitating the conversion to a high-valent active intermediate for OER and accelerating UOR kinetics. Benefiting from dual optimization of morphology and structure, the as-prepared M0.3NCP@NF electrocatalyst demonstrates outstanding HER, OER, and UOR performances. Notably, a full urea electrolysis device powered by M0.3NCP@NF operates with a cell voltage of only 1.53 V to achieve a current density of 100 mA cm-2. which is 240 mV lower than that of conventional water electrolysis, demonstrating the competitive potential of our approach for efficient and energy-saving hydrogen production, along with simultaneous urea wastewater remediation.

Abstract
Rechargeable zinc-air batteries (Re-ZABs) are one of the most promising next-generation batteries that can hold more energy while being cost-effective and safer than existing devices. Nevertheless, zinc dendrites, non-portability, and limited charge-discharge cycles have long been obstacles to the commercialization of Re-ZABs. Over the past 30 years, milestone breakthroughs have been made in technical indicators (safety, high energy density, and long battery life), battery components (air cathode, zinc anode, and gas diffusion layer), and battery configurations (flexibility and portability), however, a comprehensive review on advanced design strategies for Re-ZABs system from multiple angles is still lacking. This review underscores the progress and strategies proposed so far to pursuit the high-efficiency Re-ZABs system, including the aspects of rechargeability (from primary to rechargeable), air cathode (from unifunctional to bifunctional), zinc anode (from dendritic to stable), electrolytes (from aqueous to non-aqueous), battery configurations (from non-portable to portable), and industrialization progress (from laboratorial to practical). Critical appraisals of the advanced modification approaches (such as surface/interface modulation, nanoconfinement catalysis, defect electrochemistry, synergistic electrocatalysis, etc.) are highlighted for cost-effective flexible Re-ZABs with good sustainability and high energy density. Finally, insights are further rendered properly for the future research directions of advanced zinc-air batteries.

Abstract
A highly conductive and rationally constructed metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived metal phosphide with a carbonaceous nanostructure is a meticulous architecture toward the development of electrode materials for energy storage devices. Herein, we report a facile strategy to design and construct a new three-dimensional (3D) Cu-MOF via a solvent diffusion method at ambient temperature, which was authenticated by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study, revealing a novel topology of (2,4,7)-connected three-nodal net named smm4. Nevertheless, the poor conductivity of pristine MOFs is a major bottleneck hindering their capacitance. To overcome this, we demonstrated an MOF-derived Cu3P/Cu@NC heterostructure via low-temperature phosphorization of Cu-MOF. The electronic and ionic diffusion kinetics in Cu3P/Cu@NC were improved due to the synergistic effects of the heterostructure. The as-prepared Cu3P/Cu@NC heterostructure electrode delivers a specific capacity of 540 C g-1 at 1 A g-1 with outstanding rate performance (190 C g-1 at 20 A g-1) and cycle stability (91% capacity retention after 10,000 cycles). Moreover, the assembled asymmetric solid-state supercapacitor (ASC) achieved a high energy density/power density of 45.5 Wh kg-1/7.98 kW kg-1 with a wide operating voltage (1.6 V). Long-term stable capacity retention (87.2%) was accomplished after 5000 cycles. These robust electrochemical performances suggest that the Cu3P/Cu@NC heterostructure is a suitable electrode material for supercapacitor applications.

Abstract
A carbon matrix-supported Ni catalyst with surface/subsurface S species is prepared using a sacrificial metal-organic framework synthesis strategy. The resulting highly dispersed Ni-S/C catalyst contains surface discontinuous and electron-deficient Niδ+ sites modified by p-block S elements. This catalyst proved to be extremely active and selective for alkyne hydrogenation. Specifically, high intrinsic activity (TOF = 0.0351 s-1) and superior selectivity (>90%) at complete conversion were achieved, whereas an analogous S-free sample prepared by the same synthetic route performed poorly. That is, the incorporation of S in Ni particles and the carbon matrix exerts a remarkable positive effect on catalytic behavior for alkyne hydrogenation, breaking the activity-selectivity trade-off. Through comprehensive experimental studies, enhanced performance of Ni-S/C was ascribed to the presence of discontinuous Ni ensembles, which promote desorption of weakly π-bonded ethylene and an optimized electronic structure modified via obvious p-d orbital hybridization.

Abstract
Benefiting from the admirable energy density (1086 Wh kg-1 ), overwhelming security, and low environmental impact, rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are deemed to be attractive candidates for lithium-ion batteries. The exploration of novel oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) bifunctional catalysts is the key to promoting the development of zinc-air batteries. Transitional metal phosphides (TMPs) especially Fe-based TMPs are deemed to be a rational type of catalyst, however, their catalytic performance still needs to be further improved. Considering Fe (heme) and Cu (copper terminal oxidases) are nature's options for ORR catalysis in many forms of life from bacteria to humans. Herein, a general "in situ etch-adsorption-phosphatization" strategy is designed for the fabrication of hollow FeP/Fe2 P/Cu3 P-N, P codoped carbon (FeP/Cu3 P-NPC) catalyst as the cathode of liquid and flexible ZABs. The liquid ZABs manifest a high peak power density of 158.5 mW cm-2 and outstanding long-term cycling performance (≈1100 cycles at 2 mA cm-2 ). Similarly, the flexible ZABs deliver superior cycling stability of 81 h at 2 mA cm-2 without bending and 26 h with different bending angles.

Abstract
Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) have been considered as one of the most emerging systems for energy conversion and storage. However, the preparation of highly efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts on an air cathode is still faced with significant challenges. Herein, we report a secondary nitrogen source strategy for fine-tuning the active center, which provides a carbon-based hierarchical porous catalyst (termed Co3O4@N/CNT-1000) for highly efficient ORR activity (E1/2 = 0.87 V, JL = 5.32 mA cm-2, and Eonset = 1.021 V) and excellent stability. Controlled experiments demonstrate that such high activity derives from the synergistic effect of cobalt tetroxide and bamboo-shaped carbon nanotubes doped with nitrogen, prepared by the pyrolysis of a two-dimensional metal-organic framework nanosheet (termed NTU-70) and melamine. Furthermore, the ZAB assembled with Co3O4@N/CNT-1000 displays high specific capacity (854 mA h g-1Zn) and power density (179 mW cm-2), excellent long-term cycling (330 h), and durable charging/discharging ability.

Abstract
Ce-based materials have been widely used in photocatalysis and other fields because of their rich redox pairs and oxygen vacancies, despite research on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remaining scare. However, most pristine cerium-based materials, such as CeO2, are non-conductive materials. Therefore, how to obtain highly conductive and stable OER/ORR electrocatalysts is currently a hot research topic. To overcome these limitations, researchers have proposed a variety of strategies to promote the development of Ce-based electrocatalysts in recent years. This progress report focuses on reviewing new strategies concerning three categories of Ce-based electrocatalysts: metal-organic framework (MOF) derivatives, structure tuning, and polymetallic doping. It also puts forward the main existing problems and future prospects. The content of cerium in the crust is about 0.0046%, which is the highest among the rare earth elements. As a low-cost rare earth material, Ce-based materials have a bright future in the field of electrocatalysis due to replacing precious metal and some transition metals.

Abstract
The design of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) derived composites with multiple loss mechanisms and multi-scale micro/nano structures is an important research direction of microwave absorbing materials. Herein, multi-scale bayberry-like Ni-MOF@N-doped carbon composites (Ni-MOF@NC) are obtained by a MOF assisted strategy. By utilizing the special structure of MOF and regulating its composition, the effective improvement of Ni-MOF@NC's microwave absorption performance has been achieved. The nanostructure on the surface of core-shell Ni-MOF@NC can be regulated and N doping on carbon skeleton by adjusting the annealing temperature. The optimal reflection loss of Ni-MOF@NC is -69.6 dB at 3 mm, and the widest effective absorption bandwidth is 6.8 GHz. This excellent performance can be attributed to the strong interface polarization caused by multiple core-shell structures, the defect and dipole polarization caused by N doping, and the magnetic loss caused by Ni. Meanwhile, the coupling of magnetic and dielectric properties enhances the impedance matching of Ni-MOF@NC. The work proposes a particular idea of designing and synthesizing an applicable microwave absorption material that possesses excellent microwave absorption performance and promising application potential.

Abstract
Herein, a reaction in which the benzyl C-H bonds of alkylarenes are directly esterified by carboxylic acids to produce benzyl esters in high yields is reported. This reaction is catalyzed by Pd nanoparticles (NPs) on N-doped carbon (CN) composites based on a carbonizing Al-MIL-101(NH2) material, and no oxidants or hydrogen acceptors are required. Use of o-alkylbenzoic acids as substrates leads to phthalides, whereas with carboxylic acids and alkylarenes as the feedstock, the reaction produces the benzyl esters. These reactions that use readily available alkylarenes instead of benzyl halides or benzyl alcohols as raw materials for one-step synthesis of benzyl esters without oxidants are inherently atom- and step-efficient. The CN composites and the CN-supported Pd NP catalysts were prepared and are well characterized. The proposed mechanism involves dehydrogenation of both the carboxylic groups and the benzylic groups and the transformation of benzylic C-H bond into the C-O bond via hydrogen abstraction from the benzylic group through an organopalladium intermediate. The kinetic isotope effect (kH/kD = 2.77) indicated that C(sp3)-H bond cleavage of the alkane aromatics is the rate-determining step.

Abstract
Dropwise condensation on superhydrophobic surfaces could potentially enhance heat transfer by droplet spontaneous departure via coalescence-induced jumping. However, an uncontrolled droplet size could lead to a significant reduction of heat transfer by condensation, due to large droplets that resulted in a flooding phenomenon on the surface. Here, we introduced a dropwise condensate comb, which consisted of U-shaped protruding hydrophilic stripes and hierarchical micro-nanostructured superhydrophobic background, for a better control of condensation droplet size and departure processes. The dropwise condensate comb with a wettability-contrast surface structure induced droplet removal by flank contact rather than three-phase line contact. We showed that dropwise condensation in this structure could be controlled by designing the width of the superhydrophobic region and height of the protruding hydrophilic stripes. In comparison with a superhydrophobic surface, the average droplet radius was decreased to 12 μm, and the maximum droplet departure radius was decreased to 189 μm by a dropwise condensate comb with 500 μm width of a superhydrophobic region and 258 μm height of a protruding hydrophilic stripe. By controlling the droplet size and departure on hierarchical micro-nanostructured superhydrophobic surfaces, it was experimentally demonstrated that both the heat transfer coefficient and heat flux could be enhanced significantly. Moreover, the dropwise condensate comb showed a maximum heat transfer coefficient of 379 kW m-2 K-1 at a low subcooling temperature, which was 85% higher than that of a superhydrophobic surface, and it showed 113% improvement of high heat flux or heat transfer coefficient when it was compared with that of the hierarchical micro-nanostructured superhydrophobic surface at a high subcooling temperature of ∼10.6 K. This work could potentially transform the design and fabrication space for high-performance heat transfer devices by spatial control of condensation droplet size and departure processes.

Abstract
FeP has emerged as an appealing anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) thanks to its high theoretical capacity, safe voltage platform and rich resources. Nevertheless, sluggish charge transfer kinetics, inevitable volume expansion and easy agglomeration of active materials limit its practical applications. Here, novel Cu-doped FeP@C was synthesized by a synergistic strategy of metal doping and in situ carbon encapsulation. The optimized Cu-doped FeP@C anode demonstrates a highly reversible specific capacity (920 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1), superb rate performance (345 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1) and long-term cycle stability (340 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 600 cycles). The electrochemical mechanism was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, kinetic analysis and DFT calculations. The results reveal that carbon frameworks can improve the conductivity and slow down the volume expansion, with highly dispersed FeP facilitating Li-ion migration during the charge and discharge processes. Additionally, Cu doping leads to rearrangement of the charge density and an additional lattice distortion in FeP, which boosts the electron mobility and enriches the surface-active sites, promoting electrochemical reaction and charge storage. This study presents a feasible and effective design for developing transition metal phosphate (TMP) anodes for high-performance LIBs.

Abstract
Magnesium-sulfur (Mg-S) batteries are emerging as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries, due to their high energy density and low cost. Unfortunately, current Mg-S batteries typically suffer from the shuttle effect that originates from the dissolution of magnesium polysulfide intermediates, leading to several issues such as rapid capacity fading, large overcharge, severe self-discharge, and potential safety concern. To address these issues, here we harness a copper phosphide (Cu3P) modified separator to realize the adsorption of magnesium polysulfides and catalyzation of the conversion reaction of S and Mg2+ toward stable cycling of Mg-S cells. The bifunctional layer with Cu3P confined in a carbon matrix is coated on a commercial polypropylene membrane to form a porous membrane with high electrolyte wettability and good thermal stability. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, polysulfide permeability tests, and post-mortem analysis reveal that the catalytic layer can adsorb polysulfides, effectively restraining the shuttle effect and facilitating the reversibility of the Mg-S cells. As a result, the Mg-S cells can achieve a high specific capacity, fast rates (449 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and 249 mAh g-1 at 1.0 C), and a long cycle life (up to 500 cycles at 0.5 C) and operate even at elevated temperatures.

Abstract
Simple and green preparation of highly-performed electrocatalysts for reaction both at cathode (oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)) and anode (oxygen evolution reaction (OER)) is crucial for boosting the application of meta-air battery. CoFe alloy and nitrogen doped carbon (CoFe-NC) material was prepared by a one-step carbonization procedure to construct a highly efficient electrocatalysis in this work. CoFe-NC displays a three-dimensional (3D) flower-like morphology composed of ordered stacked 2D nanosheets, which is entangled by 1D carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Its structure and electrocatalytic performance are compared with that of nitrogen doped carbon materials obtained from 2D zeolitic-imidazolate frameworks (ZIF) with no metal or single metal, as well as 3D ZIF with bimetal. Benefiting from the multi-dimensional structure of bimetal nanoparticles, 1D CNTs, 2D nanosheets, and 3D flowers, as well as the abundant active sites of Co/Fe-Nxand pyridine nitrogen, CoFe-NC displays a high half-wave potential of 0.896 V for ORR and low overpotential of 370 mV at 10 mA cm-2for OER. Furthermore, compared with the primary and rechargeable Zn-air batteries fabricated with commercial Pt/C-RuO2catalysts, the CoFe-NC catalysts assembled Zn-air batteries show a higher specific capacity (812.2 mAh g-1), open circuit potential (1.59 V), power density (183.4 mW cm-2), and stability. Hence, a facile and environmental-friendly strategy is provided for rational design and synthesis of bifunctional electrocatalysts for zinc-air batteries.

Abstract
Cu-benzenehexathiol (Cu-BHT) has attracted significant attention due to its record high electrical conductivity and crystal defects Cu2c . However, the nonporous structure and small specific surface area of Cu-BHT with two-dimensional kagome lattice invariably limit its practical application in sensing and catalysis. In this work, Cu-BHT nanotubes (Cu-BHT-NTs) are designed and prepared via a facile homogeneous reaction to solve these problems. Compared with the traditional nanorod-like structure, the Cu-BHT-NTs not only have a higher specific surface area but also possess a higher proportion of crystal defects (66.6%). The successfully configured DPPTT/Cu-BHT-NTs heterostructure organic field-effect transistor (OFET)-based sensor exhibits excellent sensitivity as high as 13 610%, a minimum detection limits down to 5 ppb, and exceptional selectivity to nitric oxide (NO) toxic gases. Theoretical analysis systematically shows that Cu2c sites in the Cu-BHT-NTs increase the number of electrons transferred from the heterostructure to NO molecules, confirming that the high sensitivity and selectivity result from the high binding between Cu-BHT-NTs and NO molecules. Furthermore, a fully flexible device based on the heterojunction OFET sensor is prepared to ensure the convenience of wearing and carrying gas sensors, opening up a new avenue for the next generation of wearable intelligent electronics.

Abstract
Hydrogen is the mainstream future energy source because of its high energy density and environmentally-friendly properties. In this study, Fe-Co2P/NPC materials were prepared by the wet chemical synthesis method, in which Fe-Co2P nanowires were wrapped by the N, P co-doped carbon layers (NPC) under aging and phosphorylation strategies. When Fe-Co2P/NPC/NF was subjected to hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the overpotential was only 73 mV and 217 mV to reach the current density of 10 mA cm−2, respectively. When the cathode and anode were both Fe-Co2P/NPC/NF, a current density of 10 mA cm−2 was achieved with only 1.56 V. This work provides a new idea for the design and preparation of non-precious metal-based transition metal phosphide catalysts.

Abstract
The identification of hydrogen as green fuel in the near future has stirred global realization toward a sustainable outlook and thus boosted extensive research in the field of water electrolysis focusing on the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). A huge class of compounds consisting of transition metal-based nitrides, carbides, chalcogenides, phosphides, and borides, which can be collectively termed transition metal non-oxides (TMNOs), has emerged recently as an efficient class of electrocatalysts in terms of performance and longevity when compared to transition metal oxides (TMOs). Moreover, the superiority of TMNOs over TMOs to effectively catalyze not only OERs but also HERs and ORRs renders bifunctionality and even trifunctionality in some cases and therefore can replace conventional noble metal electrocatalysts. In this review, the crystal structure and phases of different classes of nanostructured TMNOs are extensively discussed, focusing on recent advances in design strategies by various regulatory synthetic routes, and hence diversified properties of TMNOs are identified to serve as next-generation bi/trifunctional electrocatalysts. The challenges and future perspectives of materials in the field of energy conversion and storage aiding toward a better hydrogen economy are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Preparing advanced electrocatalysts via solid-phase reactions encounters the challenge of low controllability for multiconstituent hybridization and microstructure modulation. Herein, a hydrothermal-mimicking solid-phase system is established to fabricate novel Fe2O3/Fe5C2/Fe-N-C composites consisting of Fe2O3/Fe5C2 nanoparticles and Fe,N-doped carbon species with varying morphologies. The evolution mechanism featuring a competitive growth of different carbon sources in a closed hypoxic space is elucidated for a series of Fe2O3/Fe5C2/Fe-N-C composites. The size and dispersity of Fe2O3/Fe5C2 nanoparticles, the graphitization degree of the carbonaceous matrix, and their diverse hybridization states lead to disparate electrocatalytic behaviors for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Among them, microspherical Fe2O3/Fe5C2/Fe-N-C-3 exhibits an optimal ORR performance and the as-assembled zinc-air battery shows all-round superiority to the Pt/C counterpart. This work presents a mild solid-phase fabrication technique for obtaining a variety of nanocomposites with effective control over composition hybridization and microstructural modulation, which is significantly important for the design and optimization of advanced electrocatalysts.

Abstract
A pair of novel multifunctional MOF materials [Cd2(L)2(D/L-Lm)(H2O)2]·5H2O (denoted as D/L-Cd-MOF) has been synthesized by combining the viologen-functionalized ligand H2L+Cl- and chiral D/L-tartaric acid (H2Lm) with a simple solvothermal method. Due to the unique photoelectric response properties of the viologen units, reversible photochromic and electrochromic properties have been combined in D/L-Cd-MOF, which points to a new way of designing and constructing multifunctional photoelectric materials.

Abstract
Transition metal single-atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as a research hotspot in CO2RRs. However, tuning the electronic configuration of a metal single-atom by employing new heteroatoms still remains a challenge. Herein, a carbon matrix loaded with a N and P co-coordinated Ni single-atom (denoted as Ni-NPC) was prepared for an efficient CO2RR. XANES and EXAFS were conducted to explore the coordination environment and charge distribution of the Ni-NPC catalyst. DFT calculations indicated that the Ni atom gained electrons from the P atom, and the Ni-NPC sample had a decreased energy barrier of +0.97 eV after doping with P atoms, which was favorable to overcome the limiting-step bottleneck for promoting CO2RR. Due to the rich Ni atomic active sites and superior P-doping effect, Ni-NPC exhibited a maximum FECO of 92% with a high current density of 22.6 mA cm-2 at -0.8V vs. RHE, which was far superior to those of NC, NPC and Ni-NC catalysts. Moreover, both the FECO and current density of the Ni-NPC catalyst remained stable for more than 16 h at -0.8 V vs. RHE, indicating a high stability for long-term CO2RR experiments.

Abstract
The trade-off of Fenton-like catalysts in activity and stability remains a challenge in practical remediation applications. In this work, we successfully synthesized an efficient and stable catalyst comprised of single nickel (Ni) atoms dispersed on N-doped porous carbon (named Ni-SAs@CN) through a simple micropore confinement strategy. The catalyst exhibited outstanding catalytic performance with 25.8 min-1 turnover frequency for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation toward degradation of various organic pollutants (e.g., antibiotics, dyes, and plasticizers) in a wide pH range (4.5-10.8). Electron paramagnetic resonance and in situ Raman analyses demonstrated that both radical (including SO4•- and •OH) and Ni-PMS* dominated nonradical (via electron transfer) pathways played pivotal role in the decomposition of organics. The X-ray adsorption fine structure analysis and computational pieces of evidence demonstrate that the atomically dispersed NiN4 coordination is the intrinsic catalytic site for PMS activation. Meanwhile, pyrrolic N acts as a functional site to anchor target contaminants to the surface region for oxidation. In this process which is benefited from the dual active sites, the target contaminants were degraded via combined radical and nonradical pathways, which significantly boost the overall oxidation and mineralization kinetics.

Abstract
Amongst various futuristic renewable energy sources, hydrogen fuel is deemed to be clean and sustainable. Electrochemical water splitting (EWS) is an advanced technology to produce pure hydrogen in a cost-efficient manner. The electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are the vital steps of EWS and have been at the forefront of research over the past decades. The low-cost nanostructured metal phosphide (MP)-based electrocatalysts exhibit unconventional physicochemical properties and offer very high turnover frequency (TOF), low over potential, high mass activity with improved efficiency, and long-term stability. Therefore, they are deemed to be potential electrocatalysts to meet practical challenges for supporting the future hydrogen economy. This review discusses the recent research progress in nanostructured MP-based catalysts with an emphasis given on in-depth understanding of catalytic activity and innovative synthetic strategies for MP-based catalysts through combined experimental (in situ/operando techniques) and theoretical investigations. Finally, the challenges, critical issues, and future outlook in the field of MP-based catalysts for water electrolysis are addressed.

Abstract
Single-atom Fe catalysts have shown great potential for Fenton-like technology in organic pollutant decomposition. However, the underlying reaction pathway and the identification of Fe active sites capable of activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) across a wide pH range remain unknown. We presented a novel strategy for deciphering the production of singlet oxygen (1O2) by regulating the Fe active sites in this study. Fe single atoms loaded on nitrogen-doped porous carbon (FeSA-CN) catalysts were synthesized using a cage encapsulation method and compared to Fe-nanoparticle-loaded catalysts. It was discovered that FeSA-CN catalysts served as efficient PMS activators for pollutant decomposition over a wide pH range. Several analytical measurements and density functional theory calculations revealed that the pyridinic N-ligated Fe single atom (Fe-pyridine N4) was involved in the production of 1O2 by the binding of two PMS ions, resulting in an excellent catalytic performance for PMS adsorption/activation. This work has the potential to not only improve the understanding of nonradical reaction pathway but to also provide a generalizable method for producing highly stable PMS activators with high activity for practical wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Rational design, controllable synthesis, and an in-depth mechanism study of Cu-based bifunctional semiconductor heterostructures toward overall water splitting (OWS) are imperative but still face challenges. Herein, n-type iron oxide and p-type nickel phosphide and cobalt phosphide are respectively coupled with p-type cuprous phosphide nanowires on Cu foams via a general growth-phosphorization strategy. These self-supported semiconductor heterojunctions with different built-in potentials (EBI) are used as binder-free electrodes for OWS and exhibit significantly improved electrocatalytic activities compared to their counterparts. Among them, the heterostructure with the largest EBI of 1.57 V attains the smallest overpotential of 97 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for the hydrogen evolution reaction and 243 mV at 50 mA cm-2 for the oxygen evolution reaction in 1 M KOH. The corresponding two-electrode electrolyzer requires a cell voltage of 1.685 V at 50 mA cm-2 and shows admirable long-term stability at 100 mA cm-2 with a Faraday efficiency of around 98%. These promoted electrocatalytic performances originate from the enhanced active site, accelerated charge transfer, enlarged electrochemical active surface area, and synergy between different components at the heterointerface. This work represents a promising avenue to construct cost-efficient semiconductor heterostructures as bifunctional electrocatalysts applied to the sustainable energy industry.

Abstract
Packaging electrocatalysts with carbon shells offers an opportunity to develop stable and effective hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) materials. Here, an ultrathin N-doped carbon-coated self-supported WP nanowire array (WP@NC NA) hybrid has been synthesized. Owing to the encapsulation of the ultrathin N-doped carbon shell on the WP surface, the as-prepared WP@NC NA hybrid exhibits enhanced physicochemical stability, more active sites, and superior conductivity compared with WP NA without carbon coating. Besides, density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the carbon shell can optimize the hydrogen adsorption step in the acidic HER, and simultaneously facilitate water physical adsorption, water dissociation, and hydroxyl group desorption steps during the alkaline HER. These findings demonstrate the intrinsic mechanism of how a carbon shell promotes the acidic and alkaline HER kinetics, and provide scientific guidance for the packaging design of promising carbon-encapsulating self-supported electrocatalysts.
