Abstract
Addressing the challenges of enhancing water-splitting efficiency necessitates the exploration and rational design of high-performance and durable electrocatalysts with appealing nanoarchitectures. In this study, we present the design and fabrication of conjugated cMOF/LDH hetero-nano petals decorated with monodispersed Metal-N sites, which are uniformly shelled over tungsten oxynitride (WNO) nanowire arrays to form a unique core-shell architecture. For this rational engineering, WNO nanowire arrays were grown on carbon cloth. Then, a thin-layered Ru-Co-Fe layered double hydroxide (RuCoFe/LDH) was deposited around these wires, resulting in a highly porous three-dimensional array of hierarchical hetero RuCoFe-LDHs@WNO-NWs core-shell nanowires (RuCoFe-NSs@WNO-NWs). Subsequently, the linkers coordinated with the RuCoFe-LDH nanosheets and transformed them in-situ into the RuCoFe-cMOF nano petals (RuCoFe-NPs@WNO-NWs). Notably, the linker's amino groups functioned as hooks for precisely anchoring and stabilizing metal sites, forming the metal nitride (M-N) moieties. Interestingly, the designed bi-functional catalyst exhibited superior catalytic activities for both OER (230 mV @ 10 mAcm-2) and HER (49 mV @ 10 mAcm-2) in an alkaline medium. Additionally, an electrolyzer cell employing Ru-CoFe-NPs@WNO-NWs as a bi-functional electrocatalyst required 1.49V to reach a current density of 10 mA cm-2. These remarkable catalytic performances can be attributed to several key factors, including opulent exposed active sites, an efficient charge/mass transport pathway, an optimized electronic structure, and an interfacial synergy effect. Hence, this study provides a new perspective for the design of efficient bi-functional electrocatalysts for use in the energy related electrochemical devices.

Abstract
By utilizing Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials as a base, constructing electrocatalysts with heterogeneous structures offers advantages for catalyzing water splitting. In this study, a hollow heterogeneous nanocatalyst, Ir-MIL-88A@NiFe-LDHs, was prepared by growing a layered double hydroxides (LDHs) shell on MIL-88A substrate. The catalyst shows excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance in a 1.0 M KOH solution, requiring only 217 mV overpotential to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 with a Tafel slope of 62.18 mV dec-1, indicating significant electrocatalytic performance and reaction kinetics characteristics. Furthermore, long-term OER testing also demonstrates the catalyst's outstanding stability. Emphasizing the interfacial interaction between MOF and LDHs, as well as the synergistic effect among Ni, Fe, and Ir elements, the study highlights how these factors collaboratively control the local electronic structure of the hollow Ir-MIL-88A@NiFe-LDHs, resulting in an efficient MOF-derived electrocatalyst.

Abstract
Improving the water stability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is essential for their use in water pollution treatment and environmental remediation, though it remains technically challenging. Herein, we report a novel cationic MOF constructed with [Th6O4(OH)4(COO)12] units and [CoN4·Cl2] units possessing a ftw-type topology (denoted as 1-Th-Co). 1-Th-Co itself exhibited poor water stability but excellent stability following a palladium(II) modulation strategy. Experimental studies reveal that Co(II) ions in 1-Th-Co were replaced by Pd(II) ions through cation exchange in N,N-diethylformamide (yielding 1-Th-Pd). The planar PdN4 units in 1-Th-Pd were responsible for improving the water stability of the framework. As a result, 1-Th-Pd offered excellent stability, fast adsorption kinetics, and high removal ratios for 99TcO4- and ReO4- (as a 99TcO4- surrogate) in contaminated water. When used in packed columns, 1-Th-Pd can dynamically capture ReO4- from groundwater. This work provides a new avenue for improving the water stability of MOFs, offering new vistas for the decontamination of aqueous solutions containing 99TcO4- and ReO4-.

Abstract
Development of luminescent segmented heterostructures featuring multiple spatial-responsive blocks is important to achieve miniaturized photonic barcodes toward anti-counterfeit applications. Unfortunately, dynamic manipulation of the spatial color at micro/nanoscale still remains a formidable challenge. Here, a straightforward strategy is proposed to construct spatially varied heterostructures through amplifying the conformation-driven response in flexible lanthanide-metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs), where the thermally induced minor conformational changes in organic donors dramatically modulate the photoluminescence of Ln acceptors. Notably, compositionally and structurally distinct heterostructures (1D and 2D) are further constructed through epitaxial growth of multiple responsive MOF blocks benefiting from the isomorphous Ln-MOF structures. The thermally controlled emissive colors with distinguishable spectra carry the fingerprint information of a specific heterostructure, thus allowing for the effective construction of smart photonic barcodes with spatially responsive characteristics. The results will deepen the understanding of the conformation-driven responsive mechanism and also provide guidance to fabricate complex stimuli-responsive hierarchical microstructures for advanced optical recording and high-security labels.

Abstract
CoFe bimetallic organic frameworks (CoFe-MOFs) with tunable morphology and electronic structure are synthesized in situ utilizing cobalt hydroxide (Co(OH)2) as a semi-sacrificial template and different anionic iron salts as modifying factors in a non-calcined synthesis method. This work defines the impact of three different anionic metallic iron salts (FeCl3, Fe(NO3)3, and Fe2(SO4)3) on the morphology of MOF materials and their resulting oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalytic activity. Employing ferric chloride (FeCl3) as the metallic iron source, heterostructured electrocatalysts (BN-CoFe-MOF) with nanoparticles decorated nanoneedle tips are obtained, exhibiting a low overpotential (230 mV at 10 mA cm-2) and a Tafel slope of 105.6 mV dec-1 in 1.0 M KOH. It also demonstrates long time stability for at least 50 h at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The investigation uncovers that the splendid OER activity and stability of the BN-CoFe-MOF heterojunction can be attributed to its large specific surface area, desirable mesoporous structure, superaerophobic characteristic, and high exposure of active centers. This work not only provides an efficient and cost-effective MOF based OER electrocatalyst but also serves as a valuable reference for future research on morphology control and strategies to enhance the OER activity of MOF catalysts.

Abstract
Polymetallic phosphides exhibit favorable conductivities. A reasonable design of nano-metal-organic frame (MOF) composite morphologies and in situ introduction of polymetallic phosphides into the framework can effectively improve electrolyte penetration and rapid electron transfer. To address existing challenges, Ni, with a strong coordination ability with N, is introduced to partially replace Co in nano-Co-MOF composite. The hollow nanostructure is stabilized through CoNi bimetallic coordination and low-temperature controllable polymetallic phosphide generation rate. The Ni, Co, and P atoms, generated during reduction, effectively enhance electron transfer rate within the framework. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) characterization results further confirm the existence of Ni-N, Ni-Ni, and Co-Co structures in the nanocomposite. The changes in each component during the charge-discharge process of the electrochemical reactions are investigated using in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD). Theoretical calculations further confirm that P can effectively improve conductivity. VZNPGC//MXene MSCs, constructed with active materials derived from the hollow nano MOF composites synthesized through the Ni2+ stabilization strategy, demonstrate a specific capacitance of 1184 mF cm-2, along with an energy density of 236.75 µWh cm-2 (power density of 0.14 mW cm-2). This approach introduces a new direction for the synthesis of highly conductive nano-MOF composites.

Abstract
The discovery of non-precious catalysts for replacing the precious metal of ruthenium in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) represents a key step in reducing the cost of green hydrogen production. The 2D d-MHOFs, a new 2D materials with controllable oxygen vacancies formed by controlling the degree of coordination bridging between metal hydroxyl oxide and BDC ligands are synthesized at room temperature, exhibit excellent OER properties with low overpotentials of 207 mV at 10 mA cm-2. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy images and density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the introduction of oxygen vacancy sites leads to a lattice distortion and charge redistribution in the catalysts, enhancing the OER activity of 2D d-MHOFs comprehensively. Synchrotron radiation and in situ Raman/Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicate that part of oxygen defect sites on the surface of 2D d-MHOFs are prone to transition to highly active metal hydroxyl oxides during the OER process. This work provides a mild strategy for scalable preparation of 2D d-MHOFs nanosheets with controllable oxygen defects, reveals the relationship between oxygen vacancies and OER performance, and offers a profound insight into the basic process of structural transformation in the OER process.

Abstract
Designing and fabricating highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalytic materials for water splitting is a promising and practical approach to green and sustainable low-carbon energy systems. Herein, a facile in situ growth self-template strategy by using ZIF-67 as a consumable layered double hydroxides (LDHs) template and silver nanowires (AgNWs) as 1D conductive cascaded substrate to controllably synthesize the target AgNWs@CoFe-LDH composites with unique hollow shell sugar gourd-like structure and enhanced directional electron transport effect is reported. The AgNWs exhibit the key functions of the close connection of CoFe-LDH nanocages and the support of the directional electron transport effect in the composite catalyst inducing electrons directionally moving from CoFe-LDH to AgNWs. Meanwhile, the CoFe-LDH nanocages with ultrathin nanosheets and hollow structural properties show abundant active sites for electrocatalytic oxygen generation. The versatile AgNWs@CoFe-LDH catalyst with optimized components, enhanced directional electron transport, and synergistic effect achieves high OER performance with the overpotential of 207 mV and long-term 50 h stability at 10 mA cm-2 in an alkaline medium. Moreover, in-depth insights into the microstructure, structure-activity relationships, identification of key intermediate species, and a proton-coupled four-electron OER mechanism based on experimental discovery and theoretical calculation are also demonstrated.

Abstract
The fouling phenomenon of membranes has hindered the rapid development of separation technology in wastewater treatment. The integration of materials into membranes with both excellent separation performance and self-cleaning properties still pose challenges. Here, a self-assembled composite membrane with solar-driven self-cleaning performance is reported for the treatment of complex oil-water emulsions. The mechanical robustness of the composite membrane is enhanced by the electrostatic attraction between chitosan and metal-organic frameworks (MOF) CuCo-HHTP as well as the crosslinking effect of glutaraldehyde. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations also revealed the hydrogen bonding interaction between chitosan and CuCo-HHTP. The composite membrane of CuCo-HHTP-5@CS/MPVDF exhibits a high flux ranging from 700.6 to 2350.6 L∙m-2∙h-1∙bar-1 and excellent separation efficiency (>99.0%) for various oil-water emulsions, including crude oil, kerosene, and other light oils. The addition of CuCo-HHTP shows remarkable photothermal effects, thus demonstrating excellent solar-driven self-cleaning capability and antibacterial performance (with an efficiency of ≈100%). Furthermore, CuCo-HHTP-5@CS/MPVDF can activate peroxomonosulfate (PMS) under sunlight, quickly removing oil-fouling and dyes. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the bimetallic sites of Cu and Co in CuCo-HHTP effectively promoted the activation of PMS. This study provides distinctive insights into the multifaceted applications of MOFs-derived photothermal anti-fouling composite membranes.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 661:139-149.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted considerable attention in the field of energy storage and conversion due to their large specific surface area, regulatable pore structure and composition. However, the poor electrical conductivity and few active sites of MOFs impede their application. Herein, highly conductive MXene nanosheets are introduced to modulate the electronic conductivity and structure of rod-like Co-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (Co-PDC), and thus enhancing the electrochemical performance of MOFs. The heterostructural Co-PDC/MXene (CPM) was facily synthesized at room temperature. The as-prepared CPM-30 with 30 % MXene only requires the overpotential of 75.1 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and the assembled electrolytic cell with CPM-30 and RuO2 as cathode and anode electrodes can achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at a voltage of 1.65 V. In addition, CPM-10 exhibits a high specific capacitance of 583.1 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and an excellent rate performance of 41.6 % at 50 A g-1. Furthermore, the assembled asymmetric supercapacitor CPM-10//AC exhibited an energy density of 15.55 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 750 W kg-1 and excellent stability with a capacitance retention rate of 95 % after 10,000 cycles. The excellent electrochemical properties of Co-PDC/MXene are attributed to the unique structure and synergistic effect of Co-PDC and MXene.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts. Chemically bonded MOFs on supports are desirable yet lacking in routine synthesis, as they may allow variable structural evolution and the underlying structure-activity relationship to be disclosed. Herein, direct MOF synthesis is achieved by an organic acid-etching strategy (AES). Using π-conjugated ferrocene (Fc) dicarboxylic acid as the etching agent and organic ligand, a series of MFc-MOF (M=Ni, Co, Fe, Zn) nanosheets are synthesized on the metal supports. The crystal structure is studied using X-ray diffraction and low-dose transmission electron microscopy, which is quasi-lattice-matched with that of the metal, enabling in situ MOF growth. Operando Raman and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy disclose that the NiFc-MOF features dynamic structural rebuilding during OER. The reconstructed one showing optimized electronic structures with an upshifted total d-band center, high M-O bonding state occupancy, and localized electrons on adsorbates indicated by density functional theory calculations, exhibits outstanding OER performance with a fairly low overpotential (130 mV at 10 mA cm-2 ) and good stability (144 h). The newly established approach for direct MOF synthesis and structural reconstruction disclosure stimulate the development of more prudent catalysts for advancing OER.

Abstract
In this research, we present a novel design protocol for the in-situ synthesis of MgAl layered double hydroxide-copper metal-organic frameworks (LDH-MOFs) nanocomposite based on the electrocoagulation process and chemical method. The overall goal in this project is the primary synthesis of para-phthalic acid (PTA) intercalated MgAl-LDH with Cu (II) ions to produce the paddle-wheel like Cu-(PTA) MOFs nanocrystals on/in the MgAl-LDH structure. The physicochemical properties of final product; Cu-(PTA) MOFs/MgAl-LDH, were characterized by the surface analysis and chemical identification methods (SEM, EDX, TEM, XRD, BET, FTIR, CHN, DLS, etc.). The Cu-(PTA) MOFs/MgAl-LDH nanocomposite was used to modification of the carbon paste electrode (CPE); Cu-(PTA) MOFs/MgAl-LDH/CPE. The electrochemical performance of Cu-(PTA) MOFs/MgAl-LDH/CPE was demonstrated through the utilization of electrochemical methods. The results show a stable redox behavior of the Cu (III)/Cu (II) at the surface of Cu-(PTA) MOFs/MgAl-LDH/CPE in alkaline medium (aqueous 0.1 M NaOH electrolyte). Then, the Cu-(PTA) MOFs/MgAl-LDH/CPE was used as a new electrocatalyst toward the oxidation of formaldehyde (FA). Electrochemical data show that the Cu-(PTA) MOFs/MgAl-LDH/CPE exhibits superior electrocatalytic performance on the oxidation of FA. Also the diffusion coefficient, exchange current density (J°) and mean value of catalytic rate constant (Kcat) were found to be 1.18 × 10-6 cm2 s-1, 23 mA cm-2 and 0.4537 × 104 cm3 mol-1 s-1, respectively. In general, it can be said the Cu-(PTA) MOFs/MgAl-LDHs is promising candidate for applications in direct formaldehyde fuel cells.

Abstract
Electron modulation presents a captivating approach to fabricate efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), yet it remains a challenging undertaking. In this study, an effective strategy is proposed to regulate the electronic structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by the construction of MOF-on-MOF heterogeneous architectures. As a representative heterogeneous architectures, MOF-74 on MOF-274 hybrids are in situ prepared on 3D metal substrates (NiFe alloy foam (NFF)) via a two-step self-assembly method, resulting in MOF-(74 + 274)@NFF. Through a combination of spectroscopic and theory calculation, the successful modulation of the electronic property of MOF-(74 + 274)@NFF is unveiled. This modulation arises from the phase conjugation of the two MOFs and the synergistic effect of the multimetallic centers (Ni and Fe). Consequently, MOF-(74 + 274)@NFF exhibits excellent OER activity, displaying ultralow overpotentials of 198 and 223 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in the 1.0 and 0.1 M KOH solutions, respectively. This work paves the way for manipulating the electronic structure of electrocatalysts to enhance their catalytic activity.

Abstract
Cobalt Iron -layered double hydroxide (CoFe-LDH) nano sheets were attached to Nickel-metal organic frameworks (Ni-MOF) by utilizing hydrothermal reaction method, and CoFe-LDH@Ni-MOF was synthesized and worked as the cathode catalyst in microbial fuel cell. The surface of this composite material provided generous electrochemical active sites, consisting of wrinkled strips of CoFe-LDH adhering to a lamellar structure of Ni-MOF. In terms of the maximum output power density, CoFe-LDH@Ni-MOF as the catalyst was 211 mW/m2, 2.54 times higher than that of Ni-MOF (83 mW/m2), and it was stable at about 225 mV for 150 h. CoFe-LDH@Ni-MOF showed high oxygen reduction reaction capability and high specific surface area, and the electron transfer rate was accelerated. This work might set the stage for the development and utilization of fuel cell cathode catalysts.

Abstract
The formation of crystal-amorphous (c-a) interfaces by modulating the crystallinity of the material is a promising strategy for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, a recrystallization growth at room temperature to regulate the crystallinity of catalysts is reported. The MoFeNi hydroxide precursor was synthesized by the solvothermal method, and then the crystallinity of the material was controlled by adjusting the concentration of Na2S in the immersion solution. These c-a heterogeneous interfaces significantly improved the OER activity of the catalysts while ensuring structural stability. The best catalyst exhibited a low overpotential of 195 mV to reach 10 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH. It also showed good stability, operating stably at high current densities for 96 h without significant degradation. In addition, the anode of the two-electrode water splitting electrolyzer required only 1.46 V to reach 10 mA cm-2 and operated for a long time without significant degradation. This method will provide new insights and perspectives for developing efficient and stable OER catalysts.

Abstract
The development of highly active and stable electrode materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for the widespread application of electrochemical energy conversion systems. In recent years, various metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with self-supporting array structures have been extensively studied because of their high porosity, abundant metal sites, and flexible and adjustable structures. This review provides an overview of the recent progress in the design, preparation, and applications of MOF-based nanoarrays for the OER, beginning with the introduction of the architectural advantages of the nanoarrays and the characteristics of MOFs. Subsequently, the design principles of robust and efficient MOF-based nanoarrays as OER electrodes are highlighted. Furthermore, detailed discussions focus on the composition, structure, and performance of pristine MOF nanoarrays (MOFNAs) and MOF-based composite nanoarrays. On the one hand, the effects of the two components of MOFs and several modification methods are discussed in detail for MOFNAs. On the other hand, the review emphasizes the use of MOF-based composite nanoarrays composed of MOFs and other nanomaterials, such as oxides, hydroxides, oxyhydroxides, chalcogenides, MOFs, and metal nanoparticles, to guide the rational design of efficient OER electrodes. Finally, perspectives on current challenges, opportunities, and future directions in this research field are provided.

Abstract
Highly efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalyst will determine the mass distributions of hydrogen-powered clean technologies, while still faces grand challenges. In this work, a synergistic ligand modulation plus Co doping strategy is applied to 1T-MoS2 catalyst via CoMo-metal-organic frameworks precursors, boosting the HER catalytic activity and durability of 1T-MoS2 . Confirmed by Cs corrected transmission electron microscope and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, the polydentate 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane ligand can stably link with two-dimensional 1T-MoS2 layers through cobalt sites to expand interlayer spacing of MoS2 (Co-1T-MoS2 -bpe), which promotes active site exposure, accelerates water dissociation, and optimizes the adsorption and desorption of H in alkaline HER processes. Theoretical calculations indicate the promotions in the electronic structure of 1T-MoS2 originate in the formation of three-dimensional metal-organic constructs by linking π-conjugated ligand, which weakens the hybridization between Mo-3d and S-2p orbitals, and in turn makes S-2p orbital more suitable for hybridization with H-1s orbital. Therefore, Co-1T-MoS2 -bpe exhibits excellent stability and exceedingly low overpotential for alkaline HER (118 mV at 10 mA cm-2 ). In addition, integrated into an anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzer, Co-1T-MoS2 -bpe is much superior to the Pt/C catalyst at the large current densities. This study provides a feasible ligand modulation strategy for designs of two-dimensional catalysts.

Abstract
Inducing the surface reconstruction of spinels is critical for improving the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity. Herein, S-doped NiCo2O4 hollow cubic nanocage was synthesized by anion etching Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) template and air annealing strategies. The hollow structure possesses a large specific surface area and pore size, facilitating active site exposure and mass transport. S2- doping regulates the electronic structure, reducing the oxidation potential of Ni sites during the OER process, thus promoting the surface reconstruction into γ-NiOOH active species. Meanwhile, S2- doping enhances conductivity, accelerating interfacial charge transfer. As a result, S-NiCo2O4-6 exhibits superior OER activity (262 mV overpotential @ 10 mA cm-2) and stability in 1.0 M KOH solution. Furthermore, 20 % Pt/C‖S-NiCo2O4-6 only needs 1.832 V to achieve 50 mA (the electrochemical active area is 4 cm2) in a homemade anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer. This work proposes a novel approach for preparing efficient anion-doped spinel-based OER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Photocatalytic oxygen reduction is regarded as the cleanest approach for the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Herein, oxygen-modified graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with nitrogen-defect (namely g-C3N4-ND4-OM3) was synthesized by a feasible method. Owing to the existence of nitrogen vacancy and oxygen-containing functional group, the absorption bands derived from n → π* and π → π* electronic transitions were enhanced, thereby enlarging the visible light response range of catalysts. Interestingly, nitrogen-defect can capture electron and effectively suppress the recombination of photoinduced electrons and holes. More importantly, the introduction of oxygen-containing functional groups can improve the hydrophilicity of g-C3N4, which was beneficial for the adsorption of dissolved oxygen. The electrostatic potential distributions of g-C3N4-based photocatalyst structural unit were also changed after introducing nitrogen vacancy and oxygen-containing functional group, and the electron-donating ability of g-C3N4 was improved. As a result, the evolution rate of H2O2 catalyzed by g-C3N4-ND4-OM3 was as high as 146.96 μmol/g/L under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic H2O2 generation was completed through the direct 2-e- oxygen reduction. In short, current work will share novel insights into photocatalytic H2O2 generation over g-C3N4-based catalyst.

Abstract
Bimetallic layered double hydroxide is considered an ideal electrocatalytic material. However, due to the poor electrical conductivity of the bimetallic layered structure, obtaining highly active and stable catalysts through facile regulation strategies remains a great challenge. Herein, we use a simple corrosion strategy and nitrogen plasma technology to convert cobalt-based metal-organic frameworks into nitrogen-doped CoMn bimetallic layered double hydroxides (CoMn-LDH). Under the condition of regulating the local coordination environment of the catalytic active site and the presence of rich oxygen vacancy defects, N@CoMn-LDH/CC generates a low overpotential of 219 mV at 10 mA cm-2, which exceeds that of the commercial RuO2 catalyst. Density functional theory calculation shows that nitrogen doping improves the adsorption energy of the Mn site for oxygen evolution intermediates and reduces the reaction energy barrier of the Co site. Meanwhile, experiments and theoretical calculations verify that the mechanism of nitrogen doping regulating the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) follows the lattice oxygen oxidation mechanism, avoiding the collapse of the structure caused by catalyst reconstruction, thus improving the stability of oxygen evolution. This work provides a new simple strategy for the preparation of catalysts for a superior electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction.

Abstract
Designing definite transition metal heterointerfaces is considered an effective strategy for the construction of efficient and robust oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts, but rather challenging. Herein, amorphous NiFe hydr(oxy)oxide nanosheet arrays (A-NiFe HNSAs) are grown in situ on the surface of a self-supporting Ni metal-organic frameworks (SNMs) electrode via a combination strategy of ion exchange and hydrolytic co-deposition for efficient and stable large-current-density water oxidation. The existence of the abundant metal-oxygen bonds on the heterointerfaces can not only be of great significance to alter the electronic structure and accelerate the reaction kinetics, but also enable the redistribution of Ni/Fe charge density to effectively control the adsorption behavior of important intermediates with a close to the optimal d-band center, dramatically narrowing the energy barriers of the OER rate-limiting steps. By optimizing the electrode structure, the A-NiFe HNSAs/SNMs-NF exhibits outstanding OER performance with small overpotentials of 223 and 251 mV at 100 and 500 mA cm-2 , a low Tafel slope of 36.3 mV dec-1 , and excellent durability during 120 h at 10 mA cm-2 . This work significantly provides an avenue to understand and realize rationally designed heterointerface structures toward effective oxygen evolution in water-splitting applications.

Abstract
Using adenine and metal ions to form secondary building units (SBUs), further connected by a highly symmetrical multicarboxylic linker to construct an amino-modified porous framework with high porosity, is an effective strategy. By regulating the deprotonation and hydrolysis capacity of the synthesized solvent, it is possible to obtain different charged frameworks. In this work, two stable anionic/neutral MOFs, (Et2NH2)[Zn3(TCPE)(adenine)2CH3COO]·DEF·3H2O (1) and [Zn3.5(adenine)(TCPE)1.5(DMA)(H2O)0.5]·2DMA·2H2O (2), have been synthesized based on zinc-adeninate building units and symmetric tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)ethylene (H4TCPE) in N,N-diethylformamide (DEF) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) reaction systems, respectively. 1 is an anionic framework based on 1D rod zinc-adeninate SBU, containing 1D rectangular (14.3 × 6.3 Å2) and square (14.3 × 14.3 Å2) channels. While 2 is a neutral framework built from isolated zinc-adeninate SBU, it contains hexagonal cages with a dimension of 5.5 Å in the structure. Both of them have high porosity (61.6% for 1 and 46.3% for 2) and high stability in a wide range of pH. 1 and 2 show high C2H2 adsorption capacity at 298 K (48.1 and 70.1 cm3 g-1, respectively) and selective capacity for C2H2/CO2 mixtures, which was confirmed by the breakthrough experiments. Furthermore, the interaction between the frameworks and gas molecules has also been explained by theoretical calculation. This work provides a good example of the design and regulation of porous structures for adsorption and separation functions.

Abstract
Fe-doped Ni (oxy)hydroxide shows intriguing activity toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solution, yet it remains challenging to further boost its performance. In this work, a ferric/molybdate (Fe3+ /MoO4 2- ) co-doping strategy is reported to promote the OER activity of Ni oxyhydroxide. The reinforced Fe/Mo-doped Ni oxyhydroxide catalyst supported by nickel foam (p-NiFeMo/NF) is synthesized via a unique oxygen plasma etching-electrochemical doping route, in which precursor Ni(OH)2 nanosheets are first etched by oxygen plasma to form defect-rich amorphous nanosheets, followed by electrochemical cycling to trigger simultaneously Fe3+ /MoO4 2- co-doping and phase transition. This p-NiFeMo/NF catalyst requires an overpotential of only 274 mV to reach 100 mA cm-2 in alkaline media, exhibiting significantly enhanced OER activity compared to NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) catalyst and other analogs. Its activity does not fade even after 72 h uninterrupted operation. In situ Raman analysis reveals that the intercalation of MoO4 2- is able to prevent the over-oxidation of NiOOH matrix from β to γ phase, thus keeping the Fe-doped NiOOH at the most active state.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be customized through modular assembly to achieve a wide range of potential applications, based on their desired functionality. However, most of the initially reported MOFs are limited to microporous systems and are not sufficiently stable, which restricts their popularization. Heterogeneity is introduced into a simple MOF framework to create MOF-based heterostructures with fascinating properties and interesting functions. Heterogeneity can be introduced into the MOFs via postsynthetic/ligand exchange. Although the ligand exchange has shown potential, it is difficult to precisely control the degree of exchange or position. Among the various synthesis strategies, hierarchical assembly is particularly attractive for constructing MOF-based heterostructures, as it can achieve precise regulation of MOF-based heterostructured nanostructures. The hierarchical assembly significantly expands the compositional diversity of MOF-based heterostructures, which has high elasticity for lattice matching during the epitaxial growth of MOFs. This review focuses on the synthetic evolution mechanism of hierarchical assemblies of MOF-based nanoarchitectures. Subsequently, the precise control of pore structure, pore size, and morphology of MOF-based nanoarchitectures by hierarchical assembly is emphasized. Finally, possible solutions to address the challenges associated with heterogeneous interfaces are presented, and potential opportunities for innovative applications are proposed.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocomposites have recently gained intensive attention for biosensing and disease therapy applications owing to their outstanding physiochemical properties. However, the direct growth of MOF nanocomposites is usually hindered by the mismatched lattice in the interface between the MOF and other nanocomponents. Surface ligands, molecules with surfactant-like properties, are demonstrated to exhibit the robust capability to modify the interfacial properties of nanomaterials and can be utilized as a powerful strategy for the synthesis of MOF nanocomposites. Besides this, surface ligands also exhibit significant functions in the morphological control and functionalization of MOF nanocomposites, thus greatly enhancing their performance in biomedical applications. In this review, the surface ligand-assisted synthesis and biomedical applications of MOF nanocomposites are comprehensively reviewed. Firstly, the synthesis of MOF nanocomposites is discussed according to the diverse roles of surface ligands. Then, MOF nanocomposites with different properties are listed with their applications in biosensing and disease therapy. Finally, current challenges and further directions of MOF nanocomposites are presented to motivate the development of MOF nanocomposites with elaborate structures, enriched functions, and excellent application prospects.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) underpins many aspects of energy storage and conversion in modern industry and technology, but which still be suffering from the dilemma of sluggish reaction kinetics and poor electrochemical performance. Different from the viewpoint of nanostructuring, this work focuses on an intriguing dynamic orbital hybridization approach to renormalize the disordering spin configuration in porous noble-metal-free metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to accelerate the spin-dependent reaction kinetics in OER. Herein, we propose an extraordinary super-exchange interaction to reconfigure the domain direction of spin nets at porous MOFs through temporarily bonding with dynamic magnetic ions in electrolytes under alternating electromagnetic field stimulation, in which the spin renormalization from disordering low-spin state to high-spin state facilitates rapid water dissociation and optimal carrier migration, leading to a spin-dependent reaction pathway. Therefore, the spin-renormalized MOFs demonstrate a mass activity of 2,095.1 A gmetal-1 at an overpotential of 0.33 V, which is about 5.9 time of pristine ones. Our findings provide a insight into reconfiguring spin-related catalysts with ordering domain directions to accelerate the oxygen reaction kinetics.

Abstract
Electrochemical sensing provides a feasible avenue to monitor heavy metal ions (HMIs) in water, whereas the construction of highly sensitive and selective sensors remains challenging. Herein, we fabricated a novel amino-functionalized hierarchical porous carbon by the template-engaged method using ZIF-8 as the precursor and polystyrene sphere as the template, followed by carbonization and controllable chemical grafting of amino groups for efficient electrochemical detection of HMIs in water. The amino-functionalized hierarchical porous carbon features an ultrathin carbon framework with a high graphitization degree, excellent conductivity, unique macro-, meso-, and microporous architecture, and rich amino groups. As a result, the sensor exhibits prominent electrochemical performance with significantly low limits of detection for individual HMIs (i.e., 0.93 nM for Pb2+, 2.9 nM for Cu2+, and 1.2 nM for Hg2+) and simultaneous detection of HMIs (i.e., 0.62 nM for Pb2+, 1.8 nM for Cu2+, and 0.85 nM for Hg2+), which are superior to most reported sensors in the literature. Moreover, the sensor displays excellent anti-interference ability, repeatability, and stability for HMI detection in actual water samples.

Abstract
The integration of ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors with other conductive 2D materials to form hybrid electrocatalysts with abundant heterointerfaces can enhance the electrocatalytic activity by facilitating interfacial charge transfer. However, the hybrid electrocatalysts with weak interfacial bonding have limited effect on the electrocatalytic performance because the intrinsic activity of interfacial sites cannot be altered by weak interfacial interactions. As a proof-of-concept, we design ultrathin 2D-2D heterostructures with bridge-bonded Ni-O-Ti ligands based on single-layered Ti3C2TxMXene and metal hydroxides, and further reveal the structure-activity correlation between interfacial bonding and electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction by combining theoretical and experimental studies. Density functional theory calculations reveal the modulation of the electronic structure of interfacial metal sites after the formation of bridged interfacial Ni-O-Ti bonding. Compared with the hydrogen-bond-linked heterostructure, the ultrathin 2D-2D heterostructure with bridge-bonded Ni-O-Ti ligands shows enhanced intrinsic activity and stability towards electrocatalytic oxygen evolution with a very low overpotential of 205 mV at 10 mA cm-2and the long-term durability. This work provides a new understanding and approach for the design and development of 2D hybrid catalysts with highly efficient electrocatalytic activity.

Abstract
It is highly desirable to develop high-performance and robust electrocatalysts for overall water splitting, as the existing electrocatalysts exhibit poor catalytic performance toward hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER) in the same electrolytes, resulting in high cost, low energy conversion efficiency, and complicated operating procedures. Herein, a heterostructured electrocatalyst is realized by growing Co-ZIF-67-derived 2D Co-doped FeOOH on 1D Ir-doped Co(OH)F nanorods, denoted as Co-FeOOH@Ir-Co(OH)F. The Ir-doping couples with the synergy between Co-FeOOH and Ir-Co(OH)F effectively modulate the electronic structures and induce defect-enriched interfaces. This bestows Co-FeOOH@Ir-Co(OH)F with abundant exposed active sites, accelerated reaction kinetics, improved charge transfer abilities, and optimized adsorption energies of reaction intermediates, which ultimately boost the bifunctional catalytic activity. Consequently, Co-FeOOH@Ir-Co(OH)F exhibits low overpotentials of 192/231/251 and 38/83/111 mV at current densities of 10/100/250 mA cm-2 toward the OER and HER in a 1.0 M KOH electrolyte, respectively. When Co-FeOOH@Ir-Co(OH)F is used for overall water splitting, cell voltages of 1.48/1.60/1.67 V are required at current densities of 10/100/250 mA cm-2. Furthermore, it possesses outstanding long-term stability for OER, HER, and overall water splitting. Our study provides a promising way to prepare advanced heterostructured bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall alkaline water splitting.

Abstract
Designing an earth-abundant and cost-effective electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the crux to the hydrogen production by water electrolysis on industrial scale. Herein, we developed a trimetallic sulfide hybrid of CoS1.097/Fe1-xS/Ni3S2/NF nanoarrays by the combination of morphology optimization and interface modulation. The unique morphology of ultrathin nanosheets significantly enriches the reaction sites of the catalyst, while the abundant heterogeneous interfaces effectively regulate the local electron structure and thus intrinsically enhances the catalytic activity of the material. As a result, the catalyst delivers the superior OER performance with the ultralow overpotential of 229 mV at the current density of 50 mA cm-2 and Tafel slope of 30.2 mV dec-1. Furthermore, the current density of the material keeps constant for 50 h in 1.0 M KOH. This work proposes a strategy for the synthesis of polymetallic sulfide catalysts with composite structure as an efficient OER catalyst by morphology optimization and interface modulation.

Abstract
The preparation of electroactive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for applications of supercapacitors and batteries has received much attention and remarkable progress during the past few years. MOF-based materials including pristine MOFs, hybrid MOFs or MOF composites, and MOF derivatives are well designed by a combination of organic linkers (e.g., carboxylic acids, conjugated aromatic phenols/thiols, conjugated aromatic amines, and N-heterocyclic donors) and metal salts to construct predictable structures with appropriate properties. This review will focus on construction strategies of pristine MOFs and hybrid MOFs as anodes, cathodes, separators, and electrolytes in supercapacitors and batteries. Descriptions and discussions follow categories of electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), pseudocapacitors (PSCs), and hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs) for supercapacitors. In contrast, Li-ion batteries (LIBs), Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), Lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs), Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), Sodium-sulfur batteries (SSBs), Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), Zinc-air batteries (ZABs), Aluminum-sulfur batteries (ASBs), and others (e.g., LiSe, NiZn, H+ , alkaline, organic, and redox flow batteries) are categorized for batteries.

Abstract
Hydrogen, a clean and flexible energy carrier, can be efficiently produced by electrocatalytic water splitting. To accelerate the sluggish hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction kinetics in the splitting process, highly active electrocatalysts are essential for lowering the energy barriers, thereby improving the efficiency of overall water splitting. Combining the distinctive advantages of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the physicochemical properties of 2D materials such as large surface area, tunable structure, accessible active sites, and enhanced conductivity, 2D MOFs have attracted intensive attention in the field of electrocatalysis. Different strategies, such as improving the conductivities of MOFs, reducing the thicknesses of MOF nanosheets, and integrating MOFs with conductive particles or substrates, are developed to promote the catalytic performances of pristine MOFs. This review summarizes the recent advances of pristine 2D MOF-based electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. In particular, their intrinsic electrocatalytic properties are detailly analyzed to reveal important roles of inherent MOF active centers, or other in situ generated active phases from MOFs responsible for the catalytic reactions. Finally, the challenges and development prospects of pristine 2D MOFs for the future applications in overall water splitting are discussed.

Abstract
The construction of low-cost oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts with high activity and good durability is a considerable challenge for facilitating the efficient utilization of green energy. Herein, the prism-like materials of institute lavoisier frameworks-88 (MIL-88) was first synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Then, Co-Ni layered double hydroxides (CoNi-LDHs) nanosheets were directly wrapped on the MIL-88 surface by electrodeposition to form core-shell MIL-88@CoNi-LDHs composites. Due to the distinct structure and synergistic effect between the MIL-88 core and CoNi-LDHs shell, it was found that MIL-88@CoNi-LDHs had outstanding OER activity with a small Tafel slope (45.55 mV dec-1), low overpotential (314 mV) at 10 mA cm-2, and superior durability. This study provides a prospective pathway to exploit highly efficient low-cost electrocatalysts for OER.

Abstract
The electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction is a bottleneck reaction in hydrolysis and electrolysis because the four-step electron transfer leads to slow reaction kinetics and large overpotentials. This situation can be improved by fast charge transfer by optimizing the interfacial electronic structure and enhancing polarization. Herein, a unique metal (Ni) organic (diphenylalanine, DPA) framework Ni(DPA)2 (Ni-MOF) with tunable polarization is designed to bond with FeNi-LDH (layered double hydroxides) nanoflakes. The Ni-MOF@FeNi-LDH heterostructure delivers excellent oxygen evolution performance exemplified by an ultralow overpotential of 198 mV at 100 mA cm-2 compared to other (FeNi-LDH)-based catalysts. Experiments and theoretical calculations show that FeNi-LDH exists in an electron-rich state in Ni-MOF@FeNi-LDH due to polarization enhancement caused by interfacial bonding with Ni-MOF. This effectively changes the local electronic structure of the metal Fe/Ni active sites and optimizes adsorption of the oxygen-containing intermediates. Polarization and electron transfer of Ni-MOF are further enhanced by magnetoelectric coupling consequently giving rise to better electrocatalytic properties as a result of high-density electron transfer to active sites. These findings reveal a promising interface and polarization modulation strategy to improve electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Water splitting is considered as a promising technology to solve energy shortage and environmental pollution. Since oxygen evolution reaction (OER) directly affects the efficiency of hydrogen evolution, the preparation of efficient and inexpensive OER catalysts is an urgent problem. "Low-temperature immersion" (LTI) is expected to be a prospective strategy for electrocatalyst preparation due to its simplicity and energy-saving advantages. However, there is almost no comprehensive overview on the progress of LTI engineering in the construction of non-precious metal self-supported electrocatalysts for OER. Herein, this review firstly introduces the principles and applications of LTI engineering-assisted preparation of non-precious metal self-supported electrocatalysts in terms of etching and deposition. Then the mechanism of OER is analyzed from an amorphous viewpoint, and finally some perspective insights and future challenges of this method are discussed.

Abstract
Sweat sensors play a significant role in personalized healthcare by dynamically monitoring biochemical markers to detect individual physiological status. The specific response to the target biomolecules usually depends on natural oxidase, but it is susceptible to external interference. In this work, we report tryptophan- and histidine-treated copper metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs). This amino-functionalized copper-organic framework shows highly selective activity for ascorbate oxidation and can serve as an efficient ascorbate oxidase-mimicking material in sensitive sweat sensors. Experiments and calculation results elucidate that the introduced tryptophan/histidine fundamentally regulates the adsorption behaviors of biomolecules, enabling ascorbate to be selectively captured from complex sweat and further efficiently electrooxidized. This work provides not only a paradigm for specifically sweat sensing but also a significant understanding of natural oxidase-inspired MOF nanoenzymes for sensing technologies and beyond.

Abstract
Au and Pt are well-known catalysts for electrocatalytic oxidation of biomass-derived glycerol. Although some nonprecious-metal-based materials to replace the costly Au and Pt are used for this reaction, the fundamental question of how the nonprecious catalysts affect the reaction chemistry and mechanism compared to Au and Pt catalysts is still unanswered. In this work, both experimental and computational methods are used to understand how and why the reaction performance and chemistry for the electrocatalytic glycerol oxidation reaction (EGOR) change with electrochemically-synthesized CuCo-oxide, Cu-oxide, and Co-oxide catalysts compared to conventional Au and Pt catalysts. The Au and Pt catalysts generate major glyceric acid and glycolic acid products from the EGOR. Interestingly, the prepared Cu-based oxides produce glycolic acid and formic acid with high selectivity of about 90.0%. This different reaction chemistry is related to the enhanced ability of CC bond cleavage on the Cu-based oxide materials. The density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the formic acids are mainly formed on the Cu-based oxide surfaces rather than in the process of glycolic acid formation in the free energy diagram. This study provides critical scientific insights into developing future nonprecious-based materials for electrochemical biomass conversions.

Abstract
Serious degradation and the short photogenerated carrier lifetime for the wide-bandgap semiconductor ZnO have become prominent issues that negatively affect photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Herein, a novel electron transport pathway was constructed by simple but effective coaxial growth of ZnO/ZnS/ZnIn2 S4 heterostructure nanoarrays to increase the carrier separation efficiency. This new photoanode fulfilled the requirements of both favorable band alignment and stability, achieving a stable photocurrent density of 1.146 mA cm-2 at 1.2 VRHE , which was approximately twice that of pristine ZnO. Detailed experimental studies revealed that the improved PEC activity was due to the lattice-matching interface coherency that activated the carrier transport pathway, giving rise to an optimized interfacial electronic structure for promoted charge separation by the built-in electric field and strengthened water oxidation activity. This design may provide a new approach to fabricating various efficient lattice-matching coherent interface photoanodes for PEC water splitting.

Abstract
Current 3D printed electrodes suffer from insufficient multiscale transport speed, which limits the improvement of electrochemical performance of 3D printed electrodes. Herein, a bioinspired hierarchical fast transport network (HFTN) in a 3D printed reduced graphene oxide/carbon nanotube (3DP GC) electrode demonstrating superior electrochemical performance is constructed. Theoretical calculations reveal that the HFTN of the 3DP GC electrode increases the ion transport rate by more than 50 times and 36 times compared with those of the bulk GC electrode and traditional 3DP GC (T-3DP GC) electrode, respectively. Compared with carbon paper, carbon cloth, bulk GC electrode, and T-3DP GC electrode, the HFTN in 3DP GC electrode endows obvious advantages: i) efficient utilization of surface area for uniform catalysts dispersion during electrochemical deposition; ii) efficient utilization of catalysts enables the high mass activity of catalysts and low overpotential of electrode in electrocatalytic reaction. The cell of 3DP GC/Ni-NiO||3DP GC/NiS2 demonstrates a low voltage of only 1.42 V to reach 10 mA cm-2 and good stability up to 20 h for water splitting in alkaline conditions, which is superior to commercialized Pt/C||RuO2 . This work demonstrates great potential in developing high-performance 3D printed electrodes for electrochemical energy conversion and storage.

Abstract
A novel two-dimensional Co-MOF material {[Co(dptz)2(oba)2]·(DMF)2}n is prepared using mixed organic ligands, which exhibits both OER (oxygen evolution reaction) and HER (hydrogen evolution reaction) catalytic performance. The integration of an Fe dopant and amorphous interface into Co-MOF to improving the electrocatalytic performance of pristine MOFs (metal-organic frameworks) is demonstrated and the origin of the remarkable electrocatalytic performance of the catalyst is elucidated. The comprehensive characterization data of Fe@Co-MOFs illustrate that there is a crystallinity transition during the doping of Co-MOF, which increases the electron transfer rate of the material and ensures increased exposure of the ligand unsaturated active site on the surface, and modulates the electronic structure of the Co center in a synergistic manner. As a result, the optimized catalytic Fe@Co-MOF-3 with an amorphous structure exhibits outstanding electrocatalytic performance for the OER, with only 248 mV at a current density of 50 mA cm-2 and excellent stability after 11 h of testing in alkaline solution. Not only that, the HER was achieved with a low overpotential of 150 mV at 10 mA cm-2. The present work indicates that the as-synthesized Co-MOF and Fe@Co-MOFs offer prospects in developing electrocatalysts for water splitting.

Abstract
Direct Z-scheme photocatalytic systems are very promising composite photocatalysts, and their photocatalytic performance is highly associated with the quality of the interface within them. Herein, a novel direct Z-scheme heterojunction with a coherent interface has been presented for the first time. Specifically, the heterojunction was constructed by dispersing pre-prepared BiVO4 crystals into the reaction system to synthesize Cu3SnS4, followed by a hydrothermal reaction. It is shown that Cu3SnS4 was deposited on the surface of each pre-prepared BiVO4 crystal as a thin layer via heterogeneous nucleation to acquire a core-shell heterojunction. The BiVO4@Cu3SnS4 heterojunction was found to possess an atomic coherent interface, which is formed through the bonding between the (121) plane of BiVO4 and the (112) plane of Cu3SnS4, originating from the matching in the crystalline lattice between the two planes. The coherent interface facilitated the charge transfer from Cu3SnS4 to BiVO4 owing to the difference in their Fermi levels, thereby forming a built-in electric field pointing from Cu3SnS4 to BiVO4. Reduced fluorescence emission and a shortened carrier lifetime reveal an obvious reduction in the inter-band charge recombination for the optimal BVO@CTS-0.19 sample. Consequently, BVO@CTS-0.19 shows remarkably enhanced photocatalytic performance in MO degradation, Cr6+ reduction and oxygen evolution. The Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism for BVO@CTS-0.19 was verified by a suite of techniques. This work provides a universal strategy for building a coherent interface to develop high-performance direct Z-scheme heterojunctions.
