Abstract
Herein, a new heterogeneous CoSe2-x@NC material with abundant selenium vacancies is synthesized via an in-situ carbonization-selenization process from cobaltic metal organic framework (Co-MOF). The obtained CoSe2-x@NC has a unique electronic structure and rich active sites, which can activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade carbamazepine (CBZ) with superior catalytic performance and stability. The quenchingexperiments and EPR test show that SO4•- is the dominant reactive oxidation species (ROSs) for CBZ degradation. Significantly, systemic electrochemical tests and theoretical calculations illustrated that the dominant role of SO4•- is attributed to the existence of abundant selenium vacancies in CoSe2-x@NC, which can adjust the density of electron cloud of the Co atoms in CoSe2-x@NC to improve the PMS adsorption and promoting the conversion of transition metallic redox pairs (Co3+/Co2+). This work provides a facile way to improve the activity and stability of CoSe2 by defect engineering in the PMS based advanced oxidation process (AOPs).

Hierarchical NiCo 2Se 4 Arrays Composed of Atomically Thin Nanosheets: Simultaneous Improvements in Thermodynamics and Kinetics for Electrocatalytic Water Splitting in Neutral Media. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024:e2402889.

Abstract
The inefficiency of electrocatalysts for water splitting in neutral media stems from a comprehensive impact of poor intrinsic activity, a limited number of active sites, and inadequate mass transport. Herein, hierarchical ultrathin NiCo2Se4 nanosheets are synthesized by the selenization of NiCo2O4 porous nanoneedles. Theoretical and experimental investigations reveal that the intrinsic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity primarily originate from the NiCo2Se4, whereas the high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance is related to the NiCoOOH due to the structural reconstruction. The abundant Se and O vacancies introduced by atomically thin nanostructure modulate the electronic structure of NiCo2Se4 and NiCoOOH, thereby improving the intrinsic HER and OER activities, respectively. COMSOL simulation demonstrate the edges of extended nanosheets from the main body significantly promote the charge aggregation, boosting the reduction and oxidation current during HER/OER process. This charge aggregation effect notably exceeds the tip effect for the nanoneedle, highlighting the unique advantage of the hierarchical nanosheet structure. Benefiting from abundant vacancies and unique nanostructure, the hierarchical ultrathin nanosheet simultaneously improve the thermodynamics and kinetics of the electrocatalyst. The optimized samples display an overpotential of 92 mV for HER and 214 mV for OER at 100 mA cm-2, significantly surpassing the performance of currently reported HER/OER catalysts in neutral media.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 663:847-855. [PMID: 38447399 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.02.176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
Properly design and manufacture of bifunctional electrocatalysts with superb performance and endurance are crucial for overall water splitting. The interfacial engineering strategy is acknowledged as a promising approach to enhance catalytic performance of overall water splitting catalysts. Herein, the Ru nanoparticles modified Ni3Se4/Ni(OH)2 heterostructured nanosheets catalyst was constructed using a simple two-step hydrothermal process. The experimental results demonstrate that the abundant heterointerfaces between Ru and Ni3Se4/Ni(OH)2 can increase the number of active sites and effectively regulate the electronic structure, greatly accelerating the kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER)/oxygen evolution reaction (OER). As a result, the Ru/Ni3Se4/Ni(OH)2/NF catalyst exhibits the low overpotential of 102.8 mV and 334.5 mV at 100 mA cm-2 for HER and OER in alkaline medium, respectively. Furthermore, a two-electrode system composed of the Ru/Ni3Se4/Ni(OH)2/NF requires a battery voltage of just 1.51 V at 10 mA cm-2 and remains stable for 200 h at 500 mA cm-2. This work provides an effective strategy for constructing Ru-based heterostructured catalysts with excellent catalytic activity.

Lattice Oxygen Activation through Deep Oxidation of Co 4N by Jahn-Teller-Active Dopants for Improved Electrocatalytic Oxygen Evolution. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024:e202405839. [PMID: 38801294 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202405839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
Triggering the lattice oxygen oxidation mechanism is crucial for improving oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance, because it could bypass the scaling relation limitation associated with the conventional adsorbate evolution mechanism through the direct formation of oxygen-oxygen bond. High-valence transition metal sites are favorable for activating the lattice oxygen, but the deep oxidation of pre-catalysts suffers from a high thermodynamic barrier. Here, taking advantage of the Jahn-Teller (J-T) distortion induced structural instability, we incorporate high-spin Mn3+ (t 2 g 3 e g 1 ${{t}_{2g}^{3}{e}_{g}^{1}}$ ) dopant into Co4N. Mn dopants enable a surface structural transformation from Co4N to CoOOH, and finally to CoO2, as observed by various in situ spectroscopic investigations. Furthermore, the reconstructed surface on Mn-doped Co4N triggers the lattice oxygen activation, as evidenced experimentally by pH-dependent OER, tetramethylammonium cation adsorption and online electrochemical mass spectrometry measurements of 18O-labelled catalysts. In general, this work not only offers the introducing J-T effect approach to regulate the structural transition, but also provides an understanding about the influence of the catalyst's electronic configuration on determining the reaction route, which may inspire the design of more efficient catalysts with activated lattice oxygen.

Abstract
Developing high-performance and cost-competitive electrocatalysts have great significance for the massive commercial production of water-splitting hydrogen. Ni-based electrocatalysts display tremendous potential for electrocatalytic water splitting. Herein, we synthesize a novel NiFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) electrocatalyst in nanosheets array on high-purity Ni foam. By adjusting the Ni/Fe ratio, the microstructure, and even the behavior of the electrocatalyst in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), changes significantly. The as-obtained material shows a small overpotential of 223 mV at 10 mAcm-2 as well as a low Tafel slope of 48.9 mV·dec-1 in the 1 M KOH electrolyte. In addition, it can deliver good stability for at least 24 h of continuous working at 10 mAcm-2. This work proposes a strategy for engineering catalysts and provides a method for the development of other Ni-based catalysts with excellent performance.

Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) Ni-MOF of the formula [Ni(C4H4N2)(CHO2)2]n, has been reported, which shows a capacitance of 2150 F/g at a current density of 1A/g in a three-electrode setup (5.0 M KOH). Post-mortem analysis of the sample after three-electrode measurements revealed the bias-induced transformation of Ni-MOF to Ni(OH)2, which has organic constituents intercalated within the sample exhibiting better storage performance than bulk Ni(OH)2. Afterward, the synthesized MOF and reduced graphene (rGO) were used as the anode and cathode electrode material, respectively, and a two-electrode asymmetric supercapacitor device (ASC) setup was designed that exhibited a capacitance of 125 F/g (at 0.2 A/g) with a high energy density of 50.17 Wh/kg at a power density of 335.1 W/kg. The ASC further has a very high reversibility (97.9% Coulombic efficiency) and cyclic stability (94%) after 5000 constant charge-discharge cycles. Its applicability was also demonstrated by running a digital watch. Using sophisticated density functional theory simulations, the electronic properties, diffusion energy barrier for the electrolytic ions (K+), and quantum capacitance for the Ni(OH)2 electrode have been reported. The lower diffusion energy barrier (0.275 eV) and higher quantum capacitance (1150 μF/cm2) are attributed to the higher charge storage performance of the Ni-MOF-transformed Ni(OH)2 electrode as observed in the experiment.

Abstract
Incorporating noble metal single atoms into lattice of spinel cobalt oxide (Co3O4) is an attractive way to fabricate oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts because of the high activity and economic benefit. The commonly used high valence noble metal dopants such as ruthenium, iridium and rhodium tend to supersede Co3+ at octahedral site of Co3O4 and result in great activity, the origins of admirable activity were also wildly investigated. However, bare explorations on doping noble metal single atom into tetrahedral site of Co3O4 to construct OER catalyst have been reported, corresponding catalytic activity and mechanism remain mystery. Here, a promising structure that tetrahedrally substituent Ag single atom embedded in Co3O4 nanoparticles on the surface of carbon nanotube (Ag-Co3O4/CNT) was presented, and its performance in OER was probed. The high angle annular dark field-scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) demonstrate the successful embeddedness of atomical Ag atom in Co3O4 lattice, the resultant electronic interaction is conducive to promote charge transfer for OER. Theoretical calculations further disclose that atomical Ag dopant prefers to replace tetrahedral Co2+ rather than octahedral Co3+. The substitution Ag acts as the active site through Ag-Co bridge and facilitates the desorption process, which improves the turnover frequency (TOF) and boosts the intrinsic activity of Ag-Co3O4/CNT. Benefiting from the essentials above, Ag-Co3O4/CNT displays remarkable activity (236 mV@10 mA cm-2) and robust stability for alkaline OER. This finding offers a potential direction for the design of noble metal single atom involved Co3O4 based OER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Efforts to develop high-performance electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are of utmost importance in ensuring sustainable hydrogen production. The controllable fabrication of inexpensive, durable, and high-efficient HER catalysts still remains a great challenge. Herein, we introduce a universal strategy aiming to achieve rapid synthesis of highly active hydrogen evolution catalysts using a controllable hydrogen insertion method and solvothermal process. Hydrogen vanadium bronze HxV2O5 was obtained through controlling the ethanol reaction rate in the oxidization process of hydrogen peroxide. Subsequently, the intermetallic PtCoVO supported on two-dimensional graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets was prepared by a solvothermal method at the oil/water interface. In terms of HER performance, PtCoVO/g-C3N4 demonstrates superior characteristics compared to PtCo/g-C3N4 and PtCoV/g-C3N4. This superiority can be attributed to the notable influence of oxygen vacancies in HxV2O5 on the electrical properties of the catalyst. By adjusting the relative proportions of metal atoms in the PtCoVO/g-C3N4 nanomaterials, the PtCoVO/g-C3N4 nanocomposites show significant HER overpotential of η10 = 92 mV, a Tafel slope of 65.21 mV dec-1, and outstanding stability (a continuous test lasting 48 h). The nanoarchitecture of a g-C3N4-supported PtCoVO nanoalloy catalyst exhibits exceptional resistance to nanoparticle migration and corrosion, owing to the strong interaction between the metal nanoparticles and the g-C3N4 support. Pt, Co, and V simultaneous doping has been shown by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations to enhance the density of states (DOS) at the Fermi level. This augmentation leads to a higher charge density and a reduction in the adsorption energy of intermediates.

Abstract
Exploring anticorrosion electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials in harsh conditions remains a challenge. Herein, S-NiSe/HG nanocomposites encapsulated in room-temperature self-healing polyurethane (S-NiSe/HG/SPU) were exploited as superior anticorrosion EMW absorbing materials. A dual-defect engineering collaborative Schottky interface construction endows S-NiSe/HG with a high vacancy concentration, abundant defects, and moderate conductivity. These structural merits synergistically balance dielectric loss by enhancing dipole-interface polarization loss and optimizing conduction loss. As a result, S-NiSe/HG demonstrates the optimal EMW absorption performance with a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -54.8 dB and an adequate absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 7.1 GHz. Besides, S-NiSe/HG/SPU combines the maze effect of S-NiSe/HG with the active repair capability of SPU, thereby providing long-term corrosion resistance for the Mg alloy. Even under corrosion for 10 days, S-NiSe/HG/SPU affords a low corrosion current density (1.3 × 10-5 A) and high charge transfer resistance (3796 Ω cm2). Overall, this work provides valuable insights for in-depth exploration of dielectric loss and development of multifunctional EMW-absorbing materials.

Abstract
In recent years, the research of FeSe2 and its composites in environmental remediation has been gradually carried out. And the FeSe2 materials show great catalytic performance in photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and Fenton-like reactions for pollutants removal. Therefore, the studies and applications of FeSe2 materials are reviewed in this work, including the common synthesis methods, the role of Fe and Se species as well as the catalyst structure, and the potential for practical environmental applications. Hereinto, it is worth noting in particular that the lower-valent Se (Se2- ), unsaturated Se (Se- ), and Se vacancies (VSe ) can play different roles in promoting pollutants removal. In addition, the FeSe2 material also demonstrates high stability, reusability, and adaptability over a wider pH range as well as universality to different pollutants. In view of the overall great properties and performance of FeSe2 materials compared with other typical Fe-based materials, it deserves and needs further research. And finally, this paper presents some challenges and perspectives in future development, looking forward to providing helpful guidance for the subsequent research of FeSe2 and its composites for environmental application.

Abstract
Pd-based electrocatalysts are the most effective catalysts for ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR), while the disadvantages of poor stability, low resistance to neutrophilic, and low catalytic activity seriously hamper the development of direct ethylene glycol fuel cells (DEGFCs). In this work, defect-riched PdCoZn nanosheets (D-PdCoZn NSs) with ultrathin 2D NSs and porous structures are fabricated through the solvothermal and alkali etching processes. Benefiting from the presence of defects and ultrathin 2D structures, D-PdCoZn NSs demonstrate excellent electrocatalytic activity and good durability against EGOR in alkaline media. The mass activity and specific activity of D-PdCoZn NSs for EGOR are 9.5 A mg-1 and 15.7 mA cm-2 , respectively, which are higher than that of PdCoZn NSs, PdCo NSs, and Pd black. The D-PdCoZn NSs still maintain satisfactory mass activity after long-term durability tests. Meanwhile, in situ IR spectroscopy demonstrates that the presence of defects attenuated the adsorption of intermediates, which improves the selectivity of the C1 pathway with excellent anti-CO poisoning performance. This work not only provides an effective synthetic strategy for the preparation of Pd-based nanomaterials with defective structures but also indicates significant guidance for optimum C1 pathway selectivity of ethylene glycol and other challenging chemical transformations.

Abstract
Rational regulation of electrode materials with high conductivity and unexceptionable cycling stability is crucial to meet the requirements of high-performance supercapacitors (SCs). Herein, a hierarchical porous kebab-like heterostructure (CoNiFe-Se) is prepared by a facile solvothermal reaction and selenization step. Both experimental and computational results demonstrate that incorporating Se via hydrothermal reaction contributes to modulating the morphology and electronic structure of transition metal carbonate hydroxides. The heterostructured electrode with abundant active sites composed of electroactive polymetallic-CoNiFe imparts excellent charge storage. Additionally, the unique structure of CoNiFe-Se with its heterogeneous interface, oxygen vacancies and cavities improves electrochemical activity, accelerates electron transfer and suppresses the volume expansion during the cycling. As a result, the CoNiFe-Se exhibits excellent electrochemical performance of 5040 mF cm-2 at 1 mA cm-2 and long-term durability with 85.7% retained capacitance after 10 000 cycles. Interestingly, an integrated asymmetric supercapacitor performs well for energy storage. This finding opens a new avenue for developing transition metal carbonate hydroxides using selenization strategies in the field of SCs.

Abstract
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a multi-electron transfer process, whose intrinsic sluggish dynamic restricts the whole process of overall water splitting (OWS). To address this issue, a porous transition metal sulfide (TMS) catalyst with rich heterojunctions was prepared by vulcanization and trace Fe doping of CoMo-based metal-organic framework (MOF). In this work, the nanoflower composed of ultrathin 2D nanosheets anchored on a nickel foam presents a layered interface that contributes to the exposure of active regions. The resulting electrode denoted as Fe@CoMo2S4/Ni3S2/NF required a low overpotential (η10 = 167 mV @ 10 mA cm-2, η50 = 260 mV @ 50 mA cm-2) in 1.0 M KOH for OER and a small cell voltage (E = 1.513 V @ 10 mA cm-2) to power OWS when coupled with commercial Pt/C. It also exhibited splendid morphological and chemical stability with virtually invariant polarization curve and flower-like appearance after 1000 CV cycles, as well as long-term durability over 100 h with a constant current density of 10 mA cm-2. This work revealed the multi-anionic regulation mechanism in the surface reconstruction of sulfide electrocatalysts, and verified that Co/Mo/Ni-based oxysulfide was the true active substance of OER, which inspired the understanding and design of multi-anionic regulated electrocatalysts.

Abstract
CoSe2/CoP with rich Se- and P-vacancies and heterogeneous interfaces (v-CoSe2/CoP) is grown on the surface of nickel foam via a two-step strategy: electrodeposition and NaBH4 reduction, which can be used as the cathode material in asymmetric supercapacitors. The SEM characterization reveals the honeycomb-like structure of the v-CoSe2/CoP, and the results of EPR, XPS and HRTEM reveal the existence of anionic vacancies and heterogeneous interfaces in the v-CoSe2/CoP. The as-fabricated v-CoSe2/CoP exhibits high specific capacitance (3206 mF cm-2 at 1.0 mA cm-2) and cyclic stability (91 % capacitance retention after 2000 cycles). An asymmetric supercapacitor is assembled by using the v-CoSe2/CoP and activated carbon (AC) as cathode and anode materials, respectively, which displays a high energy density of 40.6 Wh kg-1 at the power density of 211.5 W kg-1. The outstanding electrochemical performances of the v-CoSe2/CoP might be ascribed to the synergistic effects of Se- and P-vacancies and the heterogeneous interfaces in the v-CoSe2/CoP.

Abstract
It is an appealing approach to CO2 utilization through CO2 electroreduction (CO2 ER) to ethanol at high current density; however, the commonly used Cu-based catalysts cannot sustain large current during CO2 ER despite their capability for ethanol production. Herein, we report that Ag+ -doped InSe nanosheets with Se vacancies can address this grand challenge in a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) electrolyzer. As revealed by our experimental characterization and theoretical calculation, the Ag+ doping, which can tailor the electronic structure of InSe while diversifying catalytically active sites, enables the formation of key reaction intermediates and their sequential evolution into ethanol. More importantly, such a material can well work for large-current conditions in MEA electrolyzers with In2+ species stabilized via electron transfer from Ag to Se. Remarkably, in an MEA electrolyzer by coupling cathodic CO2 ER with anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the optimal catalyst exhibits an ethanol Faradaic efficiency of 68.7 % and a partial current density of 186.6 mA cm-2 on the cathode with a full-cell ethanol energy efficiency of 26.1 % at 3.0 V. This work opens an avenue for large-current production of ethanol from CO2 with high selectivity and energy efficiency by rationally designing electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Transition metal borides, carbides, pnictides, and chalcogenides (X-ides) have emerged as a class of materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Because of their high earth abundance, electrical conductivity, and OER performance, these electrocatalysts have the potential to enable the practical application of green energy conversion and storage. Under OER potentials, X-ide electrocatalysts demonstrate various degrees of oxidation resistance due to their differences in chemical composition, crystal structure, and morphology. Depending on their resistance to oxidation, these catalysts will fall into one of three post-OER electrocatalyst categories: fully oxidized oxide/(oxy)hydroxide material, partially oxidized core@shell structure, and unoxidized material. In the past ten years (from 2013 to 2022), over 890 peer-reviewed research papers have focused on X-ide OER electrocatalysts. Previous review papers have provided limited conclusions and have omitted the significance of "catalytically active sites/species/phases" in X-ide OER electrocatalysts. In this review, a comprehensive summary of (i) experimental parameters (e.g., substrates, electrocatalyst loading amounts, geometric overpotentials, Tafel slopes, etc.) and (ii) electrochemical stability tests and post-analyses in X-ide OER electrocatalyst publications from 2013 to 2022 is provided. Both mono and polyanion X-ides are discussed and classified with respect to their material transformation during the OER. Special analytical techniques employed to study X-ide reconstruction are also evaluated. Additionally, future challenges and questions yet to be answered are provided in each section. This review aims to provide researchers with a toolkit to approach X-ide OER electrocatalyst research and to showcase necessary avenues for future investigation.

Abstract
Ammonia (NH3 ), known as one of the fundamental raw materials for manufacturing commodities such as chemical fertilizers, dyes, ammunitions, pharmaceuticals, and textiles, exhibits a high hydrogen storage capacity of ≈17.75%. Electrochemical nitrate reduction (NO3 RR) to valuable ammonia at ambient conditions is a promising strategy to facilitate the artificial nitrogen cycle. Herein, copper-doped cobalt selenide nanosheets with selenium vacancies are reported as a robust and highly efficient electrocatalyst for the reduction of nitrate to ammonia, exhibiting a maximum Faradaic efficiency of ≈93.5% and an ammonia yield rate of 2360 µg h-1 cm-2 at -0.60 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. The in situ spectroscopical and theoretical study demonstrates that the incorporation of Cu dopants and Se vacancies into cobalt selenide efficiently enhances the electron transfer from Cu to Co atoms via the bridging Se atoms, forming the electron-deficient structure at Cu sites to accelerate NO3 - dissociation and stabilize the *NO2 intermediates, eventually achieving selective catalysis in the entire NO3 RR process to produce ammonia efficiently.

Abstract
Regulating the electronic structure of active sites and monitoring the evolution of the active component is essential to improve the intrinsic activity of catalysts for electrochemical reactions. Herein, a highly efficient pre-electrocatalyst of iron diselenide with rich Se vacancies achieved by phosphorus doping (denoted as P-FeSe2 ) for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is reported. Systematically experimental and theoretical results show that the formed Se vacancies with phosphorus doping can synergistically modulate the electronic structure of FeSe2 and facilitate OER kinetics with the resulting enhanced electrical conductivity and electrochemical surface area. Importantly, the in situ formed FeOOH species on the surface of the P-FeSe2 nanorods (denoted as P-FeOOH(Se)) during the OER process acts as an active component to efficiently catalyze OER and exhibits a low overpotential of 217 mV to reach 10 mA cm-2 with good durability. Promisingly, an alkaline electrolyzer assembled with P-FeOOH(Se) and Pt/C electrodes requires an ultra-low cell voltage of 1.50 V at 10 mA cm-2 for overall water splitting, which is superior to the RuO2 || Pt/C counterpart and most of the state-of-the-art electrolyzers, demonstrating the high potential of the fabricated electrocatalyst by P doping strategy to explore more highly efficient selenide-based catalysts for various reactions.

Abstract
Finding effective and affordable non-noble metal catalysts is one of the most important yet difficult tasks because of the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Therefore, we synthesized vanadium-doped CoFe PBA nanosheets on nickel foam in a single step to change the electronic structure with metal doping. The sheet structure facilitates charge transfer, while vanadium doping modifies the electronic structure to enhance the catalytic activity. With just a 229 mV overpotential needed in the OER reaction to reach 10 mA cm-2, the as-synthesised electrocatalyst demonstrates high electrocatalytic activity. The produced electrocatalyst can operate at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 for 12 h, and it displays outstanding stability even at a high OER current density of 100 mA cm-2 for 12 h. This study will contribute to the development of efficient and affordable non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts.

Abstract
In this work, a series of morphology-controlled NiFeOOH nanosheets were directly developed through a one-step mild in-situ acid-etching hydrothermal process. Benefiting from the ultrathin interwoven geometric structure and most favorable electron transport structure, the NiFeOOH nanosheets synthesized under 120 °C (denoted as NiFe_120) exhibited the optimal electrochemical performance for urea oxidation reaction (UOR). An overpotential of merely 1.4 V was required to drive the current density of 100 mA cm-2 , and the electrochemical activity remains no change even after 5000 cycles' accelerated degradation test. Moreover, the assembled urea electrolysis set by using the NiFe_120 as bifunctional catalysts presented a reduced potential of 1.573 V at 10 mA cm-2 , which was much lower than that of overall water splitting. We believe this work will lay a foundation for developing high-performance urea oxidation catalysts for the large-scale production of hydrogen and purification of urea-rich sewage.

Abstract
Electrochemical upgrading of ethanol to acetic acid provides a promising strategy to couple with the current hydrogen production from water electrolysis. This work reports the design of a series of bimetallic PtHg aerogels, where the PtHg aerogel exhibits a 10.5-times higher mass activity than that of commercial Pt/C toward ethanol oxidation. More impressively, the PtHg aerogel demonstrates nearly 100% selectivity toward the production of acetic acid. The operando infrared spectroscopic studies and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis verify the preferable C2 pathway mechanism during the reaction. This work opens an avenue for the electrochemical synthesis of acetic acid via ethanol electrolysis.

Abstract
It is a good idea for efficient production of hydrogen to use ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in place of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in water electrolysis process. Ni-based non-precious electrocatalysts are widely used in the conversion of ethanol to acetic acid. Here, different selenide heterostructures (NiCoSe, NiFeSe, and NiCuSe) are prepared in which Ni sites are regulated by transition metal. The valence state of Ni is NiCuSe < NiCoSe < NiFeSe in the three heterojunctions. NiCoSe shows the optimized charge distribution of Ni sites and outstanding catalytic activity. The effective modulations lead to optimized d-band center and facilitates both adsorption and desorption of reaction intermediates, which improves the kinetics of EOR. The results of this work prove that with appropriate designed catalyst it is possible to replace kinetically slow OER with faster EOR in water electrolysis to produce hydrogen.

Abstract
Even the most stable Ir-based oxides inevitably encounter a severe degradation problem during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acid, resulting in quick formation of amorphous IrOx layers on the catalyst surface. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of fundamental understanding of such hydrous IrOx layers, including the atomic arrangement, key active structure, compositions, chemical stability, and so on. In this work, we demonstrate an electrochemical strategy to prepare two types of protonated iridium oxides with well-defined crystalline structures: one possesses a 2D layered structure (denoted as α-HxIrO3) and the other consists of 3D interconnected polymorphs (denoted as β-HxIrO3). Both protonated iridium oxides demonstrate superior electrochemical stabilities with 6 times suppressed Ir dissolution comparing to the initial Li2IrO3 and rutile IrO2. It is hypothesized that the enriched protons and fast diffusions in these two protonated HxIrO3 crystal oxides may promote surface structural stability by suppressing the formation of high-valence Ir species at the solid-liquid interfaces during OER. Overall, the results of this work shed light on the role of proton dynamics toward the OER processes on the catalyst surface in acid media.

A salt-baking 'recipe' of commercial nickel-molybdenum alloy foam for oxygen evolution catalysis in water splitting. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 640:975-982.

Abstract
Ni-based metal foam holds promise as an electrochemical water-splitting catalyst, due to its low cost, acceptable catalytic activity and superior stability. However, its catalytic activity must be improved before it can be used as an energy-saving catalyst. Here, a traditional Chinese recipe, salt-baking, was employed to surface engineering of nickel-molybdenum alloy (NiMo) foam. During salt-baking, a thin layer of FeOOH nano-flowers was assembled on the NiMo foam surface then the resultant NiMo-Fe catalytic material was evaluated for its ability to support oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity. The NiMo-Fe foam catalyst generated an electric current density of 100 mA cm-2 that required an overpotential of only 280 mV, thus demonstrating that its performance far exceeded that of the benchmark catalyst RuO2 (375 mV). When employed as both the anode and cathode for use in alkaline water electrolysis, the NiMo-Fe foam generated a current density (j) output that was 3.5 times greater than that of NiMo. Thus, our proposed salt-baking method is a promising simple and environmentally friendly approach for surface engineering of metal foam for designing catalysts.

Abstract
Hollow carbon nanocages (HCNCs) consisting of sp2 carbon shells featured by a hollow interior cavity with defective microchannels (or customized mesopores) across the carbon shells, high specific surface area, and tunable electronic structure, are quilt different from the other nanocarbons such as carbon nanotubes and graphene. These structural and morphological characteristics make HCNCs a new platform for advanced electrochemical energy storage and conversion. This review focuses on the controllable preparation, structural regulation, and modification of HCNCs, as well as their electrochemical functions and applications as energy storage materials and electrocatalytic conversion materials. The metal single atoms-functionalized structures and electrochemical properties of HCNCs are summarized systematically and deeply. The research challenges and trends are also envisaged for deepening and extending the study and application of this hollow carbon material. The development of multifunctional carbon-based composite nanocages provides a new idea and method for improving the energy density, power density, and volume performance of electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices.

Abstract
The crystal facets featured with facet-dependent physical and chemical properties can exhibit varied electrocatalytic activity toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) attributed to their anisotropy. The highly active exposed crystal facets enable increased mass activity of active sites, lower reaction energy barriers, and enhanced catalytic reaction rates for HER and OER. The formation mechanism and control strategy of the crystal facet, significant contributions as well as challenges and perspectives of facet-engineered catalysts for HER and OER are provided. The electrocatalytic water splitting technology can generate high-purity hydrogen without emitting carbon dioxide, which is in favor of relieving environmental pollution and energy crisis and achieving carbon neutrality. Electrocatalysts can effectively reduce the reaction energy barrier and increase the reaction efficiency. Facet engineering is considered as a promising strategy in controlling the ratio of desired crystal planes on the surface. Owing to the anisotropy, crystal planes with different orientations usually feature facet-dependent physical and chemical properties, leading to differences in the adsorption energies of oxygen or hydrogen intermediates, and thus exhibit varied electrocatalytic activity toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this review, a brief introduction of the basic concepts, fundamental understanding of the reaction mechanisms as well as key evaluating parameters for both HER and OER are provided. The formation mechanisms of the crystal facets are comprehensively overviewed aiming to give scientific theory guides to realize dominant crystal planes. Subsequently, three strategies of selective capping agent, selective etching agent, and coordination modulation to tune crystal planes are comprehensively summarized. Then, we present an overview of significant contributions of facet-engineered catalysts toward HER, OER, and overall water splitting. In particular, we highlight that density functional theory calculations play an indispensable role in unveiling the structure–activity correlation between the crystal plane and catalytic activity. Finally, the remaining challenges in facet-engineered catalysts for HER and OER are provided and future prospects for designing advanced facet-engineered electrocatalysts are discussed.

Abstract
Vacancy engineering is deemed as one of the powerful protocols to tune the catalytic activity of electrocatalysts. Herein, Se-vacancy with charge polarization is created in the NiSe2 structure (NiSe2 -VSe ) via a sequential phase conversion strategy. By a combined analysis of the Rietveld method, transient photovoltage spectra (TPV), in situ Raman and density functional theory (DFT) calculation, it is unequivocally discovered that the presence of charge-polarized Se-vacancy is beneficial for stabilizing the structure, decreasing the electron transfer kinetics, as well as optimizing the free adsorption energy of reaction intermediate during two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e- ORR). Benefiting from these merits, the as-prepared NiSe2 -VSe delivered the highest selectivity of 96% toward H2 O2 in alkaline media, together with a selectivity higher than 90% over the wide potential range from 0.25 to 0.55 V, ranking it in the top level among the previously reported transition metal-based electrocatalysts. Most notably, it also displayed admirable stability with only a slight selectivity decay after 5000 cycles of accelerated degradation test (ADT).

Abstract
Remolding the reactivity of metal active sites is critical to facilitate renewable electricity-powered water electrolysis. Doping heteroatoms, such as Se, into a metal crystal lattice has been considered an effective approach, yet usually suffers from loss of functional heteroatoms during harsh electrocatalytic conditions, thus leading to the gradual inactivation of the catalysts. Here, we report a new heteroatom-containing molecule-enhanced strategy toward sustainable oxygen evolution improvement. An organoselenium ligand, bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)selenide containing robust C-Se-C covalent bonds equipped in the precatalyst of ultrathin metal-organic nanosheets Co-SeMON, is revealed to significantly enhance the catalytic mass activity of the cobalt site by 25 times, as well as extend the catalyst operation time in alkaline conditions by 1 or 2 orders of magnitude compared with these reported metal selenides. A combination of various in situ/ex situ spectroscopic techniques, ab initio molecular dynamics, and density functional theory calculations unveiled the organoselenium intensified mechanism, in which the nonclassical bonding of Se to O-containing intermediates endows adsorption-energy regulation beyond the conventional scaling relationship. Our results showcase the great potential of molecule-enhanced catalysts for highly efficient and economical water oxidation.

Abstract
Oxygen evolution reactions (OERs) are regarded as the rate-determining step of electrocatalytic overall water splitting, which endow OER electrocatalysts with the advantages of high activity, low cost, good conductivity, and excellent stability. Herein, a facile H2O2-assisted etching method is proposed for the fabrication of Mo-doped ultrathin Co9Se8@NiSe/NF-X heterojunctions with rich Se vacancies to boost electrocatalytic water oxidation. After step-by-step electronic structure modulation by Mo doping and Se vacancy engineering, the self-standing Mo-Co9Se8@NiSe/NF-60 heterojunctions deliver a current density of 50 mA cm-2 with an overpotential of 343 mV and a cell voltage of only 1.87 V at 50 mA cm-2 for overall water splitting in 1.0 M KOH. Our study opens up the possibility of realizing step-by-step electronic structure modulation of nonprecious OER electrocatalysts via heteroatom doping and vacancy engineering.

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
Developing a low-cost, pH-universal electrocatalyst is desirable for electrochemical water splitting but remains a challenge. NiCoP is a promising non-noble hydrogen-evolving electrocatalyst due to its high intrinsic electrical conductivity, fast mass transfer effects, and tunable electronic structure. Nevertheless, its hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity in full pH-range has been rarely developed. Herein, a Ni-Co carbonate-hydroxide induced metal-organic framework transformation strategy is proposed to in situ grow porous, honeycomb-like NiCoP nanoplates on Ni foam for high-performance, pH-universal hydrogen evolution reaction. The resultant NiCoP catalyst exhibits a highly 2D nanoporous network in which 20-50 nm, well-crystalline nanoparticles are interconnected with each other closely, and delivers versatile HER electroactivity with η10 of 98, 105, and 97 mV in 1 m KOH, 0.5 m H2 SO4 , and 1 m phosphate buffer solution electrolytes, respectively. This overpotential remarkably surpasses the one of commercial Pt/Cs in both neutral and alkaline media at a large current density (>100 mA cm-2 ). The corresponding full water-splitting electrolyzer constructed from the 2D porous NiCoP cathode requires only a cell voltage of 1.43 V at 10 mA cm-2 , superior to most recently reported electrocatalysts. This work may open up a new avenue on the rational design of nonprecious, pH-universal electrocatalyst.

Abstract
The exploitation of effective strategies to accelerate the Na+ diffusion kinetics and improve the structural stability in the electrode is extremely important for the development of high efficientcy sodium-ion batteries. Herein, Se vacancies and heterostructure engineering are utilized to improve the Na+ -storage performance of transition metal selenides anode prepared through a facile two-in-one route. The experimental results coupled with theoretical calculations reveal that the successful construction of the Se vacancies and heterostructure interfaces can effectively lower the Na+ diffusion barrier, accelerate the charge transfer efficiency, improve Na+ adsorption ability, and provide an abundance of active sites. Consequently, the batteries based on the constructed ZnSe/CoSe2 -CN anode manifest a high initial Coulombic efficiency (97.7%), remarkable specific capacities (547.1 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 ), superb rate capability (362.1 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1 ), as well as ultrastable long-term stability (1000 cycles) with a satisfied specific capacity (535.6 mAh g-1 ) at 1 A g-1 . This work facilitates an in-depth understanding of the synergistic effect of vacancies and heterojunctions in improving the Na+ reaction kinetics, providing an effective strategy to the rational design of key materials for high efficiency rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
The ability to craft high-efficiency and non-precious bifunctional oxygen catalysts opens an enticing avenue for the real-world implementation of metal-air batteries (MABs). Herein, Co3 O4 encapsulated within nitrogen defect-rich g-C3 N4 (denoted Co3 O4 @ND-CN) as a bifunctional oxygen catalyst for MABs is prepared by graphitizing the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-67@ND-CN. Co3 O4 @ND-CN possesses superb bifunctional catalytic performance, which facilitates the construction of high-performance MABs. Concretely, the rechargeable zinc-air battery based on Co3 O4 @ND-CN shows a superior round-trip efficiency of ≈60% with long-term durability (over 340 cycles), exceeding the battery with the state-of-the-art noble metals. The corresponding lithium-oxygen battery using Co3 O4 @ND-CN exhibits an excellent maximum discharge/charge capacity (9838.8/9657.6 mAh g-1 ), an impressive discharge/charge overpotential (1.14 V/0.18 V), and outstanding cycling stability. Such compelling electrocatalytic processes and device performances of Co3 O4 @ND-CN originate from concurrent compositional (i.e., defect-engineering) and structural (i.e., wrinkled morphology with abundant porosity) elaboration as well as the well-defined synergy between Co3 O4 and ND-CN, which produce an advantageous surface electronic environment corroborated by theoretical modeling. By extension, a rich diversity of other metal oxides@ND-CN with adjustable defects, architecture, and enhanced activities may be rationally designed and crafted for both scientific research on catalytic properties and technological development in renewable energy conversion and storage systems.

Abstract
High-entropy (HE) electrocatalysts are becoming a research hotspot due to their interesting "cocktail effect" and have great potential for tailored catalytic properties. However, it is still a great challenge to illustrate their inherent catalytic mechanism for the "cocktail effect", and there is also a paucity of quantitative descriptors to characterize the specific catalytic activity and give logical design strategies for HE systems. Herein, the unexpected activation of all metal sites in HE Cu-Co-Fe-Ag-Mo (oxy)hydroxides for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is reported, and it is found that metal-oxygen d-p hybridization, as an effective descriptor, can indicate the intrinsic activity of each metal site. According to the quantitative hybridization, introducing an electron donor (e.g., Ag) is raised and verified to reinforce the electrocatalytic activity of the HE system. Consequently, Ag-decorated Co-Cu-Fe-Ag-Mo (oxy)hydroxide (Ag@CoCuFeAgMoOOH) electrocatalysts are constructed by an electrochemical reconstruction method, and their OER performances are thoroughly characterized. The Ag@CoCuFeAgMoOOH is verified with a low overpotential (270 mV at 100 mA cm-2 ) and a small Tafel slope (35.3 mV dec-1 ), as well as good electrochemical stability. The favorable activity of the electron donor and underlying synergistic "cocktail effect" are demonstrated and disclosed. This work opens up a new strategy to guide the design/fabrication of advanced HE electrocatalysts.

Salt-Templated Nanoarchitectonics of CoSe2-NC Nanosheets as an Efficient Bifunctional Oxygen Electrocatalyst for Water Splitting. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23095239.

Abstract
Recently, the extensive research of efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts (oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER)) on water splitting has drawn increasing attention. Herein, a salt-template strategy is prepared to synthesize nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets encapsulated with dispersed CoSe2 nanoparticles (CoSe2-NC NSs), while the thickness of CoSe2-NC NSs is only about 3.6 nm. Profiting from the ultrathin morphology, large surface area, and promising electrical conductivity, the CoSe2-NC NSs exhibited excellent electrocatalytic of 10 mA·cm−2 current density at small overpotentials of 247 mV for OER and 75 mV for HER. Not only does the nitrogen-doped carbon matrix effectively avoid self-aggregation of CoSe2 nanoparticles, but it also prevents the corrosion of CoSe2 from electrolytes and shows favorable durability after long-term stability tests. Furthermore, an overall water-splitting system delivers a current density of 10 mA·cm−2 at a voltage of 1.54 V with resultants being both the cathode and anode catalyst in alkaline solutions. This work provides a new way to synthesize efficient and nonprecious bifunctional electrocatalysts for water splitting.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) core-shell heterostructured NixSy@MnOxHy nanorods grown on nickel foam (NixSy@MnOxHy/NF) were successfully fabricated via a simple hydrothermal reaction and a subsequent electrodeposition process. The fabricated NixSy@MnOxHy/NF shows outstanding bifunctional activity and stability for hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction, as well as overall-water-splitting performance. The main origins are the interface engineering of NixSy@MnOxHy, the shell-protection characteristic of MnOxHy, and the 3D open nanorod structure, which remarkably endow the electrocatalyst with high activity and stability. Exploring highly active and stable transition metal-based bifunctional electrocatalysts has recently attracted extensive research interests for achieving high inherent activity, abundant exposed active sites, rapid mass transfer, and strong structure stability for overall water splitting. Herein, an interface engineering coupled with shell-protection strategy was applied to construct three-dimensional (3D) core-shell NixSy@MnOxHy heterostructure nanorods grown on nickel foam (NixSy@MnOxHy/NF) as a bifunctional electrocatalyst. NixSy@MnOxHy/NF was synthesized via a facile hydrothermal reaction followed by an electrodeposition process. The X-ray absorption fine structure spectra reveal that abundant Mn-S bonds connect the heterostructure interfaces of NixSy@MnOxHy, leading to a strong electronic interaction, which improves the intrinsic activities of hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Besides, as an efficient protective shell, the MnOxHy dramatically inhibits the electrochemical corrosion of the electrocatalyst at high current densities, which remarkably enhances the stability at high potentials. Furthermore, the 3D nanorod structure not only exposes enriched active sites, but also accelerates the electrolyte diffusion and bubble desorption. Therefore, NixSy@MnOxHy/NF exhibits exceptional bifunctional activity and stability for overall water splitting, with low overpotentials of 326 and 356 mV for OER at 100 and 500 mA cm-2, respectively, along with high stability of 150 h at 100 mA cm-2. Furthermore, for overall water splitting, it presents a low cell voltage of 1.529 V at 10 mA cm-2, accompanied by excellent stability at 100 mA cm-2 for 100 h. This work sheds a light on exploring highly active and stable bifunctional electrocatalysts by the interface engineering coupled with shell-protection strategy.

Abstract
As a clean and renewable energy carrier, hydrogen (H2) has become an attractive alternative to dwindling fossil fuels. The key to realizing hydrogen-based energy systems is to develop efficient and economical hydrogen production methods. The water electrolysis technique has the advantages of cleanliness, sustainability, and high efficiency, which can be applied to large-scale hydrogen production. However, the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode plays a decisive role in the efficiency of hydrogen evolution during water splitting. Generally, noble metal catalysts (such as ruthenium and iridium) are considered to exhibit the best OER performance; however, they exhibit disadvantages such as high costs, limited reserves, and poor stability. Therefore, the research on highly efficient non-noble metal catalysts that can replace their noble metal counterparts has always been important. This review presents the recent advances in the preparation of high-performance OER electrocatalysts by regulating the electronic structure of 3d transition metals. First, we introduce the reaction mechanism of water splitting and the OER, which reveals the high requirement of the complex four-electron process of the OER. Second, the electron transfer mode and development progress of highly active transition metal electrocatalysts are used to summarize the research situation of transition metal OER catalysts in water splitting. Finally, the future development direction and challenges of transition metal catalysts are prospected based on the current research progress.

Abstract
The development of highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and urea oxidation reaction (UOR) electrocatalysts with abundant resources is necessary for green hydrogen production. Ni-based compounds have received attention as the most promising earth-abundant electrocatalysts for OER and UOR, whereas some compounds in this main group, e.g., nickel selenides and tellurides, have received little attention. Herein, we demonstrate the interfacial engineered Ni0.85Se/NiTe array on Ni foam as a highly efficient catalyst for the OER, which exhibits an overpotential of 200 mV to obtain a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline solutions. Meanwhile, it exhibits a low potential of 1.301 V for the UOR at a current density of 100 mA cm-2. In particular, it even has the potential to be used in methanol oxidation reaction and ethanol oxidation reaction. The vertical NiTe array not only serves as the conductive substrate for highly improving the mass loading of Ni0.85Se, but also triggers the strong electron interaction between two components, leading to increased adsorption sites available for the intermediates formed in the OER and UOR on the Ni0.85Se surface. This study provides a broad avenue to construct hierarchical nanostructures as outstanding electrocatalysts for efficient OER and UOR.

Abstract
Developing high-efficiency electrocatalysts toward overall water splitting is an increasingly important area for sustainable energy evolution. Theoretical calculation results demonstrate that the incorporation of Ru optimizes the Gibbs free energy of adsorption of H2 O molecules and intermediates for the hydrogen/oxygen evolution reactions (HER/OER) on metal selenide sites, thus boosting electrocatalytic overall water splitting. Accordingly, ruthenium modified nickel diselenide nanosheet arrays are designed and construct on nickel foam (Ru-NiSe2 /NF). The obtained Ru-NiSe2 /NF electrode with a stable 3D structure shows greatly improved OER and HER activity in alkaline solution. Particularly, toward OER, it only requires 210 mV to obtain a current density of 10 mA cm-2 , and the formation of the intermediate nickel oxyhydroxide as active center during the OER process is captured by in situ Raman. Moreover, the overall water splitting can be driven by a voltage of merely 1.537 V to obtain 10 mA cm-2 . This work provides an available strategy for selenides to enhance electrochemical properties and inspires more studies to explore highly efficient electrocatalysts toward full water splitting.
