Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to chemical fuels is attractive for solving both the greenhouse effect and the energy crisis, but the key challenge is to design and synthesize photocatalysts with remarkable performance under visible light irradiation. Efficient catalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO2RR) with light is considered a promising sustainable and clean approach to solve environmental problems. Herein, we found a new photocatalyst ([Mn(en)2]6[V12B18O54(OH)6]) (abbreviated as Mn6V12) based on the modifiability of polyoxometalates, in which Mn acts as a modifying unit to efficiently reduce CO2 to CO and effectively inhibit the hydrogen precipitation reaction. This Mn modified polyoxometalate catalyst has a maximum CO generation rate of 4625.0 μmol g-1 h-1 and a maximum H2 generation rate of 499.6 μmol g-1 h-1, with a selectivity of 90.3% for CO generation and 9.7% for H2 generation. This polyoxometalate photocatalyst can effectively reduce CO and inhibit the hydrogen precipitation reaction. It provides a new idea for the efficient photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO2RR) with polyoxometalate catalysts.

Abstract
Replacing the oxygen evolution reaction with the alcohols oxidation reaction (AOR) in electrolytic water is not only expected to reduce the overall energy consumption, but also realize the green synthesis of high value-added chemicals. However, designing high-activity electrocatalysts toward AOR yet faces a daunting challenge due to the indefinite conversion mechanism of different alcohols. Herein, a self-supported N-CoFeP/NF electrocatalyst on a nickel foam is synthesized via hydrothermal method, followed by low temperature nitriding and phosphating. The N-CoFeP/NF exhibits a fine nanorod nanostructure and high crystallinity. The AOR using N-CoFeP/NF catalysts requires a significantly lower potential (1.38-1.42 V vs. RHE) at 100 mA cm-2, reducing the energy input and the improvement of the overall efficiency. Moreover, alcohols with secondary hydroxyl groups located in the middle of the carbon chain underwent CC bond breakage during oxidation, yielding primarily formic acid (FE = 74 %) and acetic acid (FE = 50 %), which exhibits more attractive performance than alcohols with primary hydroxyl groups located at the end group did not undergo chemical bond breakage at a high current density of 400 mA cm-2. This study provides a novel and effective method to design TMPs and the selection of alcohols for anodic reaction, which can be used as a versatile strategy to improve the performance of anodic AOR coupled hydrogen evolution.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic reduction of NO2- (NO2RR) holds promise as a sustainable pathway to both promoting the development of emerging NH3 economies and allowing the closing of the NOx loop. Highly efficient electrocatalysts that could facilitate this complex six-electron transfer process are urgently desired. Herein, tremella-like CoNi-LDH intercalated by cyclic polyoxometalate (POM) anion P8W48 (P8W48/CoNi-LDH) prepared by a simple two-step hydrothermal-exfoliation assembly method is proposed as an effective electrocatalyst for NO2- to NH3 conversion. The introduction of POM with excellent redox ability tremendously increased the electrocatalytic performance of CoNi-LDH in the NO2RR process, causing P8W48/CoNi-LDH to exhibit large NH3 yield of 0.369 mmol h-1 mgcat-1 and exceptionally high Faradic efficiency of 97.0% at -1.3 V vs the Ag/AgCl reference electrode in 0.1 M phosphate buffer saline (PBS, pH = 7) containing 0.1 M NO2-. Furthermore, P8W48/CoNi-LDH demonstrated excellent durability during cyclic electrolysis. This work provides a new reference for the application of POM-based nanocomposites in the electrochemical reduction of NO2- to obtain value-added NH3.

Abstract
Limited by the strong oxidation environment and sluggish reconstruction process in oxygen evolution reaction (OER), designing rapid self-reconstruction with high activity and stability electrocatalysts is crucial to promoting anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolyzer. Herein, trace Fe/S-modified Ni oxyhydroxide (Fe/S-NiOOH/NF) nanowires are constructed via a simple in situ electrochemical oxidation strategy based on precipitation-dissolution equilibrium. In situ characterization techniques reveal that the successful introduction of Fe and S leads to lattice disorder and boosts favorable hydroxyl capture, accelerating the formation of highly active γ-NiOOH. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have also verified that the incorporation of Fe and S optimizes the electrons redistribution and the d-band center, decreasing the energy barrier of the rate-determining step (*O→*OOH). Benefited from the unique electronic structure and intermediate adsorption, the Fe/S-NiOOH/NF catalyst only requires the overpotential of 345 mV to reach the industrial current density of 1000 mA cm-2 for 120 h. Meanwhile, assembled AEM water electrolyzer (Fe/S-NiOOH//Pt/C-60 °C) can deliver 1000 mA cm-2 at a cell voltage of 2.24 V, operating at the average energy efficiency of 71% for 100 h. In summary, this work presents a rapid self-reconstruction strategy for high-performance AEM electrocatalysts for future hydrogen economy.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic water splitting driven by renewable electricity has been recognized as a promising approach for green hydrogen production. Different from conventional strategies in developing electrocatalysts for the two half-reactions of water splitting (e.g., the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, HER and OER) separately, there has been a growing interest in designing and developing bifunctional electrocatalysts, which are able to catalyze both the HER and OER. In addition, considering the high overpotentials required for OER while limited value of the produced oxygen, there is another rapidly growing interest in exploring alternative oxidation reactions to replace OER for hybrid water splitting toward energy-efficient hydrogen generation. This Review begins with an introduction on the fundamental aspects of water splitting, followed by a thorough discussion on various physicochemical characterization techniques that are frequently employed in probing the active sites, with an emphasis on the reconstruction of bifunctional electrocatalysts during redox electrolysis. The design, synthesis, and performance of diverse bifunctional electrocatalysts based on noble metals, nonprecious metals, and metal-free nanocarbons, for overall water splitting in acidic and alkaline electrolytes, are thoroughly summarized and compared. Next, their application toward hybrid water splitting is also presented, wherein the alternative anodic reactions include sacrificing agents oxidation, pollutants oxidative degradation, and organics oxidative upgrading. Finally, a concise statement on the current challenges and future opportunities of bifunctional electrocatalysts for both overall and hybrid water splitting is presented in the hope of guiding future endeavors in the quest for energy-efficient and sustainable green hydrogen production.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered a promising device for next-generation energy storage due to their high safety and low cost. However, developing high-performance cathodes that can be matched with zinc metal anodes remains a challenge in unlocking the full potential of AZIBs. In this study, a typical transition metal layered double hydroxides (NiCo-LDHs) can be in situ reconstructed to NiCo-LDHs/Ni(Co)OOH heterostructure using an electrochemical cycling activation (ECA) method, serving as a novel cathode material for AZIBs. The optimized ECA-NiCo-LDHs cathode demonstrates a high capacity of 181.5 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 and retains 75% of initial capacity after 700 cycles at 5 A g-1 . The abundant heterointerfaces of the NiCo-LDHs/Ni(Co)OOH material can activate additional active sites for zinc-ion storage and accelerate ion diffusion. Theoretical calculations also suggest the heterostructure can boost charge transfer and regulate ion-adsorption capability, thereby improving the electrochemical performance. Additionally, the flexible AZIBs device exhibits good service performance. This study on interface engineering introduces a new possibility for utilizing LDHs in AZIBs and offers a novel strategy for designing electrode materials.

Abstract
Because of their special features, NiFe-LDHs (nickel iron layered double hydroxides) are prospective OER (oxygen evolution reaction) catalysts that might be utilized to catalyse the electrolysis of water and produce hydrogen to address the energy crisis. In this work, the electronic structure and electrocatalytic performance of the NiFe-LDH were accurately regulated by optimizing the Ni sites, which was enabled by adjacent metal sites coordinated with the "polyoxometalate electron sponge". With extension of the modification time, the Ni 2p binding energy, the Ni3+/Ni2+ ratio and the OER properties were gradually tuned, which indicated accurate regulation of active Ni sites by the "polyoxometalate electron sponge" on a temporal scale. Additionally, NiFe-LDH-PW12-12 h (NiFe-LDH modified by polyoxometalate anions for 12 h) showed the highest OER performance along with fast electron transfer, superior reaction kinetics and electrochemical durability, with an overpotential ∼68 mV lower than that of NiFe-LDH. This work provides an accurate strategy for regulating the electronic structures of active metal sites for the OER.

Abstract
Modulating the microenvironment of single-atom catalysts (SACs) is critical to optimizing catalytic activity. Herein, we innovatively propose a strategy to improve the local reaction environment of Ru single atoms by precisely switching the crystallinity of the support from high crystalline and low crystalline, which significantly improves the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. The Ru single-atom catalyst anchored on low-crystalline nickel hydroxide (Ru-LC-Ni(OH)2 ) reconstructs the distribution balance of the interfacial ions due to the activation effect of metal dangling bonds on the support. Single-site Ru with a low oxidation state induces the aggregation of hydronium ions (H3 O+ ), leading to the formation of a local acidic microenvironment in alkaline media, breaking the pH-dependent HER activity. As a comparison, the Ru single-atom catalyst anchored on high-crystalline nickel hydroxide (Ru-HC-Ni(OH)2 ) exhibits a sluggish Volmer step and a conventional local reaction environment. As expected, Ru-LC-Ni(OH)2 requires low overpotentials of 9 and 136 mV at 10 and 1000 mA cm-2 in alkaline conditions and operates stably at 500 mA cm-2 for 500 h in an alkaline seawater anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer. This study provides a new perspective for constructing highly active single-atom electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) have attracted tremendous attention due to their widespread appearance in the environment and biota, and their adverse effects on organisms. Since plastics are substantially produced to meet human needs, primary and secondary MPs are extensively trapped in wastewater treatment plants, freshwater, drinking water, ocean, air, and soil. The serious MPs pollution calls for efficient treatment strategies Herein, we discuss three catalytic processes (photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and biocatalysis) for the sustainable management of MPs, and the relevant catalytic mechanisms are clarified. For photocatalysis, three categories (organic, inorganic, hybrid) of photocatalysts are listed, with degradation efficiency of 23%-100%. Next, relative impact factors on photocatalysis, such as characteristics of MPs and photocatalysts, are discussed. Then, some promising electrocatalysts for the degradation/conversion of (micro)plastics and standard electrolyzer designs are briefly introduced. This electrocatalytic method has achieved over 77% of Faradaic efficiency. Next, potential organisms with abundant biocatalysts for degrading different types of MPs are reviewed. Advances in three bioremediation techniques including biositimulation, bioaugmentation, and biosurfactant are outlined. Lastly, perspectives are put forward to promote scientific development in solving environmental issues on MPs pollution in broad fields. This paper provides insights into the development of next-generation techniques for MPs pollution management in a sustainable manner.

Abstract
While great achievements have been made in the development of mechanically robust nanocomposite hydrogels, incorporating multiple interactions on the bases of two demensional inorganic cross-linkers to construct self-strengthening hydrogels has rarely been investigated. To this end, we propose here a new method for the coupling the dynamic covalent bonds and non-covalent interactions within a pseudo double-network system. The pseudo first network, formed through the Schiff Base reation between Tris-modified layered double hydroxides (Tris-LDHs) and oxidized dextran (ODex), is linked to the second network built upon non-covalent interactions between Tris-LDHs and poly(acrylamide-co-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-propanesulfonate) (p-(AM-co-AMPS). The swelling and mechanical properties of the resulting hydrogels have been investigated as a function of the ODex and AMPS contents. The as-prepared hydrogel can swell to 420 times of its original size and retain more than 99.9 wt.% of water. Mechanical tests show that the hydrogel can bear 90 % of compression and is able to be stretched to near 30 times of its original length. Cyclic tensile tests reveal that the hydrogels are capable of self-strengthening after mechanical training. The unique energy dissipation mechanism based on the dynamic covalent and non-covalent interactions is considered to be responsible for the outstanding swelling and mechanical performances.

Abstract
Nickel-iron (oxy)hydroxides (NiFeOxHy) have been validated to speed up sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) but still lack satisfactory substrates to support them. Here, non-stoichiometric blue titanium oxide (B-TiOx) was directly derived from Ti metal by alkaline anodization and used as a substrate for electrodeposition of amorphous NiFeOxHy (NiFe/B-TiOx). The performed X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations evidenced that there is a charge transfer between B-TiOx and NiFeOxHy, which gives rise to an elevated valence at the Ni sites (average oxidation state ∼ 2.37). The synthesized NiFe/B-TiOx delivers a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and 100 mA cm-2 at an overpotential of 227 mV and 268 mV, respectively, which are better than that of pure Ti and stainless steel. It also shows outstanding activity and stability under industrial conditions of 6 M KOH. The post-OER characterization studies revealed that the surface morphology and valence states have no significant change after 24 h of operation at 500 mA cm-2, and also can effectively inhibit the leaching of Fe. We illustrate that surface modification of Ti which has high corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, to generate strong interactions with NiFeOxHy is a simple and effective strategy to improve the OER activity and stability of non-precious metal electrodes.

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
Developing highly active and cost-effective electrocatalysts is critical for enhancing the intrinsic performance of electrocatalytic water splitting. Oxoanion-based compounds, such as phosphates and molybdates, have emerged as promising electrocatalysts owing to their advantageous properties of nontoxicity, low price, and strong water adsorption ability. However, their relatively inferior activity has impeded extensive investigation into electrochemical applications. Herein, an amorphous phosphate-adsorbed and RuNi-doped molybdate (RuNiMo-P) composite is synthesized on nickel foam (NF) support by using a simple two-step method. Significantly, an acidic solution of phosphomolybdic acid (PMo12), containing a low concentration of Ru, can etch the NF, contributing to the in situ growth of the RuNi-doped molybdate precursor. Subsequent phosphating ensures the surface formation of the amorphous phosphate layer due to abundant oxygen in the precursor. The strong structural interaction between RuNi-doped molybdate and amorphous phosphate in RuNiMo-P prompts an enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance, delivering an overpotential of 38 mV at a current density of -10 mA cm-2, a Tafel slope of 53 mV dec-1, and good stability in an alkaline medium. Characterizations after HER reveal that RuNi doping, partial dissolution of phosphate and molybdate species, and newly formed NiOOH nanosheets can expose active sites, facilitate charge transfer, and modify electronic structures, thereby improving the HER performance effectively.

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
Acid-base bifunctional catalysts have attracted increasing attention due to the improved overall efficiency of synthetic reactions. Herein, we reported the successful fabrication of a PW12@NiCo-LDH acid-base bifunctional catalyst by using the in-situ encapsulation-reassembly strategy. The evolution process of morphology and structure was monitored carefully by various time-dependent characterizations. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that the terminal oxygen of PW12 in PW12@NiCo-LDH preferred to assemble with the oxygen vacancies on NiCo-LDH. When applied for deacetalization-Knoevenagel condensation, the PW12@NiCo-LDH displayed >99% conversion of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal (BDMA) and >99% yield of ethyl α-cyanocinnamate (ECC). Moreover, PW12@NiCo-LDH can be recycled at least 10 cycles without obvious structural change, which can be attributed to the confinement of PW12 into the NiCo-LDH nanocage. Such excellent catalytic activity of PW12@NiCo-LDH was benefited from the short mass transfer pathway between acid sites and base sites, which was caused by the stable assembly between PW12 and NiCo-LDH.

Abstract
Nickel-iron based hydr(oxy)oxides have been well recognized as one of the best oxygen-evolving catalysts in alkaline water electrolysis. A crucial problem, however, is that iron leakage during prolonged operation would lead to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) deactivation over time, especially under large current densities. Here, the NiFe-based Prussian blue analogue (PBA) is designed as a structure-flexible precursor for navigating an electrochemical self-reconstruction (ECSR) with Fe cation compensation to fabricate a highly active hydr(oxy)oxide (NiFeOx Hy ) catalyst stabilized with NiFe synergic active sites. The generated NiFeOx Hy catalyst exhibits the low overpotentials of 302 and 313 mV required to afford large current densities of 500 and 1000 mA cm-2 , respectively. Moreover, its robust stability over 500 h at 500 mA cm-2 stands out among the NiFe-based OER catalysts reported previously. Various in/ex situ studies indicate that the Fe fixation by dynamic reconstruction process can reinforce the Fe-activated effect on the OER amenable to the industrial-level large current conditions against the Fe leakage. This work opens up a feasible strategy to design highly active and durable catalysts via thermodynamically self-adaptive reconstruction engineering.

Abstract
An efficient NiSx -modified β-Ni(OH)2 electrode is reported for the selective oxidation reaction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMFOR) with excellent electrocatalytic 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) selectivity (99.4%), conversion (97.7%), and Faradaic efficiency (98.3%). The decoration of NiSx will evoke high-valence Ni2+ δ species in the reconstructed β-Ni(OH)2 electrode, which are the real active species for HMFOR. The generated NiSx /Ni(OH)O modulates the proton-coupled electron-transfer (PCET) process of HMFOR, where the electrocatalytically generated Ni(OH)O can effectively trap the protons from the CHO end in HMF to realize electron transfer. The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) competes with the HMFOR when NiSx /Ni(OH)O continues to accumulate, to generate the NiSx /NiOx (OH)y intermediate. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental results verify that the adsorption energy of HMF can be optimized through the increased NiSx composition for more efficient capture of protons and electrons in the HMFOR.

Abstract
Dimension engineering plays a critical role in determining the electrocatalytic performance of catalysts towards water electrolysis since it is highly sensitive to the surface and interface properties. Bearing these considerations into mind, intensive efforts have been devoted to the rational dimension design and engineering, and many advanced nanocatalysts with multidimensions have been successfully fabricated. Aiming to provide more guidance for the fabrication of highly efficient noble-metal-based electrocatalysts, this review has focused on the recent progress in dimension engineering of noble-metal-based electrocatalysts towards water splitting, including the advanced engineering strategies, the application of noble-metal-based electrocatalysts with distinctive geometric structure from 0D to 1D, 2D, 3D, and multidimensions. In addition, the perspective insights and challenges of the dimension engineering in the noble-metal-based electrocatalysts is also systematically discussed.
