Abstract
Benefiting from the ultrahigh specific surface areas, massive exposed surface atoms, and highly tunable microstructures, the two-dimensional (2D) noble metal nanosheets (NSs) have presented promising performance for various electrocatalytic reactions. Nevertheless, the heteroatom doping strategy, and in particular, the electronic structure tuning mechanisms of the 2D noble metal catalysts (NMCs) yet remain ambiguous. Herein, we first review several effective strategies for modulating the electrocatalytic performance of 2D NMCs. Then, the electronic tuning effect of hetero-dopants for boosting the electrocatalytic properties of 2D NMCs is systematically discussed. Finally, we put forward current challenges in the field of 2D NMCs, and propose possible solutions, particularly from the perspective of the evolution of electron microscopy. This review attempts to establish an intrinsic correlation between the electronic structures and the catalytic properties, so as to provide a guideline for designing high-performance electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Here, we report the systematical synthesis of zeolite-templated carbon (ZTC) supported Ru and Rh mono- or bi-metallic electrocatalysts towards hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The zeolite A or ZSM-5 derived ZTC supports and metal sites were adjusted, and all electrocatalysts outperformed the commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst for HER performance. In particular, the RhRu/(ZTC/ZSM5) sample exhibited superior catalytic performance with the overpotential of 24.8 mV@10 mA ⋅ cm-2, and outstanding stability with 1 mV drop after 20000 cyclic voltammetry circles. This work offers a simple impregnation method for the synthesis of highly performed HER electrocatalysts supported on porous zeolite-templated carbon.

Abstract
High-efficiency water electrolysis over a broad pH range is desirable but challenging. Herein, Ru-decorated VS2 on carbon cloth (Ru-VS2/CC) has been in situ synthesized, which features the regulated electronic structure of VS2 by introducing Ru. It is remarkable that the optimal Ru-VS2/CC displays excellent electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity with overpotentials of 89 and 87 mV at -10 mA cm-2 in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1.0 M KOH, respectively. Theoretical calculations and electrocatalytic measurements have demonstrated that introducing Ru induces an enhanced charge density around the Fermi level, facilitating charge transfer and speeding up the electrocatalytic HER kinetics. The Gibbs free energy of the hydrogen intermediate (ΔGH*) of Ru-VS2/CC (0.23 eV) is much closer to zero than that of pure VS2 (0.51 eV) and Ru (-0.37 eV), demonstrating an easier hydrogen adsorption and desorption process for Ru-VS2/CC. The more favorable ΔGH*, differential charge density and the d-band center endow Ru-VS2 with enhanced intrinsic electrocatalytic activity. This study presents a feasible strategy for enhancing electrocatalytic HER activity by the regulation of the electronic structure and the rational integration of dual active components.

Abstract
The eminence of transitioning from traditional fossil fuel-based energy resources to renewable and sustainable energy sources is most evidently crucial. The potential of hydrogen as an alternative energy source has specifically focuses the electrocatalytic water splitting (EWS) as a promising technique for generating hydrogen. Development of efficient electrocatalysts to facilitate the EWS process while rationalizing the limitations of noble metal catalysts like platinum has become one of the daunting tasks. Consequently, porous functional materials such as metal complexes (MCs) and graphene oxide (GO) can act as potential catalysts for EWS. Therefore, a composite of GO and a mononuclear bismuth metal complex is synthesized through in situ facile synthesis, which is further utilized as an efficient electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Several potential electrocatalytic MC@GO composite (BMGO-3,5,7) materials were prepared with compositional variation of GO (3, 5, and 7 wt %). The experimental results demonstrate that the BMGO5 composite exhibits excellent HER activity with a low overpotential value of 105 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a low Tafel slope of 44 mV dec-1 in 1 M KOH solution. Furthermore, a comprehensive investigation on the potentiality of the BMC-GO composite for hydrogen evolution from river water splitting was performed in order to address the issue of freshwater depletion. Inclusion of a mononuclear MC for facile synthesis of functional GO-based efficient electrocatalyst material is very scanty in the literature. This unique approach could assist future research endeavors toward designing efficient electrocatalysts for sustainable renewable energy generation. This is one of the first of its kind, where mononuclear MCs were utilized to develop GO-based functional composite materials for efficient electrocatalysis toward sustainable renewable energy generation.

Abstract
To improve the sluggish kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), a key component in water-splitting applications, there is an urgent desire to develop efficient, cost-effective, and stable electrocatalysts. Strain engineering is proving an efficient strategy for increasing the catalytic activity of electrocatalysts. This work presents the development of Ru-Au bimetallic aerogels by a simple one-step in situ reduction-gelation approach, which exhibits strain effects and electron transfer to create a remarkable HER activity and stability in an alkaline environment. The surface strain induced by the bimetallic segregated structure shifts the d-band center downward, enhancing catalysis by balancing the processes of water dissociation, OH* adsorption, and H* adsorption. Specifically, the optimized catalyst shows low overpotentials of only 24.1 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline electrolytes, surpassing commercial Pt/C. This study can contribute to the understanding of strain engineering in bimetallic electrocatalysts for HER at the atomic scale.

Abstract
Highly efficient, cost-effective, and durable electrocatalysts, capable of accelerating sluggish reaction kinetics and attaining high performance, are essential for developing sustainable energy technologies but remain a great challenge. Here, we leverage a facile heterostructure design strategy to construct atomically thin Os@Pd metallenes, with atomic-scale Os nanoclusters of varying geometries confined on the surface layer of the Pd lattice, which exhibit excellent bifunctional properties for catalyzing both hydrogen evolution (HER) and oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). Importantly, Os5%@Pd metallenes manifest a low η10 overpotential of only 11 mV in 1.0 M KOH electrolyte (HER) as well as a highly positive E1/2 potential of 0.92 V in 0.1 M KOH (ORR), along with superior mass activities and electrochemical durability. Theoretical investigations reveal that the strong electron redistribution between Os and Pd elements renders a precise fine-tuning of respective d-band centers, thereby guiding adsorption of hydrogen and oxygen intermediates with an appropriate binding energy for the optimal HER and ORR.

Abstract
The development of cost-effective electrocatalysts with high efficiency and long durability for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) remains a great challenge in the field of water splitting. Herein, we design an ultrafine and highly dispersed Ru nanoparticles stabilized on porous V8C7/C matrix via pyrolysis of the metal-organic frameworks V-BDC (BDC: 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate). The obtained Ru-V8C7/C composite exhibits excellent HER performance in all pH ranges. At the overpotential of 40 mV, its mass activity is about 1.9, 4.1 and 9.4 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C in acidic, neutral and alkaline media, respectively. Meanwhile, Ru-V8C7/C shows the remarkably high stability in all pH ranges which, in particular, can maintain the current density of 10 mA cm-2 for over 150 h in 1.0 mol L-1 phosphate buffer saline (PBS). This outstanding HER performance can be attributed to the high intrinsic activity of Ru species and their strong interface interactions to the V8C7/C substrate. The synergistic effect of abundant active sites on the surface and the formed Ru-C-V units at the interface promotes the adsorption of reaction intermediates and the release of active sites, contributing the fast HER kinetics. This work provides a reference for developing versatile and robust HER catalysts by surface and interface regulation for pH tolerance.

Abstract
Designing low-dimensional nanomaterials is vital to address the energy and environmental crisis by means of electrocatalytic conversion reactions. Bimetallenes, as an emerging class of 2D materials, present promise for electrocatalytic conversion reactions. By leveraging atomically thin layers, bimetallenes present unsaturated surface coordination, high specific surface area and high conductivity, which are all indispensable features for heterogeneous electrochemical reactions. However, the intrinsic activity and stability of bimetallenes needs to be improved further for bimetallene electrocatalysts, due to the higher demands of practical applications. Recently, many strategies have been developed to optimize the chemical or electronic structure to accommodate transfer of reactants, adsorption or desorption of intermediates, and dissociation of products. Considering that most such work focuses on adjusting the structure, this review offers in-depth insight into recent representative strategies for optimizing bimetallene electrocatalysts, mainly including alloying, strain effects, ligand effects, defects and heteroatom doping. Moreover, by summarizing the performance of bimetallenes optimized using various strategies, we provide a means to understand structure-property relationships. In addition, future prospects and challenges are discussed for further development of bimetallene electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Metallene materials with atomic thicknesses are receiving increasing attention in electrocatalysis due to ultrahigh surface areas and distinctive surface strain. However, the continuous strain regulation of metallene remains a grand challenge. Herein, taking advantage of autocatalytic reduction of Cu2+ on biaxially strained, carbon-intercalated Ir metallene, we achieve control over the carbon extraction kinetics, enabling fine regulation of carbon intercalation concentration and continuous tuning of (111) in-plane (-2.0%-2.6%) and interplanar (3.5%-8.8%) strains over unprecedentedly wide ranges. Electrocatalysis measurements reveal the strain-dependent activity toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), where weakly strained Ir metallene (w-Ir metallene) with the smallest lattice constant presents the highest mass activity of 2.89 A mg-1Ir at -0.02 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). Theoretical calculations validated the pivotal role of lattice compression in optimizing H binding on carbon-intercalated Ir metallene surfaces by downshifting the d-band center, further highlighting the significance of strain engineering for boosted electrocatalysis.

Abstract
One of the crucial parts of the electrochemically focused energy conversion and storage system is the hydrogen evolution reaction. The further exploration of electrocatalysts made of nonprecious metals could help to bring the technology closer to industrialization. Here, we present an effective hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalyst that employs hydrothermal and phosphorization steps to create three-dimensional (3D) porous MoP2-NiCoP heterostructure nanosheets on nickel foam (MoP2-NiCoP/NF). H2O-dissociation and H-adsorption were effectively achieved due to the distinctive interface engineering between NiCoP and MoP2, which functions as a channel for immediate electron transfer. Compared to the single-component MoP2 and NiCoP, the synergistic interaction between the heterogeneous components coupling and the 3D porous structure enables MoP2-NiCoP/NF to exhibit satisfactory catalytic activity with an ultralow overpotential of 50 mV at 10 mA cm-2, which is close to the commercial Pt/C catalyst in alkaline media. More importantly, it exhibits good stability, with the ability to be electrolyzed in 1.0 M KOH electrolyte for 24 h without a significant change in overpotential. This study offers directions for the design of low-cost, high-activity, transition metal phosphides (TMPs)-based HER catalyst alternatives for future practical applications.

Abstract
The design and development of high-performance, low-cost catalysts with long-term durability are crucial for hydrogen generation from water electrolysis. Interfacial engineering is an appealing strategy to boost the catalytic performance of electrode materials toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we report a simple phosphidation followed by sulfidation treatment to construct heterogeneous cobalt phosphide-cobalt sulfide nanowire arrays on carbon cloth (CoP/CoS2/CC). When evaluated as catalysts toward the HER, the resultant CoP/CoS2/CC exhibits efficient pH-universal hydrogen production due to the heterostructure, synergistic contribution of CoP and CoS2, and conductive substrate. To attain a current density of 10 mA cm-2, overpotentials of only 111.2, 58.1, and 182.9 mV for CoP/CoS2/CC are required under alkaline, acidic, and neutral conditions, respectively. In particular, the as-prepared CoP/CoS2/CC shows markedly improved HER electroactivity in 1.0 M KOH, even outperforming commercial Pt-C/CC at a current density of >50 mA cm-2. In addition, the self-assembled CoP/CoS2||NiFe layered double hydroxide electrolyzer demonstrates efficient catalytic performance and long-time stability, excelling the benchmark Pt-C||IrO2. These findings indicate an effective pathway for the fabrication of high-performance heterogeneous electrocatalysts for hydrogen production in the future.

Abstract
The investigation of high-efficiency and sustainable electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media is critical for renewable energy technologies. Here, we report a low-cost and high-yield method to obtain ZnOHF-ZnO-based 2D nanostars (NSs) by means of chemical bath deposition (CBD). The obtained NSs, cast onto graphene paper substrates, were used as active materials for the development of a full water splitting cell. For the HER, NSs were decorated with an ultralow amount of Pt nanoparticles (11.2 μg cm-2), demonstrating an overpotential of 181 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The intrinsic activity of Pt was optimized, thanks to the ZnO supporting nanostructures, as outlined by the mass activity of Pt (0.9 mA mgPt-1) and its turnover frequency (0.27 s-1 for a Pt loading of 11.2 μg cm-2). For the OER, bare NSs showed a remarkable result of 355 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline media. Pt-decorated and bare NSs were used as the cathode and anode, respectively, for alkaline electrochemical water splitting, assessing a stable overpotential of 1.7 V at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The reported data pave the way toward large-scale production of low-cost electrocatalysts for green hydrogen production.

Abstract
Metallenes exhibit great potential for catalytic reaction, particularly for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and biomass oxidation reaction, due to their favorable electronic configurations, ultrahigh specific surface areas, and highly accessible surface atoms. Therefore, metallenes can function as bifunctional electrocatalysts to boost the energy-saving biomass-oxidation-assisted HER, and have attracted great interest. Given the growing importance of green hydrogen as an alternative energy source in recent years, it is timely and imperative to summarize the recent progress and current status of metallene-based catalysts for the biomass-oxidation-assisted HER. Here, we review the recent advances in metallenes in terms of composition and structural regulations including alloying, nonmetal doping, defect engineering, surface functionalization, and heterostructure engineering strategies and their applications in driving electrocatalytic HER, with special focus on biomass-oxidation-assisted hydrogen production. The underlying structure-activity relationship and mechanisms are also comprehensively discussed. Finally, we also propose the challenges and future directions of metallene-based catalysts for the applications in biomass-oxidation-assisted HER.

Abstract
Hydrogen energy is regarded as the ultimate energy source for future human society, and the preparation of hydrogen from water electrolysis is recognized as the most ideal way. One of the key factors to achieve large-scale hydrogen production by water splitting is the availability of highly active and stable electrocatalysts. Although non-precious metal electrocatalysts have made great strides in recent years, the best hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts are still based on noble metals. Therefore, it is particularly important to improve the overall activity of the electrocatalysts while reducing the noble metals load. Alloying strategies can shoulder the burden of optimizing electrocatalysts cost and improving electrocatalysts performance. With this in mind, recent work on the application of noble metal-based alloy electrocatalysts in the field of hydrogen production from water electrolysis is summarized. In this review, first, the mechanism of HER is described; then, the current development of synthesis methods for alloy electrocatalysts is presented; finally, an example analysis of practical application studies on alloy electrocatalysts in hydrogen production is presented. In addition, at the end of this review, the prospects, opportunities, and challenges facing noble metal-based alloy electrocatalysts are tried to discuss.

Abstract
Rational design of efficient and stable electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has attracted wide attention. Noble metal-based electrocatalysts with ultrathin structures and highly exposed active surfaces are essential to boost the HER performance, while the simple synthetic strategies remain challenging. Herein, we reported a facile urea-mediated method to synthesize hierarchical ultrathin Rh nanosheets (Rh NSs) without using toxic reducing agents and structure directing agents in the reaction. The hierarchical ultrathin nanosheet structure and grain boundary atoms endow Rh NSs with excellent HER activities, which only requires a lower overpotential of 39 mV in 0.5 M H2SO4 compared to the 80 mV of Rh nanoparticles (Rh NPs). Extending the synthesis method to alloys, hierarchical ultrathin RhNi nanosheets (RhNi NSs) can be also obtained. Benefiting from the optimization of electronic structure and abundant active surfaces, RhNi NSs only require an overpotential of 27 mV. This work provides a simple and promising method to construct ultrathin nanosheet electrocatalysts for highly active electrocatalytic performance.

Abstract
The major center of attraction in renewable energy technology is the designing of an efficient material for both electrocatalytic and supercapacitor (SC) applications. Herein, we report the simple hydrothermal method to synthesize cobalt-iron-based nanocomposites followed by sulfurization and phosphorization. The crystallinity of nanocomposites has been confirmed using X-ray diffraction, where crystalline nature improves from as-prepared to sulfurized to phosphorized. The as-synthesized CoFe-nanocomposite requires 263 mV overpotential for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to reach a current density of 10 mA/cm2 whereas the phosphorized requires 240 mV to reach 10 mA/cm2. The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) for CoFe-nanocomposite exhibits 208 mV overpotential at 10 mA/cm2. Moreover, the results improved after phosphorization showing 186 mV to reach 10 mA/cm2. The specific capacitance (Csp) of as-synthesized nanocomposite is 120 F/g at 1 A/g, along with a power density of 3752 W/kg and a maximum energy density of 4.3 Wh/kg. Furthermore, the phosphorized nanocomposite shows the best performance by exhibiting 252 F/g at 1 A/g and the highest power and energy density of 4.2 kW/kg and 10.1 Wh/kg. This shows that the results get improved more than twice. The 97% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles shows cyclic stability of phosphorized CoFe. Our research thus offers cost-effective and highly efficient material for energy production and storage applications.

As a member of graphene analogs, metallenes are a class of two-dimensional materials with atomic thickness and well-controlled surface atomic arrangement made of metals or alloys. When utilized as catalysts, metallenes exhibit distinctive physicochemical properties endowed from the under-coordinated metal atoms on the surface, making them highly competitive candidates for energy-related electrocatalysis and energy conversion systems. Significantly, their catalytic activity can be precisely tuned through the chemical modification of their surface and subsurface atoms for efficient catalyst engineering. This minireview summarizes the recent progress in the synthesis and characterization of metallenes, together with their use as electrocatalysts toward reactions for energy conversion. In the Synthesis section, we pay particular attention to the strategies designed to tune their exposed facets, composition, and surface strain, as well as the porosity/cavity, defects, and crystallinity on the surface. We then discuss the electrocatalytic properties of metallenes in terms of oxygen reduction, hydrogen evolution, alcohol and acid oxidation, carbon dioxide reduction, and nitrogen reduction reaction, with a small extension regarding photocatalysis. At the end, we offer perspectives on the challenges and opportunities with respect to the synthesis, characterization, modeling, and application of metallenes.

[PMID: 36770353 PMCID: PMC9921317 DOI: 10.3390/nano13030393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 01/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The role of solvents is crucial in catalyst preparation. With regard to catalysts prepared with activated carbon (AC) as the carrier, when water is used as a solvent it is difficult for the solution to infiltrate the AC. Because AC comprises a large number of C atoms and is a nonpolar material, it is more effective for the adsorption of nonpolar substances. Since the water and active ingredients are polar, they cannot easily infiltrate AC. In this study, the dispersion of the active component was significantly improved by optimizing the solvent, and the particle size of the active component was reduced from 33.08 nm to 15.30 nm. The specific surface area of the catalyst is significantly increased, by 10%, reaching 991.49 m2/g. Under the same reaction conditions, the conversion of acetic acid by the catalyst prepared with the mixed solvent was maintained at approximately 65%, which was 22% higher than that obtained using the catalyst prepared with water as the solvent.

Abstract
An unsustainable reliance on fossil fuels is the primary cause of the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions, which in turn lead to climate change. Green hydrogen (H2), which may be generated by electrolyzing water with renewable power sources, is a possible substitute for fossil fuels. On the other hand, the increasing intricacy of hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts that are presently being explored makes it more challenging to integrate catalytic theories, catalytic fabrication procedures, and characterization techniques. This review will initially present the thermodynamics, kinetics, and associated electrical and structural characteristics for HER electrocatalysts before highlighting design approaches for the electrocatalysts. Secondly, an in-depth discussion regarding the rational design, synthesis, mechanistic insight, and performance improvement of electrocatalysts is centered on both the intrinsic and extrinsic influences. Thirdly, the most recent technological advances in electrocatalytic water-splitting approaches are described. Finally, the difficulties and possibilities associated with generating extremely effective HER electrocatalysts for water-splitting applications are discussed.

Abstract
Active and durable electrocatalysts are very important for efficient and economically sustainable hydrogen generation via electrocatalytic water splitting. A bismuth-nickel (Bi-Ni) bimetal nanosheet with a mesoporous structure was prepared via a self-template electrochemical in situ process. The Bi-Ni catalyst required overpotentials of 56 mV and 183 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which were close to that of commercial Pt/C in 1.0 M KOH and 1.0 M PBS (pH 7.0), respectively. The electrocatalyst maintained a steady current density during 20 h electrolysis in 1.0 M KOH and 1.0 M PBS (pH 7.0). Density functional theory (DFT) indicated that the alloying effect could induce charge transfer from the Bi atom to Ni atom and thus modulate the d-band centre of Bi-Ni nanosheets, which could efficiently accelerate H* conversion and H2 desorption at the Ni active site. This promotes the HER kinetics. By adopting the Bi84.8Ni15.2 alloy as the cathode to establish a full-cell (IrO2∥Bi84.8Ni15.2) for water splitting in 1.0 M KOH, the required cell voltage was 1.53 V to drive 10 mA cm-2, which was lower than that of the IrO2∥Pt/C electrolyzer (1.64 V@10 mA cm-2).

Abstract
An RhFe bimetallene with Fe atoms doped into Rh host for efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), is constructed. When two doped Fe atoms occupy neighboring asymmetric spatial positions, their asymmetric exchange interaction drives electron hopping between the dxy orbital of a Fe atom and the dz 2 orbital of its neighboring Fe atom to push the d band center closer to the Fermi level as a result of electronic state reconstruction. The designed bimetallene with thickness of 0.77 nm (5 atomic layers), possesses excellent HER performance. The low overpotentials of 24.4 and 34.6 mV are achieved at the 10 and 100 mA cm-2 current densities in 1 m KOH solution, respectively. An ultra-low Tafel slope of 8.9 mV dec-1 shows that this kind of RhFe bimetallene is of an ultrafast kinetic process. This work provides a strategy for designing HER catalysts with double metal composites.

Abstract
Accelerating slow water dissociation kinetics is key to boosting the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media. We report the synthesis of atomically dispersed MoOx species anchored on Rh metallene using a one-pot solvothermal method. The resulting structures expose the oxide-metal interfaces to the maximum extent. This leads to a MoOx -Rh catalyst with ultrahigh alkaline HER activity. We obtained a mass activity of 2.32 A mgRh -1 at an overpotential of 50 mV, which is 11.8 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C and surpasses the previously reported Rh-based electrocatalysts. First-principles calculations demonstrate that the interface between MoOx and Rh is the active center for alkaline HER. The MoOx sites preferentially adsorb and dissociate water molecules, and adjacent Rh sites adsorb the generated atomic hydrogen for efficient H2 evolution. Our findings illustrate the potential of atomic interface engineering strategies in electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Tailoring the morphology and crystal structure of metallene is critical to improve its electrocatalytic performance. In this work, hetero-phase RhB metallene (h-RhB metallene) with amorphous/crystalline structure is readily prepared by a two-step method. The h-RhB metallene is very unique in its non-metallic heteroatom doping and amorphous/crystalline structure. Benefiting from the unique metallene structure and the optimized electronic states induced by the incorporation of B atoms, the h-RhB metallene exhibits superior performance for hydrogen evolution reaction and hydrogen peroxide electro-oxidation reaction (HPOR). When coupled with HPOR, the h-RhB metallene||h-RhB metallene water electrolysis two-electrode system exhibits a lower cell voltage of 0.379 V (@ 10 mA cm-2 ) compared with the overall water splitting (1.35 V). The presented synthetic method provides a powerful strategy to design metallene with hetero-phase for energy-saving H2 production.

The excessive dependence on fossil fuels contributes to the majority of CO2 emissions, influencing on the climate change. One promising alternative to fossil fuels is green hydrogen, which can be produced through water electrolysis from renewable electricity. However, the variety and complexity of hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts currently studied increases the difficulty in the integration of catalytic theory, catalyst design and preparation, and characterization methods. Herein, this review first highlights design principles for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts, presenting the thermodynamics, kinetics, and related electronic and structural descriptors for HER. Second, the reasonable design, preparation, mechanistic understanding, and performance enhancement of electrocatalysts are deeply discussed based on intrinsic and extrinsic effects. Third, recent advancements in the electrocatalytic water splitting technology are further discussed briefly. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of the development of highly efficient hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts for water splitting are proposed.

Abstract
The design of defects and porous structures into metallene with functional surfaces is highly desired to improve its permeability, surface area, and active sites, but remains a great challenge. In this work, polyallylamine-encapsulated Ir metallene with defects and porous structure (Ir@PAH metallene) is easily fabricated by a one-step wet chemical reduction method. The Ir@PAH metallene exhibits excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance with an overpotential of only 14 mV at 10 mA cm-2 , a low Tafel slope of 31.2 mV dec-1 , and almost no activity decay after stability test. The abundant defects and pores as well as several-atomic-layer nanosheet structures of Ir@PAH metallene provide a large specific surface area, high conductivity, and efficient mass transport/diffusion. In addition, surface-functionalized PAH molecules can modulate the electronic structure through strong Ir-N interaction and act as proton carriers to capture hydrogen ions, which is very beneficial for the HER in acidic media. This work provides a useful strategy for the synthesis of the defective and porous metallene with functionalized surfaces for various catalytic applications.

Abstract
For heterogeneous catalysts, the active sites exposed on the surface have been investigated intensively, yet the effect of the subsurface-underlying atoms is much less scrutinized. Here, a surface-engineering strategy to dope Ru into the subsurface/surface of Co matrix is reported, which alters the electronic structure and lattice strain of the catalyst surface. Using hydrogen evolution (HER) as a model reaction, it is found that the subsurface doping Ru can optimize the hydrogen adsorption energy and improve the catalytic performance, with overpotentials of 28 and 45 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline and acidic media, respectively, and in particular, 28 mV in neutral electrolyte. The experimental results and theoretical calculations indicate that the subsurface/surface doping Ru improves the HER efficiency in terms of both thermodynamics and kinetics. The approach here stands as an effective strategy for catalyst design via subsurface engineering at the atomic level.

Abstract
Tailorable electron distribution of the active sites is widely regarded as the key issue to boost the catalytic activity and provide mechanistic insights into the structure-property-performance relationship. Here, a selective metal atom in situ growth strategy to construct highly active interface of mixed metal atom with different Nby RhOx species on sp-/sp2 -cohybridized graphdiyne (Nby RhOx /GDY) is reported. With this innovative idea implemented, experimental results show that the asymmetric electron distribution and the variation of coordination environment of bimetallic species significantly improve the electrocatalytic activity of Nby RhOx /GDY. Optimal hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity is achieved at the Nb/Rh ratio of 0.23, exhibiting excellent HER activity with the small overpotentials of 14 and 10 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline and neutral electrolytes. The data show the strong potential for real-system application of such catalysts, which outperform commercial Pt/C (20 wt%). These results shown in this study represent a platform for designing novel catalytic materials by selectively introducing metal atoms on different supports, which can be used as a general method extended to other catalytic systems.

Abstract
Developing high-performance catalysts for water splitting via renewable electricity is of great significance for the clean production of hydrogen. This work reports rational design and controllable fabrication of metal oxide hybrid catalyst CoNiFe2O5·2CuO with unique biphasic microstructures for electrochemical water splitting. Benefited from the presence of CuO nanoparticles as the second phase, more defects and active sites were formed around the interfaces of CoNiFe2O5 and CuO, which led to excellent performances for electrocatalytic water splitting. In particular, the catalyst exhibited outstanding activity for hydrogen evolution reaction with a small overpotential of 30 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and showed a higher turnover frequency (0.3 s-1) than commercial catalyst Pt/C (0.1 s-1) under an overpotential of 50 mV. Moreover, it also displayed good activity for oxygen evolution reaction with an overpotential of 264 mV at 10 mA cm-2. Using CoNiFe2O5·2CuO as the catalyst for electrode pair to construct a cell, a very low cell voltage of 1.53 V is enough to achieve overall water splitting at 10 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH electrolyte, and the cell could maintain the stable performance at 10 mA cm-2 within 100 h. The as-prepared metal oxide hybrids with biphasic microstructures may have promising application potentials in water splitting.

Abstract
There is no doubt that hydrogen energy can play significant role in promoting the development and progress of modern society. The utilization of hydrogen energy has developed rapidly, but it is far from the requirement of human. Therefore, it is very urgent to develop methodologies and technologies for efficient hydrogen production, especially high activity and durable electrocatalysts. Here a bimetallic oxide cluster on heterostructure of vanadium ruthenium oxides/graphdiyne (VRuOx /GDY) is reported. The unique acetylene-rich structure of graphdiyne achieves outstanding characteristics of electrocatalyst: i) controlled preparation of catalysts for achieving multiple-metal clusters; ii) regulation of catalyst composition and morphology for synthesizing high-performance catalysts; iii) highly active and durable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) properties. The optimal porous electrocatalyst (VRu0.027 Ox /GDY) can deliver 10 mA cm-2 at low overpotentials of 13 and 12 mV together with robust long-term stability in alkaline and neutral media, respectively, which are much smaller than Pt/C. The results reveal that the synergism of different components can efficiently facilitate the electron/mass transport properties, reduce the energy barrier, and increase the active site number for high catalytic performances.

Abstract
The "FeMo cofactors" in biological nitrogenase play a decisive role in nitrogen reduction. Herein, a novel bionic Fe/Mo bimetallene was applied in photocatalytic nitrogen reduction. The surface coating Fe/Mo bimetallene of Bi2Mo0.3W0.7O6 (BMWO) nanocrystals could effectively promote the separation and transportation of photogenerated carriers by multi-electron redox reactions and deliver 2.8 times longer photo-carrier lifetime. Consequently, the nitrogen fixation activity of Fe/Mo bimetallene-coated BMWO nanocrystal photocatalyst was obviously enhanced (218.93 μmol g-1h-1), which was about 4.8 times that of unmodified BMWO nanocrystals. This work provides a novel approach to design bionic Fe/Mo bimetallene-modified inorganic semiconductor photocatalysts for nitrogen reduction.
