Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a complex four-electron transfer process that poses a significant challenge to the efficient production of hydrogen through water splitting. However, developing non-noble metal electrocatalyst with excellent OER performance is still a big challenge. Herein, we propose a new strategy for the in-situ growth of two-dimensional amorphous/crystalline thiophene-based Ni-Fe metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using Ni-Fe foam (NFF) as metal source and current collector, and thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (TDC) as corrosion agent and ligand. TDC was ionized at high temperature to produce H+ ions that etch NFF to release Ni2+ and Fe2+ ions, which were coordinated with TDC to in situ synthesize two-dimensional Ni-Fe thiophenedicarboxylate coordination polymer (NiFe-TDC) nanobelts on NFF. The unique structure and synergistic effect of Ni and Fe ions of NiFe-TDC0.05 result in the excellent OER performance with an overpotential of 224 and 256 mV at current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm-2, respectively, and it can run stably for 100 h at a current density of 100 mA cm-2, indicating the outstanding stability. Furthermore, NiFe-TDC0.05 remains the excellent OER performance with an extremely low potential of 196 and 271 mV at current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm-2 in seawater with 1 mol L-1 (M) KOH, respectively. The assembled NiFe-TDC0.05 || Pt/C water electrolysis cell achieves a current density of 100 mA cm-2 at a low voltage of 1.78 V. The work provides a new method to prepare two dimensional MOFs for efficient water oxidation.

Abstract
The current collector serves as a crucial element in supercapacitors, acting as a medium between the electrode material and the substrate. Due to its excellent conductivity, a metal collector is typically favored. Enhancing the binding strength between the collector and the substrate as well as between the collector and the electrode material has emerged as a critical factor for enhancing the capacitance performance. In this study, a Ag film with a grass root-like structure was initially grown on a PI substrate through the surface modification and ion exchange (SMIE) process. This Ag interlocking structure contributes to strong binding between the PI substrate and Ag without compromising the mechanical properties of the Ag film. To further enhance the electrochemical properties at low scan rates, electroless-plated Cu was subsequently deposited on the Ag film to form the Cu/Ag current collector. Moreover, the Cu within the Cu/Ag current collector served as a precursor for the growth of FeOOH-Cu(OH)2 via a two-step in situ method. The resulting FeOOH-Cu(OH)2/Cu/Ag structure as a whole is binder-free. Supercapacitors employing symmetric FeOOH-Cu(OH)2/Cu/Ag structures were assembled, and their energy storage properties were investigated. The solution-based low-temperature process used in this study offers the potential for cost-effective and large-scale applications.

Abstract
Coupling urea oxidation reaction (UOR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is promising for energy-efficient hydrogen production. However, developing cheap and highly active bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall urea electrolysis remains challenging. In this work, a metastable Cu0.5 Ni0.5 alloy is synthesized by a one-step electrodeposition method. It only requires the potentials of 1.33 and -28 mV to obtain the current density of ±10 mA cm-2 for UOR and HER, respectively. The metastable alloy is considered to be the main reason causing the above excellent performances. In the alkaline medium, the as-prepared Cu0.5 Ni0.5 alloy exhibits good stability for HER; and conversely, NiOOH species can be rapidly formed during the UOR due to the phase segregation of Cu0.5 Ni0.5 alloy. In particular, for the energy-saving hydrogen generation system coupled with HER and UOR, only 1.38 V of voltage is needed at 10 mA cm-2 ; and at 100 mA cm-2 , the voltage decreases by ≈305 mV compared with that of the routine water electrolysis system (HER || OER). Compared with some catalysts reported recently, the Cu0.5 Ni0.5 catalyst owns superior electrocatalytic activity and durability. Furthermore, this work provides a simple, mild, and rapid method for designing highly active bifunctional electrocatalysts toward urea-supporting overall water splitting.

Abstract
Metal sulfide electrocatalyst is developed as a cost-effective and promising candidate for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this work, we report a novel Mo-doped Cu2S self-supported electrocatalyst grown in situ on three-dimensional copper foam via a facile sulfurization treatment method. Interestingly, Mo-Cu2S nanosheet structure increases the electrochemically active area, and the large fleecy multilayer flower structure assembled by small nanosheet facilitates the flow of electrolyte in and out. More broadly, the introduction of Mo can adjust the electronic structure, significantly increase the volmer step rate, and accelerate the reaction kinetics. As compared to the pure Cu2S self-supported electrocatalyst, the Mo-Cu2S/CF show much better alkaline HER performance with lower overpotential (18 mV at 10 mA cm−2, 322 mV at 100 mA cm−2) and long-term durability. Our work constructs a novel copper based in-situ metal sulfide electrocatalysts and provides a new idea to adjust the morphology and electronic structure by doping for promoting HER performance.

Abstract
By annealing an Fe(III)-coordination compound (Fe-CC), [FeCl3(Hbta)2] (Hbta = benzotriazole) in the presence of a carbon nanotube precursor (PCNT) template, an Fe4N/Fe3N/Fe/CNT heterostructure was successfully synthesized without an extra nitrogen source. The decomposition of the Hbta in Fe-CC under high-temperature annealing can produce carbon sheets and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and the presence of CNTs can alleviate the stacking of thein situ-generated carbon materials. Meanwhile, iron nitride nanoparticles (NPs) can be anchored on the carbon sheets, and the anchoring effect efficiently prevents the agglomeration of NPs and increases the amount of active catalytic sites for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Fe4N/Fe3N/Fe/CNT shows an excellent OER activity with a Tafel slope of 63 mV dec-1as well as overpotentials of 121 (η10) and 275 mV (η100) at 10 and 100 mA cm-2, respectively - far exceeding commercial RuO2and other catalysts. Density functional theory calculations show that the excellent OER performance of Fe4N/Fe3N/Fe/CNT is associated with the Fe4N/Fe3N heterojunction, which can improve the electron conductivity and boost the electron transfer from N to Fe. The Fe4N/Fe3N/Fe/CNT catalyst exhibits long-term OER activity during 100 h of electrolysis at 20 mA cm-2. This is related to the dual coatings of thein situ-generated thin carbon shell and few-layered rGO on the surface of the iron nitride NPs, which can protect the fast leaching of iron nitride during the OER process. Furthermore, the effects of the annealing temperature, the PCNT template and the heating rate on the calcined products were investigated.

Abstract
Nitrite (NO2-) is a detrimental pollutant widely existing in groundwater sources, threatening public health. Electrocatalytic NO2- reduction settles the demand for removal of NO2- and is also promising for generating ammonia (NH3) at room temperature. A nanotube array directly grown on a current collector not only has a large surface area, but also exhibits improved structural stability and accelerated electron transport. Herein, a self-standing FeOOH nanotube array on carbon cloth (FeOOH NTA/CC) is proposed as a highly active electrocatalyst for NO2--to-NH3 conversion. As a 3D catalyst, the FeOOH NTA/CC is able to attain a surprising faradaic efficiency of 94.7% and a large NH3 yield of 11937 μg h-1 cm-2 in 0.1 M PBS (pH = 7.0) with 0.1 M NO2-. Furthermore, this catalyst also displays excellent durability in cyclic and long-term electrolysis tests.

Abstract
The ease of production of materials and showing multiple applications are appealing in this modern era of advanced technology. This paper reports the synthesis of a pair of novel cobalt-iron chalcogenides [Co0.8Fe0.2S2 and Co0.8Fe0.2Se2] with enhanced electro catalytic activities. These ternary metal chalcogenides were synthesized by a one-step template-free approach via a hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS)-assisted synthetic method. Transient photocurrent (TPC) studies and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) of these materials showed free electron mobility. Their bifunctional activities were verified in both the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and in the electrochemical reduction of toxic inorganic heavy metal ions [Cr(vi)] in polluted water. The materials showed robust catalytic ability in the oxygen evolution reaction with minimum possible over potential (345 and 350 mV @ η10) as determined by linear sweep voltammetry and the lower Tafel values (52.4 and 84.5 mV dec-1) for Co0.8Fe0.2Se2 and Co0.8Fe0.2S2 respectively. Surprisingly, both the materials also showed an excellent activity towards electrochemical Cr(vi) reduction to Cr(iii). Besides the maximum current achieved for Co0.8Fe0.2S2, a minimum value for the Limit of detection (LOD) was obtained for Co0.8Fe0.2S2 (0.159 μg L-1) compared to Co0.8Fe0.2Se2 (0.196 μg L-1). We tested the durability of catalysts, the critical factor for the prolonged use of catalysts, through the recyclability measurements of these materials as catalysts. Both the catalysts presented outstanding durability and balanced electro catalytic activities for up to 1500 CV cycles, and chronoamperometry studies also confirmed exceptional stability. The enhanced catalytic activities of these materials are ascribed to the free electron movement, evidenced by the increased TPC measured and EIS. Therefore, the template-free synthesis of these electro catalysts containing non-noble metal illustrates the practical approach to develop such types of catalysts for multiple functions.

Abstract
Surface reconstruction of non-oxide oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts has been intensively studied to improve their catalytic performances. However, further modification of the reconstructed active surfaces for better catalytic performances has not been reported. In this work, NiSe nanorods are prepared on nickel foam (NiSe@NF) as the pre-catalyst for electrochemical OER. It is revealed that non-stoichiometric NiO nanosheets with abundant Ni vacancies (NixO) are formed on the surfaces of NiSe nanorods (NixO/NiSe@NF) via in-situ electrochemical oxidation. Furthermore, the OER performances are obviously improved after heteroatom Fe is incorporated electrochemically into NixO nanosheets ((FeNi)O/NiSe@NF). For OER to have a current density of 20 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH solution, the as-prepared (FeNi)O/NiSe@NF electrode only needs an overpotential of 268 mV. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the formation of Ni vacancy can increase the free energy of *OH. More importantly, the incorporation of heteroatom Fe into Ni vacancy can significantly decrease the free energy of *O, which enables Fe-NiO to have the lowest theoretical overpotential for OER in this work. The present work provides a facile and universal strategy to modify the reconstructed active oxides' surfaces for higher electrocatalytic performances.

Abstract
The melting behaviour of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has aroused significant research interest in the areas of materials science, condensed matter physics and chemical engineering. This work first introduces a novel method to fabricate a bimetallic MOF glass, through melt-quenching of the cobalt-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) [ZIF-62(Co)] with an adsorbed ferric coordination complex. The high-temperature chemically reactive ZIF-62(Co) liquid facilitates the formation of coordinative bonds between Fe and imidazolate ligands, incorporating Fe nodes into the framework after quenching. The resultant Co-Fe bimetallic MOF glass therefore shows a significantly enhanced oxygen evolution reaction performance. The novel bimetallic MOF glass, when combined with the facile and scalable mechanochemical synthesis technique for both discrete powders and surface coatings on flexible substrates, enables significant opportunities for catalytic device assembly.

Abstract
Closing the material cycle for harmful and rare resources is a key criterion for sustainable and green energy systems. The concept of using scalable biomass-derived carbon electrodes to produce hydrogen from water was proposed here, satisfying the need for sustainability in the field of chemical energy conversion. The carbon electrodes exhibited not only water oxidation activity but also a strong self-oxidation when being used as anode for water splitting. The carbon oxidation, which is more energy-favorable, was intentionally allowed to occur for an improvement of the total current, thus enhancing the hydrogen production on the cathode side. By introducing different earth-abundant metals, the electrode could be well adjusted to achieve an optimized water/carbon oxidation ratio and an appreciable reactivity for practical applications. This promising methodology may become a very large driver for carbon chemistry when waste organic materials or biomass can be converted using its intrinsic energy content of carbon. Such a process could open a safe path for sub-zero CO2 emission control. The concept of how and which parameter of a carbon-based electrode can be optimized was presented and discussed in this paper.

Abstract
The catalytic activity of 3d-transition-metal-based electrocatalysts has exhibited considerable enhancements in electrocatalytic water splitting via pioneering modulations in the active sites. To overcome the energy loss because of the mechanic steps involved in a complex oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the electrode surface with only a few layers would be an advantage over multilayers for the ease of the electrolyte interaction and gas evolution. Here, for the first time, thin films of CoS2 are prepared on a carbon cloth via a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique via layer-by-layer deposition of Ni that tend to give Ni-CoS2 thin films. Based on varying the ablation of metallic Ni followed by CoS2 as a layer-by-layer assembly using PLD, three catalysts, namely, Ni5-CoS2, Ni10-CoS2, and Ni15-CoS2, were prepared. In OER, to achieve a benchmarking current density of 10 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH, Ni10-CoS2 required a lesser overpotential of 304 mV, whereas others, namely, Ni5-CoS2, Ni15-CoS2, and CoS2, required overpotentials of 328, 336, and 373 mV, respectively, to attain the same current density. The charge transfer kinetics associated with all of the catalysts were analyzed, and the corresponding Tafel slope values for Ni5-CoS2 and Ni10-CoS2 were 75 and 98 mV/dec, respectively, ensuring the facile transfer of electrons at the interface. The assistance of metallic Ni sites also ensured stability for long-term applications. These findings will give a way for other earth-abundant catalysts for the increased electrocatalytic activity toward energy needs in future.

Abstract
Developing state-of-the-art non-noble metal catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction holds a key to the production of electrolytic hydrogen. Herein, self-supported hierarchical NiFe LDH/VO(OH)2 nanoflowers/nanosheets grown on a Ni foam have been synthesized via a two-step hydrothermal method. Numerous fine VO(OH)2 nanosheets grown on NiFe LDH nanoflowers enlarge the contact area for the electrolyte penetration and facilitate ion diffusion, while the three-dimensional structure of the material also provides an extensive active surface area and plentiful accessible active sites. Moreover, the strong synergistic interaction between VO(OH)2 and NiFe LDHs subtly modulates the electronic environment, accelerating the electron/charge transfer. As a result, the catalyst exhibits excellent electrochemical performance for OER giving a voltage of 1.51 V to achieve the current density of 100 mA cm-2 and possessed a Tafel slope of 65 mV dec-1 in 1.0 M KOH. In addition, the material exhibited remarkable long-term durability and stability during the 40 h measurement. This investigation provides a promising strategy for rationally designing high-efficiency metal electrocatalysts with hierarchical multi-dimensional nanostructures for OER.

Abstract
Substrate-supported metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) films are desired to realize their potential in practical applications. Herein, a novel substrate-seeding secondary-growth strategy is developed to prepare composites of uniform MOFs films on aerogel walls. Briefly, the organic ligand is "pre-seeded" onto the aerogel walls, and then a small amount of metal-ion solution is sprayed onto the prepared aerogel. The sprayed solution diffuses along the aerogel walls to form a continuous thin layer, which confines the nucleation reaction, promoting the formation of uniform MOFs films on the aerogel walls. The whole process is simple in operation, highly efficient, and eco-friendly. The resulting hierarchical MOFs/aerogel composites have abundant accessible active sites and enable excellent mass transfer, which endows the composite with outstanding catalytic activity and stability in both liquid-phase CO2 cycloaddition and electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process.

Abstract
Interface engineering has proven an effective strategy for designing high-performance water-oxidation catalysts. Interface construction combining the respective advantages of amorphous and crystalline phases, especially embedding amorphous phases in crystalline lattices, has been the focus of intensive research. This study concerns the construction of an amorphous-crystalline FeOOH phase boundary (a-c-FeOOH) by structural evolution of iron oxyhydroxide-isolated Fe(OH)3 precursors from one-step hydrothermal synthesis. a-c-FeOOH demonstrates superb electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with overpotential of 330 mV to drive a current density of 300 mA cm-2 in 1.0 m KOH, which is among the best OER catalysts and much better than the pristine amorphous or crystalline FeOOH alone. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the high-density a-c phase boundaries play a critical role in determining high OER activity.

Abstract
The development of highly active and efficient nonprecious-metal electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction is important for the design of renewable energy production and storage devices. In this work, highly dense, ultrathin Co-Ni boride nanoflakes supported on a 3 D CoNi skeleton are fabricated in situ by a simple one-step, high-temperature, solid-state boronation process. As a result of the induced high electroactive surface area and low charge transfer resistance, CoNiB-700 exhibits high catalytic activity at an overpotential of 262 (η10 ) and 284 mV (η20 ) to deliver current densities of 10 and 20 mA cm-2 , respectively, with a Tafel slope of 58 mV dec-1 in an alkaline medium towards the oxygen evolution reaction. DFT calculations show that the Ni-regulated Co-B compound has a lower rate-determining energy barrier for the *OOH intermediate than the mono-Co-B compound, which facilitates the production of more active catalytic sites for an accelerated surface charge-transfer process for the oxygen evolution reaction.

Abstract
Two-dimensional metal sulfides and their hybrids are emerging as promising candidates in various areas. Yet, it remains challenging to synthesize high-quality 2D metal sulfides and their hybrids, especially iso-component hybrids, in a simple and controllable way. In this work, a low-temperature selective solid-liquid sulfidation growth method has been developed for the synthesis of CuS nanoflakes and their hybrids. CuS nanoflakes of about 20 nm thickness and co-component hybrids CuOx /CuS with variable composition ratios derived from different sulfidation time are obtained after the residual sulfur removal. Besides, benefiting from the mild low-temperature sulfidation conditions, selective sulfidation is realized between Cu and Fe to yield iso-component FeOx /CuS 2D nanoflakes of about 10-20 nm thickness, whose composition ratio is readily tunable by controlling the precursor. The as-synthesized FeOx /CuS nanoflakes demonstrate superior lithium storage performance (i. e., 707 mAh g-1 at 500 mA g-1 and 627 mAh g-1 at 1000 mA g-1 after 450 cycles) when tested as anode materials in LIBs owing to the advantages of the ultrathin 2D nanostructure as well as the lithiation volumetric strain self-reconstruction effect of the co-existing two phases during charging/discharging processes.

Abstract
Water splitting has attracted more and more attention as a promising strategy for the production of clean hydrogen fuel. In this work, a new synthesis strategy was proposed, and Co0.85 Se was synthesized on nickel foam as the main matrix. The doping of appropriate Cr amount into the target of Co0.85 Se and the Cr-Co0.85 Se resulted in an excellent electrochemical performance. The doping of Cr introduces Cr3+ ions which substitute Co2+ and Co3+ ions in Co0.85 Se, so that the lattice parameters of the main matrix were changed. It is worth noting that the Cr0.15-Co0.85 Se/NF material exhibits an excellent performance in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) test. When the current density reaches 50 mA cm-2 for OER, the overpotential is only 240 mV. For the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) tests, the overpotential is only 117 mV to drive 10 mA cm-2 of current density. Moreover, when the Cr0.15-Co0.85 Se/NF material is used as a two-electrode device for whole water splitting, the required cell voltage is only 1.43 V to reach a current density of 10 mA cm-2 , which is among the lowest values of the published catalysts up to now. In addition, the Cr0.15-Co0.85 Se/NF catalyst also exhibits excellent stability during a long period of water splitting. The experimental result demonstrates that the change of the lattice structure has an obvious influence on the electrocatalytic activity of the material. When an external electric field is applied, it facilitates the rapid electron transfer rate and enhances the electrocatalytic performance and stability of the material.

Abstract
Developing environmentally friendly and highly active water splitting catalysts would be of great significance for clean energy conversion and utilization processes. Heterogeneous CuCo2 S4 @Ni(OH)2 nanorod arrays with abundant oxygen vacancy firstly have been designed through a controllable hydrothermal and electrodeposition method. The synergies and open structures of the particular hierarchical structure together with the abundant oxygen vacancies offer more surface reactive centers, which can promote the electron transfer rate and reduce the activation energy of intermediate species. The CuCo2 S4 @Ni(OH)2 -20 min nanorod arrays are considered as an excellent and robust electrocatalyst for the proton reduction under an alkaline condition with an extraordinary low overpotential of 117 mV at 10 mA cm-2 . The CuCo2 S4 @Ni(OH)2 -20 min heterostructures electrode is also stable and robust for the water oxidation reaction, needing an overpotential of only 250 mV to obtain 100 mA cm-2 . Therefore, an alkaline electrolyzer was designed using CuCo2 S4 @Ni(OH)2 -20 min nanorod arrays as bifunctional electrocatalyst, which can complete overall water splitting at a cell voltage of 1.47 V with 10 mA cm-2 , suggesting a promising combination of the same material for efficient overall water splitting device. The cell voltage of 1.47 V, to our knowledge, is among the lowest values of the published support catalysts for electrocatalytic water splitting up to now.

Abstract
Implementing sustainable energy conversion and storage technologies is highly reliant on crucial oxygen electrocatalysis, such as the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the pursuit of low cost, energetic efficient and robust bifunctional catalysts for OER and ORR remains a great challenge. Herein, the novel Na-ion-deficient Na2-x CoP2 O7 catalysts are proposed to efficiently electrocatalyze OER and ORR in alkaline solution. The engineering of Na-ion deficiency can tune the electronic structure of Co, and thus tailor the intrinsically electrocatalytic performance. Among the sodium cobalt phosphate catalysts, the Na1.95 CoP2 O7 (NCPO5) catalyst exhibits the lowest ΔE (EJ10,OER -EJ-1,ORR ) of only 0.86 V, which favorably outperforms most of the reported non-noble metal catalysts. Moreover, the Na-ion deficiency can stabilize the phase structure and morphology of NCPO5 during the OER and ORR processes. This study highlights the Na-ion deficient Na2-x CoP2 O7 as a promising class of low-cost, highly active and robust bifunctional catalysts for OER and ORR.

Abstract
The modulation of electron density is an effective option for efficient alternative electrocatalysts. Here, p-n junctions are constructed in 3D free-standing FeNi-LDH/CoP/carbon cloth (CC) electrode (LDH=layered double hydroxide). The positively charged FeNi-LDH in the space-charge region can significantly boost oxygen evolution reaction. Therefore, the j at 1.485 V (vs. RHE) of FeNi-LDH/CoP/CC achieves ca. 10-fold and ca. 100-fold increases compared to those of FeNi-LDH/CC and CoP/CC, respectively. Density functional theory calculation reveals OH- has a stronger trend to adsorb on the surface of FeNi-LDH side in the p-n junction compared to individual FeNi-LDH further verifying the synergistic effect in the p-n junction. Additionally, it represents excellent activity toward water splitting. The utilization of heterojunctions would open up an entirely new possibility to purposefully regulate the electronic structure of active sites and promote their catalytic activities.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with sluggish kinetics is the key half-cell reaction for several sustainable energy systems, such as electrochemical water splitting, fuel cells, and rechargeable metal-air batteries. Two-dimensional transition-metal hydroxides have good prospects for the OER. Herein, 2D hierarchical FeLDH(FeCo)/Co(OH)2 (LDH=layered double hydroxide) arrays were fabricated by growing 2D-ZIF-67 (ZIF=zeolitic imidazolate framework) on carbon cloth, transformation of 2D-ZIF-67 into Co(OH)2 , and electrodeposition of FeLDH(FeCo) on Co(OH)2 at ambient temperature. The optimized hierarchical catalyst exhibits high OER activity that requires a small overpotential of only 242 mV to drive 10 mA cm-2 (279 mV for 100 mA cm-2 ) and prolonged durability for 100 h at 20 mA cm-2 in 1 m KOH. The FeLDH(FeCo)/Co(OH)2 interfaces are observed to be the electrocatalytically active centers for the OER. The interfaces contribute to accelerating the OER kinetics owing to fast transfer of intermediate oxygen species. Furthermore, the FeCo alloy promotes electron transfer among the newly formed interfaces related to CoOOH in the OER process, which leads to improved durability. This work gives insight into the design and synthesis of hierarchical bimetallic hydroxide arrays with high OER activity and durability, as well as understanding of the origin of the OER promotion by metals and metal hydroxides.

Abstract
Water splitting, in which water molecules can be transformed into hydrogen and oxygen, is an appealing energy conversion and transformation strategy to address the environmental and energy crisis. The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is dynamically slow, which limits energy conversion efficiency during the water-splitting process and requires high-efficiency water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) to overcome the OER energy barrier. It is generally accepted that multinuclear WOCs possess superior OER performances, as demonstrated by the CaMn4 O5 cluster in photosystem II (PSII), which can catalyze the OER efficiently with a very low overpotential. Inspired by the CaMn4 O5 cluster in PSII, some multinuclear WOCs were synthesized that could catalyze water oxidation. In addition, some mononuclear molecular WOCs also show high water oxidation activity. However, it cannot be excluded that the high activity arises from the formation of dimeric species. Recently, some mononuclear heterogeneous WOCs showed a high water oxidation activity, which testified that mononuclear active sites with suitable coordination surroundings could also catalyze water oxidation efficiently. This Review focuses on recent progress in the development of mono-/multinuclear homo- and heterogeneous catalysts for water oxidation. The active sites and possible catalytic mechanisms for water oxidation on the mono-/multinuclear WOCs are provided.

Abstract
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great significance for hydrogen production via water electrolysis, which, however, demands development of highly active, durable, and cost-effective electrocatalysts in order to stride into a renewable energy era. Herein, highly efficient and long-term durable OER by coupling B and P into an amorphous porous NiFe-based electrocatalyst is reported, which possesses an amorphous porous metallic bulk structure and high corrosion resistance, and overcomes the issues associated with currently used catalyst nanomaterials. The PB codoping in the activated NiFePB (a-NiFePB) delocalizes both Fe and Ni at Fermi energy level and enhances p-d hybridization as simulated by density functional theory calculations. The harmonized electronic structure and unique porous framework of the a-NiFePB consequently improve the OER activity. The activated NiFePB thus exhibits an extraordinarily low overpotential of 197 mV for harvesting 10 mA cm-2 OER current density and 233 mV for reaching 100 mA cm-2 under chronopotentiometry condition, with the Tafel slope harmoniously conforming to 34 mV dec-1 . Impressive long-term stability of this new catalyst is evidenced by only limited activity decay after 1400 h operation at 100 mA cm-2 . This work strategically directs a way for heading up a promising energy conversion alternative.

Abstract
Water electrolysis is a field growing rapidly to replace the limited fossil fuels for harvesting energy in future. In searching of non-noble and advanced electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), here we highlight a new and advanced catalyst, selenized Cu3Sn@Cu foam, with overwhelming activity for OER under both alkaline (1 M KOH) and near-neutral (1 M NaHCO3) conditions. The catalysts were prepared by a double hydrothermal treatment where Cu3Sn is first formed which further underwent for second hydrothermal condition for selenization. For comparison, Cu7Se4@Cu foam was prepared by a hydrothermal treatment under the same protocol. The as-formed Cu3Sn@Cu foam, selenized Cu3Sn@Cu foam, and Cu7Se4@Cu foam were utilized as electrocatalysts and showed their potentiality in terms of activity and stability. In 1 M KOH, for attaining the benchmarking current density of 50 mA cm-2, selenized Cu3Sn@Cu foam required a low overpotential of 384 mV and increased charge transfer kinetics with a lower Tafel slope value of 177 mV/dec comparing Cu3Sn@Cu foam, Cu7Se4@Cu foam, and pristine Cu foam. Furthermore, potentiostatic analysis (PSTAT) was carried out for 40 h for selenized Cu3Sn@Cu foam and with minimum degradation in activity assured the long-term application for hydrogen generation. Similarly, under neutral condition selenized Cu3Sn@Cu foam also delivered better activity trend at higher overpotentials in comparison with others. Therefore, the assistance of both Sn and Se in Cu foam ensured better activity and stability in comparison with only selenized Cu foam. With these possible outcomes, it can also be combined with other active, non-noble elements for enriched hydrogen generation in future.

Abstract
Electrocatalysts with engaging oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity with lesser overpotentials are highly desired to have increased cell efficiency. In this work, cobalt selenide catalysts were prepared utilizing both wet-chemical route (CoSe and CoSe-DNA) and hydrothermal route (Co0.85Se-hyd). In wet-chemical route, cobalt selenide is prepared with DNA (CoSe-DNA) and without DNA (CoSe). The morphological results in the wet-chemical route had given a clear picture that, with the assistance of DNA, cobalt selenide had formed as nanochains with particle size below 5 nm, while it agglomerated in the absence of DNA. The morphology was nano networks in the hydrothermally assisted synthesis. These catalysts were analyzed for OER activity in 1 M KOH. The overpotentials required at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 were 352, 382, and 383 mV for Co0.85Se-hyd, CoSe, and CoSe-DNA catalysts, respectively. The Tafel slope value was lowest for Co0.85Se-hyd (65 mV/dec) compared to CoSe-DNA (71 mV/dec) and CoSe (80 mV/dec). The chronoamperometry test was studied for 24 h at a potential of 394 mV for Co0.85Se-hyd and was found to be stable with a smaller decrease in activity. From the OER study, it is clear that Co0.85Se was found to be superior to others. This kind of related study can be useful to design the catalyst with increased efficiency by varying the method of preparation.
