Abstract
Despite the challenges associated with the synthesis of flexible metal-covalent organic frameworks (MCOFs), these offer the unique advantage of maximizing the atomic utilization efficiency. However, the construction of flexible MCOFs with flexible building units or linkages has rarely been reported. In this study, novel flexible MCOFs are constructed using flexible building blocks and copper clusters with hydrazone linkages. The heterometallic frameworks (Cu, Co) are prepared through the hydrazone linkage coordination method and evaluated as catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Owing to the spatial separation and functional cooperation of the heterometallic MCOF catalysts, the as-synthesized MCOFs exhibited outstanding catalytic activities with an overpotential of 268.8 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for the OER in 1 M KOH, which is superior to those of the reported covalent organic frameworks (COFs)-based OER catalysts. Theoretical calculations further elucidated the synergistic effect of heterometallic active sites within the linkages and frameworks, contributing to the enhanced OER activity. This study thus introduces a novel approach to the fundamental design of flexible MCOF catalysts for the OER, emphasizing their enhanced atomic utilization efficiency.

Abstract
Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of critical significance in the advancement of fuel cells and zinc-air batteries. The iron-nitrogen (Fe-Nx ) sites exhibited exceptional reactivity towards ORR. However, the task of designing and controlling the local structure of Fe species for high ORR activity and stability remains a challenge. Herein, we have achieved successful immobilization of Fe species onto the highly curved surface of S, N co-doped carbonaceous nanosprings (denoted as FeNS/Fe3 C@CNS). The induction of this twisted configuration within FeNS/Fe3 C@CNS arose from the assembly of chiral templates. For electrocatalytic ORR tests, FeNS/Fe3 C@CNS exhibits a half-wave potential (E1/2 ) of 0.91 V in alkaline medium and a E1/2 of 0.78 V in acidic medium. The Fe single atoms and Fe3 C nanoparticles are coexistent and play as active centers within FeNS/Fe3 C@CNS. The highly curved surface, coupled with S substitution in the coordination layer, served to reduce the energy barrier for ORR, thereby enhancing the intrinsic catalytic activity of the Fe single-atom sites. We also assembled a wearable flexible Zn-air battery using FeNS/Fe3 C@CNS as electrocatalysts. This work provides new insights into the construction of highly curved surfaces within carbon materials, offering high electrocatalytic efficacy and remarkable performance for flexible energy conversion devices.

Abstract
Exploring electrocatalysts with high-efficiency oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is significant for practical applications of fuel cells and metal-air batteries. In this work, a twisted core@shell material has been prepared with helical polypyrrole nanotubes (HPPys) as the core and coordination polymers (CPs) as the shell. After the pyrolysis process, a dense twisted carbon layer was formed by the reaction of CP and HPPy at its interface under Ar. The derived twisted carbonaceous nanotube exhibits good performance in both electrocatalytic ORR and OER. When used as the air-electrode in a flexible Zn-air battery, the battery shows good performance and stability.

Abstract
Platinum-based (Pt) catalysts are the most common commercial catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). Unfortunately, their high price, scarcity and poor durability hinder their further development. Therefore, the development of effective and economical ORR electrocatalysts has received increasing attention. Here, carbon dots (CDs) enriched in amino functional groups were successfully loaded onto carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a large surface area and helical structure through a surface state engineering strategy. The resulting composites (CD/CNTs) are 0D/1D nano heterojunction structures. The CD/CNTs showed superior ORR activity compared with CNTs and CDs (Eoneset = 0.95 V, E1/2 = 0.81 V and limiting current density = 4.74 mA cm-2). In addition, the stability of CD/CNTs in an alkaline medium was up to 30000 s. The excellent ORR performance of CD/CNTs can be attributed to the dominant role of amino-N, the synergistic effect of heterojunctions formed by CDs and CNTs, and the high Lewis basicity. The composite electrocatalyst synthesized by the CD-regulated CNT strategy is expected to be a reliable cathode candidate for future energy conversion devices.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic nitrite (NO2-) reduction to ammonia (NH3) can not only synthesize value-added NH3, but also remove NO2- pollutants from the environment. However, the low efficiency of NO2--to-NH3 conversion hinders its applications. Here, Ni nanoparticle-decorated juncus-derived biomass carbon prepared at 800 °C (Ni@JBC-800) serves as an efficient catalyst for NH3 synthesis by selective electroreduction of NO2-. This catalyst shows a remarkable NH3 yield of 4117.3 μg h-1 mgcat.-1 and a large faradaic efficiency of 83.4% in an alkaline electrolyte. The catalytic mechanism is further investigated by theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is the important half-reaction for metal-air batteries and fuel cells (FCs), which plays the decisive role for the performance of whole devices. Developing high-efficiency non-precious metal ORR catalysts is urgent and still challenging. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are considered to be one of the promising substitutes for Pt due to their maximum atom utilization efficiency and mass activity. Despite considerable efforts in preparing various SACs, the reaction mechanism and intrinsic activity modulation during the ORR reaction are still not understood in-depth. In this review, the latest advances in the current synthetic strategies for SACs are summarized. The effect of various coordination environments including central metal atoms, coordination atoms, environmental atoms, and guest groups on the intrinsic ORR activity of SACs are discussed. The electrocatalytic mechanisms are clarified by combining density functional theory calculations with in situ advanced characterization technologies. Then, the applications of SACs in FCs and Zn-air batteries are reviewed. Finally, the prospects and challenges for further development of SACs are highlighted.

Abstract
Excessive consumption of fossil fuels has caused unavoidable environmental problems. The development of renewable and clean alternatives is essential for the sustainable and green development of human society. Electrocatalysts are most important parts in these energy-related devices. Recently, scientists found that the surface curvature of electrocatalysts could play an important role for the improvement of catalytic performance and the optimization of intrinsic catalytic activity during electrocatalytic process. The role of surface curvature in electrocatalysts is still under investigating. In this minireview, we summarized the latest progress of electrocatalysts with different surface curvatures and their applications in energy-related applications. This review mainly involves the strategies for preparation of electrocatalysts with different surface curvatures, three typical electrocatalysts with different surface curvatures (curled surface, onion-like structure, and spiral structure), and the potential mechanisms that surface curvature in electrocatalysts affects activities.

Oxygen vacancy-rich N-doped carbon encapsulated BiOCl-CNTs heterostructures as robust electrocatalyst synergistically promote oxygen reduction and Zn-air batteries.

Abstract
The development of non-precious metal catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) is vital for promising clean energy technologies such as fuel cells, and zinc-air batteries. Herein, we present a stepwise synthesis of N-doped and carbon encapsulated BiOCl-CNTs heterostructures. Electrocatalytic ORR studies show that the optimized catalyst has a high half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.85 V (vs. RHE), large limiting current density (-5.34 mA cm-2@0.6 V) in alkaline medium, and nearly perfect 4e- reduction characteristics, even surpassing commercial Pt/C. Meanwhile, the catalyst has exceptional durability (above 97.5 % after 40000 s) and strong resistance towards methanol poisoning. The good ORR activity also results in high-performance zinc-air batteries with a specific capacity (724 mAh g-1@10 mA cm-2), a high open-circuit potential of 1.51 V and a peak power density of 170.7 mW cm-2, as well as an ultra-long charge-discharge cycle stability (155 h), comparable with the Pt/C catalyst. The catalytic mechanism reveals that the excellent electrocatalytic performance originates from the synergistic effect of N doping, oxygen vacancies, and BiOCl sites.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped graphene could catalyze the electrochemical reduction and evolution of oxygen, but unfortunately suffers from sluggish catalytic kinetics. Herein, for the first time, we report an onion-like carbon coated Co, N-doped carbon (OLC/Co-N-C) material, which possesses multilayers of highly curved nanostructures that form mesoporous architectures. These unique nanospheres are produced when surfactant micelles are introduced to synthesis precursors. Owing to the combined electronic effect and nanostructuring effect, our OLC/Co-N-C materials exhibit high bifunctional oxygen reduction/evolution reaction (ORR/OER) activity, showing a promising application in rechargeable Zn-air batteries. Experimental results are rationalized by theoretical calculations, showing that the curvature of graphitic carbon plays a vital role in promoting activities of meta-carbon atoms near graphitic N and ortho/meta carbon atoms close to pyridinic N.

Abstract
Precise adjustment of microstructure and handedness of chiral nanomaterials is important to regulate their properties and performance. Herein, helical 3-aminophenol formaldehyde resin (APF) nanotubes and corresponding carbonaceous nanotubes with controllable handedness and optical activity were obtained via an external metal ion-mediated supramolecular co-templating method in an enantiomerically pure template system, in which an appropriate amount of Mn2+ (Co2+ or Ni2+ ) with moderate coordination abilities can reverse the spatial arrangement of the phenylglycine-based amphiphilic template molecules through metal coordination. Different stacking modes of coordination complexes in disparate metal ion systems lead to diverse helical senses (diameter and pitch) of the obtained helical APF. In addition, this coordination mode of metal intervention can be applied to other amine-based helical polymer synthesis systems, which paves the way for the design of high-quality chiral nanomaterials with satisfactory physical parameters and properties.

Abstract
Co nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated in N-doped carbon nanotubes (Co@NC900 ) are systematically investigated as a potential alternative to precious Pt-group catalysts for hydrogenative heterocyclization reactions. Co@NC900 can efficiently catalyze hydrogenative coupling of 2-nitroaniline to benzaldehyde for synthesis of 2-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole with >99 % yield at ambient temperature in one step. The robust Co@NC900 catalyst can be easily recovered by an external magnetic field after the reaction and readily recycled for at least six times without any evident decrease in activity. Kinetic experiments indicate that Co@NC900 -promoted hydrogenation is the rate-determining step with a total apparent activation energy of 41±1 kJ mol-1 . Theoretical investigations further reveal that Co@NC900 can activate both H2 and the nitro group of 2-nitroaniline. The observed energy barrier for H2 dissociation is only 2.70 eV in the rate-determining step, owing to the presence of confined Co NPs in Co@NC900 . Potential industrial application of the earth-abundant and non-noble transition metal catalysts is also explored for green and efficient synthesis of heterocyclic compounds.

Abstract
Considering the urgent requirement for clean and sustainable energy, fuel cells and metal-air batteries have emerged as promising energy storage and conversion devices to alleviate the worldwide energy challenges. The key step in accelerating the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics at the cathode is to develop cost-effective and high-efficiency non-precious metal catalysts, which can be used to replace expensive Pt-based catalysts. Recently, the transition metal and nitrogen co-doped carbon (M-Nx /C) materials with tailored morphology, tunable composition, and confined structure show great potential in both acidic and alkaline media. Herein, the mechanism of ORR is provided, followed by recent efforts to clarify the actual structures of active sites. Furthermore, the progress of optimizing the catalytic performance of M-Nx /C catalysts by modulating nitrogen-rich precursors and porous structure engineering is highlighted. The remaining challenges and development prospects of M-Nx /C catalysts are also outlined and evaluated.

Abstract
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is central in carbon-neutral energy devices. While platinum group materials have shown high activities for ORR, their practical uses are hampered by concerns over deactivation, slow kinetics, exorbitant cost, and scarce nature reserve. The low cost yet high tunability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide a unique platform for tailoring their characteristic properties as new electrocatalysts. Herein, we report a new concept of design and present stable Zr-chain-based MOFs as efficient electrocatalysts for ORR. The strategy is based on using Zr-chains to promote high chemical and redox stability and, more importantly, tailor the immobilization and packing of redox active-sites at a density that is ideal to improve the reaction kinetics. The obtained new electrocatalyst, PCN-226, thereby shows high ORR activity. We further demonstrate PCN-226 as a promising electrode material for practical applications in rechargeable Zn-air batteries, with a high peak power density of 133 mW cm-2. Being one of the very few electrocatalytic MOFs for ORR, this work provides a new concept by designing chain-based structures to enrich the diversity of efficient electrocatalysts and MOFs.

N8− Polynitrogen Stabilized on Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Reduction Reaction. Catalysts 2020.

Abstract
In this work, non-traditional metal-free polynitrogen chain N8− deposited on a nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (PN-NCNT) catalyst was successfully synthesized by a facile cyclic voltammetry (CV) approach, which was further tested in an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The formation of PN on NCNT was confirmed by attenuated total reflectance–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. Partial positive charge of carbon within NCNT facilitated electron transfer and accordingly induced the formation of more PN species compared to CNT substrate as determined by temperature-programmed decomposition (TPD). Rotating disk electrode (RDE) measurements suggested that a higher current density was achieved over PN-NCNT than that on PN-CNT catalyst, which can be attributed to formation of the larger amount of N8− on NCNT. Kinetic study suggested a four-electron pathway mechanism over PN-NCNT. Moreover, it showed long stability and good methanol tolerance, which indicates its great potential application. This work provides insights on designing and synthesizing non-traditional metal-free catalysts for ORR in fuel cells.

Abstract
Recently, the curly structure attracts researchers' attention due to the strain effect, electronic effect, and improved surface area, which exhibits enhanced electrocatalytic activity. However, the synthesis of metastable curved structures is very difficult. Herein, a simple room temperature coprecipitation method is proposed to synthesize 3D cobalt (Co) hydroxide (α-Co(OH)2 ) electrocatalysts that consist of curly 2D nanosheets. The formation process of curly nanosheets is elaborated systematically and the results demonstrate that the NHx group has great effect on the formation of curly structure. Combining the advantage of 2D curly nanosheet and 3D aggregate structure, the as-prepared α-Co(OH)2 curly nanosheet aggregates show the best water oxidation activity with an overpotential of 269 mV at j = 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 m KOH. The electrocatalytic process studies demonstrate that the formation of CoIV O species is the rate-determining step. Theoretical calculations further confirm the beneficial effect of the bent structure on the conductivity, the adsorption of OH- and the formation of OOH* species.

Abstract
The Co/N-doped carbon material, as an important electrocatalytic material, has been attracted intense interest in ORR and Zn-air battery. Here, we report an efficient Co@N-doped carbon catalyst (Co@N-C-1) obtained by pyrolysis of ZIF precursor with 2-aminobenzimidazole. The introduction of 2-aminobenzimidazole results in the formation of hierarchical meso/microporous structure of the as-prepared Co@N-C-1, effectively avoiding the aggregation of Co nanoparticles during pyrolysis and the higher N content, which contributes to enhance the ORR electrocatalytic activities. The obtained Co@N-C-1 exhibits remarkable ORR performance with a half-wave potential of 0.938 V vs RHE in alkaline media. As the air catalyst of zinc-air batteries, Co@N-C-1 displays 1.439 V of open-circuit voltage and 1413.3 Wh·kg-1 of energy density.

Abstract
With the inspiration of developing bifunctional electrode materials for reversible oxygen electrocatalysis, one strategy of heteroatom doping is proposed to fabricate dual metal single-atom catalysts. However, the identification and mechanism functions of polynary single-atom structures remain elusive. Atomically dispersed binary Co-Ni sites embedded in N-doped hollow carbon nanocubes (denoted as CoNi-SAs/NC) are synthesized via proposed pyrolysis of dopamine-coated metal-organic frameworks. The atomically isolated bimetallic configuration in CoNi-SAs/NC is identified by combining microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. When employing as oxygen electrocatalysts in alkaline medium, the resultant CoNi-SAs/NC hybrid manifests outstanding catalytic performance for bifunctional oxygen reduction/evolution reactions, boosting the realistic rechargeable zinc-air batteries with high efficiency, low overpotential, and robust reversibility, superior to other counterparts and state-of-the-art precious-metal catalysts. Theoretical computations based on density functional theory demonstrate that the homogenously dispersed single atoms and the synergistic effect of neighboring Co-Ni dual metal center can optimize the adsorption/desorption features and decrease the overall reaction barriers, eventually promoting the reversible oxygen electrocatalysis. This work not only sheds light on the controlled synthesis of atomically isolated advanced materials, but also provides deeper understanding on the structure-performance relationships of nanocatalysts with multiple active sites for various catalytic applications.

Abstract
Asymmetrical Pacman dinuclear Co bisporphyrin shows significantly improved activity and selectivity for catalytic reduction of O2 to water in comparison with corresponding mononuclear Co porphyrins and symmetrical dinuclear Co bisporphyrins.
Pacman dinuclear CoII triphenylporphyrin-tri(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin 1 and dinuclear CoII bis-tri(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin 2, anchored at the two meso-positions of a benzene linker, are synthesized and examined as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Both dinuclear Co bisporphyrins are more efficient and selective than corresponding mononuclear CoII tetra(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin 3 and CoII tetraphenylporphyrin 4 for the four-electron electrocatalytic reduction of O2 to water. Significantly, although the ORR selectivities of the two dinuclear Co bisporphyrins are similar to each other, 1 outperforms 2, in terms of larger catalytic ORR currents and lower overpotentials. Electrochemical studies showed different redox behaviors of the two Co sites of 1: the CoIII/CoII reduction of the Co-TPP (TPP = triphenylporphyrin) site is well-behind that of the Co-TPFP (TPFP = tri(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin) site by 440 mV. This difference indicated their different roles in the ORR: CoII-TPFP is likely the O2 binding and reduction site, while CoIII-TPP, which is generated by the oxidation of CoII-TPP on electrodes, may function as a Lewis acid to assist the O2 binding and activation. The positively charged CoIII-TPP will have through-space charge interactions with the negatively charged O2-adduct unit, which will reduce the activation energy barrier for the ORR. This effect of Co-TPP closely resembles that of the CuB site of metalloenzyme cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), which catalyzes the biological reduction of O2. This work represents a rare example of asymmetrical dinuclear metal catalysts, which can catalyze the 4e reduction of O2 with high selectivity and significantly improved activity.

Abstract
The direct oxidation of alcohols to esters through a green and cost-effective strategy is a fascinating chemical synthesis route. In this study, an environmentally friendly N-doped porous carbon encapsulated Co-based nano-catalyst was prepared via a simple carbonization procedure, utilizing renewable chitosan, accessible dicyandiamide and low-cost Co(OAc)2 as co-precursors. The obtained Co@NC-2-T catalysts were successfully used in selective oxidation of aromatic alcohols with methanol to esters under atmospheric reaction conditions. The Co@NC-2-900 catalyst (added with 2 g dicyandiamide and pyrolyzed at 900 °C) shows optimal activity and applicability and can also be reused at least six times in the oxidative esterification of aromatic alcohols with excellent stability. The presence of superoxide anion radicals in the current catalytic system was detected by the EPR method, and a possible mechanism of alcohol oxidation to ester was proposed on this basis. Thus, this study provides a facile, eco-friendly, and highly efficient catalytic system for oxidative esterification of alcohols.

Abstract
It is highly desired but challenging to achieve highly active single-atom Fe sites from iron-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) due to the easy aggregation of iron species and formation of the inactive Fe-based particles during pyrolysis. Herein, a facile migration-prevention strategy is developed involving the incorporation of polyaniline (PANI) into the pores of iron porphyrinic-based MOF PCN-224(Fe) and followed by pyrolysis to obtain the single-atom Fe implanted N-doped porous carbons material PANI@PCN-224(Fe)-900. The introduced PANI inside the pores of PCN-224(Fe) not only served as protective fences to prevent the aggregation of the iron species during thermal annealing, but also acted as nitrogen sources to increase the nitrogen content and form Fe-Nx-C active sites. Compared with the pristine PCN-224(Fe) derived carbonization sample containing Fe-based particles, the carbonaceous material PANI@PCN-224(Fe)-900 without inactive Fe-based particles exhibited superb ORR electrocatalytic activity with a more positive half-wave potential, significantly improved stability in both alkaline media, and more challenging acidic condition. The migration-prevention strategy provides a new way to fabricate atomically dispersed metal active sites via pyrolysis approach for promoting catalysis.

Abstract
In order to reduce the charge-transfer resistance, ohmic resistance, and ionic and electronic resistances arising from the polymer binder, designing and constructing self-standing and binder-free porous electrodes are very significant for energy storage and conversion devices. Herein, self-standing and binder-free porous N-Co carbon nanofiber (N-Co/CNF) cathodes are prepared for zinc-air batteries (ZABs) by an in situ electrospinning/plasma-etching method. The morphology and activity of the prepared electrodes are investigated by several characterization techniques. The prepared specimens exhibit a multilayered CNF structure, and a new CoN compound is produced after plasma-etching treatment. The N-Co/CNF-300-10 cathode demonstrates excellent electrocatalytic performance toward oxygen reduction reaction, with an onset potential and a half-wave potential of 0.995 and 0.853 V (vs reversible hydrogen electrode), respectively, which is comparable to that of 20% Pt/C. The N-Co/CNF-300-10 cathode acting as a self-standing electrode for ZABs exhibits a maximum discharge power density as high as 229 mW cm-2 and a specific capacity of 659.6 mA h gZn-1, which are much higher than those of the commercial catalysts, benefiting from the self-standing porous structure, N-doping, and more defects and active sites induced by plasma-etching. It provides an effective way to construct a self-standing porous electrode with controllable compositions for rechargeable metal-air batteries.

Abstract
LaMnO3 perovskite is one of the most promising catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in metal-air batteries and can be compared to Pt/C. However, the low catalytic activity toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) limits its practical application in rechargeable metal-air batteries. In this work, the MnO2/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 hierarchical core-shell composite materials with a special interface structure have been designed via the selective dissolution method. The core of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 particles is wrapped by the porous and loose MnO2 nanoparticles. The as-prepared MnO2/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 materials have excellent catalytic activity toward ORR/OER and are used as bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts for metal-air batteries. Based on results of transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, valence-band spectroscopy, and O2 temperature-programmed desorption analysis, we conclude that the bifunctional catalytic activity of the MnO2/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 materials can be effectively promoted due to the specific interface structure between the La1-xSrxMnO3 core and the MnO2 shell. This can be attributed to three aspects: (a) the electronic conductivity, which is beneficial for providing the faster charge-transfer paths and kinetics at the oxide/solution interface than that of the MnO2 sample; (b) the enhancement of oxygen adsorption capacity due to surface defects (oxygen vacancies) and chemical adsorption, which is helpful to improve the reaction kinetics during the process of oxygen catalysis; and (c) the tuning of oxygen adsorption ability via the moderate Mn-O bond strength, which may be conducive to getting for obtain an enhanced Mn-O bond strength on the surfaces for ORR and a weakened Mn-O bond in the lattice for OER.
