Abstract
The development of efficient and stable catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in seawater presents a major challenge for hydrogen production through water electrolysis. In this work, we present a stable NiFe foam catalyst with a Se-doped Ni/Fe oxide surface prepared through a combination of chemical vapor deposition and electrochemical exfoliation. This method effectively modifies the surface of the commercial NiFe foam to a rough and stable Se-doped Ni/Fe oxide surface, displaying exceptional OER performance in both freshwater and seawater with more than 54 days stability in natural seawater. Characterizations reveal Ni-Se doped Fe oxide surface, with subsurface layers consisting of Ni alloyed with a moderate concentration of Fe, optimizes the adsorption free energy of oxygen-containing intermediates. Our results demonstrate a surface engineering approach to activate NiFe foam as a robust OER catalyst for seawater electrolysis, which is beneficial for the hydrogen economy and for the environment.

Abstract
Mononuclear phosphinite Iridium complexes based on ferrocene group have been prepared and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The complexes were subjected to cyclic voltammetry studies in order to determine the energies of HOMO and LUMO levels and to estimate their electrochemical and some electronic properties. Organic complex-based memory substrates were immobilized using TiO2-modified ITO electrodes, and the memory functions of phosphinite-based organic complexes were verified by chronoamperometry (CA) and open-circuit potential amperometry (OCPA). Extensive theoretical and experimental investigations were directed to gain a more profound understanding of the chemical descriptors and the diverse electronic transitions taking place within the iridium complexes, as well as their electrochemical characteristics. The quantum chemical calculations were carried out for the iridium complexes at the DFT/CAM-B3LYP level of theory in the gas phase. Furthermore, the antioxidant, antimicrobial, DNA binding, and DNA cleavage activities of the complexes were tested. Complex 2 exhibited the highest radical scavenging activity (67.5 ± 2.24 %) at 200.0 mg/L concentration. It was observed that the complexes formed an inhibition zone in the range of 8-15 mm against Gram + bacteria and in the range of 0-13 mm against Gram - bacteria. The agarose gel electrophoresis method was used to determine the DNA binding and DNA cleavage activities of the complexes. All of the tested complexes had DNA binding activity; however, complexes 1, 2, and 8 showed better binding activity than the others.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction plays a vital role in modern energy conversion and storage, and developing cost-efficient oxygen evolution reaction catalysts with industrially relevant activity and durability is highly desired but still challenging. Here, we report an efficient and durable FeNi hydroxide organic framework nanosheet array catalyst that competently affords long-term oxygen evolution reaction at industrial-grade current densities in alkaline electrolyte. The desirable high-intensity performance is attributed to three aspects as follows. First, two-dimensional nanosheet porous arrays with maximum specific surface facilitate mass/charge transfer to accommodate high-current-density catalysis. Second, in situ derived FeNi hydroxide motifs offer bimetallic synergistic catalysis centers with high intrinsic activity. Third, carboxyl ligands alleviate metal oxidation favorable for charge tolerability against peroxidation dissolution under strong polarization. As a result, this catalyst requires an overpotential of only 280 mV to deliver high current density up to 1 A/cm2 with long durability over 1000 h. Moreover, an alkaline water electrolyzer with this catalyst alternative demonstrates an increased economic effectiveness compared to commercial levels at present.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are increasingly being investigated as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to their unique modular structures that present a hybrid between molecular and heterogeneous catalysts, featuring well-defined active sites. However, many fundamental questions remain open regarding the electrochemical stability of MOFs, structural reconstruction of coordination sites, and the role of in situ-formed species. Here, we report the structural transformation of a surface-grown MOF containing cobalt nodes and 1,1'-ferrocenedicarboxylic acid linkers (denoted as CoFc-MOF) during the OER in alkaline electrolyte. Ex situ and in situ investigations of CoFc-MOF film suggest that the MOF acts as a precatalyst and undergoes a two-step restructuring process under operating conditions to generate a metal oxyhydroxide phase. The MOF-derived metal oxyhydroxide catalyst, supported on nickel foam electrodes, displays high activity toward the OER with an overpotential of 190 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. While this study demonstrates the necessity of investigating structural evolution of MOFs during electrocatalysis, it also shows the potential of using MOFs as precursors in catalyst design.

Abstract
The demand for the exploration of highly active and durable electro/photocatalysts for renewable energy conversion has experienced a significant surge in recent years. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), by virtue of their high porosity, large surface area, and modifiable metal centers and ligands, have gained tremendous attention and demonstrated promising prospects in electro/photocatalytic energy conversion. However, the small pore sizes and limited active sites of 3D bulk MOFs hinder their wide applications. Developing 2D MOFs with tailored thickness and large aspect ratio has emerged as an effective approach to meet these challenges, offering a high density of exposed active sites, better mechanical stability, better assembly flexibility, and shorter charge and photoexcited state transfer distances compared to 3D bulk MOFs. In this review, synthesis methods for the most up-to-date 2D MOFs are first overviewed, highlighting their respective advantages and disadvantages. Subsequently, a systematic analysis is conducted on the identification and electronic structure modulation of catalytic active sites in 2D MOFs and their applications in renewable energy conversion, including electrocatalysis and photocatalysis (electro/photocatalysis). Lastly, the current challenges and future development of 2D MOFs toward highly efficient and practical electro/photocatalysis are proposed.

Abstract
The Zr(IV) ions are easily hydrolyzed to form oxides, which severely limits the discovery of new structures and applications of Zr-based compounds. In this work, three ferrocene (Fc)-functionalized Zr-oxo clusters (ZrOCs), Zr9Fc6, Zr10Fc6 and Zr12Fc8 were synthesized through inhibiting the hydrolysis of Zr(IV) ions, which show increased nuclearity and regular structural variation. More importantly, these Fc-functionalized ZrOCs were used as heterogeneous catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) and phenol oxidation reactions for the first time, and displayed outstanding catalytic activity. In particular, Zr12Fc8 with the largest number of Zr active sites and Fc groups can achieve > 95% yield for LA-to-γ-valerolactone within 4 h (130 °C) and > 98% yield for 2,3,6-trimethylphenol-to-2,3,5-trimethyl-p-benzoquinone within 30 min (80 °C), showing the best catalytic performance. Catalytic characterization combined with theory calculations reveal that in the Fc-functionalized ZrOCs, the Zr active sites could serve as substrate adsorption sites, while the Fc groups could act as hydrogen transfer reagent or Fenton reagent, and thus achieve effectively intramolecular metal-ligand synergistic catalysis. This work develops functionalized ZrOCs as catalysts for thermal-triggered redox reactions.

Abstract
Developing abundant Earth-element and high-efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen production is crucial in effectively reducing the cost of green hydrogen production. Herein, a strategy by comprehensively considering the computational chemical indicators for H* adsorption/desorption and dehydrogenation kinetics to evaluate the hydrogen evolution performance of electrocatalysts is proposed. Guided by the proposed strategy, a series of catalysts are constructed through a dual transition metal doping strategy. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and experimental chemistry demonstrate that cobalt-vanadium co-doped Ni3N is an exceptionally ideal catalyst for hydrogen production from electrolyzed alkaline water. Specifically, Co,V-Ni3N requires only 10 and 41 mV in alkaline electrolytes and alkaline seawater, respectively, to achieve a hydrogen evolution current density of 10 mA cm-2. Moreover, it can operate steadily at a large industrial current density of 500 mA cm-2 for extended periods. Importantly, this evaluation strategy is extended to single-metal-doped Ni3N and found that it still exhibits significant universality. This study not only presents an efficient non-precious metal-based electrocatalyst for water/seawater electrolysis but also provides a significant strategy for the design of high-performance catalysts of electrolyzed water.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts. Chemically bonded MOFs on supports are desirable yet lacking in routine synthesis, as they may allow variable structural evolution and the underlying structure-activity relationship to be disclosed. Herein, direct MOF synthesis is achieved by an organic acid-etching strategy (AES). Using π-conjugated ferrocene (Fc) dicarboxylic acid as the etching agent and organic ligand, a series of MFc-MOF (M=Ni, Co, Fe, Zn) nanosheets are synthesized on the metal supports. The crystal structure is studied using X-ray diffraction and low-dose transmission electron microscopy, which is quasi-lattice-matched with that of the metal, enabling in situ MOF growth. Operando Raman and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy disclose that the NiFc-MOF features dynamic structural rebuilding during OER. The reconstructed one showing optimized electronic structures with an upshifted total d-band center, high M-O bonding state occupancy, and localized electrons on adsorbates indicated by density functional theory calculations, exhibits outstanding OER performance with a fairly low overpotential (130 mV at 10 mA cm-2 ) and good stability (144 h). The newly established approach for direct MOF synthesis and structural reconstruction disclosure stimulate the development of more prudent catalysts for advancing OER.

Abstract
The use of an appropriate preparation route is the key to immobilize active molecules into a host matrix with high loadings and stability. Herein, we demonstrate a simple and general strategy to immobilize ferrocene and its derivatives into ZIF-8 with high loadings of up to 4.3% Fe content. The unique host pore structure allows for the stabilization of guest molecules and effectively prevents their leaching. As a result, the obtained electrocatalysts exhibit competitive oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalytic performance. Optimized Fc-CHO/ZIF-8 requires only a low overpotential of 238 mV to achieve 10 mA cm-2, along with a relatively small Tafel slope of 44.4 mV dec-1. This performance is superior to that of commercial IrO2, suggesting its potential application in electrochemical energy conversion.

Abstract
The precise design and development of high-performing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for the production of industrial hydrogen gas through water electrolysis has been a widely studied topic. A profound understanding of the nature of electrocatalytic processes reveals that Ni-based catalysts are highly active toward OER that can stably operate at a high current density for a long period of time. Given the current gap between research and applications in industrial water electrolysis, we have completed a systematic review by constructively discussing the recent progress of Ni-based catalysts for electrocatalytic OER at a large current density, with special focus on the morphology and composition regulation of Ni-based electrocatalysts for achieving extraordinary OER performance. This review will facilitate future research toward rationally designing next-generation OER electrocatalysts that can meet industrial demands, thereby promoting new sustainable solutions for energy shortage and environment issues.

Abstract
The rational construction of free-standing and flexible electrodes for application in electrochemical energy storage devices and next-generation supercapacitors is an emerging research focus. Herein, we prepared a redox-active ferrocene dicarboxylic acid (Fc)-based nickel metal-organic framework (MOF) on electrospun carbon nanofibers (NiFc-MOF@CNFs) via an in situ approach. This in situ approach avoided the aggregation of the MOF. The NiFc-MOF@CNF flexible electrode showed a high redox-active behavior owing to the presence of ferrocene and flexible carbon nanofibers, which led to unique properties, including high flexibility and lightweight. Furthermore, the prepared electrode was utilized in a supercapacitors (SC) without the use of any binder, which achieved a specific capacity of 460 C g-1 at 1 A g-1 with an excellent cyclic retention of 82.2% after 25 000 cycles and a good rate capability. A flexible asymmetric supercapacitor device was assembled, which delivered a high energy density of 56.25 W h kg-1 and a long-lasting cycling performance. Also, the prepared electrode could be used as a freestanding electrode in flexible devices at different bending angles. The obtained cyclic voltammetry curves showed negligible changes, indicating the high stability and good flexibility of the electrode. Thus, the use of the in situ strategy can lead to the uniform growth of redox-active MOFs or other porous materials on CNFs.

Abstract
The electronic properties and structural characteristics of transition metal materials have a significant impact on their electrocatalytic performance. Therefore, precisely controlling the electronic states of core metals and fabricating catalysts with advanced structures are conducive to facilitating electrolysis process. Herein, we manipulate the electronic properties of the electroactive sites of catalysts by controlling the degree of phosphorization during the phosphorization process. The CoxP-FeP@C electrocatalysts, characterized by their sea-urchin morphology, were synthesized by subjecting CoFc-metal organic framework (MOF) precursors to phosphorization for specific time intervals. The optimized Co2P-FeP@C-5 electrocatalyst showed the optimum performance towards the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalytic efficiency with 239 mV overpotential and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity with 169 mV overpotential to reach 10 mA·cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH (PH = 13.8). For comparison, the extended duration of phosphorization resulted in the formation of CoP-FeP@C-15 and CoP-FeP@C-30 electrocatalysts, which exhibited compromised electrocatalytic performance due to the transformation of the electroactive core Co2P to CoP during subsequent phosphorization processes. The improved interfacial properties between Co2P and FeP play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of water decomposition, attributed to the higher density of states (DOS) at the Fermi Level and the increased availability of electroactive sites for the adsorption of intermediates and electrolysis. These findings are substantiated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This approach offers a highly effective means of manipulating the electronic properties of the electroactive transition metal core by controlling the degree of phosphorization, with the ultimate goal of achieving efficient water splitting.

Abstract
The development of highly active and stable electrode materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for the widespread application of electrochemical energy conversion systems. In recent years, various metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with self-supporting array structures have been extensively studied because of their high porosity, abundant metal sites, and flexible and adjustable structures. This review provides an overview of the recent progress in the design, preparation, and applications of MOF-based nanoarrays for the OER, beginning with the introduction of the architectural advantages of the nanoarrays and the characteristics of MOFs. Subsequently, the design principles of robust and efficient MOF-based nanoarrays as OER electrodes are highlighted. Furthermore, detailed discussions focus on the composition, structure, and performance of pristine MOF nanoarrays (MOFNAs) and MOF-based composite nanoarrays. On the one hand, the effects of the two components of MOFs and several modification methods are discussed in detail for MOFNAs. On the other hand, the review emphasizes the use of MOF-based composite nanoarrays composed of MOFs and other nanomaterials, such as oxides, hydroxides, oxyhydroxides, chalcogenides, MOFs, and metal nanoparticles, to guide the rational design of efficient OER electrodes. Finally, perspectives on current challenges, opportunities, and future directions in this research field are provided.

Abstract
Nitrate electroreduction (NO3RR) holds promise as an energy-efficient strategy for the removal of toxic nitrate to restore the natural nitrogen cycle and mitigate the adverse impacts caused by overfertilization from suboptimal agricultural practices. However, existing catalysts suffer from limited electrocatalytic activity, poor selectivity, inadequate durability, and low scalability. To address this quadrilemma, in this study, we developed a cost-effective layered double hydroxide (LDH) electrocatalyst with a lamellar structure that presents trimetallic CuCoAl active sites on the nanomaterial surface. This codoping design enabled electrochemical upcycling of nitrate into ammonia exclusively and efficiently with an onset potential at 0 V vs RHE, where the electrocatalytic process is less energy intensive and has a lower carbon footprint than conventional practices. The synergistic interaction among Cu, Co, and Al further afforded a 99.5% Faradic efficiency (FE) and a yield rate of 0.22 mol h-1 g-1 for nitrate-to-ammonia electroreduction, surpassing the performance of state-of-the-art nonprecious metal NO3RR electrocatalysts over an extended operation period. To gain insights into the origin of the catalytic performance observed on LDH, control materials were employed to elucidate the roles of Cu and Co. Cu was found to improve the NO3RR onset potential despite displaying limited FE for ammonia synthesis, while Co was discovered to suppress the formation of nitrite byproduct though requiring large overpotential. Simulated wastewater containing phosphate and sulfate, which are typically present in industrial effluents, was used to further investigate the effect of electrolytes on NO3RR. Intriguingly, the use of phosphate buffer resulted in a superior yield rate and FE for ammonia production while simultaneously inhibiting nitrite byproduct formation compared with the sulfate case. These experimental findings were supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which explored the adsorption strength of nitrate adducts adjacent to coadsorbed electrolytes on the LDH surface. Additionally, the relative free energies of NO3RR species were also computed to examine the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) mechanism on CuCoAl LDH, shedding light on the potential-dependent step (PDS) and the exclusive selectivity for nitrate-to-ammonia conversion. The CuCoAl LDH developed here offers scalability by eliminating the need for precious metals, rendering this earth-abundant catalyst particularly appealing for sustainable nitrate electrovalorization technology.

Abstract
Heterogeneous oxides with multiple interfaces provide significant advantages in electrocatalytic activity and stability. However, controlling the local structure of these oxides is challenging. In this work, unique heterojunctions are demonstrated based on two oxide types, which are formed via pyrolysis of a ruthenocene metal-organic framework (Ru-MOF) at specific temperatures. The resulted Ru-MOF-400 exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity, with an overpotential of 190 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in 0.1 m HClO4 , and a mass activity of 2557 A gRu -1 , three orders of magnitude higher than commercial RuO2 . The Ru─O─Co bond formed by the incorporation of Co into the rutile lattice of RuO2 inhibits the disolution of Ru. Operando electrochemical investigations and density functional theory results reveal that the Ru-MOF-400 undergo asymmetric dual-active site oxide path mechanism during the acidic oxygen evolution reaction process, which is predominantly mediated by the asymmetric Ru─Co dual active site present at the interfaces between Co3 O4 and CoRuOx .

Abstract
The fascinating electrochemical properties of the redox-active compound ferrocene have inspired researchers across the globe to develop ferrocene-based electrocatalysts for a wide variety of applications. Advantages including excellent chemical and thermal stability, solubility in organic solvents, a pair of stable redox states, rapid electron transfer, and nontoxic nature improve its utility in various electrochemical applications. The use of ferrocene-based electrocatalysts enables control over the intrinsic properties and electroactive sites at the surface of the electrode to achieve specific electrochemical activities. Ferrocene and its derivatives can function as a potential redox medium that promotes electron transfer rates, thereby enhancing the reaction kinetics and electrochemical responses of the device. The outstanding electrocatalytic activity of ferrocene-based compounds at lower operating potentials enhances the specificity and sensitivity of reactions and also amplifies the response signals. Owing to their versatile redox chemistry and catalytic activities, ferrocene-based electrocatalysts are widely employed in various energy-related systems, molecular machines, and agricultural, biological, medicinal, and sensing applications. This review highlights the importance of ferrocene-based electrocatalysts, with emphasis on their properties, synthesis strategies for obtaining different ferrocene-based compounds, and their electrochemical applications.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is inevitably accompanied by some degree of radiation resistance, which leads to local recurrence and even therapeutic failure. To overcome this limitation, herein, we report the room-temperature synthesis of an iodine- and ferrocene-loaded covalent organic framework (COF) nanozyme, termed TADI-COF-Fc, for the enhancement of radiotherapeutic efficacy in the treatment of radioresistant esophageal cancer. The iodine atoms on the COF framework not only exerted a direct effect on radiotherapy, increasing its efficacy by increasing X-ray absorption, but also promoted the radiolysis of water, which increased the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, the ferrocene surface decoration disrupted redox homeostasis by increasing the levels of hydroxyl and lipid peroxide radicals and depleting intracellular antioxidants. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments substantiated the excellent radiotherapeutic response of TADI-COF-Fc. This study demonstrates the potential of COF-based multinanozymes as radiosensitizers and suggests a possible treatment integration strategy for combination oncotherapy.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been increasingly applied in oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and the surface of MOFs usually undergoes structural transformation to form metal oxyhydroxides to serve as catalytically active sites. However, the controllable regulation of the reconstruction process of MOFs remains as a great challenge. Here we report a defect engineering strategy to facilitate the structural transformation of MOFs to metal oxyhydroxides during OER with enhanced activity. Defective MOFs (denoted as NiFc'x Fc1-x ) with abundant unsaturated metal sites are constructed by mixing ligands of 1,1'-ferrocene dicarboxylic acid (Fc') and defective ferrocene carboxylic acid (Fc). NiFc'x Fc1-x series are more prone to be transformed to metal oxyhydroxides compared with the non-defective MOFs (NiFc'). Moreover, the as-formed metal oxyhydroxides derived from defective MOFs contain more oxygen vacancies. NiFc'Fc grown on nickel foam exhibits excellent OER catalytic activity with an overpotential of 213 mV at the current density of 100 mA cm-2 , superior to that of undefective NiFc'. Experimental results and theoretical calculations suggest that the abundant oxygen vacancies in the derived metal oxyhydroxides facilitate the adsorption of oxygen-containing intermediates on active centers, thus significantly improving the OER activity.

Abstract
Multivariate metal-organic framework (MOF) is an ideal electrocatalytic material due to the synergistic effect of multiple metal active sites. In this study, a series of ternary M-NiMOF (M = Co, Cu) through a simple self-templated strategy that the Co/Cu MOF isomorphically grows in situ on the surface of NiMOF is designed. Owing to the electron rearrange of adjacent metals, the ternary CoCu-NiMOFs demonstrate the improved intrinsic electrocatalytic activity. At optimized conditions, the ternary Co3 Cu-Ni2 MOFs nanosheets give the excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of current density of 10 mA cm-2 at low overpotential of 288 mV with a Tafel slope of 87 mV dec-1 , which is superior to that of bimetallic nanosheet and ternary microflowers. The low free energy change of potential-determining step identifies that the OER process is favorable at Cu-Co concerted sites along with strong synergistic effect of Ni nodes. Partially oxidized metal sites also reduce the electron density, thus accelerating the OER catalytic rate. The self-templated strategy provides a universal tool to design multivariate MOF electrocatalysts for highly efficient energy transduction.

Abstract
NiFe-based (oxy)hydroxides are the benchmark catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline medium, however, it is still challenging to control their structures and compositions. Herein, molybdates (NiFe(MoO4 )x ) are applied as unique precursors to synthesize ultrafine Mo modified NiFeOx Hy (oxy)hydroxide nanosheet arrays. The electrochemical activation process enables the molybdate ions (MoO4 2- ) in the precursors gradually dissolve, and at the same time, hydroxide ions (OH- ) in the electrolyte diffuse into the precursor and react with Ni2+ and Fe3+ ions in confined space to produce ultrafine NiFeOx Hy (oxy)hydroxides nanosheets (<10 nm), which are densely arranged into microporous arrays and maintain the rod-like morphology of the precursor. Such dense ultrafine nanosheet arrays produce rich edge planes on the surface of NiFeOx Hy (oxy)hydroxides to expose more active sites. More importantly, the capillary phenomenon of microporous structures and hydrophilic hydroxyl groups induce the superhydrophilicity and the rough surface produces the superaerophobic characteristic for bubbles. With these advantages, the optimized catalyst exhibits excellent performance for OER, with a small overpotential of 182 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and long-term stability (200 h) at 200 mA cm-2 . Theoretical calculations show that the modification of Mo enhances the electron delocalization and optimizes the adsorption of intermediates.

Abstract
Valence tuning of transition metal oxides is an effective approach to design high-performance catalysts, particularly for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) that underpins solar/electric water splitting and metal-air batteries. Recently, high-valence oxides (HVOs) are reported to show superior OER performance, in association with the fundamental dynamics of charge transfer and the evolution of the intermediates. Particularly considered are the adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM) and the lattice oxygen-mediated mechanism (LOM). High-valence states enhance the OER performance mainly by optimizing the eg -orbital filling, promoting the charge transfer between the metal d band and oxygen p band. Moreover, HVOs usually show an elevated O 2p band, which triggers the lattice oxygen as the redox center and enacts the efficient LOM pathway to break the "scaling" limitation of AEM. In addition, oxygen vacancies, induced by the overall charge-neutrality, also promote the direct oxygen coupling in LOM. However, the synthesis of HVOs suffers from relatively large thermodynamic barrier, which makes their preparation difficult. Hence, the synthesis strategies of the HVOs are discussed to guide further design of the HVO electrocatalysts. Finally, further challenges and perspectives are outlined for potential applications in energy conversion and storage.

Abstract
A facile synthesis of atomically precise metal nanoclusters, especially those decorated with functional groups, is the prerequisite for finding applications in special fields and studying structure-and-property relationships. The exploration of simple and efficient synthetic prototypes for introducing functional ligands (such as ferrocene) into cluster moieties is thus of high interest. In this work, a type of reducing agent of dppfCuBH4 (dppf is 1,1'-bis(diphenyphosphino)ferrocene) is introduced for the first time to prepare ferrocene-functionalized metal nanoclusters. Two new clusters of [Ag25Cu4(dppf)6(3-F-PhCC)12Cl6]3+ (1) and [Ag4(dppf)5Cl2]2+ (2) have been obtained from the simple synthetic method. The two compounds have been fully characterized by advanced techniques of electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). The total structure of the clusters, as determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, describes the Ag13@Ag12Cu4(dppf)6(3-F-PhCC)12Cl6 core-shell structure of 1 and [Ag2Cl(dppf)2]+-dppf-[Ag2Cl(dppf)2]+ polymeric structure of 2. This work opens the door to employing dppfCuBH4 as a functional reducing agent to discover many underlying metal nanoclusters and even other nanomaterials which feature ferrocene-groups.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) solids with their variable functionalities are relevant for energy conversion technologies. However, the development of electroactive and stable MOFs for electrocatalysis still faces challenges. Here, a molecularly engineered MOF system featuring a 2D coordination network based on mercaptan-metal links (e.g., nickel, as for Ni(DMBD)-MOF) is designed. The crystal structure is solved from microcrystals by a continuous-rotation electron diffraction (cRED) technique. Computational results indicate a metallic electronic structure of Ni(DMBD)-MOF due to the Ni-S coordination, highlighting the effective design of the thiol ligand for enhancing electroconductivity. Additionally, both experimental and theoretical studies indicate that (DMBD)-MOF offers advantages in the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) over non-thiol (e.g., 1,4-benzene dicarboxylic acid) analog (BDC)-MOF, because it poses fewer energy barriers during the rate-limiting *O intermediate formation step. Iron-substituted NiFe(DMBD)-MOF achieves a current density of 100 mA cm-2 at a small overpotential of 280 mV, indicating a new MOF platform for efficient OER catalysis.

Abstract
Enzymatic catalysis has fueled considerable interest from chemists due to its high efficiency and selectivity. However, the structural complexity and vulnerability hamper the application potentials of enzymes. Driven by the practical demand for chemical conversion, there is a long-sought quest for bioinspired catalysts reproducing and even surpassing the functions of natural enzymes. As nanoporous materials with high surface areas and crystallinity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent an exquisite case of how natural enzymes and their active sites are integrated into porous solids, affording bioinspired heterogeneous catalysts with superior stability and customizable structures. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the advances of bioinspired MOFs for catalysis, discuss the design principle of various MOF-based catalysts, such as MOF-enzyme composites and MOFs embedded with active sites, and explore the utility of these catalysts in different reactions. The advantages of MOFs as enzyme mimetics are also highlighted, including confinement, templating effects, and functionality, in comparison with homogeneous supramolecular catalysts. A perspective is provided to discuss potential solutions addressing current challenges in MOF catalysis.

Abstract
Hydrogen, a clean and flexible energy carrier, can be efficiently produced by electrocatalytic water splitting. To accelerate the sluggish hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction kinetics in the splitting process, highly active electrocatalysts are essential for lowering the energy barriers, thereby improving the efficiency of overall water splitting. Combining the distinctive advantages of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the physicochemical properties of 2D materials such as large surface area, tunable structure, accessible active sites, and enhanced conductivity, 2D MOFs have attracted intensive attention in the field of electrocatalysis. Different strategies, such as improving the conductivities of MOFs, reducing the thicknesses of MOF nanosheets, and integrating MOFs with conductive particles or substrates, are developed to promote the catalytic performances of pristine MOFs. This review summarizes the recent advances of pristine 2D MOF-based electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. In particular, their intrinsic electrocatalytic properties are detailly analyzed to reveal important roles of inherent MOF active centers, or other in situ generated active phases from MOFs responsible for the catalytic reactions. Finally, the challenges and development prospects of pristine 2D MOFs for the future applications in overall water splitting are discussed.

Abstract
Arsenic (As(V))-contaminated water is a major global threat to human health and the ecosystem because of its enormous toxicity, carcinogenicity, and high distribution in water streams. Thus, As(V) removal in the environmental samples has received considerable attention. Till now, numerous metal-organic framework materials have been used for the As(V) removal from the aqueous medium, but low As(V) removal and instability of the adsorbents have severely cut off their practical applications. In this study, a ferrocene-encapsulated zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (Fc-ZIF-67) material was synthesized for As(V) removal from an aqueous solution at neutral pH using a simple solution mixing process. The ferrocene encapsulation provides water-stable and structural defects to ZIF-67. Furthermore, the ferrocene molecule and imidazole linker can enhance As(V) adsorption via both chemisorption and physisorption. The novel Fc-ZIF-67 adsorbent exhibited superior As(V) adsorption performance with an adsorption capacity of 63.29 mg/g at neutral pH. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were also used to analyze adsorption behavior.

Abstract
The bottleneck of large-scale implementation of electrocatalytic water-splitting technology lies in lacking inexpensive, efficient, and durable catalysts to accelerate the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction kinetics. Owing to more metallic features, transition metal telluride (TMT) with good electronic conductivity holds promising potential as an ideal type of electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), whereas most TMTs reported up to now still show unsatisfactory OER performance that is far below corresponding sulfide and selenide counterparts. Here, the activation and stabilization of cobalt telluride (CoTe) nanoarrays toward OER through dual integration of sulfur (S) doping and surface oxidization is reported. The as-synthesized CoO@S-CoTe catalyst exhibits a low overpotential of only 246 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a long-term stability of more than 36 h, outperforming commercial RuO2 and other reported telluride-based OER catalysts. The combined experimental and theoretical results reveal that the enhanced OER performance stems from increased active sites exposure, improved charge transfer ability, and optimized electronic state. This work will provide a valuable guidance to release the catalytic potential of telluride-based OER catalysts via interface modulating engineering.

[PMID: 36334570 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.130277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 32.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2022] [Revised: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Concerns regarding pesticide residues have driven attempts to exploit accurate, prompt and straightforward approaches for food safety pre-warning. Herein, a nanozyme-mediated versatile platform with multiplex signal response (colorimetric, fluorescence and temperature) was proposed for visual, sensitive and portable detection of glyphosate (GLP). The platform was constructed based on a N-CDs/FMOF-Zr nanosensor that prepared by in situ anchoring nitrogen-doped carbon dots onto zirconium-based ferrocene metal-organic framework nanosheets. The N-CDs/FMOF-Zr possessed excellent peroxidase (POD)-like activity and thus could oxide colorless 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into a blue oxidized TMB (oxTMB) in presence of H2O2. Intriguingly, owing to the blocking effect triggered by multiple interaction between GLP and N-CDs/FMOF-Zr, its POD-like activity of the latter was remarkably suppressed, which can modulate the transformation of TMB into oxTMB, generating tri-signal responses of fluorescence enhancement, absorbance and temperature decrease. More significantly, the temperature mode can be facilely realized by a portable home-made mini-photothermal device and handheld thermometers. The proposed multimodal sensing was capable of providing sensitive results by fluorescence mode and simultaneously realized visual/portable testing by colorimetric and photothermal channels. Consequently, it exhibited more adaptability for practical applications, which can satisfy different testing requirements according to sensitivity and available instruments/meters, presenting a new horizon for exploiting multifunctional sensors.

Abstract
The scalable production of inexpensive, efficient, and robust catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) that can deliver high current densities at low potentials is critical for the industrial implementation of water splitting technology. Herein, a series of metal oxides coupled with Fe2O3 are in situ grown on iron foam massively via an ultrafast combustion approach for a few seconds. Benefiting from the three-dimensional nanosheet array framework and the heterojunction structure, the self-supporting electrodes with abundant active centers can regulate mass transport and electronic structure for prompting OER activity at high current density. The optimized Ni(OH)2/Fe2O3 with robust structure can deliver a high current density of 1000 mA cm-2 at the overpotential as low as 271 mV in 1.0 M KOH for up to 1500 h. Theoretical calculation demonstrates that the strong electronic modulation plays a crucial part in the hybrid by optimizing the adsorption energy of the intermediate, thereby enhancing the efficiency of oxygen evolution. This work proposes a method to construct cheap and robust catalysts for practical application in energy conversion and storage.

Abstract
CoSx materials with high catalytic activity are considered as promising HER electrocatalysts, but their inherent low electrical conductivity and easy loss of active sites have greatly limited their applications in OER electrocatalysis. Herein, we present a convenient method to synthesize Co-Cu hollow nanoprisms after wrapping and calcining with trithiocyanuric acid (C3H3N3S3) (denoted N-Co-Cu-S-x HNs). The results showed that Cu doping modified the charge density of Co center, leading to the enhancement of the intrinsic activity of the Co3S4 active center, meanwhile wrapping trithiocyanuric acid on the surfaces and calcinating to form N-containing C skeleton as a flexible substrate to encapsulate the catalysts, which effectively protected the active sites inside the catalysts. Notably, the OER catalyst that was optimized by adjusting the metal ratio and controlling the trithiocyanuric acid incorporation exhibited a low overpotential of 306 mV under a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and showed a superior durability of more than 27 h. This work may provide some insights into the preparation of oxygen evolution reaction catalysts with excellent performance through doping transition metals and protecting the internal active sites strategies.

Abstract
Ammonia production plays a central role in modern industry and agriculture with a continuous surge in its demand, yet the current industrial Haber-Bosch process suffers from low energy efficiency and accounts for high carbon emissions. Direct electrochemical conversion of nitrate to ammonia therefore emerges as an appealing approach with satisfactory sustainability while reducing the environmental impact from nitrate pollution. To this end, electrocatalysts for efficient conversion of eight-electron nitrate to ammonia require collective contributions at least from high-density reactive sites, selective reaction pathways, efficient multielectron transfer, and multiproton transport processes. Here, we report a catalytic metal-organic framework (two-dimensional (2D) In-MOF In8) catalyst integrated with multiple functional motifs with atomic precision, including uniformly dispersed, high-density, single-atom catalytic sites, high proton conductivity (efficient proton transport channel), high electron conductivity (promoted by the redox-active ligands), and confined microporous environments. These eventually lead to a direct and efficient electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia and record high yield rate, FE, and selectivity for NH3 production. A novel "dynamic ligand dissociation" mechanism provides an unprecedented working principle that allows for the use of a high-quality MOF crystalline structure to function as highly ordered, high-density, single-atom catalyst (SAC)-like catalytic systems and ensures the maximum utilization of the metal centers within the MOF structure. Further, the atomically precise assembly of multiple functional motifs within a MOF catalyst offers an effective and facile strategy for the future development of framework-based enzyme-mimic systems.

Abstract
Hydrogels containing redox-sensitive colorimetric nanoparticles (NPs) have been used to sense ambient pH in many fields owing to their simple and fast visualization capabilities. However, real-time pH monitoring still has limitations due to its poor response rate and irreversibility. Herein, we developed a fast responsive colorimetric hydrogel called ferrocene adsorption colorimetric hydrogel (FACH). Ferrocene, an organometallic compound, plays a vital role as an electron transfer mediator (i.e., redox catalyst) within the hydrogel network. FACH shows fast color change performance with high reactivity and penetrability to ambient pH changes. In detail, FACH shows distinct color change within 2 min under various pH conditions from four to eight, with good reliability. The speed for color change of FACH is approximately six times faster than that of previously developed colorimetric hydrogels, suggesting the fastest hydrogel-based colorimetric pH sensor. Furthermore, FACH shows reversibility and repeatability of the redox process, indicating scalable utility as a sustainable pH monitoring platform.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively investigated as oxygen evolution reaction (OER) materials because of their numerous advantages such as large specific surface areas, ultrathin thicknesses, well-defined active metal centers, and adjustable pore structures. Five Co-metal-organic frameworks, namely, [Co(L) (4.4′-bbidpe)H2O]n [YMUN 1 (YMUN for Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities)], {[Co2(L)2 (4.4′-bbibp)2]·[Co3(L) (4.4′-bbibp)]·DMAC}n (YMUN 2), [Co(L) (3,5-bip)]n (YMUN 3), [Co(L) (1,4-bimb)]n (YMUN 4), and [Co(L) (4.4′-bidpe)H2O]n (YMUN 5), were designed and fabricated from flexible dicarboxylic acid 1,3-bis(4′-carboxylphenoxy)benzene (H2L) and rigid/flexible imidazole ligands. Their frameworks consist of two-dimensional lamellar networks with a number of differences in their details. Their frameworks are discussed and compared, and their oxygen evolution reaction electrochemical activities and photocatalysis dye degradation properties are investigated.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with diverse composition, tunable structure, and unique physicochemical properties have emerged as promising materials in various fields. The tunable pore structure, abundant active sites, and ultrahigh specific surface area can facilitate mass transport and provide outstanding capacity, making MOFs an ideal active material for electrochemical energy storage and conversion. However, the poor electrical conductivity of pristine MOFs severely limits their applications in electrochemistry. Developing conductive MOFs has proved to be an effective solution to this problem. This review focuses on the design and synthesis of conductive MOF composites with judiciously chosen conducting materials, pristine MOFs, and assembly methods, as well as the preparation of intrinsically conductive MOFs based on building 2D π-conjugated structures, introducing mixed-valence metal ions/redox-active ligands, designing π-π stacked pathways, and constructing infinite metal-sulfur chains (-M-S-)∞ . Furthermore, recent progress and challenges of conductive MOFs for energy storage and conversion (supercapacitors, Li-ion batteries, Li-S batteries, and electrochemical water splitting) are summarized.

Abstract
Hybrid bilayer membrane (HBM) platforms represent an emerging nanoscale bio-inspired interface that has broad implications in energy catalysis and smart molecular devices. An HBM contains multiple modular components that include an underlying inorganic surface with a biological layer appended on top. The inorganic interface serves as a support with robust mechanical properties that can also be decorated with functional moieties, sensing units and catalytic active sites. The biological layer contains lipids and membrane-bound entities that facilitate or alter the activity and selectivity of the embedded functional motifs. With their structural complexity and functional flexibility, HBMs have been demonstrated to enhance catalytic turnover frequency and regulate product selectivity of the O2 and CO2 reduction reactions, which have applications in fuel cells and electrolysers. HBMs can also steer the mechanistic pathways of proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions of quinones and metal complexes by tuning electron and proton delivery rates. Beyond energy catalysis, HBMs have been equipped with enzyme mimics and membrane-bound redox agents to recapitulate natural energy transport chains. With channels and carriers incorporated, HBM sensors can quantify transmembrane events. This Review serves to summarize the major accomplishments achieved using HBMs in the past decade.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are recognized as promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) because of their permanent porosity and rich architectural diversity; however, ionic MOFs enabling fast ions exchange during OER are rarely explored. Here, an ionic MOF (Ni-btz) constructed with an azolate ligand is selected, and continuous 3D bimetallic MOF (NiFe-btz) films deriving from high-degree intergrowth of microsized MOFs particles are fabricated. The as-prepared NiFe-btz/NF-OH electrode exhibits excellent OER performance with a low overpotential of 239 mV at 10 mA cm-2 under alkaline condition. The OER charge transfer process and bimetallic coupling effect in ionic NiFe-btz are probed by density functional theory calculations and confirmed via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and in situ Raman measurements. The partial density of states of NiFe-btz indicates that the main contribution for electron density around the Fermi level is from Cl ions clarifying the profitable impact of ionic MOF framework. This work systematically demonstrates the relationship of electronic structure and OER activity in ionic, bimetallic MOFs and expands the scope of 3D MOF films for efficient OER.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a crucial reaction in water splitting, metal-air batteries, and other electrochemical conversion technologies. Rationally designed catalysts with rich active sites and high intrinsic activity have been considered as a hopeful strategy to address the sluggish kinetics for OER. However, constructing such active sites in non-noble catalysts still faces grand challenges. To this end, we fabricate a Ni2P@Fe2P core-shell structure with outperforming performance toward OER via chemical transformation of rationally designed Ni-MOF hybrid nanosheets. Specifically, the Ni-MOF nanosheets and their supported Fe-based nanomaterials were in situ transformed into porous Ni2P@Fe2P core-shell nanosheets composed of Ni2P and Fe2P nanodomains in homogenous dispersion via a phosphorization process. When employed as the OER electrocatalyst, the Ni2P@Fe2P core-shell nanosheets exhibits excellent OER performance, with a low overpotential of 238/247 mV to drive 50/100 mA cm-2, a small Tafel slope of 32.91 mV dec-1, as well as outstanding durability, which could be mainly ascribed to the strong electronic interaction between Ni2P and Fe2P nanodomains stabilizing more Ni and Fe atoms with higher valence. These high-valence metal sites promote the generation of high-active Ni/FeOOH to enhance OER activity.

Abstract
Designing and fabricating well-aligned metal-organic framework nanoarrays (MOF NAs) with high electrocatalytic activity and durability for water oxidation at large current density remain huge challenges. Here the vertical NiFc-MOF NAs constructed from agaric-like nanosheets were fabricated by introducing a ligand containing an exotic Fe atom to coordinate with Ni ion using Ni(OH)2 NAs as a self-sacrificing template. The NiFc-MOF NAs exhibited superior water oxidation performance with a very low overpotential of 161 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm-2. Chronoamperometry was tested at an overpotential of 250 mV, which delivered an initial industrial-grade current density of 702 mA cm-2 and still remained at 694 mA cm-2 after 24 h. Furthermore, it possessed fast reaction kinetics with a small Tafel slope of 29.5 mV dec-1. The superior electrocatalytic performance can be ascribed to the structural advantage of vertically grown agaric-like NAs and the synergistic electron coupling between Ni and Fe atoms, namely, electron transfer from Ni to Fe atoms in NiFc-MOF NAs. The exposed density and valence state of active Ni sites were synchronously increased. Furthermore, the energy barrier for the adsorption/desorption of oxygenated intermediates was ultimately optimized for water oxidation. This work provides a novelty orientation to accelerate electrocatalytic performance of MOF NAs by introducing self-sacrificing templates containing one metal and synergistic ligand containing dissimilar metal.

Abstract
Lithium sulfur batteries (LSBs) have attracted tremendous attention owing to their high theoretical specific capacity and specific energy. However, their practical applications are hindered by poor cyclic life, mainly caused by polysulfide shuttling. The development of advanced materials to mitigate the polysulfide shuttling effect is urgently demanded. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been exploited as multifunctional materials for the decoration of separators owing to their high surface area, structural diversity, tunable pore size, and easy tailor ability. In this review, we aim to present the state-of-the-art MOF-based separators for LSBs. Particular attention is paid to the rational design (pore aperture, metal node, functionality, and dimension) of MOFs with enhanced ability for anchoring polysulfides and facilitating Li+ transportation. Finally, the challenges and perspectives are provided regarding to the future design MOF-based separators for high-performance LSBs.

Abstract
Two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have served as favorable prototypes for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Despite promising catalytic activity, their OER reaction kinetics are still limited by the sluggish four-electron transfer process. Herein, we develop a ferrocene carboxylic acid (FcCA) partially substituted cobalt-terephthalic acid (CoBDC) catalyst with a bifunctional microreactor composed of two species of Co active sites and ligand FcCA (CoBDC FcCA). Benefiting from the ultrathin nanosheet structure, CoBDC FcCA catalyst exhibits an excellent OER performance with a low overpotential of 280 mV to reach 10 mA cm-2 and a small Tafel slope of 53 mV dec-1. Structure characterization together with theoretical calculations directly unravel the coordination for two species of Co active moieties with FcCA forming a microreactor of tensile strain, leading to a conversion of the Co spin from a high spin state (t2g5eg2) to an intermediate spin state (t2g6eg1) to regulate antibonding states of Co 3d and O 2p orbital. In situ spectroscopic measurements for mechanistic understanding reveal that this CoBDC FcCA catalyst possesses an optimal OH* adsorption energy for propitious formation of O-O bonds in the OOH* intermediate, thus effectively decreasing the thermodynamic Gibbs free energy of the rate-determining step (O* → OOH*) to accelerate reaction kinetics for the whole OER process. When loaded on an integrated BiVO4 photoanode as a cocatalyst, CoBDC FcCA enables highly active solar-driven oxygen production from water splitting.

Abstract
The complex oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is recognized as the most studied and explored electrochemical conversion, which plays a crucial role in energy-related applications. In this work, a series of metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived FeNi oxides from a barrel-shaped Ni-based BMM-10 precursor are conveniently obtained to show an excellent OER performance. Under mild Fe(III) etching, a type of core-shell Fe0.5-BMM-10 can be well preserved and the coordination bond of the middle frame structure is decomposed. Furthermore, the Fex-BMM-10-T series is successfully synthesized with a well-preserved morphology compared to precursors after direct oxidation. Finally, followed by initial electrochemical activation, the decomposition of FeNi oxides generates active Fe-doped nickel oxyhydroxides for efficient water oxidation. The improved OER performance stems from the high specific surface area and abundant exposed active centers, as well as the significant synergistic effect between iron and nickel, which is further verified by the theoretical calculation. This approach can be extended to precisely adjust the morphology of MOFs and their derivatives that can result in superior electrocatalytic properties in terms of energy conversion and storage applications.
