Modulating Electronic Structure by Etching Strategy to Construct NiSe 2 /Ni 0.85 Se Heterostructure for Urea-Assisted Hydrogen Evolution Reaction. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2304390.

Abstract
Exploring and developing novel strategies for constructing heterostructure electrocatalysts is still challenging for water electrolysis. Herein, a creative etching treatment strategy is adopted to construct NiSe2 /Ni0.85 Se heterostructure. The rich heterointerfaces between NiSe2 and Ni0.85 Se emerge strong electronic interaction, which easily induces the electron transfer from NiSe2 to Ni0.85 Se, and tunes the charge-state of NiSe2 and Ni0.85 Se. In the NiSe2 /Ni0.85 Se heterojunction nanomaterial, the higher charge-state Ni0.85 Se is capable of affording partial electrons to combine with hydrogen protons, inducing the rapid formation of H2 molecule. Accordingly, the lower charge-state NiSe2 in the NiSe2 /Ni0.85 Se heterojunction nanomaterial is more easily oxidized into high valence state Ni3+ during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process, which is beneficial to accelerate the mass/charge transfer and enhance the electrocatalytic activities towards OER. Theoretical calculations indicate that the heterointerfaces are conducive to modulating the electronic structure and optimizing the adsorption energy toward intermediate H* during the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) process, leading to superior electrocatalytic activities. To expand the application of the NiSe2 /Ni0.85 Se-2h electrocatalyst, urea is served as the adjuvant to proceed with the energy-saving hydrogen production and pollutant degradation, and it is proven to be a brilliant strategy.

Abstract
Transition metal borides, carbides, pnictides, and chalcogenides (X-ides) have emerged as a class of materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Because of their high earth abundance, electrical conductivity, and OER performance, these electrocatalysts have the potential to enable the practical application of green energy conversion and storage. Under OER potentials, X-ide electrocatalysts demonstrate various degrees of oxidation resistance due to their differences in chemical composition, crystal structure, and morphology. Depending on their resistance to oxidation, these catalysts will fall into one of three post-OER electrocatalyst categories: fully oxidized oxide/(oxy)hydroxide material, partially oxidized core@shell structure, and unoxidized material. In the past ten years (from 2013 to 2022), over 890 peer-reviewed research papers have focused on X-ide OER electrocatalysts. Previous review papers have provided limited conclusions and have omitted the significance of "catalytically active sites/species/phases" in X-ide OER electrocatalysts. In this review, a comprehensive summary of (i) experimental parameters (e.g., substrates, electrocatalyst loading amounts, geometric overpotentials, Tafel slopes, etc.) and (ii) electrochemical stability tests and post-analyses in X-ide OER electrocatalyst publications from 2013 to 2022 is provided. Both mono and polyanion X-ides are discussed and classified with respect to their material transformation during the OER. Special analytical techniques employed to study X-ide reconstruction are also evaluated. Additionally, future challenges and questions yet to be answered are provided in each section. This review aims to provide researchers with a toolkit to approach X-ide OER electrocatalyst research and to showcase necessary avenues for future investigation.

Abstract
In this study, we designed a CrNiCo-P/GCN composite for use as a high-performance multifunctional catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), electrochemical determination, and photodegradation of roxarsone (ROX). CrNiCo-P/GCN demonstrates favorable charge resistance and electrical conductance due to its intrinsic properties. It exhibits an admirable OER overpotential of 290 mV with a lower Tafel plot value of 125 mV dec-1 in alkaline media and compared with the control samples. Furthermore, this composite also demonstrates high performance in electrochemical sensing of ROX over a wide concentration range of 1-413 μM with a lower limit of detection (LOD) of 31 nM in phosphate buffer. Moreover, this composite is a promising electrocatalyst for ROX sensors in practical analysis and also possesses excellent photodegradation of ROX under visible light irradiation.

Abstract
The low efficiency of water electrolysis mostly arises from the thermodynamic uphill oxygen evolution reaction. The efficiency can be greatly improved by rationally designing low-cost and efficient oxygen evolution anode materials. Herein, we report the synthesis of Ni-P alloys adopting a facile electroless plating method under mild conditions on nickel substrates. The relationship between the Ni-P properties and catalytic activity allowed us to define the best conditions for the electroless synthesis of highperformance Ni-P catalysts. Indeed, the electrochemical investigations indicated an increased catalytic response by reducing the thickness and Ni/P ratio in the alloy. Furthermore, the Ni-P catalysts with optimized size and composition deposited on Ni foam exposed more active sites for the oxygen evolution reaction, yielding a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at an overpotential as low as 335 mV, exhibiting charge transfer resistances of only a few ohms and a remarkable turnover frequency (TOF) value of 0.62 s-1 at 350 mV. The present study provides an advancement in the control of the electroless synthetic approach for the design and large-scale application of high-performance metal phosphide catalysts for electrochemical water splitting.
