Abstract
Electrocatalysis holds the key to enhancing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of water splitting devices, thereby contributing to the advancement of hydrogen as a clean, sustainable energy carrier. This study focuses on the rational design of Ru nanoparticle catalysts supported on TiN (Ru NPs/TiN) for the hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline conditions. The as designed catalysts exhibit a high mass activity of 20 A mg-1Ru at an overpotential of 63 mV and long-term stability, surpassing the present benchmarks for commercial electrolyzers. Structural analysis highlights the effective modification of the Ru nanoparticle properties by the TiN substrate, while density functional theory calculations indicate strong adhesion of Ru particles to TiN substrates and advantageous modulation of hydrogen adsorption energies via particle-support interactions. Finally, we assemble an anion exchange membrane electrolyzer using the Ru NPs/TiN as the hydrogen evolution reaction catalyst, which operates at 5 A cm-2 for more than 1000 h with negligible degradation, exceeding the performance requirements for commercial electrolyzers. Our findings contribute to the design of efficient catalysts for water splitting by exploiting particle-support interactions.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2207623.

Abstract
Photocatalyst with excellent semiconductor properties is the key point to realize the efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE). As a representative binary metal sulfide (BMS) semiconductor, cadmium sulfide (CdS) possesses suitable bandgap of 2.4 eV and negative conduction band potential, which has a great potential to realize efficient visible-light PHE performance. In this work, CdS with unique cubic/hexagonal phase junction is facilely synthesized through a sulfur-rich butyldithiocarbamate acid (BDCA) solution process. The results illustrate that the phase junction can efficiently enhance the separation and transfer of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, resulting in an excellent PHE performance. In addition, the sulfur-rich property of BDCA solution leads to the absence of additional sulfur sources during the synthesis of CdS photocatalyst, which greatly simplifies the fabrication process. The optimal PHE rate of the BDCA-synthesized phase junction CdS photocatalyst is 7.294 mmol g-1 h-1 and exhibits a favorable photostability. Moreover, density function theory calculations indicated that the apparent redistribution of charge density in the cubic/hexagonal phase junction regions gives a suitable hydrogen adsorption capacity, which is responsible for the enhanced PHE activity.

Abstract
The demands for alternative energy have led researchers to find effective electrocatalysts in fuel cells and increase the efficiency of existing materials. This study presents new nanocatalysts based on two binary transition metal oxides (BTMOs) and their hybrid with reduced graphene oxide for methanol oxidation. Characterization of the introduced three-component composite, including cobalt manganese oxide (MnCo2O4), nickel cobalt oxide (NiCo2O4), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in the form of MnCo2O4/NiCo2O4/rGO (MNR), was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses. The alcohol oxidation capability of MnCo2O4/NiCo2O4 (MN) and MNR was evaluated in the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) process. The crucial role of rGO in improving the electrocatalytic properties of catalysts stems from its large active surface area and high electrical conductivity. The alcohol oxidation tests of MN and MNR showed an adequate ability to oxidize methanol. The better performance of MNR was due to the synergistic effect of MnCo2O4/NiCo2O4 and rGO. MN and MNR nanocatalysts, with a maximum current density of 14.58 and 24.76 mA/cm2 and overvoltage of 0.6 and 0.58 V, as well as cyclic stability of 98.3% and 99.7% (at optimal methanol concentration/scan rate of 20 mV/S), respectively, can be promising and inexpensive options in the field of efficient nanocatalysts for use in methanol fuel cell anodes.

Abstract
Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) have been the focus of future research because of their simple structure, abundant fuel sources, high energy conversion efficiency and low cost. Among the components in DMFC, the activity and stability of the cathode catalyst is the key to the performance and lifetime of the DMFCs. Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an important electrode reaction on DMFC cathode. It is known that Pt is widely used in the fabrication of ORR catalysts, but the limited earth storage of Pt and its high price limit the use of Pt-based commercial catalysts in DMFCs. To overcome these problems, advances have been made on new low Pt-based catalysts and Pt-free catalysts in recent years. In this article, the development of novel ORR catalysts and the carbon supports is reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
Ethanol as a fuel for direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) has the advantages of being highly energetic, environmentally friendly, and low-cost, while the slow anodic ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR), intermediate poisoning effect, and incomplete oxidation of ethanol became obstacles to the development of DEFCs. Herein, a 2D ternary cyclic Pd3 Pt1 Rh0.1 nanorings (NRs) catalyst with efficient EOR performance is prepared via a facile one-pot solvothermal approach, and systematic studies are carried out to reveal the mechanisms of the enhanced performance and C-C bond selectivity. In particular, the optimized catalyst exhibits impressive mass activity, stability, toxicity resistance, and C-C bond cleavage ability. It's proposed that the considerable performance is attributed to the unique hollow structure, providing abundant active sites. The high toxicity resistance is not only attributed to the electronic modulation of the catalyst material by Rh atoms, but also depends on the excellent water activation properties of Rh, which contribute to the removal of intermediates, such as CO. In addition, the density functional theory calculations showed that the introduction of Rh significantly enhances the C-C bond cleavage ability of the catalyst, further improving the EOR activity.

Abstract
Tuning the metal support interaction (MSI) in heterogeneous catalysts is of utmost importance for various applications in different catalysis reactions. Pt-TiN systems are strong contenders for commercial catalysts, although the charge screening of Pt and non-involvement of N reduces their effective MSI and limits it to the Pt-Ti interface. Here, the bias driven landing of gas phase synthesized Pt nanoparticles (NPs) is used to change the nature of the MSI and enhance the charge transfer phenomenon. Bias driven landing of the Pt NPs translates their impact energies to the TiN surface, resulting in a weakening of the Ti-N bonds. This facilitates a new interaction between the Pt and N atoms, resulting in an electronic equilibration in the N-Pt-Ti triumvirate, nullifying the charge screening of Pt. This change in the nature of the MSI enables long range charge transfer throughout the catalyst surface and an increase in the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of the Pt-TiN system.

Abstract
Metal nitrides are broadly applicable in the field of electrochemistry due to their excellent electrical properties. In this study, a 3D nanostructured Ni3N-Co3N catalyst was prepared by using a versatile urea glass method, and was tested as an anode catalyst for a glucose fuel cell. The synthesized Ni3N-Co3N exhibits uniform particle dispersion in structure, morphology, and composition, and has a interpenetrating three-dimensional network structure. Notably, the Ni3N-Co3N significantly improved the catalytic activity of glucose oxidation compared to Ni3N, Co3N, and conventional activated carbon electrodes. The superior electrochemical performance could be attributed to its porous structure and unique properties, which provided a fast transport network for charge and mass transfer as well as good synergetic effect. The glucose fuel cell equipped with a Ni3N-Co3N anode achieved 30.89 W m-2 power and 97.66 A m-2 current densities at room temperature. This investigation provides potential directions for the design of cost-effective bimetallic catalysts for a wide range of glucose fuel cell applications.
