Abstract
Water electrolysis is an important alternative technology for large-scale hydrogen production to facilitate the development of green energy technology. As such, many efforts have been devoted over the past three decades to producing novel electrocatalysis with strong electrochemical (EC) performance using inexpensive electrocatalysts. Transition metal oxyhydroxide (OxH)-based electrocatalysts have received substantial interest, and prominent results have been achieved for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under alkaline conditions. Herein, the extensive research focusing on the discussion of OxH-based electrocatalysts is comprehensively highlighted. The general forms of the water-splitting mechanism are described to provide a profound understanding of the mechanism, and their scaling relation activities for OxH electrode materials are given. This paper summarizes the current developments on the EC performance of transition metal OxHs, rare metal OxHs, polymers, and MXene-supported OxH-based electrocatalysts. Additionally, an outline of the suggested HER, OER, and water-splitting processes on transition metal OxH-based electrocatalysts, their primary applications, existing problems, and their EC performance prospects are discussed. Furthermore, this review article discusses the production of energy sources from the proton and electron transfer processes. The highlighted electrocatalysts have received substantial interest to boost the synergetic electrochemical effects to improve the economy of the use of hydrogen, which is one of best ways to fulfill the global energy requirements and address environmental crises. This article also provides useful information regarding the development of OxH electrodes with a hierarchical nanostructure for the water-splitting reaction. Finally, the challenges with the reaction and perspectives for the future development of OxH are elaborated.

Abstract
Design and development of efficient, economical, and durable electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are of key importance for the realization of electrocatalytic water splitting. To date, VB2 and its derivatives have not been considered as electrocatalysts for water oxidation. Herein, we developed a series of electrocatalysts with a formal composition of V1-xCoxB2 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2) and employed them in an oxygen-evolving reaction. The incorporation of Co into the VB2 structure caused a dramatic transformation in the morphology, resulting in a super low overpotential of 200 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for V0.9Co0.1B2 and displaying much greater performance compared to the noble-metal catalyst RuO2 (290 mV). The longevity of the best-performing sample was assessed through the exposure to the current density of 10 mA cm-2, showing relative durability after 12 h under 1 M KOH conditions. The Faradaic efficiency tests corroborated the initiation of OER at 1.45 V (vs RHE) and suggested a potential region of 1.50-1.55 V (vs RHE) as the practical OER region. The facile electron transfer between metal(s)-metalloid, high specific surface area, and availability of active oxy-hydroxy species on the surface were identified as the major contributors to this superior OER performance.

Abstract
Electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen is crucial for developing sustainable clean energy and protecting the environment. However, because of the multi-electron transfer in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process, the kinetics of the reaction is seriously hindered. To address this issue, we designed and synthesized hollow CoP/FeP4 heterostructural nanorods interwoven by carbon nanotubes (CoP/FeP4@CNT) via a hydrothermal reaction and a phosphorization process. The CoP/FeP4@CNT hybrid catalyst delivers prominent OER electrochemical performances: it displays a substantially smaller Tafel slope of 48.0 mV dec−1 and a lower overpotential of 301 mV at 10 mA cm−2, compared with an RuO2 commercial catalyst; it also shows good stability over 20 h. The outstanding OER property is mainly attributed to the synergistic coupling between its unique CNT-interwoven hollow nanorod structure and the CoP/FeP4 heterojunction, which can not only guarantee high conductivity and rich active sites, but also greatly facilitate the electron transfer, ion diffusion, and O2 gas release and significantly enhance its electrocatalytic activity. This work offers a facile method to develop transition metal-based phosphide heterostructure electrocatalysts with a unique hierarchical nanostructure for high performance water oxidation.
