Abstract
Heterostructures and the introduction of heterogeneous elements have been regarded as effective strategies to promote electrochemical performance. Herein, sulfur species are introduced by a simple hydrothermal vulcanization method, which constructs the open heterostructure Fe7S8/Mn(OH)2 as a bifunctional material. The open cordyceps-like morphology can make the material contact more sufficiently with the electrolyte, exposing a large number of reaction sites. Furthermore, the introduction of the heterogeneous element S successfully constructs a heterogeneous interface, the interface-modulated composite material consists of Mn atoms contributing the main density of states (DOS) near the Fermi energy level from the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which optimizes the adsorption energy of oxygen-containing intermediates during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process and reduces the reaction energy barrier, being conducive to the improvement of the material's electrochemical properties. As predicted, the Fe7S8/Mn(OH)2 material exhibits remarkable electrochemical properties, such as an overpotential of 202 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for the oxygen evolution reaction and even a specific capacitance of 2198 F g-1 at 1 A g-1. This work provides new insights into the role of introducing sulfur species and controlling the structure of the material, and exemplifies novel design ideas for developing bifunctional materials for energy storage and conversion.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 653:949-959. [PMID: 37776722 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.09.123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
Developing inexpensive, highly electrochemically active, and stable catalysts towards electrochemical studies remains challenge for researchers. In this regard, binder-free CoFe@PANI composite electrocatalyst is deposited on nickel foam (NF) substrate via successive electrodeposition of polyaniline (PANI) and CoFe-LDH at Room temperature (RT). As deposited binder-free CoFe@PANI electrocatalyst displays high electrocatalytic activity towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in alkaline media. In CoFe@PANI structure, interfacing of high-electron conducting PANI establishes strong interconnection with CoFe-LDH by tuning electronic structures, which accelerates the electrochemical performance towards OER and MOR. For OER, CoFe@PANI requires low overpotential (η10) of 237 mV to reach current density (Id) of 10 mA cm-2 and displays low Tafel slope value of 46 mV dec-1 in 1 M KOH solution. Also, it displayed specific Id of 120 mA cm-2, when it was tested for MOR in 1 M KOH with 0.5 M methanol solution. The superior electrocatalytic activity of CoFe@PANI is mainly ascribed to high electrochemical active surface area (ECSA), abundant active sites and fast electron transfer between electrocatalyst and electrode surface. Of note, the current work may open new era for design and development of non-precious highly active and stable hybrid electrocatalysts at RT for various applications.

Abstract
Iron (Fe) sites play a critical role in boosting the catalytic activity of transition metal layered double hydroxide (LDH) electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), but the contribution of the Fe content to the catalysis of Fe-doped LDHs is still not well understood. Herein, a series of two-dimensional (2D) Fe-doped MFe-LDHs (M = Co, Ni, Cu, and Mn) was synthesized via a general molecular self-assembly method to track the role of Fe in their electrocatalytic OER activities. Besides the revelation of the intrinsic activity trend of NiFe > CoFe > MnFe > CuFe, volcano-shaped relationships among the catalytic activity descriptors, i.e., overpotential, Tafel slope, and turnover frequency (TOF), and the Fe-content in MFe-LDHs, were identified. Specifically, a ∼20% Fe content resulted in the highest OER performance for the LDH, while excess Fe compromised its activity. A similar volcano relationship was determined between the intermediate adsorption and Fe content via operando impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements, and it was shown that the intermediate adsorption capacitance (CPEad) can be a new activity descriptor for electrocatalysts. In this work, we not only performed a systematic study on the role of Fe in 2D Fe-doped LDHs but also offer some new insights into the activity descriptors for electrocatalysts.

Abstract
![]()
Metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as
ideal electrode materials and precursors for electrochemical energy
storage and conversion (EESC) owing to their large specific surface
areas, highly tunable porosities, abundant active sites, and diversified
choices of metal nodes and organic linkers. Both MOF-based and MOF-derived
materials in powder form have been widely investigated in relation
to their synthesis methods, structure and morphology controls, and
performance advantages in targeted applications. However, to engage
them for energy applications, both binders and additives would be
required to form postprocessed electrodes, fundamentally eliminating
some of the active sites and thus degrading the superior effects of
the MOF-based/derived materials. The advancement of freestanding electrodes
provides a new promising platform for MOF-based/derived materials
in EESC thanks to their apparent merits, including fast electron/charge
transmission and seamless contact between active materials and current
collectors. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of freestanding
structures and MOF-based/derived materials, outstanding electrochemical
performance in EESC can be achieved, stimulating the increasing enthusiasm
in recent years. This review provides a timely and comprehensive overview
on the structural features and fabrication techniques of freestanding
MOF-based/derived electrodes. Then, the latest advances in freestanding
MOF-based/derived electrodes are summarized from electrochemical energy
storage devices to electrocatalysis. Finally, insights into the currently
faced challenges and further perspectives on these feasible solutions
of freestanding MOF-based/derived electrodes for EESC are discussed,
aiming at providing a new set of guidance to promote their further
development in scale-up production and commercial applications.

Abstract
The main bottlenecks of current Co-based cathodes are their relatively low capacity and inferior reversibility. Here, we report Fe decorated cobaltous hydroxide (FCO) nanoflakes with vastly improved capacity and cycling stability via an efficient surface activation approach, which function as an advanced cathode for Co-Zn batteries. In comparison with the pristine cobaltous hydroxide (CO), the FCO sample owns higher electrochemical reactivity and a larger electrochemical surface area, endowing it with impressive electrochemical properties.

Abstract
Herein, a transition metal dissolution-oxygen vacancy strategy, based on dissolution of highly oxidized transition metal species in alkaline electrolyte, was suggested to construct a high-performance amorphous Co(OH)2 /WOx (a-CoW) catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The surface reconstruction of a-CoW and its evolution were described by regulating oxygen vacancies. With continuous dissolution of W species, oxygen vacancies on the surface were generated rapidly, the surface reconstruction was promoted, and the OER performance was improved significantly. During the surface reconstruction, W species also played a role in electronic modulation for Co. Due to its rapid surface reconstruction, a-CoW exhibited excellent OER performance in alkaline electrolyte with an overpotential of 208 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and had long-term stability for at least 120 h. This work shows that the transition metal dissolution-oxygen vacancy strategy is effective for preparation of high-performance catalysts.

Abstract
Water electrolysis is considered to be one of the most promising technologies to produce clean fuels. However, its extensive realization critically depends on the progress in cost-effective and high-powered oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts. As a member of the big family of two-dimensional (2D) materials, nanostructured layered double hydroxides (nLDHs) have made significant processes and continuous breakthroughs for OER electrocatalysis. In this Review, the advancements in designing nLDHs for OER in recent years were discussed with a unique focus on their electronic modulations and in situ analysis on catalytic processes. After a brief discussion on different synthetic methodologies of nLDHs, including "bottom-up" and "top-down" approaches, the general strategies to enhance the catalytic performances of nLDHs reported so far were summarized, including compositional substitution, heteroatom doping, vacancy engineering, and amorphous/crystalline engineering. Furthermore, the in situ OER processes and mechanism analysis on engineering efficient nLDHs electrocatalysts were discussed. Finally, the research trends, perspectives, and challenges on designing nLDHs were also carefully outlined. This progress Review may offer enlightening experimental/theoretical guidance for designing highly catalytic active nLDHs and provide new directions to promote their future prosperity for practical utilization in water splitting.

Abstract
Materials derived from surface-mounted metal-organic frameworks (SURMOFs) are promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). A series of mixed-metal, heterostructured SURMOFs is fabricated by the facile layer-by-layer deposition method. The obtained materials reveal record-high electrocatalyst mass activities of ≈2.90 kA g-1 at an overpotential of 300 mV in 0.1 m KOH, superior to the benchmarking precious and nonprecious metal electrocatalysts. This property is assigned to the particular in situ self-reconstruction and self-activation of the SURMOFs during the immersion and the electrochemical treatment in alkaline aqueous electrolytes, which allows for the generation of NiFe (oxy)hydroxide electrocatalyst materials of specific morphology and microstructure.

Abstract
As a new type of crystalline porous material, the imidazole zeolite framework (ZIF) has attracted widespread attention due to its ultra-high surface area, large pore volume, and unique advantage of easy functionalization. Developing different methods to control the shape and composition of ZIF is very important for its practical application as catalyst. In recent years, nano-ZIF has been considered an electrode material with excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance, which provides a new way to research electrolyzed water. This review focuses on the morphological engineering of the original ZIF-67 and its derivatives (core-shell, hollow, and array structures) through doping (cation doping, anion doping, and co-doping), derivative composition engineering (metal oxide, phosphide, sulfide, selenide, and telluride), and the corresponding single-atom catalysis. Besides, combined with DFT calculations, it emphasizes the in-depth understanding of actual active sites and provides insights into the internal mechanism of enhancing the OER and proposes the challenges and prospects of ZIF-67 based electrocatalysts. We summarize the application of ZIF-67 and its derivatives in the OER for the first time, which has significantly guided research in this field.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF)-related derivatives have generated significant interest in numerous energy conversion and storage applications, such as adsorption, catalysis, and batteries. However, such materials' real-world applicability is hindered because of scalability and reproducibility issues as they are produced by multistep postsynthesis modification of MOFs, often with high-temperature carbonization and/or calcination. In this process, MOFs act as self-sacrificial templates to develop functional materials at the expense of severe mass loss, and the resultant materials exhibit complex process-performance relationships. In this work, we report the direct applicability of a readily synthesized and commercially available MOF, a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8), in a rechargeable zinc-air battery. The composite of cobalt-based ZIF-8 and platinum carbon black (ZIF-67@Pt/CB) prepared via facile solution mixing shows a promising bifunctional electrocatalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), the key charge and discharge mechanisms in a battery. ZIF-67@Pt/CB exhibits long OER/ORR activity durability, notably, a significantly enhanced ORR stability compared to Pt/CB, 85 versus 52%. Interestingly, a ZIF-67@Pt/CB-based battery delivers high performance with a power density of >150 mW cm-2 and long stability for 100 h of charge-discharge cyclic test runs. Such remarkable activities from as-produced ZIF-67 are attributed to the electrochemically driven in situ development of an active cobalt-(oxy)hydroxide nanophase and interfacial interaction with platinum nanoparticles. This work shows commercial feasibility of zinc-air batteries as MOF-cathode materials can be reproducibly synthesized in mass scale and applied as produced.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with large surface area, abundant coordination metal centers and tunable structures are regarded as promising electrocatalysts for the water splitting reaction. However, the less accessible active sites and poor stability of MOFs hinder their potential practical applications. Hierarchical double-layer hydroxide (LDH)/MOF electrocatalysts that combine the advantages of two materials are expected to overcome these drawbacks. Herein, we develop a simple and universal strategy, in situ pseudomorphic transformation, to construct hierarchical LDH/MOF electrocatalysts. Accordingly, ultra-thin Fe-Ni LDH nanosheets are in situ produced in the heterometallic MOF during the transformation process. Profiting from the abundant metal sites and the extended electron transport channel from the inserted ultra-thin LDH arrays, the hierarchical Fe-Ni LDH/MOFs exhibit striking electrochemical activities for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In particular, the as-synthesized Fe-Ni LDH/MOF-b2 delivers the best OER performance, exhibiting an ultralow overpotential (255 mV at 10 mA cm-2), minimum Tafel slope (24 mV dec-1) and outstanding cycling durability. Meanwhile, the evolution process of the hierarchical Fe-Ni LDH/MOF has been monitored with the controllable in situ semi-transformation strategy. This also provides an opportunity to decipher the original active species for the OER process. Mechanism analysis indicates that the bimetallic MOF and bimetallic LDH are both active species, and the excellent OER performance of hierarchical Fe-Ni LDH/MOF could be attributed to the effect of "a whole greater than the sum of the parts".

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have attracted tremendous research interest in widely spreading applications. Most notably, transition-metal-bearing LDHs are expected to serve as highly active electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to their layered structure combined with versatile compositions. Furthermore, reducing the thickness of platelet LDH crystals to nanometer or even molecular scale via cleavage or delamination provides an important clue to enhance the activity. In this review, recent progresses on rational design of LDH nanosheets are reviewed, including direct synthesis via traditional coprecipitation, homogeneous precipitation, and newly developed topochemical oxidation as well as chemical exfoliation of parent LDH crystals. In addition, diverse strategies are introduced to modulate their electrochemical activity by tuning the composition of host metal cations and intercalated counter-anions, and incorporating dopants, cavities, and single atoms. In particular, hybridizing LDHs with conductive components or in situ growing them on conductive substrates to produce freestanding electrodes can further enhance their intrinsic catalytic activity. A brief discussion on future research directions and prospects is also summarized.
