Abstract
Descriptors play a crucial role in electrocatalysis as they can provide valuable insights into the electrochemical performance of energy conversion and storage processes. They allow for the understanding of different catalytic activities and enable the prediction of better catalysts without relying on the time-consuming trial-and-error approaches. Hence, this comprehensive review focuses on highlighting the significant advancements in commonly used descriptors for critical electrocatalytic reactions. First, the fundamental reaction processes and key intermediates involved in several electrocatalytic reactions are summarized. Subsequently, three types of descriptors are classified and introduced based on different reactions and catalysts. These include d-band center descriptors, readily accessible intrinsic property descriptors, and spin-related descriptors, all of which contribute to a profound understanding of catalytic behavior. Furthermore, multi-type descriptors that collectively determine the catalytic performance are also summarized. Finally, we discuss the future of descriptors, envisioning their potential to integrate multiple factors, broaden application scopes, and synergize with artificial intelligence for more efficient catalyst design and discovery.

Porous Flower-Like Nanoarchitectures Derived from Nickel Phosphide Nanocrystals Anchored on Amorphous Vanadium Phosphate Nanosheet Nanohybrids for Superior Overall Water Splitting. SMALL METHODS 2024; 8:e2301279.

Abstract
Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) and phosphates (TM-Pis) nanostructures are promising functional materials for energy storage and conversion. Nonetheless, controllable synthesis of crystalline/amorphous heterogeneous TMPs/TM-Pis nanohybrids or related nanoarchitectures remains challenging, and their electrocatalytic applications toward overall water splitting (OWS) are not fully explored. Herein, the Ni2P nanocrystals anchored on amorphous V-Pi nanosheet based porous flower-like nanohybrid architectures that are self-supported on carbon cloth (CC) substrate (Ni2P/V-Pi/CC) are fabricated by conformal oxidation and phosphorization of pre-synthesized NiV-LDH/CC. Due to the unique microstructures and strong synergistic effects of crystalline Ni2P and amorphous V-Pi components, the obtained Ni2P/V-Pi/CC owns abundant active sites, suitable surface/interface electronic structure and optimized adsorption-desorption of reaction intermediates, resulting in outstanding electrocatalytic performances toward hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions in alkaline media. Correspondingly, the assembled Ni2P/V-Pi/CC||Ni2P/V-Pi/CC electrolyzer only needs an ultralow cell voltage (1.44 V) to deliver 10 mA cm-2 water-splitting currents, exceeding its counterparts, recently reported bifunctional catalysts-based devices, and Pt/C/CC||IrO2/CC pairs. Moreover, the Ni2P/V-Pi/CC||Ni2P/V-Pi/CC manifests remarkable stability. Also, such device shows a certain prospect for OWS in acidic media. This work may spur the development of TMPs/TMPis-based nanohybrid architectures by combining structure and phase engineering, and push their applications in OWS or other clean energy options.

Abstract
The correlations between the experimental methods and catalytic activities are urgent to be defined for the design of highly efficient catalysts. In this work, a new oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalyst of high-entropy oxide (HEO) FeCoNiZrOx was designed and analyzed by experimental and theoretical methods. On account of the shortened coordinate bond along with the increased annealing temperature, the atomic/electronic structures of active site were adjusted quantitatively with the aid of the pre-designed correlator of d electron density, which contributed to adjust the catalytic activity of HEO specimens. The prepared HEO specimen exhibited the low overpotentials of 245 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and 288 mV at 100 mA cm-2 with small Tafel slope of 35.66 mV dec-1, fast charge transfer rate, and stable electrocatalytic activity. This strategy would be adopted to improve the catalytic activity of HEO by adjusting the d electron density of transition metal ions with suitable preparation method.

Abstract
Spinel-type metal oxides are promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to their unique electronic structure and low cost. Herein, we induced oxygen vacancies and doped phosphorus into CoFe2O4 using cold plasma. The abundant oxygen vacancies enhanced hydrophilicity and modified the electronic structure of CoFe2O4, while the phosphorus doping formed numerous new active centers. The doped P and formed FeP promoted the charge transfer and improved the conductivity of the catalyst. The phosphorus-doped CoFe2O4 exhibited exceptional OER activity with an overpotential of 180 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 65.8 mV dec-1 in an alkaline electrolyte. DFT calculations confirmed that phosphorus doping can improve the charge distribution near the Fermi level and optimize the d-band center position.

Abstract
The development of non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts with high performance for hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction is highly desirable in advancing electrocatalytic water-splitting technology but proves to be challenging. One promising way to improve the catalytic activity is to tailor the d-band center. This approach can facilitate the adsorption of intermediates and promote the formation of active species on surfaces. This review summarizes the role and development of the d-band center of materials based on iron-series metals used in electrocatalytic water splitting. It mainly focuses on the influence of the change in the d-band centers of different composites of iron-based materials on the performance of electrocatalysis. First, the iron-series compounds that are commonly used in electrocatalytic water splitting are summarized. Then, the main factors affecting the electrocatalytic performances of these materials are described. Furthermore, the relationships among the above factors and the d-band centers of materials based on iron-series metals and the d-band center theory are introduced. Finally, conclusions and perspectives on remaining challenges and future directions are given. Such information can be helpful for adjusting the active centers of catalysts and improving electrochemical efficiencies in future works.

Abstract
The efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst materials are crucial in the energy research domain due to their tunability. Structural modification in perovskites such as lanthanum cerates (LaCeO3) upon doping at A or B sites significantly affects the surface activity and enhances the catalysis efficacy. Herein, B-site nickel-doped lanthanum cerate (LaCe1-xNixO3±δ) nanopowders were applied as ORR indicators in high-temperature electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) tests and in cyclic voltammetric OER investigations in alkaline medium. The integration into SOFC applications, via solid-state EIS in a co-pressed three-layered cell with LCNiO as cathode, is investigated in an oxygen-methane environment and reveals augmented conductivity with temperatures of 700-850°C. The higher electrokinetic parameters-including diffusion coefficients, Do heterogeneous rate constant, ko, and peak current density for OER in KOH-methanol at a LCNiO-9-modified glassy carbon electrode-serve as robust gauges of catalytic performance. CV indicators and EIS conductivities of LaCe1-xNixO3±δ nanomaterials indicate promising potencies for electrocatalytic energy applications.

Abstract
Water electrolysis is one of the attractive technologies for producing clean and sustainable hydrogen fuels with high purity. Among the various kinds of water electrolysis systems, anion exchange membrane water electrolysis has received much attention by combining the advantages of alkaline water electrolysis and proton exchange membrane water electrolysis. However, the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction, which is based on multiple and complex reaction mechanisms, is regarded as a major obstacle for the development of high-efficiency water electrolysis. Therefore, the development of high-performance oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts is a prerequisite for the commercialization and wide application of water electrolysis systems. This mini review highlights the current progress of representative oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts that are based on a perovskite structure in alkaline media. We first summarize the research status of various kinds of perovskite-based oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts, reaction mechanisms and activity descriptors. Finally, the challenges facing the development of perovskite-based oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts and a perspective on their future are discussed.

Abstract
The development of highly efficient non-precious metal electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in low-grade or saline water is currently of great importance for the large-scale production of hydrogen. In this study, by using an electrochemical activation pretreatment, metal oxy(hydroxide) nanosheet structures derived from self-supported nickel-iron phosphide and nitride nanoarrays grown on Ni foam are successfully fabricated for OER catalysis in saline water. It is demonstrated that the different NiOOH and NiOOH@FeOOH (NiOOH grown on FeOOH) structures are generated from nickel-iron nitride and phosphide, respectively, after electrochemical activation. In particular, the NiOOH@FeOOH heteroarchitecture shows outstanding electrocatalytic performance with an ultralow overpotential of 292 mV to drive the current density of 500 mA cm-2 . An unconventional dual-sites mechanism (UDSM) is proposed to address the OER process on NiOOH@FeOOH and show that the FeOOH underlayer plays a critical role regarding the enhanced OER activity of NiOOH. The new possible UDSM involving two reaction sites presents a different understanding of the OER process on multi-OH layer complexes, which is expected to guide the design of heteroarchitecture electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Noble metals have been extensively employed as high active catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), are usually subjected to serious surface transformation and poor structural stability, especially in acid media, which need imperatively remedied. Herein, the interfacial engineering of Ru via few-layer carbon (Ru@FLC) was carried out, in which FLC can significantly suppress the corrosion of Ru in acid media, ensuring the efficient interfacial charge transport between Ru and FLC. As a result, a low overpotentials@10 mA cm-2 of 258 mV and small Tafel slopes of 53.1 mV dec-1 for oxygen evolution OER were achieved in acid media. DFT calculations disclose that outer FLC could induce charge redistribution and effectively optimize intermediates free energy adsorption, resulting in greatly reduce the energy barrier for OER. Our work may offer a new avenue to produce progressive OER electrocatalysts for energy-related applications in acid solution.

Abstract
Perovskite is a promising non-noble catalyst and has been widely investigated for the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, there is still serious lack of valid approaches to further enhance their catalytic performance. Herein, we propose a spin state modulation strategy to improve the OER electrocatalytic activity of typical perovskite material of LaCoO3 . Specifically, the electronic configuration transition was realized by a simple high temperature thermal reduction process. M-H hysteresis loop results reveal that the reduction treatment can produce more unpaired electrons in 3d orbit by promoting the electron transitions of Co from low spin state to high spin state, and thus lead to the increase of the spin polarization. Electrochemical measurements show that the catalytic performance of LaCoO3 is strongly dependent on its electronic configuration. With the optimized reduction treatment, the overpotential for the OER process in 0.5 M KOH electrolyte solution at 10 mA cm-2 current density was 396 mV, significantly lower than that of the original state. Furthermore, it can mediate efficient OER with an overpotential of 383 mV under an external magnetic field, which is attributed to the appropriate electron filling. Our results show that electron spin state regulation is a new way to boost the OER electrocatalytic activity.

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
Perovskite oxides are studied as electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reactions (OER) because of their low cost, tunable structure, high stability, and good catalytic activity. However, there are two main challenges for most perovskite oxides to be efficient in OER, namely less active sites and low electrical conductivity, leading to limited catalytic performance. To overcome these intrinsic obstacles, various strategies are developed to enhance their catalytic activities in OER. In this review, the recent developments of these strategies is comprehensively summarized and systematically discussed, including composition engineering, crystal facet control, morphology modulation, defect engineering, and hybridization. Finally, perspectives on the design of perovskite oxide-based electrocatalysts for practical applications in OER are given.

Abstract
Oxide perovskites have emerged as an important class of materials with important applications in many technological areas, particularly thermocatalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and energy storage. However, their implementation faces numerous challenges that are familiar to the chemist and materials scientist. The present work surveys the state-of-the-art by integrating these two viewpoints, focusing on the critical role that defect engineering plays in the design, fabrication, modification, and application of these materials. An extensive review of experimental and simulation studies of the synthesis and performance of oxide perovskites and devices containing these materials is coupled with exposition of the fundamental and applied aspects of defect equilibria. The aim of this approach is to elucidate how these issues can be integrated in order to shed light on the interpretation of the data and what trajectories are suggested by them. This critical examination has revealed a number of areas in which the review can provide a greater understanding. These include considerations of (1) the nature and formation of solid solutions, (2) site filling and stoichiometry, (3) the rationale for the design of defective oxide perovskites, and (4) the complex mechanisms of charge compensation and charge transfer. The review concludes with some proposed strategies to address the challenges in the future development of oxide perovskites and their applications.

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
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen evolution reaction occurred at the anode and cathode, which depends on the electronic structure, morphology, electrochemically active surface area, and charge-transfer resistance of the electrocatalyst. Transition metals like cobalt, nickel, and iron have better OER and oxygen reduction reaction activities. At the same time, transition-metal oxide/carbon hybrid has several applications in electrochemical energy conversion reactions. The rich catalytic site of transition metals and the excellent conductivity of carbon material make these materials as a hopeful electrocatalyst in OER. Carbon-incorporated LaFe0.8Co0.2O3 was prepared by a simple solution combustion method for the development of the best performance of the electrocatalyst. The catalyst can deliver 10 mA/cm2 current density at an overpotential of 410 mV with better catalytic stability. The introduction of carbon material improves the dispersion ability of the catalyst and the electrical conductivity. The Tafel slope and onset potential of the best catalyst are 49.1 mV/dec and 1.55 V, respectively.

Abstract
Perovskite oxides are at the forefront of the race to develop catalysts/electrodes for fuel cells and electrolyzers. This work presents trifunctional properties of the double-perovskite oxide PrBa0.5 Sr0.5 Co1.5 Fe0.5 O5+δ and the PrBa0.5 Sr0.5 Co1.5 Fe0.5 O5+δ -Ag composite prepared by the glycine nitrate process. The electrocatalytic studies reveal that the Ag-based composite is an excellent catalyst for both oxygen evolution (OER) and hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) in alkaline solution. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis through distribution function of relaxation times (DFRT) suggests that the improved activity originates from the suppression of resistance contributed by various relaxation processes. The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics in these oxide-based cathodes has been studied by performing symmetric-cell measurements at high temperatures using both oxygen-ion and proton-conducting cells. DC bias dependence of charge-transfer processes, oxygen-surface kinetics, polarization resistances, and activation energies are revealed by DFRT studies. Ag addition in PrBa0.5 Sr0.5 Co1.5 Fe0.5 O5+δ leads to enhanced kinetics of OER, HER, and ORR.

Abstract
Graphene based materials are considered as promising catalysts towards electro-catalytic water splitting. Heteroatoms doping and structure defects creation in graphene matrix could enhance the electro-catalytic activity effectively. In this work, a nitrogen and sulfur co-doped graphene is synthesized and then activated by KOH to involve a porous structure. The atomic ratios of doped heteroatoms are found increased surprisingly. This should be due to the better thermal stability of doped heteroatoms compared with the origin carbon atoms. More carbon atoms will be removed, thus leading to the increased heteroatoms doping percentages. The increased surface area, larger heteroatoms ratios, and abundant structure defects result in the improved catalytic activity towards electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The overpotential for OER could achieve as early as 281 mV vs. RHE at 10 mA·cm-2 in 1 M KOH, better than most of the metal free catalysts. The obtained sample is active over a wide pH range in electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), thus could be used as bifunctional materials for water splitting. This work provides a simple and low-cost approach to increase the ratios of doped heteroatoms, and thus should have great potential both for carbon materials synthesis and hydrogen production.
