Abstract
Developing inexpensive and efficient catalysts for biomass hydrogenation or hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) is essential for efficient energy conversion. Transition metal phosphides (TMPs), with the merits of abundant active sites, unique physicochemical properties, tunable component structures, and excellent catalytic activities, are recognized as promising biomass hydrogenation or HDO catalytic materials. Nevertheless, the biomass hydrogenation or HDO catalytic applications of TMPs are still limited by various complexities and inherent performance bottlenecks, and thus their future development and utilization remain to be systematically sorted out and further explored. This review summarizes the current popular strategies for the preparation of TMPs. Subsequently, based on the structural and electronic properties of TMPs, the catalytic activity origins of TMPs in biomass hydrogenation or HDO is elucidated. Additionally, the application of TMPs in efficient biomass hydrogenation or HDO catalysis, as well as highly targeted multiscale strategies to enhance the catalytic performance of TMPs, are comprehensively described. Finally, large-scale amplification synthesis, rational construction of TMP-based catalysts and in-depth study of the catalytic mechanism are also mentioned as challenges and future directions in this research field. Expectedly, this review can provide professional and targeted guidance for the rational design and practical application of TMPs biomass hydrogenation or HDO catalysts.

Abstract
The rational design of highly active and stable electrocatalysts toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is highly desirable but challenging in seawater electrolysis. Herein we propose a strategy of boron-doped three-dimensional Ni2P-MoO2 heterostructure microrod arrays that exhibit excellent catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution in both alkaline freshwater and seawater electrolytes. The incorporation of boron into Ni2P-MoO2 heterostructure microrod arrays could modulate the electronic properties, thereby accelerating the HER. Consequently, the B-Ni2P-MoO2 heterostructure microrod array electrocatalyst exhibits a superior catalyst activity for HER with low overpotentials of 155, 155, and 157 mV at a current density of 500 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH, 1 M KOH + NaCl, and 1 M KOH + seawater, respectively. It also exhibits exceptional performance for HER in natural seawater with a low overpotential of 248 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a long-lasting lifetime of over 100 h.
