Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysts have attracted extensive attention among various emerging catalysts for their exceptional oxygen evolution reaction (OER) capabilities, outperforming their single-component counterparts. Nonetheless, the synthesis of heterogeneous materials with predictable, precise, and facile control remains a formidable challenge. Herein, a novel strategy involving the decoration of catalysts with CeO2 is introduced to concurrently engineer heterogeneous interfaces and adjust phase composition, thereby enhancing OER performance. Theoretical calculations suggest that the presence of ceria reduces the free energy barrier for the conversion of nitrides into metals. Supporting this, the experimental findings reveal that the incorporation of rare earth oxides enables the controlled phase transition from nitride into metal, with the proportion adjustable by varying the amount of added rare earth. Thanks to the role of CeO2 decoration in promoting the reaction kinetics and fostering the formation of the genuine active phase, the optimized Ni3FeN/Ni3Fe/CeO2-5% nanoparticles heterostructure catalyst exhibits outstanding OER activity, achieving an overpotential of just 249 mV at 10 mA cm-2. This approach offers fresh perspectives for the conception of highly efficient heterogeneous OER catalysts, contributing a strategic avenue for advanced catalytic design in the field of energy conversion.

NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2024; 16:115. [PMID: 38353749 PMCID: PMC10866855 DOI: 10.1007/s40820-024-01331-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
The metal-lightweighted electrocatalysts for water splitting are highly desired for sustainable and economic hydrogen energy deployments, but challengeable. In this work, a low-content Ni-functionalized approach triggers the high capability of black phosphorene (BP) with hydrogen and oxygen evolution reaction (HER/OER) bifunctionality. Through a facile in situ electro-exfoliation route, the ionized Ni sites are covalently functionalized in BP nanosheets with electron redistribution and controllable metal contents. It is found that the as-fabricated Ni-BP electrocatalysts can drive the water splitting with much enhanced HER and OER activities. In 1.0 M KOH electrolyte, the optimized 1.5 wt% Ni-functionalized BP nanosheets have readily achieved low overpotentials of 136 mV for HER and 230 mV for OER at 10 mA cm-2. Moreover, the covalently bonding between Ni and P has also strengthened the catalytic stability of the Ni-functionalized BP electrocatalyst, stably delivering the overall water splitting for 50 h at 20 mA cm-2. Theoretical calculations have revealed that Ni-P covalent binding can regulate the electronic structure and optimize the reaction energy barrier to improve the catalytic activity effectively. This work confirms that Ni-functionalized BP is a suitable candidate for electrocatalytic overall water splitting, and provides effective strategies for constructing metal-lightweighted economic electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Transition metal borides, carbides, pnictides, and chalcogenides (X-ides) have emerged as a class of materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Because of their high earth abundance, electrical conductivity, and OER performance, these electrocatalysts have the potential to enable the practical application of green energy conversion and storage. Under OER potentials, X-ide electrocatalysts demonstrate various degrees of oxidation resistance due to their differences in chemical composition, crystal structure, and morphology. Depending on their resistance to oxidation, these catalysts will fall into one of three post-OER electrocatalyst categories: fully oxidized oxide/(oxy)hydroxide material, partially oxidized core@shell structure, and unoxidized material. In the past ten years (from 2013 to 2022), over 890 peer-reviewed research papers have focused on X-ide OER electrocatalysts. Previous review papers have provided limited conclusions and have omitted the significance of "catalytically active sites/species/phases" in X-ide OER electrocatalysts. In this review, a comprehensive summary of (i) experimental parameters (e.g., substrates, electrocatalyst loading amounts, geometric overpotentials, Tafel slopes, etc.) and (ii) electrochemical stability tests and post-analyses in X-ide OER electrocatalyst publications from 2013 to 2022 is provided. Both mono and polyanion X-ides are discussed and classified with respect to their material transformation during the OER. Special analytical techniques employed to study X-ide reconstruction are also evaluated. Additionally, future challenges and questions yet to be answered are provided in each section. This review aims to provide researchers with a toolkit to approach X-ide OER electrocatalyst research and to showcase necessary avenues for future investigation.

Abstract
In this study, zinc vanadate/reduced graphene oxide (Zn3V2O8/rGO) composite has been synthesized via a simple approach. Advanced characterization techniques (powder X-ray, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy) have been used to authenticate the formation of Zn3V2O8/rGO composite. Subsequently, Zn3V2O8/rGO was applied as photo-catalyst for hydrogen generation using photo-catalysis. The Zn3V2O8/rGO photo-catalyst exhibited a good hydrogen generation amount of 104.6 µmolg−1. The Zn3V2O8/rGO composite also demonstrates excellent cyclic stability which indicated better reusability of the photo-catalyst (Zn3V2O8/rGO). This work proposes a new photo-catalyst for H2 production application. We believe that the presence of synergistic interactions was responsible for the improved photo-catalytic properties of Zn3V2O8/rGO composite. The Zn3V2O8/rGO composite is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective photo-catalyst and can be used for photo-catalytic applications.

Abstract
Exploring highly active, stable, and low-cost catalysts for photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (PE-HER) is vital in the field of energy conversion. Herein, we construct a new amorphous crystalline interface that amorphous iron-based spinel oxide (A-MFe2O4 (M = Ni, Co, Zn)) is uniformly anchored on the crystalline exfoliated black phosphorus (C-EBP) nanosheets via electrochemical and solvothermal strategies. Among these A-MFe2O4@C-EBP catalysts, more oxygen defects of A-NiFe2O4@C-EBP interface provide a larger effective electrochemical active area of 32.33 mF cm-2 as well as a turnover frequency of 0.44 s-1 and allow for an optimum equilibrium of the hydrogen-containing adsorption intermediates. Furthermore, A-NiFe2O4@C-EBP exhibits significant PE-HER performance with an overpotential of 42 mV at 10 mA cm-2 under visible-light irradiation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the amorphous-crystalline composite structure causes a large number of oxygen defects enhancing the intrinsic activity of A-NiFe2O4@C-EBP, which A-NiFe2O4@C-EBP significantly improves its adsorption capacity for H* for HER and has the lowest Gibbs free energy change for HER. This study not only provides a superior multifunctional amorphous-crystalline interface catalysts but also helps to understand the catalytic mechanism of PE-HER.

Abstract
Sensitive and accurate detection technology for pathogenic bacteria is of great social and economic significance in foodborne disease and food safety. In this paper, a novel portable electrochemical DNA biosensor for the detection of specific DNA sequence of Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157: H7 was constructed. To enhance the performance of the electrochemical sensor, a functionalized nitrogen-doped carbonized polymer dots in-situ grown on few-layer black phosphorus (N-CPDs@FLBP) was synthesized and used as the modifier on the surface of screen-printed electrode. Combining gold nanoparticles as immobilization matrix and methylene blue as electrochemical indicator, the analytical performance of this electrochemical DNA biosensor was evaluated using standard complementary ssDNA sequence in the linear concentration range from 1.0 × 10-19 to 1.0 × 10-6 mol/L with a low detection limit as 3.33 × 10-20 mol/L (3 σ). Furthermore, the portable electrochemical DNA biosensor was proposed based on polymerase chain reaction amplification for the detection of the E. coli O157: H7 genomic DNA from chicken meat, which verified the feasibility for practical samples detection. The research has great theoretical and practical significance for the development of electrochemical biosensor of pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
Developing an efficient and non-precious pH-universal hydrogen evolution reaction electrocatalyst is highly desirable for hydrogen production by electrochemical water splitting but remains a significant challenge. Herein, a hierarchical structure composed of heterostructured Ni2 P-Ni12 P5 nanorod arrays rooted on Ni3 S2 film (Ni2 P-Ni12 P5 @Ni3 S2 ) via a simultaneous corrosion and sulfidation is built followed by a phosphidation treatment toward the metallic nickel foam. The combination of theoretical calculations with in/ex situ characterizations unveils that such a unique sequential phase conversion strategy ensures the strong interfacial coupling between Ni2 P and Ni12 P5 as well as the robust stabilization of 1D heteronanorod arrays by Ni3 S2 film, resulting in the promoted water adsorption/dissociation energy, the optimized hydrogen adsorption energy, and the enhanced electron/proton transfer ability accompanied with an excellent stability. Consequently, Ni2 P-Ni12 P5 @Ni3 S2 /NF requires only 32, 46, and 34 mV overpotentials to drive 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 m KOH, 0.5 m H2 SO4 , and 1.0 m phosphate-buffered saline electrolytes, respectively, exceeding almost all the previously reported non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts. This work may pave a new avenue for the rational design of non-precious electrocatalysts toward pH-universal hydrogen evolution catalysis.

Abstract
Black phosphorus (BP) is unique among 2D materials due to its anisotropic puckered structure. It has been used as a multifunctional catalyst for various purposes. In this study, we performed first principles molecular dynamics simulations to understand the water-splitting reaction on a bi-layer BP surface. We focused on the site-specific aqueous reactivity of the buckled surface. A difference in the axis-dependent reactivity is observed owing to edge defects and exposed sites. Thus, we believe that BP edges, which significantly affect the interfacial water or organic solvent molecules, must exhibit very different edge-dependent reactivity. Experiments suggested the increasing catalytic efficiency of undisturbed BP in the order bulk, few-layered BP, and BP quantum dots. We choose three active sites to investigate the mechanistic details of the OER: the zigzag (ZZ), armchair (AC), and bulk sites. This study will provide insight into the enhanced catalytic activity when more edges are exposed as the active surface. We hope to clarify the reactive pathway in an aqueous solution supported by bi-layer BP by exploring the two different mechanisms for forming the OOH* complex. We explore and report two mechanisms: a simple push-pull reaction for oxygen-oxygen bond formation, the nucleophilic attack by formed OH- and an attack by a water molecule. The free energy barriers procured for mechanism 1 taking place at the zigzag, armchair, and bulk sites are 7.59 ± 0.33, 9.04 ± 0.01, and 12.80 ± 0.09 kcal mol-1, respectively. For mechanism 2 the free energy barriers are 7.62 ± 0.11, 9.15 ± 0.16, and 11.63 ± 0.11 kcal mol-1 for the ZZ, AC, and bulk sites. The interlink between both the mechanisms is established concerning the reported free energy barriers for OOH* formation. The ZZ site is found to lower the activation barrier for the rate-determining step, followed by the AC and bulk.

Abstract
Exploiting effective electrocatalysts based on elaborate heterostructures for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has been considered as a promising strategy for boosting water splitting efficiency to produce the clean energy-hydrogen. However, constructing catalytically active heterostructures with novel composition and architecture remains poorly developed due to the synthetic challenge. In this work, it is demonstrated that unique Ni(CN)2 /NiSe2 heterostructures, composed of single-crystalline Ni(CN)2 nanoplates surrounded by crystallographically aligned NiSe2 nanosatellites, can be created from nickel-based Hofmann-type coordination polymers through stepwise topochemical pathways. When employed as the OER electrocatalyst, the Ni(CN)2 /NiSe2 heterostructures show enhanced performance, which could be attributed to optimized geometric and electronic structures of the catalytic sites endowed by the synergy between the two components. This work demonstrates a rational synthetic route for creating a novel Ni-based OER electrocatalyst that possesses nanoscale heterostructure, whose composition, spatial organization, and interface configuration can be finely manipulated.

Abstract
To replace Pt-based compounds in the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), MoS2 has already been established as an efficient catalyst. The electrocatalytic activity of MoS2 is further improved by tuning the morphology and the electronic structure through doping, which helps the band energy position to be modified. Presently, thin sheets of MoS2 (MoS2-TSs) are synthesized via a microwave technique. Thin sheets of MoS2 can outperform nanosheets of MoS2 in the HER. Further, the efficiency of the thin sheets is improved by doping with different metals like Cu, V, Zn, Mn, Fe, Sn, etc. "Cu"- and "V"-doped MoS2-TSs are highly efficient for the HER. At a fixed potential of -0.588 V vs RHE, Cu-doped MoS2 (Cu-MoS2-TS), V-doped MoS2 (V-MoS2-TS), and MoS2-TS can generate current densities of 327.46, 308.45, and 127.82 mA/cm2, respectively. The electrochemically active surface area increases nearly 7.7-fold and 2.5-fold for Cu-MoS2-TS and V-MoS2-TS than for MoS2-TS, respectively. Cu-MoS2-TS shows exceptionally high electrocatalytic stability up to 140 h in an acidic medium (0.5 M H2SO4). First-principles calculations using density functional theory (DFT) are performed, which are well matched with the experimental observations. DFT calculations dictate that after doping with "V" and "Cu" both valance band maxima and conduction band minima are uplifted, which indicates the higher hydrogen-ion-reducing ability of M-MoS2-TS (M = Cu, V) compared to bare MoS2-TS.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have exhibited huge potential in electrocatalytic fields. However, the intrinsic low conductivity and the blockage of metal active sites by organic linkers still seriously hinder their large-scale application. In this study, as a proof of principle, constructing cofacial π-π stacking in the terminal ligand (4,4'-bipyridine) of a Ni/Fe-chain-based MOF to fabricate strong π-π interaction, in combination with unique hexagonal nanorod (HXR) structure, is found to be an effective strategy to enhance one-dimensional charge carrier efficiency and thus achieve excellent activity in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The approach yields a high turnover frequency (4.54 s-1 ) in well-designed bimetallic chain-based MOFs (NiFe-HXR) at an overpotential of 350 mV, which is about 8.7 and 34.9 times higher than those in Ni-HXR (0.52 s-1 ) and IrO2 (0.13 s-1 ), respectively. This work effectively combines "through-bond" channel in chain-based structure of NiFe-HXR and "through-space" transport between face-to-face terminal ligands, thus resulting in outstanding OER activity. This strategy of modulating the structure chemistry and morphology of MOFs to promote the OER may open a new perspective to synthesize MOFs for energy-relevant electrochemical reactions.

Abstract
In the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), highly active catalysts are essential for reducing the overpotential and improving the slow kinetics of the process. Cobalt selenide (Co3Se4) has always been considered as a promising electrocatalyst for the OER due to the well-suited electronic configuration of the Co ions in it. However, poor exposure of the active sites and low electron conductivity are still its biggest problems. In this study, we report an efficient Ni-doped rod-like Co3Se4 hybridized with reduced graphene oxide (Ni-Co3Se4/rGO) as an OER electrocatalyst. The Ni doping regulates the electronic structure of Co3Se4 and significantly reduces the overpotential of Co3Se4 toward the OER under alkaline conditions. Simultaneously, hybridization of the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) enhances the conductivity which leads to the improvement in OER activity. The Ni-Co3Se4/rGO catalyst shows a lower overpotential (284 mV at 10 mA cm-2) as well as a Tafel slope (71 mV dec-1), which outperformed the benchmark of commercial RuO2. Moreover, Ni-Co3Se4/rGO also shows high stability and long-term durability.

Abstract
Assembling different kinds of 2D nanosheets into heterostructures presents a promising way of designing novel artificial materials with new and improved functionalities by combining the unique properties of each component. In the past few years, black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) have been recognized as a highly feasible 2D material with outstanding electronic properties, a tunable bandgap, and strong in-plane anisotropy, highlighting their suitability as a material for constructing heterostructures. In this study, recent progress in the construction of BPNS-based heterostructures ranging from 2D hybrid structures to 3D networks is discussed, emphasizing the different types of interactions (covalent or noncovalent) between individual layers. The preparation methods, optical and electronic properties, and various applications of these heterostructures-including electronic and optoelectronic devices, energy storage devices, photocatalysis and electrocatalysis, and biological applications-are discussed. Finally, critical challenges and prospective research aspects in BPNS-based heterostructures are also highlighted.

Abstract
We report a highly efficient and stable electrode composed of a porous Fe-doped β-nickel hydroxide nanopyramid array supported on nickel foam (U-Fe-β-Ni(OH)2/NF) for overall water splitting. The unique structure is assembled via a self-templated strategy by utilizing the FeNi oxalate (FeNi-C2O4/NF) nanopyramid as the templates, followed by an anion-exchange reaction at room temperature. Due to the intrinsic activity of Fe-doped β-Ni(OH)2 along with unique porous array structures consisting of two-dimensional (2D) active materials on three-dimensional (3D) conductive substrates, the developed electrode exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic activity for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in an alkaline medium. The introduced amount of Fe plays a significant role in promoting OER and HER activity compared to the β-Ni(OH)2 electrode. The optimal electrode (U-Fe-β-Ni(OH)2/NF-2) generated a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at low overpotentials of 218 mV for the OER and 121 mV for the HER. The electrode also demonstrated considerably stable performance during the continuous water splitting process. Furthermore, we elucidated the promotion mechanisms of the active Fe-doped β-Ni(OH)2 compound for the OER and HER based on extensive characterization and electrochemical measurements. Hence, this work provides a facile approach to developing low-cost, efficient, and stable hydroxide-based electrodes for bifunctional OER and HER in water splitting.

Abstract
Low-cost and efficient multifunctional electrodes play an important part in promoting the practical application of energy conversion and storage. Herein, we report the facile synthesis of N-graphyne, with a novel structure, by one-step ball milling of CaC2 and pyrazine. The accurate doping of nitrogen atoms at the controllable sites of the molecular skeleton of γ-graphyne was achieved using the nitrogenous precursor (pyrazine) as a reactant. Various techniques were adopted for the investigation of the composition, structure, and morphology of the obtained samples. The electrochemical measurements demonstrated that N-graphyne can serve as an excellent electrode material for both electrocatalysis and supercapacitors. As an electrocatalyst, N-graphyne exhibited an overpotential of 280 mV at 100 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 122 mV dec-1 for the oxygen evolution reaction with highly stable morphology and electrocatalytic performance. As a supercapacitor electrode, N-graphyne showed a maximum capacitance of 235 F g-1 at 1 A g-1, and capacitance retention of 87% after 3000 cycles. The superior electrochemical performance of N-graphyne is due to the nitrogen heteroatomic defects, large electrochemical active surface areas and fast electron migration. Our studies provide a facile synthesis of novel N-graphyne with controllable doping sites and promote its potential applications in electrocatalysis and supercapacitors.

Abstract
As a coordination polymer built of [Mo3S13]2- clusters, amorphous nanoscale MoSx (a-MoSx) is an attractive electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to its abundant active sites and scalable synthesis. However, clarifying the internal catalytic mechanism and achieving even higher HER performance with scalable size are still challenging. Herein, a new hybrid catalyst of a-MoSx flakes decorated with Ni3S2 nanocrystals (size < 10 nm) has been successfully synthesized on 10 × 20 cm2-sized Ni foam by a portable hydrothermal route. As the strong interaction of [Mo3S13]2- clusters with Ni3S2 is evidenced by comprehensive binding state and Raman characterization, the polymerization effect of [Mo3S13]2- itself and the perfect interfaces between [Mo3S13]2- clusters and Ni3S2 are also confirmed by density functional theory calculations. These two factors greatly lower the absorption energy of hydrogen nearly to zero, leading to much improved HER activity. Current densities of 100 and 600 mA cm-2 are achieved at overpotentials of 181 and 246 mV, respectively, which are so far the highest values approaching practical applications. The findings of this work provide a fundamental reference about the catalytic origin of a-MoSx based catalysts, and shed light on the practical applications of non-precious electrocatalysts for their compatibility with low cost batch production.

Abstract
Noble-metal-free Ti3C2Tx/CdS hybrids with oxygen-containing groups were successfully prepared through a mild solvothermal method of in situ heterogeneous nucleation. The abundant oxygen-containing groups and the increased surface roughness of plasma-treated Ti3C2Tx sheets provided active sites for the heterogeneous nucleation of CdS nanoparticles and strengthened the physical bond between CdS NPs and layered Ti3C2Tx. The optimized Ti3C2Tx/CdS hybrid without noble-metal co-catalyst achieved a high hydrogen-production rate of 825 μmol h-1 g-1 with an apparent quantum efficiency of 10.2% at 450 nm. The prepared Ti3C2Tx/CdS hybrid with 1.0 wt% Ti3C2Tx had a photocatalytic hydrogen-production rate higher than those of pure CdS nanoparticles and the Ti3C2/CdS hybrid obtained using non-plasma-treated Ti3C2 as the support matrix under visible-light irradiation. The photocatalytic-activity improvement of CdS nanoparticles was due to the increased hydrophilicity after plasma treatment with the abundant oxygen-containing groups on the Ti3C2Tx surface and the intimate contact between CdS nanoparticles and layered Ti3C2Tx. The former enabled the effective capture of water molecules and hydrogen ions by oxygen-containing groups on the surface of plasma-treated Ti3C2Tx. The latter provided a stable transfer channel for electrons to suppress the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The proposed schematic for the improved photocatalytic activity of CdS nanoparticles decorated with plasma treated Ti3C2Tx was further confirmed by transient photocurrent response and time-resolved photoluminescence analyses.

Abstract
The increase of reaction temperature of electrocatalysts is regarded as an efficient method to improve the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity. Herein, it is reported that the electrocatalytic performance of dual functional (i.e., electrocatalytic and photothermal functions) Co3 O4 can be dramatically improved via its photothermal effect. The operating temperature of the Co3 O4 electrode is elevated in situ under near infrared (NIR) light irradiation, resulting in enhanced oxygen evolution activity due to its accelerated electrical conductivity, reaction kinetics, and desorption rate of O2 bubbles from the electrode. In addition, photothermal effect can also enhance the electrocatalytic reaction rates of metal-doped Co3 O4 electrodes, indicating that it is able to significantly improve the OER activities of electrodes together with other modification strategies. With the assistance of the photothermal effect, the obtained Ni-doped Co3 O4 catalyst requires an extremely low overpotential of 208 mV to achieve a benchmark of 10 mA cm-2 with a small Tafel slope, superior to most reported Co-based catalysts. Significantly, the electrocatalytic performance of other electrodes with photothermal effect, such as CoN, CoP, and CoS, are also boosted under NIR light irradiation, indicating opportunities for implementing photothermal enhancement in electrocatalytic water splitting.

Abstract
As environmental and energy problems have worsened worldwide, research for developing renewable energy has become urgent. Presently, the primary focus of such research is directed towards the photocatalytic decomposition of water to produce hydrogen as an energy source. Herein, ZnO nanosheet/CdS nanoparticle heterostructures were synthesized by a mild wet chemical reaction and displayed a high photocatalytic efficiency (1040 μmol g−1 h−1) without Pt loading under visible light radiation. The structure was prepared by first constructing two-dimensional nanocrystalline ZnO flowers and then loading CdS nanoparticles onto the nanocrystals. Results show that this structure can facilitate the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes and improve the photocatalytic efficiency and stability of the materials in the photocatalytic decomposition of water. By changing different experimental conditions to prepare a variety of samples and test their properties, we can analyze the optimal parameters for the preparation of this material. ZnO nanosheet/CdS nanoparticle heterostructures were synthesized by a mild wet chemical reaction and displayed high hydrogen production with free Pt loading under visible light radiation.![]()
