Abstract
Rational design of cost-effective and efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts for sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is urgently desired for rechargeable metal–air batteries and regenerative fuel cells. Here, the Fe3C nanoparticles encapsulated in N and F codoped and simultaneously etched graphene/CNTs architecture catalyst (Fe3C@N-F-GCNTs) was synthesized by a simple yet cost-effective strategy. The as-prepared Fe3C@N-F-GCNTs exhibited excellent ORR and OER performances, with the ORR half-wave potential positive than that of Pt/C by 14 mV, and the OER overpotential lowered to 432 mV at the current density of 10 mA·cm−2. In addition, the ΔE value (oxygen electrode activity parameter) increased to 0.827 V, which is comparable to the performance of the best nonprecious metal catalysts reported to date. When it was applied in a Zn–air battery as a cathode, it achieved a peak power density of 130 mW·cm−2, exhibiting the potential for large-scale applications.

Abstract
Developing a robust catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction is the major challenge in the field of renewable energy. The difficulty comes from not only the low intrinsic activity, but also the structural uncertainty of catalysts under the operating conditions. Therefore, finding the relationship between structural evolution and the OER activity is urgently required. At present, first-principles simulations have become a powerful tool to understand the mechanism of the OER at the atomic level. In this review, TiO2 , MnOx , and CoS2 are used as examples to demonstrate how first-principles calculations can predict the morphology of nanoparticles, explore the pathway of electrochemically induced phase transition, and resolve the structure of a heterojunction. With these new theoretical techniques, the structure-activity relationship of the OER for a complex catalytic system can be determined without experimental inputs. Such a bottom-up strategy holds great promise to reveal the active site and mechanism of a complex catalytic system from first-principles calculations.

Abstract
Directly splitting water into H2 and O2 with solar light is extremely important; however, the overall efficiency of water splitting still remains extremely low. Two types of ultrathin semiconductor layers with the same elements and the same thicknesses were designed to uncover how different atomic arrangements influence water-splitting efficiency thermodynamically and kinetically. As an example, tetrahedrally coordinated blende and octahedrally coordinated rocksalt CoO atomic layers with nearly the same thicknesses were synthesized for the first time. The blende CoO atomic layers have a smaller Eg and abundant d-d internal transition features relative to the rocksalt CoO atomic layers, which ensure enhanced visible-light harvesting ability. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the Bader charge for Co atoms in blende CoO atomic layers is larger than that of the rocksalt CoO atomic layers, which facilitates photocarrier transfer kinetics, as verified by photoluminescence spectra and time-resolved fluorescence emission decay spectra. In situ FTIR spectra and energy calculations reveal that the *OOH dissociation step is the rate-limiting step, where the blende CoO atomic layers possess a smaller *OOH dissociation energy thanks to their higher Bader charge and stronger steric effect, as confirmed by the elongated Co-OOH bonds. The blende CoO atomic layers exhibit visible-light-driven H2 and O2 formation rates of 4.43 and 2.63 μmol g-1 h-1 , roughly 3.7 times higher than those of the rocksalt CoO atomic layers.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a key reaction for water electrolysis cells and air-powered battery applications. However, conventional metal oxide catalysts, used for high-performing OER, tend to incorporate comparatively expensive and less abundant precious metals such as Ru and Ir, and, moreover, suffer from poor stability. To attempt to mitigate for all of these issues, we have prepared one-dimensional (1D) OER-active perovskite nanorods using a unique, simple, generalizable, and robust method. Significantly, our work demonstrates the feasibility of a novel electroless, seedless, surfactant-free, wet solution-based protocol for fabricating "high aspect ratio" LaNiO3 and LaMnO3 nanostructures. As the main focus of our demonstration of principle, we prepared as-synthesized LaNiO3 rods and correlated the various temperatures at which these materials were annealed with their resulting OER performance. We observed generally better OER performance for samples prepared with lower annealing temperatures. Specifically, when annealed at 600 °C, in the absence of a conventional conductive carbon support, our as-synthesized LaNiO3 rods not only evinced (i) a reasonable level of activity toward OER but also displayed (ii) an improved stability, as demonstrated by chronoamperometric measurements, especially when compared with a control sample of commercially available (and more expensive) RuO2.
