Abstract
Metal node engineering, which can optimize the electronic structure and modulate the composition of poor electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks, is of great interest for electrochemical natural seawater splitting. However, the mechanism underlying the influence of mixed-metal nodes on electrocatalytic activities is still ambiguous. Herein, a strategic design is comprehensively demonstrated in which mixed Ni and Co metal redox-active centers are uniformly distributed within NH2-Fe-MIL-101 to obtain a synergistic effect for the overall enhancement of electrocatalytic activities. Three-dimensional mixed metallic MOF nanosheet arrays, consisting of three different metal nodes, were in situ grown on Ni foam as a highly active and stable bifunctional catalyst for urea-assisted natural seawater splitting. A well-defined NH2-NiCoFe-MIL-101 reaches 1.5 A cm-2 at 360 mV for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and 0.6 A cm-2 at 295 mV for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in freshwater, substantially higher than its bimetallic and monometallic counterparts. Moreover, the bifunctional NH2-NiCoFe-MIL-101 electrode exhibits eminent catalytic activity and stability in natural seawater-based electrolytes. Impressively, the two-electrode urea-assisted alkaline natural seawater electrolysis cell based on NH2-NiCoFe-MIL-101 needs only 1.56 mV to yield 100 mA cm-2, much lower than 1.78 V for alkaline natural seawater electrolysis cells and exhibits superior long-term stability at a current density of 80 mA cm-2 for 80 h.

Abstract
Developing highly efficient, cost-effective, non-noble-metal-based electrocatalysts with superior performance and stability for oxygen evolution reactions is of immense challenge as well as great importance for the upcoming sustainable and green energy conversion technologies. The multivariate metal-organic frameworks with hierarchical porous structures and unsaturated coordination modes are considered to be promising emerging energy materials. In this work, a series of multimetallic MOFs were directly grown on nickel foam (NF) through the solvothermal method. Notably, the optimized tetrametallic FeCoNiMn-MOF/NF shows a low overpotential of 239 mV to achieve a current density of 50 mA cm-2 with a Tafel slope of 62.05 mV dec-1 for OER in 1 M KOH. It also exhibits excellent stability and durability over 100 h in chronoamperometric studies. The enhanced performance is closely tied to the high activity of iron and nickel ions and the decomposed and reconstructed Ni/Fe-OOH intermediates of the FeCoNiMn-MOF/NF during the OER process, which are revealed by XPS analysis and in situ Raman spectroscopy. This present work demonstrates the feasibility and advantage of utilizing highly efficient and durable multimetallic MOFs for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution.

Abstract
Over the past years, metal-organic frameworks (MOF) have been directly used as electrodes or as a precursor for MOF-derived materials in energy storage and conversion systems. In the wide range of existing MOF derivatives, MOF-derived layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are determined to be promising materials due to their unique structure and features. However, MOF-derived LDHs (MDL) materials can suffer from insufficient intrinsic conductivity and agglomeration during formation. Various techniques and approaches were designed and applied to tackle these problems, such as using ternary LDHs, ion-doping, sulphurization, phosphorylation, selenization, direct growth, and conductive substrates. All the mentioned enhancement techniques aim to create the ideal electrode materials with maximum performance. In this review, we gathered and discussed the most recent progressive advances, different synthesis methodologies, unsolved challenges, applications, and electrochemical and electrocatalytic performance of MDL materials. We hope this work will be a reliable source for future progress and synthesis of these materials.

Abstract
Amorphous metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have drawn extensive interest in the design of high-performance electrocatalysts for use in the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction. However, there are limitations to the utilization of amorphous MOFs due to their low electrical conductivity and unsatisfactory stability. Herein, a novel amorphous-crystalline (AC) heterostructure is successfully constructed by synthesizing a crystalline metal sulfide (MS)-embedded amorphous Ni0.67Fe0.33-MOF, namely an MS/Ni0.67Fe0.33-MOF. It exhibits excellent catalytic performance (a low overpotential of 248 mV at 10 mA cm-2 with a small Tafel slope of 50 mV decade-1), durability, and stability (only 8% degradation of the current density at a constant voltage after 24 h). This work thus sheds light on the engineering of highly efficient catalysts with AC heterointerfaces for optimizing water-splitting systems.

Synthesis of bifunctional NiFe layered double hydroxides (LDH)/Mo-doped g-C 3N 4 electrocatalyst for efficient methanol oxidation and seawater splitting. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 312:137203. [PMID: 36375606 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Revised: 10/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
To boost the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) of pristine NiFe-layered double hydroxides (LDH), the NiFe-LDH/Mo-doped graphitic carbon nitride (NiFe-LDH/MoCN) heterojunction was synthesized herein through hydrothermal method. The establishment of built-in electric field in NiFe-LDH/MoCN heterojunction enhanced the electrochemical oxidation activities towards both seawater splitting and methanol oxidation, via the improving electrocatalyst surface wettability and conductivity. Almost 10-fold enhancement of turnover frequency (TOF) and electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) than pure NiFe-LDH implied more active sites to participate in catalytic reactions via Mo doping and the formation of heterostructure. Moreover, the local charge redistribution demonstrated in the NiFe-LDH/MoCN interface region may favor the adsorption of methanol and OH- in the seawater. The present work may expound the strong coupling interaction and the establishment of built-in electric field in the interface between NiFe-LDH and semiconductor to enhance both methanol oxidation and seawater oxidation for NiFe-LDH.

Abstract
To utilize intermittent renewable energy as well as achieve the goals of peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality, various electrocatalytic devices have been developed. However, the electrocatalytic reactions, e.g., hydrogen evolution reaction/oxygen evolution reaction in overall water splitting, polysulfide conversion in lithium-sulfur batteries, formation/decomposition of lithium peroxide in lithium-oxygen batteries, and nitrate reduction reaction to degrade sewage, suffer from sluggish kinetics caused by multielectron transfer processes. Owing to the merits of accelerated charge transport, optimized adsorption/desorption of intermediates, raised conductivity, regulation of the reaction microenvironment, as well as ease to combine with geometric characteristics, the built-in electric field (BIEF) is expected to overcome the above problems. Here, we give a Review about the very recent progress of BIEF for efficient energy electrocatalysis. First, the construction strategies and the characterization methods (qualitative and quantitative analysis) of BIEF are summarized. Then, the up-to-date overviews of BIEF engineering in electrocatalysis, with attention on the electron structure optimization and reaction microenvironment modulation, are analyzed and discussed in detail. In the end, the challenges and perspectives of BIEF engineering are proposed. This Review gives a deep understanding on the design of electrocatalysts with BIEF for next-generation energy storage and electrocatalytic devices.
