Abstract
Herein, a series of monometallic Ni-, Co- and Zn-MOFs and bimetallic NiCo-, NiZn- and CoZn-MOFs of formula M2(BDC)2DABCO and (M,M')2(BDC)2DABCO, respectively, (M, M'=metal) with the same pillar and layer linkers 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) and benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate (BDC) were prepared through a fast microwave-assisted thermal conversion synthesis method (MW) within only 12 min. In the bimetallic MOFs the ratio M:M' was 4 : 1. The mono- and bimetallic MOFs were selected to systematically explore the catalytic-activity of their derived metal oxide/hydroxides for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Among all tested bimetallic MOF-derived catalysts, the NiCoMOF exhibits superior catalytic activity for the OER with the lowest overpotentials of 301 mV and Tafel slopes of 42 mV dec-1 on a rotating disk glassy carbon electrode (RD-GCE) in 1 mol L-1 KOH electrolyte at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. In addition, NiCoMOF was insitu grown in just 25 min by the MW synthesis on the surface of nickel foam (NF) with, for example, a mass loading of 16.6 mgMOF/gNF, where overpotentials of 313 and 328 mV at current densities of 50 and 300 mA cm-2, respectively, were delivered and superior long-term stability for practical OER application. The low Tafel slope of 27 mV dec-1, as well as a low reaction resistance from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement (Rfar=2 Ω), confirm the excellent OER performance of this NiCoMOF/NF composite. During the electrocatalytic processes or even before upon KOH pre-treatment, the MOFs are transformed to the mixed-metal hydroxide phase α-/β-M(OH)2 which presents the active species in the reactions (turnover frequency TOF=0.252 s-1 at an overpotential of 320 mV). Compared to the TOF from β-M(OH)2 (0.002 s-1), our study demonstrates that a bimetallic MOF improves the electrocatalytic performance of the derived catalyst by giving an intimate and uniform mixture of the involved metals at the nanoscale.

Abstract
Cost-effective and high-efficiency catalysts play a central role in various sustainable electrochemical energy conversion technologies that are being developed to generate clean energy while reducing carbon emissions, such as fuel cells, metal-air batteries, water electrolyzers, and carbon dioxide conversion. In this context, a recent climax in the exploitation of advanced earth-abundant catalysts has been witnessed for diverse electrochemical reactions involved in the above mentioned sustainable pathways. In particular, polymer catalysts have garnered considerable interest and achieved substantial progress very recently, mainly owing to their pyrolysis-free synthesis, highly tunable molecular composition and microarchitecture, readily adjustable electrical conductivity, and high stability. In this review, we present a timely and comprehensive overview of the latest advances in organic polymers as emerging materials for powerful electrocatalysts. First, we present the general principles for the design of polymer catalysts in terms of catalytic activity, electrical conductivity, mass transfer, and stability. Then, the state-of-the-art engineering strategies to tailor the polymer catalysts at both molecular (i.e., heteroatom and metal atom engineering) and macromolecular (i.e., chain, topology, and composition engineering) levels are introduced. Particular attention is paid to the insightful understanding of structure-performance correlations and electrocatalytic mechanisms. The fundamentals behind these critical electrochemical reactions, including the oxygen reduction reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, CO2 reduction reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, and hydrogen oxidation reaction, as well as breakthroughs in polymer catalysts, are outlined as well. Finally, we further discuss the current challenges and suggest new opportunities for the rational design of advanced polymer catalysts. By presenting the progress, engineering strategies, insightful understandings, challenges, and perspectives, we hope this review can provide valuable guidelines for the future development of polymer catalysts.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 898:166375.

Abstract
Photoelectrochemical oxidation (PECO) is a promising advanced technology for treating micropollutants in stormwater. However, it is important to understand its operation prior to practical validation. In this study, we introduced a flow PECO system designed to evaluate its potential for full-scale applications in herbicides degradation, providing valuable insights for future large-scale implementations. The PECO flow reactor demonstrated the ability to treat a larger volume of stormwater (675 mL, approximately 10 times more than previous batch experiments) with effective removal rates of 92 % for diuron and 22 % for atrazine over 6 h of operation at 2 V. To address the large volume issue in stormwater treatment, a multiple module parallel application design is being considered to increase the treatment capacity of the PECO flow reactor. During the flow reactor operations, flow rate was found to have a notable impact on removal performance, particularly for diuron. At a flow rate of 610 mL min-1, approximately 90 % removal of diuron was achieved, while at 29 mL min-1, the removal efficiency decreased to 60 %. While light intensity had minimal effect on diuron degradation (all settings achieved over 90 % removal), it enhanced atrazine degradation from 9 % to 31 % with an increase in intensity from 63 mW cm-2 to 144 mW cm-2. Remarkably, the PECO flow system exhibited excellent removal performance (>90 % removal) for diuron even at extremely high initial pollutant concentrations (240 μg L-1), demonstrating its capacity to handle varying contaminant loads in stormwater. Energy consumption analysis revealed that flow rate as the primary factor influenced the specific energy consumption rate. Higher flow rate (e.g., 610 mL min-1) were preferable in flow reactor due to its well-balanced performance between removal and energy consumption. These findings confirm that the PECO flow system offers an efficient and promising approach for stormwater treatment applications.

Abstract
Earth abundant transition metal oxide (EATMO)-based bifunctional catalysts for overall water splitting are highly desirable, but their performance is far from satisfactory due to low intrinsic activities of EATMOs toward electrocatalysis of both oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions and poor electron transfer and transport capabilities. A three-dimensional (3-D) Ni-foam-supported NiCoO2@Co3O4 nanowire-on-nanosheet heterostructured array with rich oxygen vacancies has been synthesized, showing OER activity superior to most reported catalysts and even much higher than Ru and Ir-based ones and HER activity among the highest reported for non-noble-metal-based catalysts. The excellent activities are ascribed to the highly dense, ultrathin nanowire arrays epitaxially grown on an interconnected layered nanosheet array greatly facilitating electron transfer and providing numerous electrochemically accessible active sites and the high content of oxygen vacancies on nanowires greatly promoting OER and HER. When adopted as bifunctional electrodes for overall water splitting, this heterostructure shows an overvoltage (at 10 mA cm-2) lower than most reported electrolyzers and high stability. This work not only creates a 3-D EATMO-based integrated heterostructure as a low-cost, highly efficient bifunctional catalytic electrode for water splitting, but also provides a novel strategy to use unique heteronanostructures with rich surface defects for synergistically enhancing electrocatalytic activities.

Abstract
Developing an efficient and non-precious bifunctional catalyst capable of performing water splitting and organic effluent degradation in wastewater is a great challenge. This article reports an efficient bifunctional nanocatalyst based on NiCo2O4, synthesized using a simple one-pot co-precipitation method. We optimized the synthesis conditions by varying the synthesis pH and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) concentrations. The prepared catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and simultaneous methylene blue (MB) dye degradation. Among the catalysts, the catalyst synthesized using 1 g SDS as a surfactant at 100 °C provided the highest current density (658 mA cm-2), lower onset potential (1.34 V vs. RHE), lower overpotential (170 mV @ 10 mA cm-2), and smallest Tafel slope (90 mV dec-1) value. Furthermore, the OH˙ radicals produced during the OER electrochemically degraded the MB to 90% within 2 hours. The stability test conducted at 20 mA cm-2 showed almost negligible loss of the electrochemical response for OER, with 99% retention of the original response. These results strongly suggest that this catalyst is a promising candidate for addressing the challenges of wastewater treatment and energy generation.

Abstract
There has been a growing interest in water oxidation in recent two decades. Along with that, remarkable discovery of formation of a mysterious catalyst layer upon application of an anodic potential of 1.13 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) to an inert indium tin oxide electrode immersed in phosphate buffer containing Co(II) ions by Nocera et.al, has greatly attracted researchers interest. These researches have oriented in two directions; one focuses on obtaining better understanding of the reported mysterious catalyst layer, further modification, and improved performance, and the second approach is about designing coordination complexes of cobalt and investigating their properties toward the application in water splitting. Although there have been critical debates on true catalysts that are responsible for water oxidation in homogeneous systems of coordination complexes of cobalt, and the case is not totally closed, in this short review, our focus will be mainly on recent major progress and developments in the design and the application of cobalt oxide-based materials in catalytic, electrocatalytic, photocatalytic, and photoelectrocatalytic water oxidation reaction, which have been reported since pioneering report of Nocera in 2008 (Kanan Matthew and Nocera Daniel in Science 321:1072-1075, 2008).

Abstract
Although advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as photoelectrochemical oxidation (PECO), electrochemical oxidation (ECO) and photocatalytic oxidation (PCO), have shown potential for wastewater treatment, their application in urban stormwater has rarely been studied. This paper explored their major degradation mechanisms and possible degradation pathways of herbicides for stormwater applications (with treatment difficulty compared with wastewater). PECO and ECO showed excellent removal performance for diuron (100 %) and moderate for atrazine (around 35 %) under a relatively low potential (2 V). Superoxide radical (·O2-) has been found to be the dominant reactive species. Besides, there is evidence to indicate that hydroxyl radical (·OH) and free chlorine (·Cl) also support the degradation reactions. Up to 11 possible intermediate products have been identified during both diuron and atrazine degradation processes under PECO operation. Based on the proposed possible degradation pathways, the intermediates presented during PECO are species with further oxidation. As evidenced by the undetected species of more oxidized intermediates for ECO and PCO, some further degradation steps are missing, which demonstrate their lower oxidation capacity leading to incomplete decomposition of stormwater herbicides. Thus, PECO has a great potential to be developed into a passive stormwater degradation system due to its strong oxidation potential.

Abstract
A climax in the development of cost-effective and high-efficiency transition metal-based electrocatalysts has been witnessed recently for sustainable energy and related conversion technologies. In this regard, structure-activity relationships based on several descriptors have already been proposed to rationally design electrocatalysts. However, the dynamic reconstruction of the surface structures and compositions of catalysts during electrocatalytic water oxidation, especially during the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), complicate the streamlined prediction of the catalytic activity. With the achievements in operando and in situ techniques, it has been found that electrocatalysts undergo surface reconstruction to form the actual active species in situ accompanied with an increase in their oxidation state during OER in alkaline solution. Accordingly, a thorough understanding of the surface reconstruction process plays a critical role in establishing unambiguous structure-composition-property relationships in pursuit of high-efficiency electrocatalysts. However, several issues still need to be explored before high electrocatalytic activities can be realized, as follows: (1) the identification of initiators and pathways for surface reconstruction, (2) establishing the relationships between structure, composition, and electrocatalytic activity, and (3) the rational manipulation of in situ catalyst surface reconstruction. In this review, the recent progress in the surface reconstruction of transition metal-based OER catalysts including oxides, non-oxides, hydroxides and alloys is summarized, emphasizing the fundamental understanding of reconstruction behavior from the original precatalysts to the actual catalysts based on operando analysis and theoretical calculations. The state-of-the-art strategies to tailor the surface reconstruction such as substituting/doping with metals, introducing anions, incorporating oxygen vacancies, tuning morphologies and exploiting plasmonic/thermal/photothermal effects are then introduced. Notably, comprehensive operando/in situ characterization together with computational calculations are responsible for unveiling the improvement mechanism for OER. By delivering the progress, strategies, insights, techniques, and perspectives, this review will provide a comprehensive understanding of the surface reconstruction in transition metal-based OER catalysts and future guidelines for their rational development.

Abstract
Electrolyzing water technology to prepare high-purity hydrogen is currently an important field in energy development. However, the preparation of efficient, stable, and inexpensive hydrogen production technology from electrolyzed water is a major problem in hydrogen energy production. The key technology for hydrogen production from water electrolysis is to prepare highly efficient catalytic, stable and durable electrodes, which are used to reduce the overpotential of the hydrogen evolution reaction and the oxygen evolution reaction of electrolyzed water. The main strategies for preparing catalytic electrodes include: (i) choosing cheap, large specific surface area and stable base materials, (ii) modulating the intrinsic activity of the catalytic material through elemental doping and lattice changes, and (iii) adjusting the morphology and structure to increase the catalytic activity. Based on these findings, herein, we review the recent work in the field of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, introduce the preparation of catalytic electrodes based on nickel foam, carbon cloth and new flexible materials, and summarize the catalytic performance of metal oxides, phosphides, sulfides and nitrides in the hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reactions. Secondly, parameters such as the overpotential, Tafel slope, active site, turnover frequency, and stability are used as indicators to measure the performance of catalytic electrode materials. Finally, taking the material cost of the catalytic electrode as a reference, the successful preparations are comprehensively compared. The overall aim is to shed some light on the exploration of high-efficiency and economical electrodes in energy chemistry and also demonstrate that there is still room for discovering new combinations of electrodes including base materials, composition lattice changes and morphologies.

Abstract
The solar driven advanced oxidation process (AOP) has the potential to be developed as a passive stormwater post-treatment method. Despite its widespread studies in wastewater treatment, the applicability of the process for micropollutant removal in stormwater (which has very different chemical properties from wastewater) is still unknown. This paper investigated the feasibility of three different AOP processes for the degradation of two herbicides (diuron and atrazine) in pre-treated stormwater: (i) photoelectrochemical oxidation (PECO), (ii) electrochemical oxidation (ECO), and (iii) photocatalytic oxidation (PCO). The durability of different anode materials, the effects of catalyst loading, and solar photo- and thermal impacts under different applied voltages were studied. Boron-doped diamond (BDD) was found to be the most durable anode material compared to carbon fiber and titanium foil for long-term operation. Due to the very low electroconductivity of stormwater, a high voltage was required, causing severe oxidation of the carbon fiber material. PECO achieved the best degradation results compared to ECO and PCO, with over 90% degradation of both herbicides in 2 h under 5 V, following a first-order decay process (with a half-life value of 0.40 h for diuron and 0.58 h for atrazine). The voltage increase had a positive impact on the oxidation processes, with 5 V found to be the optimal applied voltage, while catalyst loading had a negligible effect. Interestingly, the solar thermal effect plays a dominant role in enhancing the performance of the PECO process, which indicates the potential of integrating a photovoltaic chamber with a PECO system to harness both the light and heat of solar energy for stormwater treatment.

Abstract
Unlike other preparation methods of NiCoFe-layered double hydroxides, the present study provides a facile ultrasound method for synthesis of the nano-petal NiCoFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) prepared under intensification frequency of 40 kHz and ultrasonic power of 305 W. The effect of time reaction on the morphology of NiCoFe-LDH was investigated using the Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy images. The results show that time reaction can affect the morphology and it also showed that the optimal time for synthesis of nano-petal NiCoFe-LDH was 60 min. Then, the effect of nano-petal NiCoFe-LDH on oxygen evaluation reaction activity was studied and compared with NiCoFe-LDH-c nano paricles. Also, in order to study the effect of Co2+ of nano-petal NiCoFe-LDH at water oxidation, the activity of NiFe-LDH synthesized in the same conditions was investigated. The results show that nano-petal NiCoFe-LDH has low onset potential (0.46 V vs. SCE), overpotential (~227 mV) and Tafel slope (234 mV per decade) in comparison with other NiCoFe-LDH nanoparticles (synthesis using co-precipitation method and ultrasonication method within 30 and 120 min), and NiFe-LDH. Based on the obtained results, the nano-petal NiCoFe-LDH can be as a suitable electrocatalyst with good stability for water oxidation reaction in the present 0.1 M KOH media.

Abstract
Bimetallic iron-nickel-based nanocatalysts are perhaps the most active for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline electrolytes. Recent developments in literature have suggested that the ratio of iron and nickel in Fe-Ni thin films plays an essential role in the performance and stability of the catalysts. In this work, the metallic ratio of iron to nickel was tested in alloy bimetallic nanoparticles. Similar to thin films, nanoparticles with iron-nickel atomic compositions where the atomic iron percentage is ≤50% outperformed nanoparticles with iron-nickel ratios of >50%. Nanoparticles of Fe20Ni80, Fe50Ni50, and Fe80Ni20 compositions were evaluated and demonstrated to have overpotentials of 313, 327,, and 364 mV, respectively, at a current density of 10 mA/cm2. While the Fe20Ni80 composition might be considered to have the best OER performance at low current densities, Fe50Ni50 was found to have the best current density performance at higher current densities, making this composition particularly relevant for electrolysis conditions. However, when stability was evaluated through chronoamperometry and chronopotentiometry, the Fe80Ni20 composition resulted in the lowest degradation rates of 2.9 μA/h and 17.2 μV/h, respectively. These results suggest that nanoparticles with higher iron and lower nickel content, such as the Fe80Ni20 composition, should be still taken into consideration while optimizing these bimetallic OER catalysts for overall electrocatalytic performance. Characterization by electron microscopy, diffraction, and X-ray spectroscopy provides detailed chemical and structural information on as-synthesized nanoparticle materials.

Abstract
Abstract
The study of hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts for water electrolysis is a developing field in which noble metal-based materials are commonly used. However, the associated high cost and low abundance of noble metals limit their practical application. Non-noble metal catalysts, aside from being inexpensive, highly abundant and environmental friendly, can possess high electrical conductivity, good structural tunability and comparable electrocatalytic performances to state-of-the-art noble metals, particularly in alkaline media, making them desirable candidates to reduce or replace noble metals as promising electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. This article will review and provide an overview of the fundamental knowledge related to water electrolysis with a focus on the development and progress of non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts in alkaline, polymer exchange membrane and solid oxide electrolysis. A critical analysis of the various catalysts currently available is also provided with discussions on current challenges and future perspectives. In addition, to facilitate future research and development, several possible research directions to overcome these challenges are provided in this article.

Abstract
Binary transition metal phosphides hold immense potential as innovative electrode materials for constructing high-performance energy storage devices. Herein, porous binary nickel-cobalt phosphide (NiCoP) nanosheet arrays anchored on nickel foam (NF) were rationally designed as self-supported binder-free electrodes with high supercapacitance performance. Taking the combined advantages of compositional features and array architectures, the nickel foam supported NiCoP nanosheet array (NiCoP@NF) electrode possesses superior electrochemical performance in comparison with Ni-Co LDH@NF and NiCoO2@NF electrodes. The NiCoP@NF electrode shows an ultrahigh specific capacitance of 2143 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 and retained 1615 F g-1 even at 20 A g-1, showing excellent rate performance. Furthermore, a binder-free all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor device is designed, which exhibits a high energy density of 27 W h kg-1 at a power density of 647 W kg-1. The hierarchical binary nickel-cobalt phosphide nanosheet arrays hold great promise as advanced electrode materials for supercapacitors with high electrochemical performance.

Abstract
The study of cost-efficient and high-performance electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has attracted much attention. Here, porous microrod arrays constructed by carbon-confined NiCo@NiCoO2 core@shell nanoparticles (NiCo@NiCoO2 /C PMRAs) are fabricated by the reductive carbonization of bimetallic (Ni, Co) metal-organic framework microrod arrays (denoted as NiCo-MOF MRAs) and subsequent controlled oxidative calcination. They successfully combine the desired merits including large specific surface areas, high conductivity, and multiple electrocatalytic active sites for OER. In addition, the oxygen vacancies in NiCo@NiCoO2 /C PMRAs significantly improve the conductivity of NiCoO2 and accelerate the kinetics of OER. The above advantages obviously enhance the electrocatalytic performance of NiCo@NiCoO2 /C PMRAs. The experimental results demonstrate that the NiCo@NiCoO2 /C PMRAs as electrocatalysts exhibit high catalytic activity, low overpotential, and high stability for OER in alkaline media. The strategy reported will open up a new route for the fabrication of porous bimetallic composite electrocatalysts derived from MOFs with controllable morphology for electrochemical energy conversion devices.

Abstract
First-row (3d) transition-metal catalysts, such as bimetallic Ni-Co, represent an emerging class of electrocatalysts for HER, but they usually suffer from a large overpotential significantly above thermodynamic demands. Here, we doped NiCo catalyst with non3d metals molybdenum (Mo) for improvement in catalyzing the hydrogen evolution reaction. The ternary catalyst was readily obtained by a one-pot process via the sequential electrodeposition of Ni, Co, and Mo precursors on titanium (Ti) support. By tailing the deposition conditions, we fabricated NiCoMo catalysts with three-dimensional dendritic structures, exhibiting large amounts of electrochemically active sites. To attain the benchmark HER current density of -10 mA cm-2, an overpotential of ∼132 mV is required in 0.1 M KOH for the Mo-doped NiCo (5 atom % Mo in bath), and they produced the decreasing in Tafel slope of ∼108 mV decade-1 exceeding those of binary NiCo alloy catalysts and other contents of Mo doping. In a synergistic effect, dopant incorporation of Mo element may provide near-optimal adsorption energies for HER intermediates promoting the process of water dissociation and hydrogen intermediates production and binding into molecular hydrogen.

Abstract
A new method based on one-step solvothermal reaction is demonstrated to synthesize ultrathin Ni-Co layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets, which grow directly on a flexible carbon fiber cloth (NiCo-LDH/CFC). Through using 2-methylimidazole as complex and methanol as solvent, the as-prepared NiCo-LDH/CFC shows a (003) facet preferential growth and an expanded interlayer spacing structure, resulting in a unique 3D porous nanostructure with a thickness of nanosheets of around 5-7 nm that shows high energy storage performance. By controlling the ratio of Ni/Co = 4:1 in the precursor solution, the electrode shows a specific capacitance of 2762.7 F g-1 (1243.2 C g-1) at a current density of 1 A g-1. Nevertheless, the optimal composition is obtained with Ni/Co = 1:1, which produces a specific capacitance of 2242.9 F g-1 (1009.3 C g-1) at 1 A g-1 and shows an excellent rate capability with 61% of the original capacitance being retained at a current density of 60 A g-1. The hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) based on the NiCo-LDH/CFC exhibits a maximum energy density of 59.2 Wh kg-1 and power densities of 34 kW kg-1, respectively. Long-term stability test shows that 82% of the original capacitance of the HSC remains after 5000 cycles. Importantly, the electrochemical performance of the solid-state flexible supercapacitors based on the prepared NiCo-LDH/CFC electrode showed a negligible change when the device was bent up to 180°. The performance of synthesized NiCo-LDH/CFC indicates the great potential of the material for delivering both high energy density and high power density in energy storage devices.
