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.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:26866-26874. [PMID: 36320836 PMCID: PMC9490779 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra04252e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Cost-efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts with good stability and high activity are in great demand to replace noble-metal-based catalysts for overall water-splitting. Ni3S2 has been considered a suitable electrocatalyst for either the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) or the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) owing to its good conductivity and stability, but high performance remains a challenge. Based on density functional theory calculations, we propose a practical 3d-transition-metal (TM = Mn, Fe and Co) doping to enhance the catalytic performance for both HER and OER on the Ni3S2 (101) facet. The enhancement originates from TM-doping-induced charge rearrangement and charge transfer, which increases the surface activity and promotes catalytic behavior. In particular, Mn-doped Ni3S2 shows good bifunctional catalytic activity because it possesses more active sites, reduced hydrogen adsorption free energy (ΔG H*) for HER and low overpotential for OER. Importantly, this work not only provides a feasible means to design efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water-splitting but also provides insights into the mechanism of improving catalytic behavior.

Abstract
Developing high-efficiency electrocatalysts toward overall water splitting is an increasingly important area for sustainable energy evolution. Theoretical calculation results demonstrate that the incorporation of Ru optimizes the Gibbs free energy of adsorption of H2 O molecules and intermediates for the hydrogen/oxygen evolution reactions (HER/OER) on metal selenide sites, thus boosting electrocatalytic overall water splitting. Accordingly, ruthenium modified nickel diselenide nanosheet arrays are designed and construct on nickel foam (Ru-NiSe2 /NF). The obtained Ru-NiSe2 /NF electrode with a stable 3D structure shows greatly improved OER and HER activity in alkaline solution. Particularly, toward OER, it only requires 210 mV to obtain a current density of 10 mA cm-2 , and the formation of the intermediate nickel oxyhydroxide as active center during the OER process is captured by in situ Raman. Moreover, the overall water splitting can be driven by a voltage of merely 1.537 V to obtain 10 mA cm-2 . This work provides an available strategy for selenides to enhance electrochemical properties and inspires more studies to explore highly efficient electrocatalysts toward full water splitting.

Abstract
Hydrogen is the most promising renewable energy source to replace traditional fossil fuels for its ultrahigh energy density, abundance and environmental friendliness. Generating hydrogen by water splitting with highly efficient electrocatalysts is a feasible route to meet current and future energy demand. Herein, the effects of Ru doping and phosphorization treatment on Co3O4 nanoarrays for water splitting are systemically investigated. The results show that a small amount of phosphorus can accelerate hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the trace of Ru dopant can significantly enhance the catalytic activities for HER and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Ru-doped cobalt phosphorous oxide/nickel foam (CoRuPO/NF) nanoarrays exhibit highly efficient catalytic performance with an overpotential of 26 mV at 10 mA cm−2 for HER and 342 mV at 50 mA cm−2 for OER in 1 M KOH solution, indicating superior water splitting performance. Furthermore, the CoRuPO/NF also exhibits eminent and durable activities for alkaline seawater electrolysis. This work significantly advances the development of seawater splitting for hydrogen generation. CoRuPO/NF shows low overpotentials in HER and OER.![]()

Abstract
As hydrogen has been increasingly considered as promising sustainable energy supply, electrochemical overall water splitting driven by highly efficient non-noble metal electrocatalysts has aroused extensive attention. Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have demonstrated remarkable electrocatalytic performance, including high activity and robust durability towards hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic and alkaline as well as neutral electrolytes. In this Review, up-to-date progress of TMP-based HER electrocatalysts is summarized. Various synthesis strategies of TMPs based on selected phosphorus sources are presented, and the reaction mechanisms of HER as well as the contribution of phosphorus in the TMPs to HER activity are briefly discussed. The multiscale approaches for promoting the activity and stability of TMP-based catalysts are discussed with respect to intrinsic electronic structure, hybrids, microstructure, and working electrode interface. Some crucial issues and future perspectives of TMPs are pointed out. These modulated approaches and challenges are also instructive for constructing other high-activity energy-related electrocatalysts.
