Abstract
MXenes, a novel class of two-dimensional materials, have garnered significant attention for their promising electrocatalytic properties in various energy conversion applications such as water splitting, fuel cells, metal-air batteries, and nitrogen reduction reactions. Their excellent electrical conductivity, high specific surface area, and versatile surface chemistry enable exceptional catalytic performance. This review highlights recent advancements in the design and application strategies of MXenes as electrocatalysts, focusing on key reactions including hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). We discuss the tunability of MXenes' layered structures and surface properties through surface modification, MXene lattice substitution, defect and morphology engineering, and heterostructure construction. Despite the considerable progress, MXenes face challenges such as restacking during catalysis, stability issues, and difficulties in large-scale production. Addressing these challenges through innovative engineering approaches and advancing industrial synthesis techniques is crucial for the broader application of MXene-based materials. Our review underscores the potential of MXenes in transforming electrocatalytic processes and highlights future research directions to optimize their catalytic efficiency and stability.

Electron Accumulation Induced by Electron Injection-Incomplete Discharge on NiFe LDH for Enhanced Oxygen Evolution Reaction. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2402397. [PMID: 38634268 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202402397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
Optimizing the local electronic structure of electrocatalysts can effectively lower the energy barrier of electrochemical reactions, thus enhancing the electrocatalytic activity. However, the intrinsic contribution of the electronic effect is still experimentally unclear. In this work, the electron injection-incomplete discharge approach to achieve the electron accumulation (EA) degree on the nickel-iron layered double hydroxide (NiFe LDH) is proposed, to reveal the intrinsic contribution of EA toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Such NiFe LDH with EA effect results in only 262 mV overpotential to reach 50 mA cm-2, which is 51 mV-lower compared with pristine NiFe LDH (313 mV), and reduced Tafel slope of 54.8 mV dec-1 than NiFe LDH (107.5 mV dec-1). Spectroscopy characterizations combined with theoretical calculations confirm that the EA near concomitant Vo can induce a narrower energy gap and lower thermodynamic barrier to enhance OER performance. This study clarifies the mechanism of the EA effect on OER activity, providing a direct electronic structure modulation guideline for effective electrocatalyst design.

Oxygen vacancies synergistic cobalt phosphide electron bridge modulated bismuth oxychloride/carbon nitride Z-scheme junction for efficient carbon dioxide reduction coupled with tetracycline oxidation. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 661:150-163.

Abstract
Although great progress has been made with respect to electron bridges, the electron mobility of the state-of-the-art electron bridges is far from satisfactory because of weak electrical conductivity. To overcome the above issue, cobalt phosphide (CoP), as a model electron bridge, was modified by superficial oxygen vacancies (OVs) and embedded into a defective bismuth oxychloride/carbon nitride (BiO1-xCl/g-C3N4) Z-scheme heterojunction to obtain atomic-level insights into the effect of surface OVs on CoP electron bridges. Compared to BiO1-xCl/g-C3N4 and bismuth oxychloride/cobalt phosphide/carbon nitride (BiOCl/CoP/g-C3N4) composites, the defective bismuth oxychloride/cobalt phosphide/carbon nitride (BiO1-xCl/CoP/g-C3N4) heterojunction exhibited remarkable photocatalytic redox performance, indicating that the surface OVs-assisted CoP electron bridge effectively boosted electrical conductivity and yielded ultrafast electron transfer rates. The theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that the surface OVs play a critical role in improving the electrical conductivity of the CoP electron bridge, thereby accelerating electron mobility. This research provides insights into interfacial OVs-modified transition metal phosphide (TMP) electron bridges and their potential application in heterojunctions for energy crisis mitigation and environmental remediation.

Abstract
Understanding how the morphology of a layered double hydroxide (LDH)-based catalyst alters its catalytic activity provides an available strategy for the rational design and fabrication of high-efficiency catalysts at a micro-scale. Herein, three nickel-iron layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) catalysts including 2D-plate-like hexagon (P-NiFe-LDH), 2D/3D-flower-like solid sphere (FS-NiFe-LDH), and 2D/3D-flower-like hollow sphere (FH-NiFe-LDH) with regulable oxygen vacancies (OVs) were fabricated via a morphological regulation method of Ostwald ripening. The experimental results demonstrated that the three types of NiFe-LDH exhibited different abilities to activate persulfate (PS) for the abatement of acid orange 7 (AO7) with a sequence of FH-NiFe-LDH > FS-NiFe-LDH > P-NiFe-LDH. Particularly, the FH-NiFe-LDH with a hollow structure exhibited the most considerable activity with the first-order rate constant up to k = 0.02639 min-1, benefiting from the highly accessible surface areas, higher intrinsic activity of the exposed crystal planes, and abundant OVs. Characterizations further confirmed that these properties could profoundly allow for more exposure of active sites and enhance the reactivity of OV-connected Ni or Fe to facilitate electron transfer and generate more reactive radicals, therefore elucidating the morphologic origin of catalytic performance. Based on the quenching experiments, sulfate radicals (SO4·-), hydroxyl radicals (·OH), and oxygen radicals (O2·-) were identified to be involved in the decomposition process. Furthermore, the continuous redox cycle of Ni(II)/Ni(III)/Ni(II) and Fe(II)/Fe(III)/Fe(II) was responsible for the generation of active radicals via activating PS.

Abstract
Cluster-continuum model calculations were conducted to decipher the mechanism of water oxidation catalyzed by a mononuclear copper complex. Among various O-O bond formation mechanisms investigated in this study, the most favorable pathway involved the nucleophilic attack of OH- onto the .+ L-CuII -OH- intermediate. During such process, the initial binding of OH- to the proximity of .+ L-CuII -OH- would result in the spontaneous oxidation of OH- , leading to OH⋅ radical and CuII -OH- species. The further O-O coupling between OH⋅ radical and CuII -OH- was associated with a barrier of 14.8 kcal mol-1 , leading to the formation of H2 O2 intermediate. Notably, the formation of "CuIII -O.- " species, a widely proposed active species for O-O bond formation, was found to be thermodynamically unfavorable and could be bypassed during the catalytic reactions. On the basis the present calculations, a catalytic cycle of the mononuclear copper complex-catalyzed water oxidation was proposed.

Abstract
Electrochemical energy conversion and storage through hydrogen has revolutionized sustainable energy systems using fuel cells and electrolyzers. Regrettably, the sluggish alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) hampers advances in fuel cells. Herein, we report a Pt/Ni3N-Mo2C bifunctional electrocatalyst toward HOR and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The Pt/Ni3N-Mo2C exhibits remarkable HOR/HER performance in alkaline media. The mass activity at 50 mV and exchange current density of HOR are 5.1 and 1.5 times that of commercial Pt/C, respectively. Moreover, it possesses an impressive HER activity with an overpotential of 11 mV @ 10 mA cm-2, which is lower than that of Pt/C and most reported electrocatalysts under the same conditions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations combined with experimental results reveal that Pt/Ni3N-Mo2C not only possesses an optimal balance between hydrogen binding energy (HBE) and OH- adsorption but also facilitates water adsorption and dissociation on the catalyst surface, which contribute to the excellent HOR/HER performance. Thus, this work may guide bifunctional HOR/HER catalyst design in the conversion and transport of energy.

Abstract
Converting CO2 to renewable fuels or valuable carbon compounds is an effective way to solve the global warming and energy crisis. Compared with other CO2 conversion methods, photocatalytic reduction of CO2 is more energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and has a broader application prospect. Layered double hydroxide (LDH) has attracted widespread attention as a two-dimensional material, composed of metal hydroxide layers, interlayer anions and water molecules. This review briefly introduces the basic theory of photocatalysis and the mechanism of CO2 reduction. The composition and properties of LDH are introduced. The research progress on LDH in the field of photocatalytic reduction of CO2 is elaborated from six aspects: directly as a catalyst, as a precursor for a catalyst, and by modification, intercalation, supporting with other materials and construction of a heterojunction. Finally, the development prospects of LDH are put forward. This review could provide an effective reference for the development of more efficient and reasonable photocatalysts based on LDH.

Abstract
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are expected to function well as electrocatalytic materials, owing to their widely adjustable composition and unique physical and chemical properties. Recently, HEA catalysts are extensively studied in the field of electrocatalysis; this motivated the authors to investigate the relationship between the structure and composition of HEAs and their electrocatalytic performance. In this review, the latest advances in HEA electrocatalysts are systematically summarized, with special focus on nitrogen fixation, the carbon cycle, water splitting, and fuel cells; in addition, by combining this with the characterization and analysis of HEA microstructures, rational design strategies for optimizing HEA electrocatalysts, including controllable preparation, component regulation, strain engineering, defect engineering, and theoretical prediction are proposed. Moreover, the existing issues and future trends of HEAs are predicted, which will help further develop these high-entropy materials.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) composed of octahedral ligand units centered with various transition metal atoms display unique electronic structures and thus attract significant attention in the field of electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reactions (OER). Intensive experimental explorations have therefore been carried out to investigate the LDHs synthesis, amorphous control, intrinsic material modifications, interfacing with other phases, strain, etc. There is still the need for a fundamental understanding of the structure-property relations, which could hinder the design of the next generation of the LDHs catalysts. In this review, we firstly provide the crystal structure information accompanied by the corresponding electronic structures. Then, we discuss the conflicts of the active sites on the NiFe LDHs and propose the synergistic cooperation among the ligand units during OER to deliver a different angle for understanding the current structure-property relations beyond the single-site-based catalysis process. In the next section of the OER process, the linear relationship-induced theoretical limit of the overpotential is further discussed based on the fundamental aspects. To break up the linear relations, we have summarized the current strategies for optimizing the OER performance. Lastly, based on the understanding gained above, the perspective of the research challenges and opportunities are proposed.

Abstract
Exploration of high-efficiency and inexpensive electrode catalysts is of vital importance for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this research, an amorphous Co-Al-P layer was constructed on the surface of CoAl layered double hydroxide (CoAl-LDH) via an in-situ wet phosphidation strategy. The core-shell CoAl-LDH@Co-Al-P on Ti mesh (CoAl-LDH@Co-Al-P/TM) as an active HER electrocatalyst demands an overpotential of 150 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at neutral pH. Moreover, CoAl-LDH@Co-Al-P/TM also exhibits good electrochemical stability and a superior Faradic efficiency of nearly 100%.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have attracted tremendous research interest in widely spreading applications. Most notably, transition-metal-bearing LDHs are expected to serve as highly active electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to their layered structure combined with versatile compositions. Furthermore, reducing the thickness of platelet LDH crystals to nanometer or even molecular scale via cleavage or delamination provides an important clue to enhance the activity. In this review, recent progresses on rational design of LDH nanosheets are reviewed, including direct synthesis via traditional coprecipitation, homogeneous precipitation, and newly developed topochemical oxidation as well as chemical exfoliation of parent LDH crystals. In addition, diverse strategies are introduced to modulate their electrochemical activity by tuning the composition of host metal cations and intercalated counter-anions, and incorporating dopants, cavities, and single atoms. In particular, hybridizing LDHs with conductive components or in situ growing them on conductive substrates to produce freestanding electrodes can further enhance their intrinsic catalytic activity. A brief discussion on future research directions and prospects is also summarized.
