Abstract
In an effort to develop the biomimetic chemistry of [FeFe]‑hydrogenases for catalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in aqueous environment, we herein report the integrations of diiron dithiolate complexes into carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through three different strategies and compare the electrochemical HER performances of the as-resulted 2Fe2S/CNT hybrids in neutral aqueous medium. That is, three new diiron dithiolate complexes [{(μ-SCH2)2N(C6H4CH2C(O)R)}Fe2(CO)6] (R = N-oxylphthalimide (1), NHCH2pyrene (2), and NHCH2Ph (3)) were prepared and could be further grafted covalently to CNTs via an amide bond (this 2Fe2S/CNT hybrid is labeled as H1) as well as immobilized noncovalently to CNTs via π-π stacking interaction (H2) or via simple physisorption (H3). Meanwhile, the molecular structures of 1-3 are determined by elemental analysis and spectroscopic as well as crystallographic techniques, whereas the structures and morphologies of H1-H3 are characterized by various spectroscopies and scanning electronic microscopy. Further, the electrocatalytic HER activity trend of H1 > H2 ≈ H3 is observed in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (pH = 7) through different electrochemical measurements, whereas the degradation processes of H1-H3 lead to their electrocatalytic deactivation in the long-term electrolysis as proposed by post operando analysis. Thus, this work is significant to extend the potential application of carbon electrode materials engineered with diiron molecular complexes as heterogeneous HER electrocatalysts for water splitting to hydrogen.

Abstract
The development of low-cost and efficient photocatalysts to achieve water splitting to hydrogen (H2) is highly desirable but remains challenging. Herein, we design and synthesize two porous polymers (Co-Salen-P and Fe-Salen-P) by covalent bonding of salen metal complexes and pyrene chromophores for photocatalytic H2 evolution. The catalytic results demonstrate that the two polymers exhibit excellent catalytic performance for H2 generation in the absence of additional noble-metal photosensitizers and cocatalysts. Particularly, the H2 generation rate of Co-Salen-P reaches as high as 542.5 μmol g-1 h-1, which is not only 6 times higher than that of Fe-Salen-P but also higher than a large amount of reported Pt-assisted photocatalytic systems. Systematic studies show that Co-Salen-P displays faster charge separation and transfer efficiencies, thereby accounting for the significantly improved photocatalytic activity. This study provides a facile and efficient way to fabricate high-performance photocatalysts for H2 production.

Abstract
The oxidative coupling reaction of two Ni(II) porphyrins meso-substituted with three and four phenyl groups, Ni(II) 5,10,15-(triphenyl)porphyrin (NiPh3P) and Ni(II) 5,10,15,20-(tetraphenyl)porphyrin (NiPh4P) respectively, was investigated in a oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD) process. Irrespective of the number of meso-substituents, high-resolution mass spectrometry evidences the formation of oligomeric species containing up to five porphyrin units. UV-Vis-NIR and XPS analyses of the oCVD films highlighted a strong dependence of the intermolecular coupling reaction with the substrate temperature. Specifically, higher substrate temperatures yield lowering of valence band maxima and reduction of the band gap. The formation of conjugated polymeric assemblies results in increased conductivities as compared to their sublimed counterparts. Yet, electrocatalytic measurements exhibit water oxidation onset overpotentials (308 mV for pNiPh3P and 343 mV for pNiPh4P) comparatively higher than the onset overpotential measured for the oCVD film from Ni(II) 5,15-(diphenyl)porphyrin (pNiPh2P), i. e. 283 mV. Although DFT and comparative oCVD studies suggest the formation of directly fused porphyrins involving 'phenyl-mediated' and β-β linkages when reacting tetra-meso-substituted porphyrins, the present findings highlight that multiple direct fusion (β-β/meso-meso/β-β or meso-β/β-meso) is essential for Ni(II) porphyrin-based conjugated polymers to enable a dinuclear radical oxo-coupling operating mechanism for water oxidation at low overpotential and durable catalytic activity.

Abstract
Ethylene and propylene, as essential precursors in the chemical industry, have been playing a pivotal role in the production of various value-added chemicals that find wide applications in diverse sectors, such as polymer synthesis, lithium-ion battery electrolytes, antifreeze agents and pharmaceuticals. Nevertheless, traditional methods for olefin functionalization including chlorohydrination and epoxidation involve energy-intensive steps and environment-detrimental by-products. In contrast, electrocatalysis is emerging as a promising and sustainable approach for olefin oxidation via utilizing renewable electricity. Recent advancements in energy storage and conversion technologies have intensified the research efforts toward designing efficient electrocatalysts for the selective oxidation of ethylene and propylene, highlighting the shift towards more sustainable production methods. Herein, we summarize recent progress in the electrocatalytic oxidation of ethylene and propylene, focusing on achievement in catalyst design, reaction system selection and mechanism exploration. We figure out the advantages of different oxidation methods for improved performance and discuss the various types of catalysts like noble metals, non-noble metals, metal oxides and carbon-based materials, in facilitating the electrochemical oxidation of ethylene and propylene. Finally, we also provide an overview of current challenges and problems requiring further works.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers with tailorable composition and microarchitecture are propitious for modulating catalytic properties and deciphering inherent structure-performance relationships. Herein, we report a facile linker engineering strategy to manipulate the electronic states of metallophthalocyanine conjugated polymers and uncover the vital role of organic linkers in facilitating electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Specifically, a set of cobalt phthalocyanine conjugated polymers (CoPc-CPs) wrapped onto carbon nanotubes (denoted CNTs@CoPc-CPs) are judiciously crafted via in situ assembling square-planar cobalt tetraaminophthalocyanine (CoPc(NH2)4) with different linear aromatic dialdehyde-based organic linkers in the presence of CNTs. Intriguingly, upon varying the electronic characteristic of organic linkers from terephthalaldehyde (TA) to 2,5-thiophenedicarboxaldehyde (TDA) and then to thieno/thiophene-2,5-dicarboxaldehyde (bTDA), their corresponding CNTs@CoPc-CPs exhibit gradually improved electrocatalytic ORR performance. More importantly, theoretical calculations reveal that the charge transfer from CoPc units to electron-withdrawing linkers (i.e., TDA and bTDA) drives the delocalization of Co d-orbital electrons, thereby downshifting the Co d-band energy level. Accordingly, the active Co centers with more positive valence state exhibit optimized binding energy toward ORR-relevant intermediates and thus a balanced adsorption/desorption pathway that endows significant enhancement in electrocatalytic ORR. This work demonstrates a molecular-level engineering route for rationally designing efficient polymer catalysts and gaining insightful understanding of electrocatalytic mechanisms.

Abstract
Attaching a dipolar molecule in a symmetric system induces a major change in the electronic structure, which may be reflected as the enhancement of the optical and charge-transfer properties of the combined system as compared to the pristine ones. Furthermore, the orientation of the dipolar molecule may also affect the said properties. This idea is explored in this work by taking porphyrinoid molecules as the pristine systems. We attached azulene, a dipolar molecule, at various positions of five porphyrinoid cores and studied the effect on charge-transfer and one- and two-photon absorption properties using the state-of-the-art RICC2 method. The attachment of azulene produces two major effects - firstly it introduces asymmetry in the system and, secondly, being dipolar, it makes the resultant molecule dipolar/quadrupolar. Porphyrin, N-confused porphyrin, sub-porphyrin, sapphyrin, and hexaphyrin are used as core porphyrinoid systems. The change in charge-transfer has been studied using the orbital analysis and charge-transfer distance parameter for the first five singlet states of the systems. The effect of orientation of azulene on the said properties is also explored. The insights gained from our observations are explored further at the dipole and transition dipole moment levels using a three-state model.

Abstract
Porphyrin atropisomerism, which arises from restricted σ-bond rotation between the macrocycle and a sufficiently bulky substituent, was identified in 1969 by Gottwald and Ullman in 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(o-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrins. Henceforth, an entirely new field has emerged utilizing this transformative tool. This review strives to explain the consequences of atropisomerism in porphyrins, the methods which have been developed for their separation and analysis and present the diverse array of applications. Porphyrins alone possess intriguing properties and a structure which can be easily decorated and molded for a specific function. Therefore, atropisomerism serves as a transformative tool, making it possible to obtain even a specific molecular shape. Atropisomerism has been thoroughly exploited in catalysis and molecular recognition yet presents both challenges and opportunities in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
High-valent iron-oxo species are one of the common intermediates in both biological and biomimetic catalytic oxidation reactions. Recently, hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding) has been proved to be critical in determining the selectivity and reactivity. However, few examples have been established for mechanistic insights into the H-bonding effect. Moreover, intramolecular H-bonding effect on both C-H activation and oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions in synthetic porphyrin model system has not been investigated yet. In this study, a series of heme-containing iron(IV)-oxo porphyrin species with or without intramolecular H-bonding are synthesized and characterized. Kinetic studies revealed that intramolecular H-bonding can significantly enhance the reactivity of iron(IV)-oxo species in OAT, C-H activation, and electron-transfer reactions. This unprecedented unified H-bonding effect is elucidated by theoretical calculations, which showed that intramolecular H-bonding interactions lower the energy of the anti-bonding orbital of iron(IV)-oxo porphyrin species, resulting in the enhanced reactivities in oxidation reactions irrespective of the reaction type. To the best of the knowledge, this is the first extensive investigation on the intramolecular H-bonding effect in heme system. The results show that H-bonding interactions have a unified effect with iron(IV)-oxo porphyrin species in all three investigated reactions.

Abstract
Developing high performance noble-metal-free electrocatalysts as an alternative to Pt-based catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in energy conversion devices is highly desirable. We report herein the preparation of a coordination-polymer (CP)-derived Fe/CP/C composite as an electrocatalyst for the ORR with excellent activity and stability both in solution and in Zn-air batteries. The Fe/CP/C catalyst was obtained from the pyrolysis of an iron porphyrin Fe(TPP)Cl (5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphyrin iron(III) chloride) grafted Zn-coordination polymer with dangling functional groups 4,4'-oxybisbenzoic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine ligands. The Fe/CP/C catalyst showed much higher ORR activity with a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.90 V (vs. RHE) than the Fe/C catalyst (E1/2 = 0.85 V) derived from the carbon-black-supported Fe porphyrins in 0.1 M KOH solution. When Fe/CP/C was used as the cathode electrocatalyst in Zn-air batteries (ZABs), the ZABs achieved a significantly higher open circuit voltage (OCV = 1.43 V) and maximum power density (Pmax = 142.8 mW cm-2) compared with Fe/C (OCV = 1.38 V, Pmax = 104.5 mW cm-2) and commercial 20 wt% Pt/C (OCV = 1.41 V, Pmax = 117.6 mW cm-2). Using dangling functional groups in CP to increase the loading efficiency of iron porphyrins offered a facile method to prepare high-performance noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for the ORR, which may provide promising applications to energy conversion devices.

Chemphyschem 2024; 25:e202400017. [PMID: 38319009 DOI: 10.1002/cphc.202400017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
Using functionalized supporting materials for the immobilization of molecular catalysts is an appealing strategy to improve the efficiency of molecular electrocatalysis. Herein, we report the covalent tethering of cobalt porphyrins on phenolic resins (PR) for improved electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). A cobalt porphyrin bearing an alkyl bromide substituent was covalently tethered on phenolic resins, through the substitution reaction of alkyl bromides with phenolic hydroxyl groups, to afford molecule-engineered phenolic resins (Co-PR). The resulted Co-PR was efficient for electrocatalytic ORR and OER by displaying an ORR half-wave potential of E1/2=0.78 V versus RHE and an OER overpotential of 420 mV to get 10 mA/cm2 current density. We propose that the many residual phenolic hydroxyl groups on PR will surround the tethered Co porphyrin and play critical roles in facilitating proton and electron transfers. Importantly, Co-PR outperformed unmodified PR and PR loaded with Co porphyrins through simple physical adsorption (termed Co@PR). The zinc-air battery assembled using Co-PR displayed a performance comparable to that using Pt/C+Ir/C. This work is significant to present phenolic resins as a functionalized material to support molecular electrocatalysts and demonstrate the strategy to improve molecular electrocatalysis with the use of phenolic resin residues.

Abstract
The electronic structure of metal complexes plays key roles in determining their catalytic features. However, controlling electronic structures to regulate reaction mechanisms is of fundamental interest but has been rarely presented. Herein, we report electronic tuning of Cu porphyrins to switch pathways of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Through controllable and regioselective β-oxidation of Cu porphyrin 1, we synthesized analogues 2-4 with one or two β-lactone groups in either a cis or trans configuration. Complexes 1-4 have the same Cu-N4 core site but different electronic structures. Although β-oxidation led to large anodic shifts of reductions, 1-4 displayed similar HER activities in terms of close overpotentials. With electrochemical, chemical and theoretical results, we show that the catalytically active species switches from a CuI species for 1 to a Cu0 species for 4. This work is thus significant to present mechanism-controllable HER via electronic tuning of catalysts.

Abstract
Increased demand for a carbon-neutral sustainable energy scheme augmented by climatic threats motivates the design and exploration of novel approaches that reserve intermittent solar energy in the form of chemical bonds in molecules and materials. In this context, inspired by biological processes, artificial photosynthesis has garnered significant attention as a promising solution to convert solar power into chemical fuels from abundantly found H2O. Among the two redox half-reactions in artificial photosynthesis, the four-electron oxidation of water according to 2H2O → O2 + 4H+ + 4e- comprises the major bottleneck and is a severe impediment toward sustainable energy production. As such, devising new catalytic platforms, with traditional concepts of molecular, materials and biological catalysis and capable of integrating the functional architectures of the natural oxygen-evolving complex in photosystem II would certainly be a value-addition toward this objective. In this review, we discuss the progress in construction of ideal water oxidation catalysts (WOCs), starting with the ingenuity of the biological design with earth-abundant transition metal ions, which then diverges into molecular, supramolecular and hybrid approaches, blurring any existing chemical or conceptual boundaries. We focus on the geometric, electronic, and mechanistic understanding of state-of-the-art homogeneous transition-metal containing molecular WOCs and summarize the limiting factors such as choice of ligands and predominance of environmentally unrewarding and expensive noble-metals, necessity of high-valency on metal, thermodynamic instability of intermediates, and reversibility of reactions that create challenges in construction of robust and efficient water oxidation catalyst. We highlight how judicious heterogenization of atom-efficient molecular WOCs in supramolecular and hybrid approaches put forth promising avenues to alleviate the existing problems in molecular catalysis, albeit retaining their fascinating intrinsic reactivities. Taken together, our overview is expected to provide guiding principles on opportunities, challenges, and crucial factors for designing novel water oxidation catalysts based on a synergy between conventional and contemporary methodologies that will incite the expansion of the domain of artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Metalloenzymes catalyze a wide range of chemical transformations, with the active site residues playing a key role in modulating chemical reactivity and selectivity. Unlike smaller synthetic catalysts, a metalloenzyme active site is embedded in a larger protein, which makes interrogation of electronic properties and geometric features with quantum mechanical calculations challenging. Here we implement the ability to fetch crystallographic structures from the Protein Data Bank and analyze the metal binding sites in the program molSimplify. We show the usefulness of the newly created protein3D class to extract the local environment around non-heme iron enzymes containing a two histidine motif and prepare 372 structures for quantum mechanical calculations. Our implementation of protein3D serves to expand the range of systems molSimplify can be used to analyze and will enable high-throughput study of metal-containing active sites in proteins.

Abstract
Substituents at the meso-site of metalloporphyrins profoundly influence the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) mechanism. This study employs density functional theory (DFT) to computationally analyze NiII-porphyrin and its hydrides derived from tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin molecules, presenting stereoisomers in ortho- or para-positions. The results reveal that the spatial resistance effect of meso-substituted groups at the ortho- and para-positions induces significant changes in Ni-N bond lengths, angles, and reaction dynamics. For ortho-position substituents forming complex I, a favorable 88.88 ų spherical space was created, facilitating proton coordination and the formation of H2 molecules; conversely, para-position substituents forming complex II impeded H2 formation until bimolecular complexes arose. Molecular dynamics (MD) analysis and comparison were conducted on the intermediation products of I-H2 and (II-H)2, focusing on the configuration and energy changes. In the I-H2 products, H2 molecules underwent separation after 150 fs and overcame the 2.2 eV energy barrier. Subsequently, significant alterations in the spatial structure were observed as complex I deformed. In the case of (II-H)2, it was influenced by the distinctive "sandwich" configuration; the spatial structure necessitated overcoming a 6.7 eV energy barrier for H2 detachment and a process observed after 2400 fs.

Abstract
Developing efficient oxygen evolution catalysts (OECs) made from earth-abundant elements is extremely important since the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with sluggish kinetics hinders the development of many energy-related electrochemical devices. Herein, an efficient strategy is developed to prepare conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) with abundant and uniform coordination sites by coupling the N-rich organic monomer 2,4,6-tris(5-bromopyrimidin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (TBPT) with Co(II) porphyrin. The resulting CMP-Py(Co) is further metallized with Co2+ ions to obtain CMP-Py(Co)@Co. Structural characterization results reveal that CMP-Py(Co)@Co has higher Co2+ content (12.20 wt %) and affinity toward water compared with CMP-Py(Co). Moreover, CMP-Py(Co)@Co exhibits an excellent OER activity with a low overpotential of 285 mV vs RHE at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 80.1 mV dec-1, which are significantly lower than those of CMP-Py(Co) (335 mV vs RHE and 96.8 mV dec-1). More interestingly, CMP-Py(Co)@Co outperforms most reported porous organic polymer-based OECs and the benchmark RuO2 catalyst (320 mV vs RHE and 87.6 mV dec-1). Additionally, Co2+-free CMP-Py(2H) has negligible OER activity. Thereby, the enhanced OER activity of CMP-Py(Co)@Co is attributed to the incorporation of Co2+ ions leading to rich active sites and enlarged electrochemical surface areas. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that Co2+-TBPT sites have higher activity than Co2+-porphyrin sites for the OER. These results indicate that the introduction of rich active metal sites in stable and conductive CMPs could provide novel guidance for designing efficient OECs.

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.

Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting over semiconductors is an important approach to solve the energy demand of human beings. Most photocatalytic H2 generation reactions are conducted in the presence of sacrificial agent. However, the use of sacrificial reagents increases the cost of hydrogen generation. Realizing photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production without the addition of sacrificial agents is a major challenge for photocatalysts. The porphyrin MTCPPOMe and P doped MnxCd1-xS make a significant contribution in facilitating the MnxCd1-xS photocatalytic pure water splitting to H2 reaction. Herein, a novel MTCPPOMe/P-MnxCd1-xS (M = 2H, Fe, Co, Ni) composite catalyst which can efficiently split pure water without using sacrificial agents is developed. As a result, the H2 generation rate of CoTCPPOMe/P-Mn0.5Cd0.5S is as high as 2.10 μmol h-1, which is 9.1 and 4.2 times higher than that of Mn0.5Cd0.5S (MCS) and P-Mn0.5Cd0.5S (P-MCS), respectively. P doped MnxCd1-xS inhibits the recombination of photogenerated carriers, and introduction of MTCPPOMe as co-catalyst enhances the reduction capacity. In summary, an efficient and economical photocatalystis prepared for pure water splitting to prepare hydrogen.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting offers the potential for environmentally friendly hydrogen and oxygen gas generation. Here, we present the synthesis, characterization, and electrochemical analyses of four organic polymers where metalloporphyrins are the active center nodes. These materials were obtained from the polymerization reaction of poly(p-phenylene terephtalamide) (PPTA) with the respective amino-functionalized metalloporphyrins, where M = Fe, 1; Co, 2; Ni, 3; Cu, 4. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy images (SEM and TEM) show that these polymers exhibit a layer-type morphology, which is attributed to hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking between the metalloporphyrin nodes. The synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), UV-Vis spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Among the materials studied, the cobalt-based polymer, 2, demonstrates a bifunctional electrocatalytic activity for oxygen (OER) and hydrogen (HER) evolution reactions with overpotentials (η10) of 337 mV and 435 mV, respectively. The Fe, 1, and Ni, 2, polymers are less active for HER with maximum current densities (jmax) of 12.6 and 19.1 mA cm-2 and η10 678 mV, 644 mV. Polymer 2 achieves a jmax of 37.7 mA cm-2 for HER and 133 mA cm-2 for OER. The copper-based material, 4, on the other hand, shows selectivity towards HER with an overpotential (η) of 436 mV and a maximum current density (j) of 45.5 mA cm-2. The bifunctional electrocatalytic performance was tested in the overall water-splitting setup, where polymer 2 requires a cell voltage of 1.64 V at 10 mA cm-2. This work presents a novel approach to heterogenized molecular systems, providing materials with exceptional structural characteristics and enhanced electrocatalytic capabilities.

Abstract
The development of durable platinum-group-metal-free oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts is a key research direction for enabling the wide use of fuel cells. Here, we use a combination of experimental measurements and density functional theory calculations to study the activity and durability of seven iron-based metallophthalocyanine (MPc) ORR catalysts that differ only in the identity of the substituent groups on the MPcs. While the MPcs show similar ORR activity, their durabilities as measured by the current decay half-life differ greatly. We find that the energy difference between the hydrogenated intermediate structure and the final demetalated structure (ΔEdemetalation) of the MPcs is linearly related to the degradation reaction barrier energy. Comparison to the degradation data for the previously studied metallocorrole systems suggested that ΔEdemetalation also serves as a descriptor for the corrole systems and that the high availability of protons at the active site due to the COOH group of the o-corrole decreases the durability.

Abstract
With effective utilization of the catalytic site, single-atom catalysts (SACs) supported by nitrogen atoms surrounding built-in pores of two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as porphyrin/phthalocyanine-based covalent organic frameworks, have been highly promising electrocatalysts in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) processes for the air electrode of the metal-air battery. However, the number of stable single-atom anchoring sites, i.e., accessible single-atom metal sites, has been concerning as a result of the appearance of heterogeneous or large and even supersized pores in substrate materials. 2D porous graphitic carbon nitride (PGCN) with a stronger stability and smaller component is regarded as a more potential alternative owing to similar controllability and designability. In this work, inspired by the robust coordinated TM-N4 environment of porphyrin/phthalocyanine molecules, novel p-C2N with a high density of porphyrin-like organic units is rationally designed. In well-designed p-C2N, a higher homogeneity and uniformity of coordination sites can enhance the electrocatalytic activity in the whole catalytic material and better prevent SACs from sintering and agglomerating into thermodynamically stable nanoclusters. Utilizing density functional theory (DFT), the stability of the p-C2N monolayer, TM@p-C2N, and OER/ORR catalytic activities of TM@p-C2N (TM including Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Os, Ir, Pt, and Au) are systematically evaluated. Among them, Ir@p-C2N (0.31 V of the OER and 0.36 V of the ORR), Co@p-C2N (0.47 and 0.22 V), and Rh@p-C2N (0.55 and 0.27 V) are screened as promising SACs for the bifunctional ORR and OER. The proposal of p-C2N guides a new direction for the development of TM-N-C-based SAC bifunctional electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Molecular hydrogen (H2 ) is a clean and renewable fuel that has garnered significant interest in the search for alternatives to fossil fuels. Here, we constructed an artificial DNAzyme composed of cobalt-protoporphyrin IX (CoPP) and G-quadruplex DNA, possessing a unique H2 Oint ligand between the CoPP and G-quartet planes. We show for the first time that CoPP-DNAzyme catalyzes photo-induced H2 production under anaerobic conditions with a turnover number (TON) of 1229 ± 51 over 12 h at pH 6.05 and 10 °C. Compared with free-CoPP, complexation with G-quadruplex DNA resulted in a 4.7-fold increase in H2 production activity. The TON of the CoPP-DNAzyme revealed an optimal acid-base equilibrium with a pKa value of 7.60 ± 0.05, apparently originating from the equilibrium between Co(III)-H- and Co(I) states. Our results demonstrate that the H2 Oint ligand can augment and modulate the intrinsic catalytic activity of H2 production catalysts. These systems pave the way to using DNAzymes for H2 evolution in the direct conversion of solar energy to H2 from water.

Abstract
The design of catalysts has attracted a great deal of attention in the field of electrocatalysis. The accurate design of the catalysts can avoid an unnecessary process that occurs during the blind trial. Based on the interaction between different metal species, a metallic compound supported by the carbon nanotube was designed. Among these compounds, RhFeP2CX (R-RhFeP2CX-CNT) was found to be in a rich-electron environment at the Fermi level (denoted as a flat Fermi surface), beneficial to the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). R-RhFeP2CX-CNT exhibits a small overpotential of 15 mV at the current density of 10 mA·cm-2 in acidic media. Moreover, the mass activity of R-RhFeP2CX-CNT is 21597 A·g-1, which also demonstrates the advance of the active sites on R-RhFeP2CX-CNT. Therefore, R-RhFeP2CX-CNT can be an alternative catalyst applied in practical production, and the strategies of a flat Fermi surface will be a reliable strategy for catalyst designing.

Abstract
As a non-noble metal electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the binary NiFe layer double hydroxide (LDH) is expected to replace Ru-based and Ir-based anode materials for water decomposition. To attain threshold current density, nevertheless, a somewhat significant overpotential is still needed. In this work, layered double hydroxides of NiFe LDH are doped with V to form the terpolymer NiFeV LDH, which greatly increases the intrinsic activity of NiFe LDH and improves OER performance. This process is a straightforward and quick one-step electrodeposition process. Notably, NiFeV/NF has a low overpotential (218 mV at 10 mA cm-2) and faster kinetics (Tafel slope of 31 mV dec-1) as well as excellent durability and stability in 1 M KOH solution. In addition, the OER performance of the catalyst prepared in this work is better than that of a non-valuable metal catalyst that was recently reported. The V-doped NiFe LDH layered double hydroxides and the investigation of electrodeposition electrocatalytic methods in this work offer a fresh opportunity for the advancement of electrochemical technology.

Abstract
Thin films of cobalt porphyrin conjugated polymers bearing different substituents are prepared by oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD) and investigated as heterogeneous electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Interestingly, the electrocatalytic activity originates from polymer-derived, highly transparent Co(Fe)Ox species formed under operational alkaline conditions. Structural, compositional, electrical, and electrochemical characterizations reveal that the newly formed active catalyst greatly benefited from both the polymeric conformation of the porphyrin-based thin film and the inclusion of the iron-based species originating from the oCVD reaction. High-resolution mass spectrometry analyses combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that a close relationship exists between the porphyrin substituent, the extension of the π-conjugated system cobalt porphyrin conjugated polymer, and the dynamics of the polymer conversion leading to catalytically active Co(Fe)Ox species. This work evidences the precatalytic role of cobalt porphyrin conjugated polymers and uncovers the benefit of extended π-conjugation of the molecular matrix and iron inclusion on the formation and performance of the true active catalyst.

Abstract
The potential of porous organic polymers (POPs) toward electrocatalytic water splitting have attracted considerable scientific attention, due to their high specific surface areas, superlative porosity and diverse electronic structures; yet it remains challenging. Herein, we report a facile synthesized novel nitrogen-rich azo-bridged metallated porphyrin POP (CoTAPP-CoTNPP) for improving the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. The incorporation of the cobalt porphyrins and the azo groups endows CoTAPP-CoTNPP with effective charge transfer efficiency and large π-conjugated porous frameworks, thus enhancing the HER performance. Origins of the excellent HER performance of the material are evaluated using a series of structural and electrochemical measurements. Remarkably, CoTAPP-CoTNPP exhibits low overpotentials of 103 and 170 mV to reach 10 mA cm-2 in acidic and alkaline media, respectively, outperforming many previously reported HER electrocatalysts. These results demonstrate the enormous potential of the as-prepared azo-linked porphyrin POP for electrocatalytic water splitting.

Abstract
In nature, cytochrome c oxidases catalyze the 4e- oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the heme/Cu site, in which CuI is used to assist O2 activation. Because of the thermodynamic barrier to generate CuI , synthetic Fe-porphyrin/Cu complexes usually show moderate electrocatalytic ORR activity. We herein report on a Co-corrole/Co complex 1-Co for energy-efficient electrocatalytic ORR. By hanging a CoII ion over Co corrole, 1-Co realizes electrocatalytic 4e- ORR with a half-wave potential of 0.89 V versus RHE, which is outstanding among corrole-based electrocatalysts. Notably, 1-Co outperforms Co corrole hanged with CuII or ZnII . We revealed that the hanging CoII ion can provide an electron to improve O2 binding thermodynamically and dynamically, a function represented by the biological CuI ion of the heme/Cu site. This work is significant to present a remarkable ORR electrocatalyst and to show the vital role of a second-sphere redox-active metal ion in promoting O2 binding and activation.

Abstract
Metalloenzymes make extensive use of manganese centers for oxidative catalysis, including water oxidation; the need to develop improved synthetic catalysts for these processes has long motivated the development of bioinspired manganese complexes. Herein, we report a series of bpy-(imidazole)n (n = 1 or 2) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl) ligands and their Mn2+ complexes. Four Mn2+ complexes are structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing different tridentate and tetradentate ligand coordination modes. Cyclic voltammetry of the complexes is consistent with ligand-centered reductions and metal-centered oxidations, and UV-vis spectroscopy complemented by TD-DFT calculations shows primarily ligand-centered transitions with minor contributions from charge-transfer type transitions at higher energies. In solution, ESI-MS studies provide evidence for ligand reorganization, suggesting complex speciation behavior. The oxidation of the complexes in the presence of water is probed using cyclic voltammetry, but the low stability of the complexes in aqueous solution leads to decomposition and precludes their ultimate application as aqueous electrocatalysts. Possible reasons for the low stability and suggestions for improvement are discussed.

Abstract
Commercial Pt/C (Com. Pt/C) electrocatalysts are considered optimal for oxygen reduction and hydrogen evolution reactions (ORR and HER). However, their high Pt content and poor stability restrict their large-scale application. In this study, photocatalytic synthesis was used to reduce ultrafine Pt nanoparticles in-situ on a composite support of TiO2 -decorated nitrogen-doped carbon (TiO2 -NC). The nitrogen-doped carbon had a large surface area and electronic effects that ensured the uniform dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles to form a highly photoactive and stable support. TiO2 -NC served as a composite support that enhanced the dispersibility and stability of ultrafine Pt electrocatalyst, owing to the presence of N sites and the strong metal-support interaction. Relative to Com. Pt/C, the as-obtained Pt/TiO2 -NC had positive shifts of 44 and 10 mV in the ORR half-wave potential and HER overpotential at -10 mA cm-2 , respectively. After an accelerated durability test, Pt/TiO2 -NC had lower losses in electrochemical specific area (0.7 %) and electrocatalytic activity (0 mV shift) than Com. Pt/C (25.6 %, 22 mV shift). These results indicate that the developed strategy enabled the facile synthesis and stabilization of ultrafine Pt nanoparticles, which improved the utilization efficiency and long-term stability of Pt-based electrocatalysts.

Fluorinated Mn(III)/(II)-Porphyrin with Redox-Responsive 1 H and 19 F Relaxation Properties. Chemistry 2023; 29:e202301442.

Abstract
A new fluorinated manganese porphyrin, (Mn-TPP-p-CF3 ) is reported capable of providing, based on the Mn(III)/Mn(II) equilibrium, dual 1 H relaxivity and 19 F NMR response to redox changes. The physical-chemical characterization of both redox states in DMSO-d6 /H2 O evidenced that the 1 H relaxometric and 19 F NMR properties are appropriate for differential redox MRI detection. The Mn(III)-F distance (dMn-F =9.7-10 Å), as assessed by DFT calculations, is well tailored to allow for adequate paramagnetic effect of Mn(III) on 19 F T1 and T2 relaxation times. Mn-TPP-p-CF3 has a reversible Mn(II)/Mn(III) redox potential of 0.574 V vs. NHE in deoxygenated aqueous HEPES/ THF solution. The reduction of Mn(III)-TPP-p-CF3 in the presence of ascorbic acid is slowly, but fully reversed in the presence of air oxygen, as monitored by UV-Vis spectrometry and 19 F NMR. The broad 1 H and 19 F NMR signals of Mn(III)-TPP-p-CF3 disappear in the presence of 1 equivalent ascorbate replaced by a shifted and broadened 19 F NMR signal from Mn(II)-TPP-p-CF3 . Phantom 19 F MR images in DMSO show a MRI signal intensity decrease upon reduction of Mn(III)-TPP-p-CF3 , retrieved upon complete reoxidation in air within ~24 h. 1 H NMRD curves of the Mn(III)/(II)-TPP-p-CF3 chelates in mixed DMSO/water solvent have the typical shape of Mn(II)/Mn(III) porphyrins.

Abstract
A newly designed copper complex of 5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl)-10,20-bis(o-carborane)porphyrin (1) was synthesized and tested for the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In acetonitrile, 1 was much more efficient than Cu 5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin (2) for electrocatalytic HER by shifting the catalytic wave to the anodic direction by 190 mV. In aqueous media, 1 also outperformed 2 by achieving higher current densities under smaller overpotentials. This enhancement was attributed to the aromatic and the strong electron-withdrawing properties of o-carborane groups. This work is significant to address the crucial effects of meso-(o-carborane) substituents of metal porphyrins on boosting the electrocatalytic HER.

Abstract
At present, porphyrin is developing rapidly in the fields of medicine, energy, catalysts, etc. More and more reports on its application are being published. This paper mainly takes the ingenious utilization of porphyrin derivatives in perovskite solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, and lithium batteries as the background to review the design idea of functional materials based on the porphyrin structural unit in the energy sector. In addition, the modification and improvement strategies of porphyrin are presented by visually showing the molecular structures or the design synthesis routes of its functional materials. Finally, we provide some insights into the development of novel energy storage materials based on porphyrin frameworks.

Abstract
Over the last decades, much effort has been devoted to the construction of protein and peptide-based metalloporphyrin catalysts capable of promoting difficult transformations with high selectivity. In this context, mechanistic studies are fundamental to elucidate all the factors that contribute to catalytic performances and product selectivity. In our previous work, we selected the synthetic peptide-porphyrin conjugate MnMC6*a as a proficient catalyst for indole oxidation, promoting the formation of a 3-oxindole derivative with unprecedented selectivity. In this work, we have evaluated the role of the metal ion in affecting reaction outcome, by replacing manganese with iron in the MC6*a scaffold. Even though product selectivity is not altered upon metal substitution, FeMC6*a shows a lower substrate conversion and prolonged reaction times with respect to its manganese analogue. Experimental and theoretical studies have enabled us to delineate the reaction free energy profiles for both catalysts, indicating different thermodynamic limiting steps, depending on the nature of the metal ion.

Abstract
There has been a widespread interest in developing self-assembled porphyrin nanostructures to mimic nature's light-harvesting processes. Herein, porphyrin-based coordination polymer gel (CPG) has been developed as a "soft" photocatalyst material for hydrogen (H2) production from water under visible light. The CPG offers a hierarchical nanofibrous network structure obtained through self-assembly of a terpyridine alkyl-amide appended porphyrin (TPY-POR)-based low molecular weight gelator with ruthenium ions (RuII) and produces H2 with a rate of 5.7 mmol g-1 h-1 in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) as a sacrificial electron donor. Further, the [Fe2(bdt)(CO)6] (dbt = 1,2-benzenedithiol) cocatalyst, which can mimic the activity of iron hydrogenase, is coassembled in the CPG and shows remarkable improvement in H2 evolution (catalytic activity; rate ∼10.6 mmol g-1 h-1 and turnover number ∼1287). The significant enhancement in catalytic activity was supported by several controlled experiments, including femtosecond transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy and also DFT calculation. The TA study supported the cascade electron transfer process from porphyrin core to [Ru(TPY)2]2+ center, and subsequently, the electron transfers to the cocatalyst [Fe2(bdt)(CO)6] for H2 production.

Abstract
ConspectusClosed-loop cycling of green hydrogen is a promising alternative to the current hydrocarbon economy for mitigating the energy crisis and environmental pollution. It stores energy from renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower into the chemical bond of dihydrogen (H2) via (photo)electrochemical water splitting, and then the stored energy can be released on demand through the reverse reactions in H2-O2 fuel cells. The sluggish kinetics of the involved half-reactions like hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) limit its realization. Moreover, considering the local gas-liquid-solid triphase microenvironments during H2 generation and utilization, rapid mass transport and gas diffusion are critical as well. Accordingly, developing cost-effective and active electrocatalysts featuring three-dimensional hierarchically porous structures are highly desirable to promote the energy conversion efficiency. Traditionally, the synthetic approaches of porous materials include soft/hard templating, sol-gel, 3D printing, dealloying, and freeze-drying, which often need tedious procedures, high temperature, expensive equipment, and/or harsh physiochemical conditions. In contrast, dynamic electrodeposition on bubbles using the in situ formed bubbles as templates can be conducted at ambient conditions with an electrochemical workstation. Moreover, the whole preparation process can be finished within minutes/hours, and the resulting porous materials can be employed as catalytic electrodes directly, avoiding the use of polymeric binders like Nafion and the consequent issues like limited catalyst loading, reduced conductivity, and inhibited mass transport.In this Account, we summarize our contributions to the dynamic electrodeposition on bubbles toward advanced porous electrocatalysts for green hydrogen cycling. These dynamic electrosynthesis strategies include potentiodynamic electrodeposition that linearly scans the applied potentials, galvanostatic electrodeposition that fixes the applied currents, and electroshock which quickly switches the applied potentials. The resulting porous electrocatalysts range from transition metals to alloys, nitrides, sulfides, phosphides, and their hybrids. We mainly focus on the 3D porosity design of the electrocatalysts by tuning the electrosynthesis parameters to tailor the behaviors of bubble co-generation and thus the reaction interface. Then, their electrocatalytic applications for HER, OER, overall water splitting (OWS), biomass oxidation (to replace OER), and HOR are introduced, with a special emphasis on the porosity-promoted activity. Finally, the remaining challenges and future perspective are also discussed. We hope this Account will encourage more efforts into this attractive research field of dynamic electrodeposition on bubbles for various energy catalytic reactions like carbon dioxide/monoxide reduction, nitrate reduction, methane oxidation, chlorine evolution, and others.

Abstract
There have been few reports on the substituent effect of main-group-element corrole complexes as ligand-centered homogeneous electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The key to comprehend the catalytic mechanism and develop efficient catalysts is the elucidation of the effects of electronic structure on the performance of energy-related small molecules. In this work, the "push-pull" electronic effect of the substituents on electrocatalytic HER of phosphorus corroles was investigated by using 5,10,15-tris(phenyl) corrole phosphorus (1P), 10-pentafluorophenyl-5,15-bis(phenyl) corrole phosphorus (2P), 10-phenyl-5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl) corrole phosphorus (3P), 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl) corrole phosphorus (4P) complexes bearing hydroxyl axial ligands and different numbers of fluorine atoms on the meso-aryl substituents. The results revealed that the catalytic HER activity of phosphorus corroles decreased with the increasing of fluorine atom numbers, it follows in the order 1P>2P>3P>4P. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the corrole 1P has the lowest free energy barrier in catalytic HER.

Abstract
The extraordinary potential of hydrogen as a clean and sustainable fuel has sparked the interest of the scientific community to find environmentally friendly methods for its production. Biological catalysts are the most attractive solution, as they usually operate under mild conditions and do not produce carbon-containing byproducts. Hydrogenases promote reversible proton reduction to hydrogen in a variety of anoxic bacteria and algae, displaying unparallel catalytic performances. Attempts to use these sophisticated enzymes in scalable hydrogen production have been hampered by limitations associated with their production and stability. Inspired by nature, significant efforts have been made in the development of artificial systems able to promote the hydrogen evolution reaction, via either electrochemical or light-driven catalysis. Starting from small-molecule coordination compounds, peptide- and protein-based architectures have been constructed around the catalytic center with the aim of reproducing hydrogenase function into robust, efficient, and cost-effective catalysts. In this review, we first provide an overview of the structural and functional properties of hydrogenases, along with their integration in devices for hydrogen and energy production. Then, we describe the most recent advances in the development of homogeneous hydrogen evolution catalysts envisioned to mimic hydrogenases.

Abstract
Modifying non-precious metal porphyrins at the meso-position is sufficient to further improve the ability to activate O2 and the selectivity of the corresponding redox products. In this study, a crown ether-appended Fe(III) porphyrin complex (FeTC4PCl) was formed by replacing Fe(III) porphyrin (FeTPPCl) at the meso-position. The reactions of FeTPPCl and FeTC4PCl catalysed by O2 oxidation of cyclohexene under different conditions were studied, and three main products, 2-cyclohexen-1-ol (1), 2-cyclohexen-1-one (2), and 7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane (3), were obtained. The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time, and the addition of axial coordination compounds on the reactions were investigated. The conversion of cyclohexene reached 94% at 70 °C after 12 h, and the selectivity toward product 1 was 73%. The geometrical structure optimization, molecular orbital energy level analysis, atomic charge, spin density, and density of orbital states analysis of FeTPPCl, FeTC4PCl, as well as the oxygenated complexes (Fe-O2)TCPPCl and (Fe-O2)TC4PCl formed after adsorption of O2, were carried out using the DFT method. The results of thermodynamic quantity variation with reaction temperature and Gibbs free energy variation were also analysed. Finally, based on experimental and theoretical analysis, the mechanism of the cyclohexene oxidation reaction with FeTC4PCl as a catalyst and O2 as an oxidant was deduced, and the reaction mechanism was obtained as a free radical chain reaction process.

Abstract
For the electrooxidation of propylene into 1,2-propylene glycol (PG), the process involves two key steps of the generation of *OH and the transfer of *OH to the C═C bond in propylene. The strong *OH binding energy (EB(*OH)) favors the dissociation of H2O into *OH, whereas the transfer of *OH to propylene will be impeded. The scaling relationship of the EB(*OH) plays a key role in affecting the catalytic performance toward propylene electrooxidation. Herein, we adopt an immobilized Ag pyrazole molecular catalyst (denoted as AgPz) as the electrocatalyst. The pyrrolic N-H in AgPz could undergo deprotonation to form pyrrolic N (denoted as AgPz-Hvac), which can be protonated reversibly. During propylene electrooxidation, the strong EB(*OH) on AgPz favors the dissociation of H2O into *OH. Subsequently, the AgPz transforms into AgPz-Hvac that possesses weak EB(*OH), benefiting to the further combination of *OH and propylene. The dynamically reversible interconversion between AgPz and AgPz-Hvac accompanied by changeable EB(*OH) breaks the scaling relationship, thus greatly lowering the reaction barrier. At 2.0 V versus Ag/AgCl electrode, AgPz achieves a remarkable yield rate of 288.9 mmolPG gcat-1 h-1, which is more than one order of magnitude higher than the highest value ever reported.

Abstract
Directly fused nickel(ii) porphyrins are successfully investigated as heterogeneous single-site catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Conjugated polymer thin films from Ni(ii) 5,15-(di-4-methoxycarbonylphenyl)porphyrin (pNiDCOOMePP) and Ni(ii) 5,15-diphenylporphyrin (pNiDPP) showed an OER onset overpotential of 270 mV, and current densities of 1.6 mA cm-2 and 1.2 mA cm-2 at 1.6 V vs. RHE, respectively, representing almost a hundred times higher activity than those of monomeric thin films. The fused porphyrin thin films are more kinetically and thermodynamically active than their non-polymerized counterparts mainly due to the formation of conjugated structures enabling a dinuclear radical oxo-coupling (ROC) mechanism at low overpotential. More importantly, we have deciphered the role of the porphyrin substituent in the conformation and performance of porphyrin conjugated polymers as (1) to control the extension of the conjugated system during the oCVD reaction, allowing the retention of the valence band deep enough to provide a high thermodynamic water oxidation potential, (2) to provide a flexible molecular geometry to facilitate O2 formation from the interaction between the Ni-O sites and to weaken the π-bond of the *Ni-O sites for enhanced radical character, and (3) to optimize the water interaction with the central metal cation of the porphyrin for superior electrocatalytic properties. These findings open the scope for molecular engineering and further integration of directly fused porphyrin-based conjugated polymers as efficient heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
Recent decades have seen increasing interest in developing highly active and selective electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The active site environment of cytochrome c oxidases (CcOs), including electrostatic and hydrogen-bonding interactions, plays an important role in promoting the selective conversion of dioxygen to water. Herein, we report the synthesis of three CoIII corroles, namely 1 (with a 10-phenyl ortho-trimethylammonium cationic group), 2 (with a 10-phenyl ortho-dimethylamine group) and 3 (with a 10-phenyl para-trimethylammonium cationic group) as well as their electrocatalytic ORR activities in both acidic and neutral solutions. We discovered that 1 is much more active and selective than 2 and 3 for the electrocatalytic four-electron ORR. Importantly, 1 showed ORR activities with half-wave potentials at E1/2 = 0.75 V versus RHE in 0.5 M H2SO4 solutions and at E1/2 = 0.70 V versus RHE in neutral 0.1 M phosphate buffer solutions. This work is significant for outlining a strategy to increase both the activity and selectivity of metal corroles for the electrocatalytic ORR by introducing cationic units.

Abstract
Metal-free catalysts are made by the elements with infinite reserve in nature and, therefore, show the potential for large-scale applications in energy devices including metal-air batteries. The construction of metal-air batteries prefers using self-supporting catalysts with favorable activity as well as fast kinetics. However, it is challenging due to the limited electropositivity of metal-free catalysts for O-O bond formation in oxygen evolution reaction (OER), scaling relationship restrictions between OER and oxygen reduction reaction, and difficulty in porosity construction on the monolith electrode surface. In this contribution, through developing a facile methodology of quenching high-temperature carbon clothes in liquid nitrogen, a self-supported carbon cloth with bifunctional active graphene skin and fast kinetics is well constructed to serve as the air cathode in metal-air batteries. Regulated oxygen species and three-dimensionally hierarchical porosity are well constructed on the carbon fiber surfaces, contributing high intrinsic activity and prominently enhanced kinetics, which leads to favorable performances in aqueous as well as flexible rechargeable zinc-air batteries. The work proposed a promising strategy in the rational design and smart synthesis of fast-kinetic monolith electrodes, which refreshes concepts and strategies of advanced material fabrication, and also bridges material science and practical energy devices.

Abstract
Zero-emission hydrogen and oxygen production are critical for the UK to reach net-zero greenhouse gasses by 2050. Electrochemical techniques such as water splitting (electrolysis) coupled with renewables energy can provide a unique approach to achieving zero emissions. Many studies exploring electrocatalysts need to "electrically wire" to their material to measure their performance, which usually involves immobilization upon a solid electrode. We demonstrate that significant differences in the calculated onset potential for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) can be observed when using screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) of differing connection lengths which are immobilized with a range of electrocatalysts. This can lead to false improvements in the reported performance of different electrocatalysts and poor comparisons between the literature. Through the use of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, uncompensated ohmic resistance can be overcome providing more accurate Tafel analysis.

Abstract
The development of potent H2 production catalysts is a key aspect in our journey toward the establishment of a sustainable carbon-neutral power infrastructure. Hydrogenase enzymes provide the blueprint for designing efficient catalysts by the rational combination of central metal core and protein scaffold-based outer coordination sphere (OCS). Traditionally, a biomimetic catalyst is crafted by including natural amino acids as OCS features around a synthetic metal motif to functionally imitate the metalloenzyme activity. Here, we have pursued an unconventional approach and implanted two distinct drug molecules (isoniazid and nicotine hydrazide) at the axial position of a cobalt core to create a new genre of synthetic catalysts. The resultant cobalt complexes are active for both electrocatalytic and photocatalytic H2 production in near-neutral water, where they significantly enhance the catalytic performance of the unfunctionalized parent cobalt complex. The drug molecules showcased a dual effect as they influence the catalytic HER by improving the surrounding proton relay along and exerting subtle electronic effects. The isoniazid-ligated catalyst C1 outperformed the nicotine hydrazide-bound complex C2, as it produced H2 from water (pH 6.0) at a rate of 3960 s-1 while exhibiting Faradaic efficiency of about 90 %. This strategy opens up newer avenues of bio-inspired catalyst design beyond amino acid-based OCS features.

Abstract
Synthesizing large-area free-standing covalent organic framework (COF) films is of vital importance for their applications but is still a big challenge. Herein, we reported the synthesis of large metalloporphyrin-based COF films and their applications for oxygen electrocatalysis. The reaction of meso-benzohydrazide-substituted metal porphyrins with tris-aldehyde linkers afforded free-standing COF films at the liquid-air interface. These films can be scaled up to 3000 cm2 area and display great mechanical stability and structural integrity. Importantly, the Co-porphyrin-based films are efficient for electrocatalytic O2 reduction and evolution reactions. A flexible, all-solid-state Zn-air battery was assembled using the films and showed high performance with a charge-discharge voltage gap of 0.88 V at 1 mA cm-2 and high stability under bent conditions (0° to 180°). This work thus presents a strategy to synthesize functionalized COF films with high quality for uses in flexible electronics.
