Abstract
The conversion of CO2 into liquid fuels, using only sunlight and water, offers a promising path to carbon neutrality. An outstanding challenge is to achieve high efficiency and product selectivity. Here, we introduce a wireless photocatalytic architecture for conversion of CO2 and water into methanol and oxygen. The catalytic material consists of semiconducting nanowires decorated with core-shell nanoparticles, with a copper-rhodium core and a chromium oxide shell. The Rh/CrOOH interface provides a unidirectional channel for proton reduction, enabling hydrogen spillover at the core-shell interface. The vectorial transfer of protons, electrons, and hydrogen atoms allows for switching the mechanism of CO2 reduction from a proton-coupled electron transfer pathway in aqueous solution to hydrogenation of CO2 with a solar-to-methanol efficiency of 0.22%. The reported findings demonstrate a highly efficient, stable, and scalable wireless system for synthesis of methanol from CO2 that could provide a viable path toward carbon neutrality and environmental sustainability.

Abstract
Commercial stainless steel has attracted increasing interest due to their rich content in transition metal elements and corrosion resistance properties. In this work, we design a facile and rapid route to in-situ fabricate the Cr doped FeNi layered double hydroxides nanosheets (LDHs) on modified stainless steel (Cr-FeNi LDH @ ESS) under ambient condition.The ultra small scaled 2D structure only around 20 nm diameter and metal ions with multivalent oxidation state were observed on the in situ fabricated LDHs, which provides high active area and active sites and thus promote excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The Cr-FeNi LDH @ESS electrocatalysts exhibit an over potential of 280 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and achieves a Tafel slope of 44 mV dec-1 for OER in the 1.0 M KOH aqueous solution. We anticipate that the operating strategy of our system may promote the development of commercial non-precious productions as the efficient electrocatalysts for energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
Environmentally friendly energy sources (e.g., hydrogen) require an urgent development targeting to address the problem of energy scarcity. Electrocatalytic water splitting is being explored as a convenient catalytic reaction in this context, and promising amorphous nanomaterials (ANMs) are receiving increasing attention due to their excellent catalytic properties.Oxygen group-based amorphous nanomaterials (O-ANMs) are an important component of the broad family of ANMs due to their unique amorphous structure, large number of defects, and abundant randomly oriented bonds, O-ANMs induce the generation of a larger number of active sites, which favors a better catalytic activity. Meanwhile, amorphous materials can disrupt the inherent features of conventional crystalline materials regarding electron transfer paths, resulting in higher flexibility. O-ANMs mainly include VIA elements such as oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and other transition metals, most of which are reported to be free of noble metals and have comparable performance to commercial catalysts Pt/C or IrO2 and RuO2 in electrocatalysis. This review covers the features and reaction mechanism of O-ANMs, the synthesis strategies to prepare O-ANMs, as well as the application of O-ANMs in electrocatalytic water splitting. Last, the challenges and prospective remarks for future development in O-ANMs for electrocatalytic water splitting are concluded.

Abstract
Bottom-up electrochemical synthesis of atomically thin materials is desirable yet challenging, especially for non-vanderWaals (non-vdW) materials. Thicknesses below a few nanometers have not been reported yet, posing the question how thin can non-vdW materials be electrochemically synthesized. This is important as materials with (sub-)unit-cell thickness often show remarkably different properties compared to their bulk form or thin films of several nanometers thickness. Here, a straightforward electrochemical method utilizing the angstrom-confinement of laminar reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanochannels is introduced to obtain a centimeter-scale network of atomically thin (<4.3 Å) 2D-transition metal oxides (2D-TMO). The angstrom-confinement provides a thickness limitation, forcing sub-unit-cell growth of 2D-TMO with oxygen and metal vacancies. It is showcased that Cr2 O3 , a material without significant catalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in bulk form, can be activated as a high-performing catalyst if synthesized in the 2D sub-unit-cell form. This method displays the high activity of sub-unit-cell form while retaining the stability of bulk form, promising to yield unexplored fundamental science and applications. It is shown that while retaining the advantages of bottom-up electrochemical synthesis, like simplicity, high yield, and mild conditions, the thickness of TMO can be limited to sub-unit-cell dimensions.

Abstract
Developing cost-effective, efficient, and durable catalysts for oxygen evolution reactions (OER) is the key for promoting large-scale H2 production through electrochemical water splitting. Herein, we report a facile method for fabricating an NiFe@NiCr-LDH catalyst toward alkaline OER. The electronic microscopy technique revealed that it has a well-defined heterostructure at the interface between the NiFe and NiCr phases. In 1.0 M KOH, the as-prepared NiFe@NiCr-LDH catalyst shows excellent catalytic performance, evidenced by an overpotential of 266 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a small Tafel slope of 63 mV dec-1; both are comparable with the RuO2 benchmark catalyst. It also exhibits robust durability in long-term operation, manifested by a 10% current decay in 20 h, which is superior to that of the RuO2 catalyst. Such excellent performance is attributed to the interfacial electron transfer that occurs at the interfaces of the heterostructure, and the Fe(III) species facilitate the formation of Ni(III) species as active sites in NiFe@NiCr-LDH. This study offers a feasible strategy for preparing a transition metal-based LDH catalyst for OER toward H2 production and other electrochemical energy technologies.

Abstract
Precise design of low-cost, efficient and definite electrocatalysts is the key to sustainable renewable energy. Herein, this work develops a targeted-anchored and subsequent spontaneous-redox strategy to synthesize nickel-iron layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets anchored with monodispersed platinum (Pt) sites (Pt@LDH). Intermediate metal-organic frameworks (MOF)/LDH heterostructure not only provides numerous confine points to guarantee the stability of Pt sites, but also excites the spontaneous reduction for PtII . Electronic structure, charge transfer ability and reaction kinetics of Pt@LDH can be effectively facilitated by the monodispersed Pt moieties. As a result, the optimized Pt@LDH that with the 5% ultra-low content Pt exhibits the significant increment in electrochemical water splitting performance in alkaline media, which only afford low overpotentials of 58 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and 239 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), respectively. In a real device, Pt@LDH can drive an overall water-splitting at low cell voltage of 1.49 V at 10 mA cm-2 , which can be superior to most reported similar LDH-based catalysts. Moreover, the versatility of the method is extended to other MOF precursors and noble metals for the design of ultrathin LDH supported monodispersed noble metal electrocatalysts promoting research interest in material design.

Abstract
The design and construction of active centres are key to exploring advanced electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this work, we demonstrate thein situconstruction of point defects on CrOOH by Ni doping (Ni-CrOOH/NF). Compared with pure CrOOH/NF, Ni-CrOOH/NF showed enhanced OER activity. The effect of the amount of Ni introduced on the OER performance was investigated. Ni0.2-CrOOH/NF, the best introduction of Ni, uses a low overpotential of 253 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2with a high turnover frequency of 0.27 s-1in 1.0 M NaOH. In addition, the electrocatalytic performance of Ni0.2-CrOOH/NF showed little deterioration after 1000-cycle cyclic voltammetry scanning. In the potentiostatic test, activity was stable for at least 20 h.

Abstract
Amorphous and bifunctional electrocatalysts based on 3d transition metals tend to exhibit better performance than their crystalline counterparts and are a promising choice for efficient overall water splitting yet far from being well explored. A 3,6-net metal-organic framework (MOF) of [Ni3(bpt)2(DMF)2(H2O)2]·1.5DMF (Ni-MOF), based on linear [Ni3(COO)6] as a node and [1,1'-biphenyl]-3,4',5-tricarboxylic acid (H3bpt) as a linker, was conveniently prepared via a hydrothermal reaction. Benefitting from the wide compatibility of the octahedral coordination geometry in Ni-MOF for different 3d metal ions, the molecular level and controllable metal doping facilitates the production of the desired Ni/Fe bimetallic MOF. A high-concentration alkali solution of 1 M KOH induced the in situ transformation of the MOF as a precursor to new amorphous electrocatalysts of [Ni(OH)2(H2O)0.6]·H2O [a-Ni(OH)2] and its metal-doped derivatives of a-Ni0.77Fe0.23(OH)2 and a-Ni0.65Fe0.35(OH)2. In particular, the costly organic ligand H3bpt was fully dissolved in the alkaline solution and can be recovered for cyclic utilization by subsequent acidification. The obtained amorphous hydroxide was deduced to be loose and defective layers containing both coordinated and lattice water based on combined characterizations of TG, IR, Raman, XPS, and sorption analysis. As opposed to the crystalline counterpart of Ni(OH)2 with stacked packing layers and an absent lattice water, the abundant catalytic active sites of the amorphous electrocatalyst endow good performance in both oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The bifunctional a-Ni0.65Fe0.35(OH)2 coated on nickel foam realizes small overpotentials of 247 and 99 mV for OER and HER, respectively, under a current density of 10 mA cm-2, which can work with a cell voltage of merely 1.60 V for overall water splitting. This study provides an efficient strategy for widely screening and preparing new functional amorphous materials for electrocatalytic application.

Abstract
The design and preparation of efficient and low-cost catalysts for water electrolysis are crucial and highly desirable to produce eco-friendly and sustainable hydrogen fuel. Herein, we prepared nitrogen-doped carbon-incorporated CoP@Fe-CoP core-shelled nanorod arrays grown on Ni foam (CoP@Fe-CoP/NC/NF) through phosphorization of ZIF-67@Co-Fe Prussian blue analogue (ZIF-67@CoFe-PBA). The hierarchical nanorod arrays combined with the core-shelled structure offer favorable mass/electron transport capacity and maximize the active sites, thus enhancing the electrochemically active surface area. The synergistic effect of the bimetallic components and the nitrogen-doped carbon matrix endow the composite with an optimized electronic structure. Benefiting from the above superiorities of morphological and chemical compositions, this self-supported CoP@Fe-CoP/NC/NF heterostructure can drive alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction with overpotentials of 97 and 270 mV to yield 100 mA cm-2, respectively. The two-electrode alkaline electrolyzer constructed by this heterostructure shows a low cell voltage of 1.58 V to yield 10 mA cm-2, superior to the precious-metal-based electrocatalyst apparatus (IrO2∥Pt/C). This study offers a feasible and facile approach to develop efficient electrocatalysts for water electrolysis, which applies to other electrochemical energy conversion and storage applications.

Abstract
One important goal of the current electrocatalysis is to develop integrated electrodes from the atomic level design to multilevel structural engineering in simple ways and low prices. Here, a series of oxygen micro-alloyed high-entropy alloys (O-HEAs) is developed via a metallurgy approach. A (CrFeCoNi)97 O3 bulk O-HEA shows exceptional electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), reaching an overpotential as low as 196 mV and a Tafel slope of 29 mV dec-1 , and with stability longer than 120 h in 1 m KOH solution at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 . It is shown that the enhanced OER performance can be attributed to the formation of island-like Cr2 O3 microdomains, the leaching of Cr3+ ions, and structural amorphization at the interfaces of the domains. These findings offer a technological-orientated strategy to integrated electrodes.

Abstract
The remediation of heavy metal is facing the great challenge of failing to achieve valuable transformation. Therefore, the development of a sustainable technology for heavy metal recycling and reuse is essential. The present study proposed a new way to convert Cr(VI) into value-added biological Cr2O3 nanoparticles (bio-Cr2O3 NPs) with B. megaterium-secreted tryptophan residues proteins (TPN). In this process, Cr(VI) was reduced extracellularly to Cr(III) by B. megaterium without additional reductant and electron donors. This study overcomes the difficulty of separation of NPs and biomass, and realizes the recovery of bio-Cr2O3 NPS from biomass. The conversing efficiency of bio-Cr2O3 NPs reached the highest level (96.56%) at the concentration of 10 ppm Cr(VI). In particular, bio-Cr2O3 NPs exhibited excellent catalytic activity for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1 M KOH, outperforming chemically synthesized Cr-base catalysts. Three-dimensional matrix fluorescence (EEM), verification of tryptophan reduction and computation chemistry fully confirmed that TPN was responsible for the bio-Cr2O3 NPs formation. This comprehensive approach to bioremediation, synthesis NPs and recovery, as well as application will open a window for sustainable energy development and heavy metal pollution remediation.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a process in electrochemical water splitting with sluggish kinetics that needs efficient non-noble-metal electrocatalysts. There have been few studies of CrOOH electrocatalysts for water oxidation due to their low performance. Herein,in situsynthesized Fe-doped CrOOH nanosheets on Ni foam (Fe-CrOOH/NF) were designed as electrocatalysts and performance in the OER was obviously improved. The effect of the amount of Fe doping was also investigated. Experiments revealed that the best performance of Fe-CrOOH/NF requires low overpotentials of 259 mV to reach 20 mA cm-2together with a turnover frequency of 0.245 s-1in 1.0 M KOH, which may suggest a new direction for the development of Fe-doped OER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The development of high-performance, low-cost, and long-lasting electrocatalysts for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is urgently needed for effective electrochemical water splitting. In the present study, an engineering process was employed to prepare "Lewis base-hungry" amorphous-crystalline nickel borate-nickel sulfide (Ni3(BO3)2-Ni3S2) heterostructures, which exhibited unprecedentedly high electrocatalytic activity toward both OER and HER in alkaline media. The optimal Ni3(BO3)2-Ni3S2/nickel foam (Ni3(BO3)2-Ni3S2/NF) electrode displayed an ultralow overpotential of only -92 and +217 mV to reach the current density of 10 mA cm-2 for HER and OER, respectively. When the Ni3(BO3)2-Ni3S2/NF electrode was used as both the anode and cathode for overall water splitting, a low cell voltage of 1.49 V was needed to achieve the current density of 10 mA cm-2, which was superior to the performance of most noble metal-free electrocatalysts. Results from density functional theory calculations showed that the Lewis base-hungry sites in the heterostructures effectively enhanced the chemisorption of hydrogen and oxygen intermediates, a critical step in HER and OER electrocatalysis. Results from this study highlight the significance of rational design and engineering of heterostructured materials for the development of high-efficiency electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Portable water splitting devices driven by rechargeable metal-air batteries or solar cells are promising, however, their scalable usages are still hindered by lack of suitable multifunctional electrocatalysts. Here, a highly efficient multifunctional electrocatalyst is demonstrated, i.e., 2D nanosheet array of Mo-doped NiCo2 O4 /Co5.47 N heterostructure deposited on nickel foam (Mo-NiCo2 O4 /Co5.47 N/NF). The successful doping of non-3d high-valence metal into a heterostructured nanosheet array, which is directly grown on a conductive substrate endows the resultant catalyst with balanced electronic structure, highly exposed active sites, and binder-free electrode architecture. As a result, the Mo-NiCo2 O4 /Co5.47 N/NF exhibits remarkable catalytic activity toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), affording high current densities of 50 mA cm-2 at low overpotentials of 310 mV for OER, and 170 mV for HER, respectively. Moreover, a low voltage of 1.56 V is achieved for the Mo-NiCo2 O4 /Co5.47 N/NF-based water splitting cell to reach 10 mA cm-2 . More importantly, a portable overall water splitting device is demonstrated through the integration of a water-splitting cell and two Zn-air batteries (open-circuit voltage of 1.43 V), which are all fabricated based on Mo-NiCo2 O4 /Co5.47 N/NF, demonstrating a low-cost way to generate fuel energy. This work offers an effective strategy to develop high-performance metal-doped heterostructured electrode.

Abstract
Atom-scale modulation of electronic regulation in nonprecious-based electrocatalysts is promising for efficient catalytic activities. Here, hierarchically hollow VOOH nanostructures are rationally constructed by partial iron substitution and systematically investigated for electrocatalytic water splitting. Benefiting from the hierarchically stable scaffold configuration, highly electrochemically active surface area, the synergistic effect of the active metal atoms, and optimal adsorption energies, the 3% Fe (mole ratio) substituted electrocatalyst (VOOH-3Fe) exhibits a low overpotential of 90 and 195 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media, respectively, superior than the other samples with a different substituted ratio. To the best of current knowledge, 195 mV overpotential at 10 mA cm-2 is the best value reported for V or Fe (oxy)hydroxide-based OER catalysts. Moreover, the electrolytic cell employing the VOOH-3Fe electrode as both the cathode and anode exhibits a cell voltage of 0.30 V at 10 mA cm-2 with a remarkable stability over 60 h. This work heralds a new pathway to design efficient bifunctional catalysts toward overall water splitting.
