[PMID: 38586610 PMCID: PMC10995061 DOI: 10.1007/s41918-023-00209-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
Developing electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices (e.g., water splitting, regenerative fuel cells and rechargeable metal-air batteries) driven by intermittent renewable energy sources holds a great potential to facilitate global energy transition and alleviate the associated environmental issues. However, the involved kinetically sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) severely limits the entire reaction efficiency, thus designing high-performance materials toward efficient OER is of prime significance to remove this obstacle. Among various materials, cost-effective perovskite oxides have drawn particular attention due to their desirable catalytic activity, excellent stability and large reserves. To date, substantial efforts have been dedicated with varying degrees of success to promoting OER on perovskite oxides, which have generated multiple reviews from various perspectives, e.g., electronic structure modulation and heteroatom doping and various applications. Nonetheless, the reviews that comprehensively and systematically focus on the latest intellectual design strategies of perovskite oxides toward efficient OER are quite limited. To bridge the gap, this review thus emphatically concentrates on this very topic with broader coverages, more comparative discussions and deeper insights into the synthetic modulation, doping, surface engineering, structure mutation and hybrids. More specifically, this review elucidates, in details, the underlying causality between the being-tuned physiochemical properties [e.g., electronic structure, metal-oxygen (M-O) bonding configuration, adsorption capacity of oxygenated species and electrical conductivity] of the intellectually designed perovskite oxides and the resulting OER performances, coupled with perspectives and potential challenges on future research. It is our sincere hope for this review to provide the scientific community with more insights for developing advanced perovskite oxides with high OER catalytic efficiency and further stimulate more exciting applications.

Abstract
To produce directly combustible hydrogen from water, highly active, acid-resistant, and economical catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are needed. An electrocatalyst based on praseodymium ruthenate (Pr2Ru2O7) is presented here that greatly outperforms RuO2 for acid-water oxidation. Specifically, at 10 mA cm-2, this electrocatalyst presents a low overpotential (η) of 213 mV and markedly superior stability. Moreover, Pr2Ru2O7 presents a significant rise in turnover frequency (TOF) and a highly intrinsic mass activity of 1618.8 A gRu-1 (η = 300 mV), exceeding the most commonly reported acid OER catalysts. Density functional theory calculations and electronic structure study demonstrate that the Ru 4d-band center related to the longer Ru-O bond with a large radius of Pr ion in this pyrochlore is lower than that in RuO2, which would optimize the binding between the adsorbed oxygen species and catalytic metal sites and enhance the catalytic intrinsic activity.

Abstract
The dimensionality of the crystal structure plays a vital role in artificial heterostructures composed of different transition metal oxides. Nonlinear layer-thickness dependence of the exchange bias effect was observed in high-quality SrCuO2/La0.7Sr0.3MnO (LSMO) superlattices induced in the present work by dimensional evolution. In the SCO(n)/LSMO(8) superlattices with thickness below the critical value (5 u.c.), the exchange bias effect decreased and the saturated magnetization increased with increase in SCO thickness. By contrast, the exchange bias effect increased and the saturated magnetization decreased in S(n)L(8) superlattices with thickness above the critical value. This is because the lattice SCO material underwent a breathing-like structural transformation from the planar to a chain-like structure. The results indicate the interfacial superexchange coupling mainly present in the chain-like S(n)L(8) superlattices through X-ray absorption spectroscopy and first principles calculations. This superexchange coupling generated a weak localized magnetic moment to pin the adjacent ferromagnetic layer. However, in the thicker S(n)L(8) superlattices, evolution of magnetic properties was induced by the long-range antiferromagnetic order in the planar SCO layer. Our findings demonstrate that the dimensionality driven structural variation is an effective method to manipulate the electronic reconstruction and the associated physical properties, paving a pathway for the advancement of strongly correlated materials.

Abstract
Dimensionality is a fundamental parameter to modulate the properties of solid materials by tuning electronic structures. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a prominent class of porous crystalline materials, but the study of dimensional dependence on their physicochemical properties is still lacking. Herein we illustrate photocatalytic performances of N,N-diaryl dihydrophenazine (PN)-based COFs are heavily dependent on the structural dimensionality. Six isostructural imine-bonded 2D-PN COFs and one 3D-PN COF were prepared. All can be heterogeneous photocatalysts to promote radical ring-opening polymerization of vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs), which typically produces polymers with a combination of linear (l) and cyclic (c) repeat units. The 2D-PN COFs have much higher catalytic activity than the 3D-PN COF, allowing the efficient synthesis of poly(VCPs) with controlled molecular weight, low dispersity and high l/c selectivity (up to 97 %). The improved performance can be ascribed to the 2D structure which has a larger internal surface area, more catalytically active sites, higher photosensitizing ability and photoinduced electron transfer efficiency.

Abstract
The presence of surface/deep defects in 4d- and 5d-perovskite oxide (ABO3, B = Nb, Ta, Mo, etc.) nanoparticles (NPs), originating from multivalent B-site cations, contributes to suppressing their metallic properties. These defect states can be removed using a H2/Ar thermal treatment, enabling the recovery of their electronic properties (i.e., low electrical resistivity, high carrier concentration, etc.) as expected from their electronic structure. Therefore, to engineer the electronic properties of these metastable perovskites, an oxygen-controlled crystallization approach coupled with a subsequent H2/Ar treatment was utilized. A comprehensive study of the effect of the post-treatment time on the electronic properties of these perovskite NPs was performed using a combination of scattering, spectroscopic, and computational techniques. These measurements revealed that a metallic-like state is stabilized in these oxygen-reduced NPs due to the suppression of deep rather than surface defects. Ultimately, this synthetic approach can be employed to synthesize ABO3 perovskite NPs with tunable electronic properties for application into electrochemical devices.

Abstract
The demand for sustainable energy sources urges the development of efficient and earth-abundant electrocatalysts. Herein, chlorine assisted ion-exchange and in-situ sulfurization processes were combined to construct CuCo2S4@(Cu,Co)2Cl(OH)3 heterostructures from Cu(OH)2 nanoarrays. Chlorine element in the cobalt source stimulated the formation of (Cu,Co)2Cl(OH)3 precursor, and further facilitated partial transformation of the precursor to CuCo2S4 on the surface to achieve composite structure. The mixed valences of Co element (Co3+ in CuCo2S4 and Co2+ in (Cu,Co)2Cl(OH)3) and OS interpenetrated nanointerface in the composite catalysts provided low electron transfer resistance for good alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities. In 1 mol L-1 KOH electrolyte, the overpotentials of the optimal composite catalyst reached 253 and 290 mV respectively at the current density of 20 and 50 mA cm-2, which is comparable to the activity of commercial Ir/C (281 mV@20 mA cm-2). These findings could provide opportunities for designing effective and inexpensive composite electrocatalysts through nanointerface engineering strategy.
