Abstract
Carbon neutrality is an important goal for humanity . As an eco-friendly technology, electrocatalytic clean energy conversion technology has emerged in the 21st century. Currently, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based electrocatalysis, including oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR), nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), are the mainstream energy catalytic reactions, which are driven by electrocatalysis. In this paper, the current advanced characterizations for the analyses of MOF-based electrocatalytic energy reactions have been described in details, such as density function theory (DFT), machine learning, operando/in situ characterization, which provide in-depth analyses of the reaction mechanisms related to the above reactions reported in the past years. The practical applications that have been developed for some of the responses that are of application values, such as fuel cells, metal-air batteries, and water splitting have also been demonstrated. This paper aims to maximize the potential of MOF-based electrocatalysts in the field of energy catalysis, and to shed light on the development of current intense energy situations.

Abstract
The development of low-cost and efficient cathode catalysts is crucial for the advancement of fuel cells, as the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the cathode is constrained by expensive commercial Pt/C catalysts and a significant energy barrier. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered excellent precursors for synthesizing carbon nanomaterials due to their simple synthesis, rich structure and composition. MOF-derived carbon nanomaterials (MDCNM) inherit the morphology of their precursors at low dimensional scales, providing abundant edge defects, larger specific surface area, and excellent electron transport paths. Furthermore, the rich composition of MOFs enables the carbon nanomaterials derived from them to exhibit various physicochemical properties, including stronger electron gaining ability, oxygen affinity, and a higher degree of graphitization, resulting in excellent ORR activity. However, a more detailed analysis is necessary to understand the advantages and mechanisms of MDCNM in the field of the ORR. This review classifies and summarizes the structure and different chemical compositions of MDCNM in low dimensions, and provides an in-depth analysis of the reasons for their improved ORR activity. Additionally, the recent practical applications of MDCNM as cathode material in fuel cells are introduced and analyzed in detail, with a focus on the enhanced electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Fe-based MOFs (Fe-MOFs) are deemed promising Fenton-like catalysts due to their well-developed pores and accessible active sites. However, their inferior catalytic activity, iron leaching, and low H2O2 utilization always hinder their application as Fe-based MOF catalysts. In this work, we manipulated the structure of Fe-oxo nodes in MIL-88B(Fe) via a CuI species substitution method, affording a mixed-valence (Cu-incorporated Fe-MOFs) with highly improved Fenton-like performance. It is found that the CuI serves as a shuttle to promote transfer between FeII/FeIII, inducing the formation of a larger amount of stable FeII sites, which was proven by experimental and DFT calculation results. A linear relationship was observed for the Fenton-like performance and the amount of CuI species for the catalysts. The corresponding value of the •OH formation is 2.17 eV for Cu-incorporated MIL-88B(Fe), which is significantly lower than that of MIL-88B(Fe) (2.69 eV). Meanwhile, the enriched CuI species suppress Fe species leaching during the catalytic reaction. The Fe-ion leakage of 0.4Cu@MIL-88B is very tiny (0.01-0.03 mg/L), significantly less than that of MIL-88B (2.00-3.02 mg/L). At the same time, H2O2 utilization for 0.4Cu@ MIL-88B(Fe) is 88%, which is almost 4.4 times that of pure MIL-88B(Fe). This work provides insights into the rational design of Fe-MOFs as promising Fenton-like catalysts for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Rational engineering active sites and vantage defects of catalysts are promising but grand challenging task to enhance photoreduction CO2 to high value-added C2 products. In this study, we designed an N,S-codoped Fe-based MIL-88B catalyst with well-defined bipyramidal hexagonal prism morphology via a facile and effective process, which was synthesized by addition of appropriate 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (BIT) and acetic acid to the reaction solution. Under simulated solar irradiation, the designed catalyst exhibits high C2 H4 evolution yield of 17.7 μmol g-1 ⋅h, which has been rarely achieved in photocatalytic CO2 reduction process. The synergistic effect of Fe-N coordinated sites and reasonable defects in the N,S-codoped photocatalyst can accelerate the migration of photogenerated carriers, resulting in high electron density, and this in turn helps to facilitate the formation and dimerization of C-C coupling intermediates for C2 H4 effectively.

Exploring degradation properties and mechanisms of emerging contaminants via enhanced directional electron transfer by polarized electric fields regulation in Fe-N 4-C x. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 446:130698.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysis offers an opportunity to overcome the low efficiency and secondary pollution limitations of emerging contaminants (ECs) purification technologies, but it is still challenging to regulate electron directed transport for achieving high catalysis efficiency and selectivity due to insufficient understanding of the electron transfer pathways and behavioral mechanisms during its catalysis. Here, by tuning the defects of the C-N coordination of the support, the polarized electric field (PEF) characteristics are changed, which in turn affects the electron transport behavior. The results show that the charge offset on Fe-N4-Cx forms a PEF, which will induce directional electron transport. After the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) fitting analysis, the greater the degree of C-N defects, the higher the intensity of the PEF, which in turn enhances the electron transport and promotes the catalytic behavior. In addition, the surface pyrrole N site can adsorb enrofloxacin (ENR) and enrich it on the surface. This can reduce the transport distance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to synergize catalysis and adsorption, resulting in rapid degradation of ECs. Combined with liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer (LC-MS) results and theoretical calculations, five degradation pathways of ENR were speculated, mainly including the oxidation of piperazine and the cleavage of the quinolone ring. This work proposes a novel PEF regulation strategy and explores its mechanism for safe treatment of ECs.

Abstract
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a sustainable alternative for wastewater treatment and clean energy generation. The efficiency of the technology is dependent on the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction, where the sluggish reaction kinetics hampers its propensity. Carbonaceous materials with high electrical conductivity have been widely explored for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts. Here, incorporating transition metal (TM) and heteroatom into carbon could further enhance the ORR activity and power generation in MFCs. Nitrogen (N)-doped carbons have also been a popular research hotspot due to abundant active sites formed, resulting in superior conductivity, stability, and catalytic activity over carbons. This review summarizes the progress in the carbon-based materials (primary focus on the cathode) for ORR and their utilization in MFCs. Furthermore, we discussed the conceptualization of MFCs and carbonaceous materials to instigate the ORR kinetics and power generation in MFC. Furthermore, prospects of carbon-based materials for actual application in bio-energy generation have been discussed. Carbonaceous catalysts and biomass-derived carbons exhibit good potential to replace precious Pt catalysts for ORR. M-N-C catalysts were found to be the most suitable catalysts. Electrocatalysts with MNx sites are able to achieve excellent activity and high-power output by taking advantage of the active site exposure and rapid mass transfer rate. Moreover, the use of biomass-derived carbons/self-doped carbons could further reduce the overall cost of catalysts. It is anticipated that the research gaps and future perspectives discussed will show new avenues to develop excellent electrocatalysts for better performance and transformation of technology to industrial applications.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts within M-N-C structures are efficient for electrochemical CO2 reduction. However, most of them are powdered and require a coating process to load on the electrode. Herein, we developed a facile approach to the synthesis of large-scale self-supported porous carbon nanofiber electrodes directly decorated with atomically dispersed nickel active sites using facile electrospinning, where poly(methyl methacrylate) was employed to tune well the distributions of pores located in carbon nanofibers. The above self-supported carbon nanofibers were applied as a gas diffusion electrode to achieve 94.3% CO Faraday efficiency and 170 mA cm-2 current density, which can be attributed to the effects of rich mesoporous structures favorable for adsorption and mass transfer of CO2 and single nickel catalysts effectively converting CO2 to CO. This work provides an efficient strategy to fabricate self-supported electrodes and may accelerate the progress toward industrial applications of single-atom catalysts in the field of CO2 electroreduction.

Abstract
Improving transition metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) as a noble-metal-free catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is critical to achieve low-cost electrochemical energy conversion. Herein, an in situ S doping strategy of enhancing Fe-N-C activity for ORR was developed by newly designed Fe(II) ion coordinated S-containing bis(imino)-pyridine-based polymers as precursors, which were synthesized through copolymerizing three monomers of 2, 6-diacetylpyridine (DAP), triamterene (TIT), and 2,5-dithiobiurea (DTB) as both N and S sources. All samples derived from various molar ratios of the three monomers possess a self-supporting structure of nanosheets. Additionally, incorporating DTB into the copolymer can not only strongly affect the derived coordinative species of N dopants to Fe atom but also effectively induce the synergistic effect between S dopants and FeNx moieties, resulting a significant improvement for ORR. The S-doped Fe-N-C nansheets with Fe coordinated by 4 pyrrolic N dopants exhibit the highest ORR activity and stability in alkaline media with a higher power output of Zn-air battery than that of the same loading of Pt/C. Theoretical calculation identifies that the thiophenic S dopant adjacent to Fe-pyrrolic N moiety can decrease the d band center of Fe atom, greatly weakening the energy profiles of oxygenated intermediates and thus enhancing ORR. In addition, because of the designability of transition metal coordinated S-containing bis(imino)-pyridine based polymers in the work, therefore, it is believable that this strategy would open a wide space to explore the structural relationship between precursors and MNx active sites with S dopants for the purpose of achieving highly efficient and robust M-N-C catalysts for energy-related electrocatalysis.

Abstract
It is necessary to develop cost-effective platinum group materials (PGM)-free cathode catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) to replace the state-of-the-art noble metal for the commercialization of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Fe-N-C catalysts are one of the promising candidates for commercial Pt/C. Herein, a new cost-effective and highly stable Fe-N-C catalyst was designed and successfully prepared via a facile process. The catalyst was prepared through one single thermal conversion from Fe-doped ZIF-8 (zeolitic imidazolate framework), a metal-organic framework (MOF) containing well-defined FeN4 coordination. The mesopores in the unique structure of MOF promoted efficient mass transfer, while those arising from the pyrolysis of the MOF produced more active sites. Unlike previous preparation methods, post-treatments were avoided here. As a result, the Fe-N-C cathode had a high ORR activity with a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.85 V in a 0.1 M KOH aqueous solution. The classic MFC with this cathodic catalyst provided a maximum power density of up to 1508 mW m-2.

Fe-N-C catalyst with Fe-N X sites anchored nano carboncubes derived from Fe-Zn-MOFs activate peroxymonosulfate for high-effective degradation of ciprofloxacin: Thermal activation and catalytic mechanism. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 424:127380. [PMID: 34879571 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.127380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2021] [Revised: 09/06/2021] [Accepted: 09/26/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Developing high-efficient catalysts is crucial for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Fe-N-C catalysts exhibit excellent performance for PMS activation because of the contribution of doped N, Fe-Nx and Fe3C sites. In our work, a series of Fe-N-C catalysts with high-performance was obtained by pyrolyzing Fe-Zn-MOFs precursors. During pyrolysis process, the change of chemical bonds and formation of active sites in the precursor were elucidated by characterization analysis and related catalytic experiments. Graphitic N, Fe-Nx and Fe3C were confirmed to activate PMS synergistically for ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation. Besides, the catalytic performance was proportional to the amount of doped iron and calcination temperature. Moreover, the Fe-N-C-3-800/PMS system not only displayed good recycling performance, but also had high anti-interference ability. Integrated with quenching and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments, a non-radical pathway dominated by 1O2 was proposed. Furthermore, PMS could bond to Fe-N-C-3-800 to form intermediate for charge transfer, thus accelerate electron transfer between CIP and PMS to realize degradation of CIP. Six main pathways of CIP degradation were proposed, which include bond fission of N-C on piperazine ring and direct oxidation of CIP. This study provided a new idea for the design of heterogeneous carbon catalysts in advanced oxidation field.

FeCo alloy encased in nitrogen-doped carbon for efficient formaldehyde removal: Preparation, electronic structure, and d-band center tailoring. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 424:127593.

Abstract
Formaldehyde is a typical indoor air pollutant that has posed severely adverse effects on human health. Herein, a novel FeCo alloy nanoparticle-embedded nitrogen-doped carbon (FeCo@NC) was synthesized with the aim of tailoring the transition-metal d-band structure toward an improved formaldehyde oxidation activity for the first time. A unique core@shell metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) architecture with a Fe-based Prussian blue analogue core and Co-containing zeolite imidazole framework shell was firstly fabricated. Then, Fe and Co ion alloying was readily achieved owing to the inherent MOF porosity and interionic nonequilibrium diffusion occurring during pyrolysis. High-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption fine structure spectra confirm that small FeCo alloys in situ form in FeCo@NC, which exhibits a higher formaldehyde removal efficiency (93%) than the monometallic Fe-based catalyst and a remarkable CO2 selectivity (85%) at room temperature. Density functional theory calculations indicate the number of electrons transferred from the metal core to the outer carbon layer is altered by alloying Fe and Co. More importantly, a downshift in the d-band center relative to the Fermi level occurs from - 0.93 to - 1.04 eV after introducing Co, which could alleviate the adsorption of reaction intermediates and greatly improve the catalytic performance.

Abstract
Developing alternatives to noble-metal-based catalysts toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) process plays a key role in the application of low-temperature fuel cells. Carbon-based, precious-metal-free electrocatalysts are of great interest due to their low cost, abundant sources, active catalytic performance, and long-term stability. They are also supposed to feature intrinsically high activity and highly dense catalytic sites along with their sufficient exposure, high conductivity, and high chemical stability, as well as effective mass transfer pathways. In this Review, we focus on carbon-based, precious-metal-free nanocatalysts with synergistic modulation of active-site species and their exposure, mass transfer, and charge transport during the electrochemical process. With this knowledge, perspectives on synergistic modulation strategies are proposed to push forward the development of Pt-free ORR catalysts and the wide application of fuel cells.

Abstract
This mini-review highlights some recent progress in the engineering of single-atom catalysts (SACs) through metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and derivatives. The inherent molecular and chemical specificities within the MOFs and derivatives can offer stabilisation of the SACs with high atomic isolation and dispersion. As MOFs are often considered an infinite array of self-assembled molecular catalysts, specifically designed structures can provide further functionalities to suit the needs of different catalytic applications. In brief, we can divide the preparation approaches into three main categories: (1) fabrication onto functional groups of the ligands, (2) fabrication onto Lewis acid sites of nodal centres, and (3) synthesis via a pyrolysis-mediated technique. Through these approaches, strong metal-support interactions can be established to aid the fine-tuning of the catalytic properties. We also discuss how recent progress in the development of state-of-the-art microscopic, spectroscopic, and crystallographic techniques has enabled scientists to elucidate the structure-activity relationship.

Abstract
Iron complexes are particularly interesting as catalyst systems over the other transition metals (including noble metals) due to iron’s high natural abundance and mediation in important biological processes, therefore making them non-toxic, cost-effective, and biocompatible. Both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis mediated by iron as a transition metal have found applications in many industries, including oxidation, C-C bond formation, hydrocarboxylation and dehydration, hydrogenation and reduction reactions of low molecular weight molecules. These processes provided substrates for industrial-scale use, e.g., switchable materials, sustainable and scalable energy storage technologies, drugs for the treatment of cancer, and high molecular weight polymer materials with a predetermined structure through controlled radical polymerization techniques. This review provides a detailed statement of the utilization of homogeneous and heterogeneous iron-based catalysts for the synthesis of both low and high molecular weight molecules with versatile use, focusing on receiving functional materials with high potential for industrial application.

Abstract
Iron, N-codoped carbon materials (Fe-N-C) are promising electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reactions due to their high atom utilization efficiency and intrinsic activity. Nanostructuring of the Fe-N-C materials, such as introducing porosity into the carbon structure, would be conducive to further increasing the exposure of active sites as well as improving the mass transfer. Herein, we explore the potential of iron complex-functionalized micelles of mesoporous SiO2 as a platform for constructing porous Fe-N-C materials. The classical three-dimensional MCM-48 was selected as a proof-of-concept example, which was utilized as the hard template, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide micelles inside it played the role of the main carbon source. Fe-Nx sites were derived from Fe-1,10-phenanthroline complexes in the micelles introduced by in situ incorporation of 1,10-phenanthroline and post Fe2+ insertion in an aqueous solution. After thermal annealing in a nitrogen atmosphere and subsequent removal of the MCM-48 framework, a carbon material that possesses porous structural features with uniformly dispersed Fe-Nx sites (MPC@PhFe) was obtained, which shows superior ORR activity in a 0.1 M KOH solution and great potential for Zn-air battery applications as well. This work demonstrates the feasibility as well as the effectiveness of turning micelles of mesoporous SiO2 into porous carbon structures and might offer a universal strategy for manufacturing carbon materials for future application in energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease with unclear pathogenesis, for which diagnosis has been a great challenge. Recent researches have revealed that miR-3675-3p is a promising biomarker for IPF diagnosis. Herein, the present work describes a novel electrochemical microRNA biosensor for rapid and sensitive detection of miR-3675-3p based on multiple signal amplification strategies. First of all, fullerene (C60) is doped with poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM)-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) to form a new nanohybrid of C60@PAMAM-MOF, which exhibits more remarkable redox activity compared with the other two synthesized C60-based nanohybrids when triggered by tetraoctylammonium bromide (TOAB). C60@PAMAM-MOF also possesses a large specific surface area and abundant amino groups to anchor Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the immobilization of signal probe (SP) to form tracer label and enhance the electrochemical response signal. In addition, core@shell Au-Pt nanoparticles (Au@PtNPs) are absorbed on chitosan-acetylene black (CS-AB) to act as sensing platform, which can promote electron transfer and increase the loading of capture probe (CP). Under optimum conditions, the proposed biosensor displays a wide linear range for miR-3675-3p from 10 fM to 10 nM, with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 2.99 fM. More significantly, this biosensor shows a lower LOD and wider linear range than that of qRT-PCR, and its trial application in human serum shows favorable results, which exhibits a promising prospect for IPF diagnosis.

Abstract
Hydrogen is widely regarded as a prime energy carrier for bridging the gap between renewable energy supply and demand. As the energy-generating component of the hydrogen cycle, affordable and reliable fuel cells are of key importance to the growth of the hydrogen economy. However, the use of scarce and costly Pt as an electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains an issue to be addressed, and in this regard, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are viewed as promising non-noble alternatives because of their self-assembly capability and tunable properties. Herein, recent (2018-2020) works on MOF-based electrocatalysts containing N-doped C, Mn, Fe, Co, multiple metals, and multiple sites are reviewed and summarized with a focus on ORR activity, and the principal physicochemical properties and electrochemical performance of these catalysts realized using rotating electrodes are compared.

Abstract
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an extremely important reaction in many renewable energy-related devices. The sluggish kinetics of the ORR limits the development of many fuel cells. Design and synthesis of highly efficient nonprecious electrocatalysts are of vital importance for electrochemical reduction of oxygen. Herein, we develop a graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)-derived bamboo-like carbon nanotubes/carbon-wrapped Co nanoparticles (BCNT/Co) electrocatalyst by a simple high-temperature pyrolysis and acid-leaching method. The catalytic performance of the as-designed electrocatalyst toward ORR outperforms the commercial Pt/C catalyst in alkaline solution. The onset potential of nonprecious BCNT/Co-800 catalyst was 1.12 V. The half-wave potential was 0.881 V. The result was superior to that of commercial Pt/C (0.827 V vs RHE). The Co nanoparticles, bamboo-like carbon nanotubes, defects, and Co-Nx active sites all result in the remarkable ORR activity, stability, and great methanol tolerance.
