Abstract
Anisotropic nanostructures with tunable optical properties induced by controllable size and symmetry have attracted much attention in many applications. Herein, we report a controlled synthesis of symmetrically branched AuCu alloyed nanocrystals. By varying Au:Cu atom ratio in precursor, Y-shaped tripods with three-fold symmetry and star-shaped pentapods with five-fold symmetry are synthesized, respectively. The growth mechanism of AuCu tripods from icosahedral seeds and AuCu pentapods from decahedral seeds is revealed. Aiming to excellent photocatalytic performance, CdS nanocrystals are controlled grown onto the sharp tips of AuCu tripods and pentapods. In addition, a carrier-selective blocking layer of Ag2S is introduced between AuCu and CdS, for achieving effective charge separation in AuCu-Ag2S-CdS nanohybrids. Through evaluating the photocatalytic performance by hydrogen generation experiments, the AuCu-Ag2S-CdS tripod nanocrystals exhibit an optimized hydrogen evolution rate of 2182 μmol·g-1·h-1. These findings will contribute greatly to the understanding of complex nanoparticle growth mechanism and provide a strategy for the design of anisotropic nanoalloys for widely photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
ConspectusHydrogen spillover, as a well-known phenomenon for thermal hydrogenation, generally involves the migration of active hydrogen on the surface of metal-supported catalysts. For thermocatalytic hydrogenation, hydrogen spillover generally takes place from metals with superiority for dissociating hydrogen molecules to supports with strong hydrogen adsorption under a H2 environment with high pressures. The former can bring high hydrogen chemical potential to largely reduce the kinetic barrier of the migration of active hydrogen species from metals to supports. At the same time, the latter can make H* migration thermodynamically spontaneous. For these reasons, hydrogen spillover is a common interfacial phenomenon occurring on metal-supported catalysts during thermocatalysis. Recently, this phenomenon has been observed for the exceptionally enhanced electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution and other electrocatalytic organic synthesis. Different from hydrogen spillover for thermocatalysis under high H2 pressure, hydrogen spillover for electrocatalysis involves the migration of active hydrogen species (H*) from metals with strong hydrogen adsorption to supports with weak hydrogen adsorption, thereby suffering from a thermodynamically unfavorable process accompanied by a high kinetic barrier. Thus, the occurrence of hydrogen spillover at the electrocatalytic interface is not easy, and successful cases are rare. Understanding the underlying nature of hydrogen spillover at the electrocatalytic interface of metal-supported catalysts is critical to the rational design of advanced electrocatalysts.In this Account, we provide in-depth insights into recent advances in hydrogen spillover at the electrocatalytic interface for a significantly enhanced hydrogen evolution performance. Electron accumulation at the metal-support interface induces severe interfacial H* trapping and is recognized as the main factor in the failed hydrogen spillover. Given this, we developed two novel strategies to promote the occurrence of hydrogen spillover at the electrocatalytic interface. These strategies include (i) the introduction of ligand environments to enrich the local hydrogen coverage on metals and lower the barrier for interfacial hydrogen spillover and (ii) the minimization of work function difference between metals and supports (ΔΦ) to relieve electron accumulation and lower the kinetic barrier for hydrogen spillover. Also, we summarize the previously reported strategy of shortening the metal-support interface distance to lower the kinetic barrier for interfacial hydrogen spillover. Afterward, some criteria and methodologies are proposed to identify the hydrogen spillover phenomenon at the electrocatalytic interface. Finally, the remaining challenges and future perspectives are also discussed. Based on this Account, we aim to provide new insights into electrocatalysis, particularly the targeted control of hydrogen spillover at the electrocatalytic interface, and then to offer guidelines for the rational design of advanced electrocatalysts.

Abstract
This study addresses the critical challenge in alkaline direct formate fuel cells (DFFCs) of slow formate oxidation reaction (FOR) kinetics as a result of strong hydrogen intermediate (Had) adsorption on Pd catalysts. We developed WO3-supported Pd nanoparticles (EG-Pd/WO3) via an organic reduction method using ethylene glycol (EG), aiming to modulate the d-band center of Pd and alter Had adsorption dynamics. Cyclic voltammetry demonstrated significantly improved Had desorption kinetics in EG-Pd/WO3 catalysts. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the presence of EG reduces the d-band center of Pd, leading to weaker Pd-H bonds and enhanced Had desorption during the FOR. This research provides a new approach to optimize catalyst efficiency in DFFCs, highlighting the potential for more effective and sustainable energy solutions through advanced material engineering.

Abstract
The development of effective and stable cathode electrocatalysts is highly desired for fuel cells. Controlling the composition and morphology of Pd-based materials can provide a great opportunity to improve their oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance. Here, we report the synthesis of hexagonal close-packed (hcp) Pd2B nanosheet assemblies (Pd2B NAs) via the boronation reaction between as-synthesized Pd NAs and N,N-dimethylformamide. The hcp Pd2B NAs with uniform pore distribution can provide sufficient active sites for ORRs. The insertion of B atoms can induce the phase transition from face-centered cubic structure to hcp structure, as the most thermodynamically stable phase in the Pd-B alloy, which is beneficial for enhancing the ORR stability and toxicity resistance. Therefore, the hcp Pd2B NAs exhibit superior mass activity, specific activity and excellent stability for ORR. The present strategy of boron-intercalation-triggered crystalline transition of Pd-based nanomaterials is valuable for the design of metal-nonmetal catalysts with enhanced performance.

Abstract
Utilizing zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) poses a significant challenge that demands a facile synthesis method to produce uniform and nanometer-scale materials with high surface areas while achieving high yields. Herein, we demonstrate a facile and cost-effective strategy to systematically produce ZIF8 nanocrystals. Typically, ZIF8 nanocrystal synthesis involves a wet chemical route. As the reaction time decreased (150, 120, and 90 min), the size of the ZIF8 crystals decreased with uniform morphology, and productivity reached as high as 89%. The composition of the product was confirmed through XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, EDS, and Raman spectroscopy. The ZIF8 synthesized with different reaction time was finally employed for catalyzing the electrochemical hydrogen evaluation reaction (HER). The optimized ZIF8-3 obtained at 90 min of reaction time exhibited a superior catalytic action on the HER in alkaline medium, along with a remarkably long-term stability for 24 h compared with the other ZIF8 nanocrystals obtained at different reaction times. Specifically, the optimized ZIF8-3 sample revealed an HER overpotential of 172 mV and a Tafel slope of 104.15 mV·dec-1. This finding, thus, demonstrates ZIF8 as a promising electrocatalyst for the production of high-value-added green and sustainable hydrogen energy.

Abstract
We precisely synthesized two-dimensional (2D) PtPdCu nanostructures with the morphology varying from porous circular nanodisks (CNDs) and triangular nanoplates (TNPs) to triangular nanoboomerangs (TNBs) by tuning the molar ratios of metal precursors. The PtPdCu trimetallic nanoalloys exhibit superior electrocatalytic performances to alcohol oxidation reactions due to their unique structural features and the synergistic effect. Impressively, PtPdCu TNBs exhibit a high mass activity of 3.42 mgPt+Pd-1 and 1.06 A·mgPt-1 for ethanol and methanol oxidation compared to PtPd, PtCu, and pure Pt, which is 3.93 and 4.07 times that of commercial Pt/C catalysts, respectively. Moreover, 2D PtPdCu TNPs and PtPdCu CNDs also show a highly improved electrocatalytic activity. Furthermore, as all-in-one electrocatalysts, PtPdCu nanoalloys display excellent electrocatalytic activity and stability toward the oxidation of other alcohol molecules, such as isopropyl alcohol, glycerol, and ethylene glycol. The enhanced mechanism was well proposed to be the abundant active sites and upshifted d-band center based on density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
Noble-metal nanoparticles (NMNPs), with their outstanding properties, have been arousing the interest of scientists for centuries. Although our knowledge of them is much more significant today, and we can obtain NMNPs in various sizes, shapes, and compositions, our interest in them has not waned. When talking about noble metals, gold, silver, and platinum come to mind first. Still, we cannot forget about elements belonging to the so-called platinum group, such as ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, and iridium, whose physical and chemical properties are very similar to those of platinum. It makes them highly demanded and widely used in various applications. This review presents current knowledge on the preparation of all noble metals in the form of nanoparticles and their assembling with carbon supports. We focused on the catalytic applications of these materials in the fuel-cell field. Furthermore, the influence of supporting materials on the electrocatalytic activity, stability, and selectivity of noble-metal-based catalysts is discussed.

Abstract
Coupling acid-electrolyte proton exchange membrane fuel cells for electricity generation and cathodic hydrogenation for valuable chemical production shows great potential in energy and chemical industry. The key for this promising approach is the identification of cathode electrocatalysts with acid resistance, high activity, and low fabrication cost for practical applications. Among various promising cathodic candidates for this integrative approach, the easily available and cheap Cu suffers from low acidic hydrogenation activity due to kinetically arduous proton adsorption/activation. Inspired by the kinetic advantages of the concerted proton-coupled electron transfer (CPET) over the sequential proton-electron transfer process, herein, we use phytate coordination on Cu surface to overcome the kinetic bottleneck for proton adsorption/activation through the CPET pathway in an acidic half-cell setup; this leads to 1 order of magnitude activity enhancement (36.94-fold) for nitrobenzene hydrogenation. Mechanistic analysis confirms that phytate, as proton acceptor, induces the CPET process and overcomes the above kinetic limitations by tuning the d-band center and concentrating protons on the Cu surface. Consequently, the CPET process facilitates the formation of active hydrogen intermediates for efficient cathodic hydrogenation. This work provides a promising approach to integrate electricity generation and chemical production.

Abstract
To design and synthesize heterophase noble-metal materials is of crucial importance owing to their unique structure and apparent properties. Ruthenium (Ru) is one of the most active candidates for hydrogen evolution reaction because of its low price compared with other precious metals, which is favorable for industrial hydrogen cycle operation. In this study, free-standing amorphous/crystalline Ru nanosheets are facilely synthesized through a controlled annealing method. Charge redistribution occurs at the phase interface because of the work function difference between amorphous and crystalline domains. The resulting structure and property are conductive to the adsorption and dissociation of water molecules, associated with optimized hydrogen interaction and enhanced binding between Ru atoms. Accordingly, electrochemical measurements demonstrate that the amorphous/crystalline heterophase Ru exhibits improved hydrogen evolution efficiency as compared with pure amorphous Ru and pure crystalline Ru, at pH-universal conditions. Specifically, only 16.7 mV overpotential is required to reach 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 m KOH. Meanwhile, the heterophase structure displays a higher stability during operation than pure amorphous and crystalline structures. This study demonstrates the importance of phase engineering, broadens the Ru-based material family, and provides more insights for developing efficient metal materials.

Abstract
As a very attractive clean energy, hydrogen has a high energy density and great potential to achieve zero pollution emission. Therefore, the preparation of hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts with excellent performance is an urgent task to ameliorate the global energy shortage and environmental pollution. Here, a trace amount of NiP2 coupled with CoMoP nanosheets (NCMP) was synthesized by the one-step hydrothermal method and low-temperature phosphidation. Studies have found that although the dosage of NiP2 is very low, its appearance has been efficient to improve the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of CoMoP, which may be induced by the synergistic effect of the two different components NiP2 and CoMoP. To find the superior catalyst, the effect of Ni content on the catalyst performance is also studied, and it is found that when the dosage of Ni is 0.02 mM, NCMP-2 (2 means 0.02 mM) displays the most outstanding overpotential (10 mA cm-2) of 46 mV.

Abstract
Clean and sustainable energy needs the development of advanced heterogeneous catalysts as they are of vital importance for electrochemical transformation reactions in renewable energy conversion and storage devices. Advances in nanoscience and material chemistry have afforded great opportunities for the design and optimization of nanostructured electrocatalysts with high efficiency and practical durability. In this review article, we specifically emphasize the synthetic methodologies for the versatile surface overcoating engineering reported to date for optimal electrocatalysts. We discuss the recent progress in the development of surface overcoating-derived electrocatalysts potentially applied in polymer electrolyte fuel cells and water electrolyzers by correlating catalyst intrinsic structures with electrocatalytic properties. Finally, we present the opportunities and perspectives of surface overcoating engineering for the design of advanced (electro)catalysts and their deep exploitation in a broad scope of applications.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting is a promising method to generate pollution-free and sustainable hydrogen energy. However, the specific activity and durability of noble metal catalysts is the main hindrance to the hydrogen evolution reaction. Based on the continuous pore regulation of hollow porous carbon spheres (N-HPCSs) by hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, the 6.21 wt% Pt/N-HPCSs exhibited good dispersibility, according to a low overpotential of 45 mV (10 mA cm-2/1 M KOH). Its mass activity was 4 times that of the commercial 20 wt% Pt/C at -0.07 V (vs. RHE) potential. We analyse that the excellent activity is due to the interaction between Pt nanoparticles and N-HPCSs so that the electron density around the Pt atoms increases, which is beneficial for H2O to obtain electrons and transform into Had. Meanwhile the sea urchin-like structure of N-HPCSs facilitates the desorption of H2. Furthermore, the overpotential showed no obvious decrease in the long-term durability test, which should be attributed to the confinement of Pt nanoparticles by the well-defined pores in N-HPCSs to avoid the aggregation of Pt nanoparticles during long-term testing.

Abstract
A new variety of CdS/NiO core-shell p-n heterojunction is synthesized by in-situ chemically depositing NiO shell on single-crystal CdS nanorods for the first time. With this method, the range of NiO shell thickness can be accurately controlled within a few nanometers. The optimized CdS/NiO sample (CSN0.5) with a NiO shell layer of 1.5 nm exhibits a highly efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 731.7 μmol/h (corresponding to 243.9 mmol/g/h) without using co-catalyst, which is among the highest value of all the CdS-based photocatalysts. The apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of CSN0.5 at 365 nm wavelength reaches 28.19%. The remarkably enhanced photocatalytic performance can be attributed to a hydrogen spillover effect induced by ascorbic acid in CdS/NiO, which promotes the transmission of adsorbed H* from hydrogen-rich NiO (electron-poor region) to hydrogen-poor CdS (electron-rich region) where the adsorbed H* reacts in time with the photogenerated electron to produce H2, facilitating the H2 evolution reaction. This work provides a method to promote the photocatalytic H2 evolution reaction by using hydrogen spillover effect.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with carboxylate ligands as co-catalysts are very efficient for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the role of local adsorbed carboxylate ligands around the in-situ-transformed metal (oxy)hydroxides during OER is often overlooked. We reveal the extraordinary role and mechanism of surface-adsorbed carboxylate ligands on bi/trimetallic layered double hydroxides (LDHs)/MOFs for OER electrocatalytic activity enhancement. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the carboxylic groups around metal (oxy)hydroxides can efficiently induce interfacial electron redistribution, facilitate an abundant high-valence state of nickel species with a partially distorted octahedral structure, and optimize the d-band center together with the beneficial Gibbs free energy of the intermediate. Furthermore, the results of in situ Raman and FTIR spectra reveal that the surface-adsorbed carboxylate ligands as Lewis base can promote sluggish OER kinetics by accelerating proton transfer and facilitating adsorption, activation, and dissociation of hydroxyl ions (OH- ).

Abstract
Developing electrocatalysts with excellent catalytic performance and superior durability for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) remains a challenge. Herein, metal-nitrogen sites (M-Nx, M = Ni and Cu) are successfully implanted into zeolitic imidazolate zinc framework (ZIF-8)-derived nitrogen-doped porous carbon (ZIF/NC) to prepare Ni-ZIF/NC and Cu-ZIF/NC electrocatalysts for the HER. These M-Nx active sites significantly enhanced the electrocatalytic activities of Ni-ZIF/NC and Cu-ZIF/NC. Metal Ni acted as a catalyst for catalysis of Ni-ZIF/NC to form carbon nanotubes-like structures, which provided convenient ion transmission pathways. Owing to its special morphology and an increased number of defects, Ni-ZIF/NC displayed superior electrocatalytic activity in the HER compared to those of Cu-ZIF/NC and ZIF/NC. In an alkaline environment, Ni-ZIF/NC exhibited an overpotential at the current density of 10 mA cm-2 (η10) of 163.0 mV and Tafel slope of 85.0 mV dec-1, demonstrating an electrocatalytic property equivalent to that of Pt/C. In an acidic environment, Ni-ZIF/NC yielded a η10 of 177.4 mV and Tafel slope of 83.9 mV dec-1, which were comparable to those of 20 wt.% Pt/C. Moreover, Ni-ZIF/NC and Cu-ZIF/NC also exhibited superior stabilities in alkaline environments. This work offers a valuable strategy for controlling the morphology and implanting M-Nx active sites into carbon for designing novel catalysts for use in alternative new energy applications.

Abstract
Hydrogen spillover phenomenon of metal-supported electrocatalysts can significantly impact their activity in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, design of active electrocatalysts faces grand challenges due to the insufficient understandings on how to overcome this thermodynamically and kinetically adverse process. Here we theoretically profile that the interfacial charge accumulation induces by the large work function difference between metal and support (∆Φ) and sequentially strong interfacial proton adsorption construct a high energy barrier for hydrogen transfer. Theoretical simulations and control experiments rationalize that small ∆Φ induces interfacial charge dilution and relocation, thereby weakening interfacial proton adsorption and enabling efficient hydrogen spillover for HER. Experimentally, a series of Pt alloys-CoP catalysts with tailorable ∆Φ show a strong ∆Φ-dependent HER activity, in which PtIr/CoP with the smallest ∆Φ = 0.02 eV delivers the best HER performance. These findings have conclusively identified ∆Φ as the criterion in guiding the design of hydrogen spillover-based binary HER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
As one of the most abundant resources on the Earth, seawater is not only a promising electrolyte for industrial hydrogen production through electrolysis, but also of great significance for the refining of edible salt. Despite the great potential for large-scale hydrogen production, the implementation of water electrolysis requires efficient and stable electrocatalysts that can maintain high activity for water splitting without chloride corrosion. Recent years have witnessed great achievements in the development of highly efficient electrocatalysts toward seawater splitting. Starting from the historical background to the most recent achievements, this review will provide insights into the current state, challenges, and future perspectives of hydrogen production through seawater electrolysis. In particular, the mechanisms of overall water splitting, key features of seawater electrolysis, noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for seawater electrolysis and the underlying mechanisms are also highlighted to provide guidance for fabricating more efficient electrocatalysts toward seawater splitting.

Abstract
Morphology-control synthesis is an effective means to tailor surface structure of noble-metal nanocrystals, which offers a sensitive knob for tuning their electrocatalytic properties. The functional molecules are often indispensable in the morphology-control synthesis through preferential adsorption on specific crystal facets, or controlling certain crystal growth directions. In this review, the recent progress in morphology-control synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals assisted by amino-based functional molecules for electrocatalytic applications are focused on. Although a mass of noble-metal nanocrystals with different morphologies have been reported, few review studies have been published related to amino-based molecules assisted control strategy. A full understanding for the key roles of amino-based molecules in the morphology-control synthesis is still necessary. As a result, the explicit roles and mechanisms of various types of amino-based molecules, including amino-based small molecules and amino-based polymers, in morphology-control of noble-metal nanocrystals are summarized and discussed in detail. Also presented in this progress are unique electrocatalytic properties of various shaped noble-metal nanocrystals. Particularly, the optimization of electrocatalytic selectivity induced by specific amino-based functional molecules (e.g., polyallylamine and polyethyleneimine) is highlighted. At the end, some critical prospects, and challenges in terms of amino-based molecules-controlled synthesis and electrocatalytic applications are proposed.

Abstract
The sluggish reaction kinetics of the anodic oxygen evolution reaction increases the energy consumption of the overall water electrolysis for high-purity hydrogen generation. In this work, ultrathin cobalt sulfide nanosheets (Co3S4-NSs) on nickel foam (Ni-F) nanohybrids (termed as Co3S4-NSs/Ni-F) are synthesized using cyanogel hydrolysis and a sulfurization two-step approach. Physical characterizations reveal that Co3S4-NSs with a 1.7 nm thickness have abundant holes, implying the big surface area, abundant active edge atoms, and sufficient active sites. Electrochemical measurements show that as-synthesized Co3S4-NSs/Ni-F have excellent electrocatalytic activity and selectivity for ethanol oxidation reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction. Due to their bifunctional property of Co3S4-NSs/Ni-F nanohybrids, a symmetric Co3S4-NSs/Ni-F∥Co3S4-NSs/Ni-F ethanol electrolyzer can be effectively constructed, which only requires a 1.48 V electrolysis voltage to reach a current density of 10 mA cm-2 for high-purity hydrogen generation at the cathode as well as value-added potassium acetate generation at the anode, much lower than the electrolysis voltage of traditional electrochemical water splitting (1.64 V).

Abstract
We present an enhanced catalytic efficiency of palladium (Pd) nanoparticles (NPs) for the electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination (EHDC) reaction by incorporating the tetraethylammonium chloride (TEAC) ligand into the surface of NPs. Both experimental and theoretical analyses reveal that the surface-adsorbed TEAC is converted to molecular amine (primarily triethylamine) under reductive potentials, forming a strong ligand-Pd interaction that is beneficial to the EHDC kinetics. Using the EHDC of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), a dominant persistent pollutant identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as an example, the Pd/amine composite delivers a mass activity of 2.32 min-1 gPd-1 and a specific activity of 0.16 min-1 cm-2 at -0.75 V versus Ag/AgCl, outperforming Pd and most of the previously reported catalysts. The mechanistic study reveals that the amine ligand offers three functions: the H+-pumping effect, the electronic effect, and the steric effect, providing a favorable environment for the generation of reactive hydrogen radicals (H*) for hydrogenolysis of the C-Cl bond. It also weakens the adsorption strength of EHDC products, alleviating their poisoning on Pd. Investigation into the intermediate products of EHDC on Pd/amine and the biological safety of the 2,4-DCP-contaminated water after EHDC treatment demonstrates that EHDC on Pd/amine is environmentally benign for halogenated organic pollutant abatement. This work suggests that the tuning of NP catalysis using facile ligand post-treatment may lead to new strategies to improve EHDC for environmental remediation applications.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic reduction of water via hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is considered one of the most ideal avenues to produce high-purity hydrogen (H2) in large quantities, which always requires active electrocatalysts to overcome the high energy barrier. It is of significance yet challenging to design and construct effective HER electrocatalysts of an acceptable cost. In this study, a highly efficient metal-organic framework (MOF)-based electrochemical HER system based on NiRu-based binary MOF (Ru-doped Ni2(BDC)2TED MOF, BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid; TED = triethylenediamine) nanosheets grown on conductive substrates (e.g., Ni foam, carbon cloth) is fabricated by a facile solvothermal method. The resultant NiRu-MOF-based composites possess enhanced electron transport ability and water stability, accompanied by increased electrochemically active areas and hydrophilic/aerophobic properties. With these advantages, the optimized NiRu-MOF nanosheet arrays on Ni foam substrate (NiRu-MOF/NF) with a Ru/Ni molar ratio of 6/94 in the MOF structure could exhibit efficient catalytic performance for HER in alkaline conditions, requiring a small overpotential of 51 mV at -10 mA cm-2. This study could provide a feasible way for the design and synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) MOF-based materials with controllable interface properties for energy catalysis and beyond.

Abstract
The capability of manipulating the interfacial electronic coupling is the key to achieving on-demand functionalities of catalysts. Herein, it is demonstrated that the electronic coupling of Fe2 N can be effectively regulated for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysis by vacancy-mediated orbital steering. Ex situ refined structural analysis reveals that the electronic and coordination states of Fe2 N can be well manipulated by nitrogen vacancies, which impressively exhibit strong correlation with the catalytic activities. Theoretical studies further indicate that the nitrogen vacancy can uniquely steer the orbital orientation of the active sites to tailor the electronic coupling and thus benefit the surface adsorption capability. This work sheds light on the understanding of the catalytic mechanism in real systems and could contribute to revolutionizing the current catalyst design for HER and beyond.

Abstract
Fabricating highly efficient electrocatalysts for electrochemical hydrogen generation is a top priority to relief the global energy crisis and environmental contamination. Herein, a rational synthetic strategy is developed for constructing well-defined FeP-CoMoP hierarchical nanostructures (HNSs). In general terms, the self-supported Co nanorods (NRs) are grown on conductive carbon cloth and directly serve as a self-sacrificing template. After solvothermal treatment, Co NRs are converted into well-ordered Co-Mo nanotubes (NTs). Subsequently, the small-sized Fe oxyhydroxide nanorods arrays are hydrothermally grown on the surface of Co-Mo NTs to form Fe-Co-Mo HNSs, which are then converted into FeP-CoMoP HNSs through a facile phosphorization treatment. FeP-CoMoP HNSs display high activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with an ultralow cathodic overpotential of 33 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 51 mV dec-1 . Moreover, FeP-CoMoP HNSs also possess an excellent electrochemical durability in alkaline media. First-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that the remarkable HER activitiy of FeP-CoMoP HNSs originates from the synergistic effect between FeP and CoMoP.

It is highly desired but challenging to grow self-supporting zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) derived carbon hybrids with well-aligned superstructures for various electrocatalytic applications. In this work, we present the controlled synthesis of ZIF-based carbon hybrid arrays using self-supporting NiCo2S4 nanotube arrays as self-sacrificing templates. Different from other reported carbon coated NiCo2S4 arrays with solid surfaces, the obtained NiCo2S4@NiCo/N-doped porous carbon array (NiCo2S4@NiCoNC/CC) have well-developed porous hollow structure and ultrafine NiCo nannoparticles deposited on the surface, which can provide facilitated channels and sufficient active sites for water electrolysis. The NiCo2S4@NiCoNC/CC exhibits superior catalytic performance for both hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction with high efficiency in alkaline solution, achieving small overpotentials of 81 and 280 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm-2, respectively. Moreover, the NiCo2S4@NiCoNC/CC electrode shows excellent stability over 16 h of operation due to the robust structure of the electrode. The proposed strategy is highly promising for the rational design of well-aligned ZIF derived carbon hybrid arrays with desired morphology and composition on various substrates towards various electrocatalytic fields.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic hydrogen production driven by surplus electric energies is considered a promising sustainable process for hydrogen supply. The high overpotential and low energy-conversion efficiency caused by the slow kinetics of the four-electron transfer oxygen-evolution reaction (OER), however, hamper its competitiveness. Herein, a highly stable, efficient OER catalyst was developed, taking the effects of both composition and nanostructure into account for the catalyst design. N-doped carbon-armored mixed metal phosphide nanoparticles confined in N-doped porous carbon nanoboxes, a particle-in-box nanostructure, were synthesized from monodisperse Ni3[Fe(CN)6]2·H2O nanocubes through sequential conformal polydopamine coating, ammonia etching, and thermal phosphorization. The product exhibited outstanding catalytic abilities for the OER in 1.0 M KOH, delivering 10, 100, and 250 mA/cm2 at ultrasmall overpotentials of 203, 242, and 254 mV, respectively, with an ultrasmall Tafel slope of 38 mV/dec, outperforming most recently reported top-notch iron-group-based OER catalysts. The long-term stability was also excellent, showing a small chronopotentiometric decay of 2.5% over a 24 h operation at 50 mA/cm2. The enhanced catalytic efficiency and stability may be attributable to the unique particle-in-box structure as a nanoreactor offering a local, fast reaction environment, the conductive N-doped porous carbon shell for fast charge and mass transport, the synergistic effect between multicomponent metal phosphides for enhanced intrinsic activities, and the carbon protection layer to prevent/delay the catalyst core from being deactivated. This combined particle-in-box and chainmail design concept for electrocatalysts is unique and advantageous and may be readily applied to the general field of heterogeneous reactions.

Abstract
As a promising alternative approach to industrial N2 fixation process, electrocatalytic N2 reduction reaction (NRR) can achieve efficient, sustainable, and eco-friendly ammonia production under ambient conditions. Developing efficient NRR catalysts is critical for the electrochemical ammonia synthesis. Herein, self-supported mesoporous Au3Pd film on Ni foam (mAu3Pd/NF) has been in situ synthesized via a micelle-assisted replacement strategy. Combination of bimetallic compositions, interconnected mesoporous structure, and binder-free characteristic, the mAu3Pd/NF shows a superior NRR performance in 0.1 M Na2SO4. This micelle-assisted replacement route is very important to construct efficient self-supporting mesoporous films for the NRR and other fields.

Abstract
Engineering of multicomponent heterostructures can yield exceptional functionalities and enhance electrocatalytic activities by a synergistic effect. Herein, Ni5P2 nanoparticle-decorated mesoporous PtRu film on Ni foam (Ni5P2-mPtRu/NF) has been synthesized via a facile two-step strategy. Ni5P2-mPtRu/NF possesses a well-developed continuous mesoporous structure and strong electronic interaction between Ni5P2 and PtRu, exhibiting an enhanced electrocatalytic performance towards an alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Ni5P2-mPtRu/NF achieves a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at an overpotential of 28.8 mV and a low Tafel slope of 56.5 mV dec-1, and has excellent durability. This work provides a promising pathway for developing self-supported mesoporous multicomponent heterostructures as efficient electrocatalysts for an alkaline HER.
