Abstract
Promoting water dissociation and H intermediate desorption play a pivotal role in achieving highly efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media but remain a great challenge. Herein, we rationally develop a unique W-doped NiSx/Ni heterointerface as a favorable HER electrocatalyst which was directly grown on the Cu nanowire foam substrate (W-NiSx/Ni@Cu) by the electrodeposition strategy. Benefiting from the rational design of the interfaces, the electronic coupling of the W-NiSx/Ni@Cu can be efficiently modulated to lower the HER kinetic barrier. The obtained W-NiSx/Ni@Cu exhibits an enhanced HER activity with a low overpotential of 38 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a small Tafel value of 27.5 mV dec-1, and high stability during HER catalysis. In addition, in-situ Raman spectra reveal that the Ni2+ active sites preferentially adsorb OH intermediate. The theoretical calculation confirms that the water dissociation is accelerated by the construction of W-NiSx/Ni heterointerface and H intermediate desorption can be also promoted by H spillover from S active sites in W-NiSx to Ni active sites in metal Ni. This work offers a valuable reference for rational designing heterointerface of electrocatalysts and provides an available method to accelerate the HER kinetics for the ampere-level current density under low overpotential.

Abstract
Transition metal tungstates (TMTs) possess a wolframite-like lattice structure and preferably form via an electrostatic interaction between a divalent transition metal cation (MII) and an oxyanion of tungsten ([WO4]2-). A unit cell of a TMT is primarily composed of two repeating units, [MO6]oh and [WO6]oh, which are held together via several M-μ2-O-W bridging links. The bond character (ionic or covalent) of this bridging unit determines the stability of the lattice and influences the electronic structure of the bulk TMT materials. Recently, TMTs have been successfully employed as an electrode material for various applications, including electrochemical water splitting. Despite the wide electrocatalytic applications of TMTs, the study of the structure-activity correlation and electronic factors responsible for in situ structural evolution to electroactive species during electrochemical reactions is still in its infancy. Herein, a series of TMTs, MIIWVIO4 (M = Mn/Fe/Co/Ni), have been prepared and employed as electrocatalysts to study the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under alkaline conditions and to scrutinize the role of transition metals in controlling the energetics of the formation of electroactive species. Since the [WO6]oh unit is common in the TMTs considered, the variation of the central atom of the corresponding [MO6]oh unit plays an intriguing role in controlling the electronic structure and stability of the lattice under anodic potential. Under the OER conditions, a potential-dependent structural transformation of MWO4 is noticed, where MnWO4 appears to be the most labile, whereas NiWO4 is stable up to a high anodic potential of ∼1.68 V (vs RHE). Potential-dependent hydrolytic [WO4]2- dissolution to form MOx active species, traced by in situ Raman and various spectro-/microscopic analyses, can directly be related to the electronic factors of the lattice, viz., crystal field splitting energy (CFSE) of MII in [MO6]oh, formation enthalpy (ΔHf), decomposition enthalpy (ΔHd), and Madelung factor associated with the MWO4 ionic lattice. Additionally, the magnitude of the Löwdin and Bader charges on M of the M-μ2-O-W bond is directly related to the degree of ionicity or covalency in the MWO4 lattice, which indirectly influences the electronic structure and activity. The experimental results substantiated by the computational study explain the electrochemical activity of the TMTs with the help of various structural and electronic factors and bonding interactions in the lattice, which has never been realized. Therefore, the study presented here can be taken as a general guideline to correlate the reactivity to the structure of the inorganic materials.

Abstract
The performance of a chemical reaction is critically dependent on the electronic and/or geometric structures of a material in heterogeneous catalysis. Over the past century, the Sabatier principle has already provided a conceptual framework for optimal catalyst design by adjusting the electronic structure of the catalytic material via a change in composition. Beyond composition, it is essential to recognize that the geometric atomic structures of a catalyst, encompassing terraces, edges, steps, kinks, and corners, have a substantial impact on the activity and selectivity of a chemical reaction. Crystal-phase engineering has the capacity to bring about substantial alterations in the electronic and geometric configurations of a catalyst, enabling control over coordination numbers, morphological features, and the arrangement of surface atoms. Modulating the crystallographic phase is therefore an important strategy for improving the stability, activity, and selectivity of catalytic materials. Nonetheless, a complete understanding of how the performance depends on the crystal phase of a catalyst remains elusive, primarily due to the absence of a molecular-level view of active sites across various crystal phases. In this review, we primarily focus on assessing the dependence of catalytic performance on crystal phases to elucidate the challenges and complexities inherent in heterogeneous catalysis, ultimately aiming for improved catalyst design.

Abstract
As a key structural parameter, phase depicts the arrangement of atoms in materials. Normally, a nanomaterial exists in its thermodynamically stable crystal phase. With the development of nanotechnology, nanomaterials with unconventional crystal phases, which rarely exist in their bulk counterparts, or amorphous phase have been prepared using carefully controlled reaction conditions. Together these methods are beginning to enable phase engineering of nanomaterials (PEN), i.e., the synthesis of nanomaterials with unconventional phases and the transformation between different phases, to obtain desired properties and functions. This Review summarizes the research progress in the field of PEN. First, we present representative strategies for the direct synthesis of unconventional phases and modulation of phase transformation in diverse kinds of nanomaterials. We cover the synthesis of nanomaterials ranging from metal nanostructures such as Au, Ag, Cu, Pd, and Ru, and their alloys; metal oxides, borides, and carbides; to transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and 2D layered materials. We review synthesis and growth methods ranging from wet-chemical reduction and seed-mediated epitaxial growth to chemical vapor deposition (CVD), high pressure phase transformation, and electron and ion-beam irradiation. After that, we summarize the significant influence of phase on the various properties of unconventional-phase nanomaterials. We also discuss the potential applications of the developed unconventional-phase nanomaterials in different areas including catalysis, electrochemical energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors), solar cells, optoelectronics, and sensing. Finally, we discuss existing challenges and future research directions in PEN.

Abstract
Developing efficient electrocatalysts at ampere-scale current densities is of paramount importance to advance industrial applications of alkaline water electrolysis. Herein, a hierarchical nanostructured electrocatalyst with two-dimensional Co(OH)x nanosheets grown on one-dimensional NiMoOx nanorods over three-dimensional porous Ni foam substrate is designed. The resulting catalyst delivers ultrahigh hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity in the alkaline solution, which only requires overpotentials of 185 and 332 mV to achieve the current densities of -500 and -1000 mA cm-2 in 1.0 m KOH, respectively, and shows robust stability at -1000 mA cm-2 for 11 days. The unique 1D @ 2D hierarchical structures with abundant hetero-interfaces can not only expose sufficient active sites but also boost alkaline HER kinetics with fast water dissociation ability. This present work may pave a new insight to design efficient electrocatalysts with hierarchical structures for alkaline HER with industry-level current density and stability.

Abstract
Two copper-based barrel-shaped polyoxometalates (POMs), namely, [{H3O}4{Na6(H2O)22}][{CuI (H2O)3}2{CuII (H2O)}3{B-α-BiIIIWVI9O33}2]·7H2O (NaCu-POM) and Li4[{NH4}2{H3O}3{Li(H2O)5}][{CuII(SH)}{(CuIICuI1.5)(B-α-BiIIIWVI9O33)}2]·9H2O (LiCu-POM) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of NaCu-POM and LiCu-POM reveal the presence of penta- and hexa-nuclear copper wheels per formula units, respectively; these copper wheels are sandwiched between two lacunary Keggin anions {B-α-BiIIIWVI9O33}9- (BiW9) to form the barrel-shaped title POM compounds. In both the compounds NaCu-POM and LiCu-POM, the mixed-valent copper centers are present in their respective penta- and hexa-nuclear copper wheels, established by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) as well as by bond valence sum (BVS) calculations. Compound LiCu-POM additionally shows the presence of a sulfhydryl ligand (SH-), coordinated to one of the copper centers of its {Cu6}-wheel, that is expected to be generated from the in situ reduction of sulfate anion present in the concerned reaction mixture (lithium-ion in ammonia solution may be the reducing agent). Interestingly, the title compounds, NaCu-POM and LiCu-POM exhibit an efficient electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by reducing water at neutral pH. Detailed electrochemical studies including controlled experiments indicate that the active sites for this electrocatalysis are the W(VI) centers of the title compounds, not the copper centers. However, a relevant tri-lacunary Keggin cluster anion {PVWVI9O33}7- (devoid of copper ion) does not show comparable HER as shown by the title compounds. The intra-cluster cooperative interactions of the mixed-valent copper centers (CuII/CuI) with the tungsten centers (W6+) make the overall system electrocatalytically active toward water reduction to molecular hydrogen at neutral pH. High Faradaic efficiencies (89 and 92%) and turnover frequencies (1.598 s-1 and 1.117 s-1) make the title compounds NaCu-POM and LiCu-POM efficient catalysts toward electrochemical water reduction to molecular hydrogen.

Abstract
The high price of noble metal resources limits its commercial application and stimulates the potential for developing new catalysts that can replace noble metal catalysts. Tungsten-based catalysts have become the most important substitutes for noble metal catalysts because of their rich resources, friendly environment, rich valence and better adsorption enthalpy. However, some challenges still hinder the development of tungsten-based catalysts, such as limited catalytic activity, instability, difficult recovery, and so on. At present, the focus of tungsten-based catalyst research is to develop a satisfactory material with high catalytic performance, excellent stability and green environmental protection, mainly including tungsten atomic catalysts, tungsten metal nanocatalysts, tungsten-based compound nanocatalysts, and so on. In this work, we first present the research status of these tungsten-based catalysts with different sizes, existing forms, and chemical compositions, and further provide a basis for future perspectives on tungsten-based catalysts.

Abstract
Bifunctional electrocatalysts for efficient hydrogen generation from water splitting must overcome both the sluggish water dissociation step of the alkaline hydrogen evolution half-reaction (HER) and the kinetic barrier of the anodic oxygen evolution half-reaction (OER). Nickel phosphides are a promising catalysts family and are known to develop a thin active layer of oxidized Ni in an alkaline medium. Here, Ni12P5 was recognized as a suitable platform for the electrochemical production of γ-NiOOH─a particularly active phase─because of its matching crystallographic structure. The incorporation of tungsten by doping produces additional surface roughness, increases the electrochemical surface area (ESCA), and reduces the energy barrier for electron-coupled water dissociation (the Volmer step for the formation of Hads). When serving as both the anode and cathode, the 15% W-Ni12P5 catalyst provides an overall water splitting current density of 10 mA cm-2 at a cell voltage of only 1.73 V with good durability, making it a promising bifunctional catalyst for practical water electrolysis.

Abstract
The exploration of efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under alkaline conditions is an importantway to promote the development of electrolytic water technology. Herein, the reduced graphene oxide-supported MoO42- modified amorphous cobalt metaphosphate cubes (a-Co(PO3)2/MoO4/rGO) as bifunctional OER/HER catalyst is prepared by anion exchange and phosphating, using the Prussian blue analogue (PBA) as a precursor. The resulting composite exhibits the low overpotentials (η) that of 290 and 50 mV for OER and HER in 1.0 M KOH solution at 10 mA cm-2, respectively. The electrochemical test and density functional theory (DFT) results reveal that the MoO42--modified optimizes the adsorption/desorption energy of H* of Co(PO3)2, thus enhance the HER activity. Benefiting from efficient HER and OER performances, an efficient and stable alkaline water electrolysis operation using a-Co(PO3)2/MoO4/rGO used as bifunctional catalyst can be carried out, which can deliver a current density (j) of 20 mA cm-2 at 1.65 V cell voltage and work continuously for 24 h.

Abstract
Given the critical demands on energy conversion, storage, and transportation, tremendous interest has been devoted to the field of material development related to energy harvesting, recently. As the only route towards energy utilization, the carriers with the characteristics of low carbon are regarded as the future choice, e.g., hydrogen and ammonia. To this end, electrocatalysis provides a green way to access these substances. However, the unfulfilled conversion efficiency is the bottleneck for practical application. In this review, the promising characteristics of amorphous materials and the amorphous-induced electrocatalytic enhancement (AIEE) were emphasized. In the beginning, the characteristics of amorphous materials are briefly summarized. The basic mechanism of heterogeneous electrocatalytic reactions is illustrated, including the hydrogen/oxygen evolution and oxygen/nitrogen reduction. In the third part, the electrocatalytic performance of amorphous materials is discussed in detail, and the mechanism of AIEE is highlighted. In the last section of this review, the challenges and outlook for the development of amorphous enhanced electrocatalysis are presented.

Abstract
Developing nonprecious-metal based catalysts with highly active and stable performance for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in neutral media is crucial points for realizing low-carbon economy because their practical use typically suffers from the slow kinetics. Herein, we developed S-doped MoO3nanosheets toward neutral HER, fabricated by a versatile solvothermal and subsequently sulfuration processes. The obtained catalyst exhibits a small overpotential of 106 mV to reach 10 mA cm-2in 1.0 M phosphate buffered saline, overwhelming most of recently reported catalysts. Meantime, it shows no notable deactivation after more than 60 h continuous electrolysis and 50 000 cycling tests. More importantly, the catalyst also can be applied in buffered seawater for electrocatalyzing HER, requiring 262 mV at 10 mA cm-2and maintaining over 60 h. These findings open a new route for designing MoO3-based catalysts for neutral hydrogen production.

Abstract
Transition metal hydroxides (M-OH) and their heterostructures (X|M-OH, where X can be a metal, metal oxide, metal chalcogenide, metal phosphide, etc.) have recently emerged as highly active electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of alkaline water electrolysis. Lattice hydroxide anions in metal hydroxides are primarily responsible for observing such an enhanced HER activity in alkali that facilitate water dissociation and assist the first step, the hydrogen adsorption. Unfortunately, their poor electronic conductivity had been an issue of concern that significantly lowered its activity. Interesting advancements were made when heterostructured hydroxide materials with a metallic and or a semiconducting phase were found to overcome this pitfall. However, in the midst of recently evolving metal chalcogenide and phosphide based HER catalysts, significant developments made in the field of metal hydroxides and their heterostructures catalysed alkaline HER and their superiority have unfortunately been given negligible attention. This review, unlike others, begins with the question of why alkaline HER is difficult and will take the reader through evaluation perspectives, trends in metals hydroxides and their heterostructures catalysed HER, an understanding of how alkaline HER works on different interfaces, what must be the research directions of this field in near future, and eventually summarizes why metal hydroxides and their heterostructures are inevitable for energy-efficient alkaline HER.

Abstract
To achieve high efficiency of water electrolysis to produce hydrogen (H2), developing non-noble metal-based catalysts with considerable performance have been considered as a crucial strategy, which is correlated with both the interphase properties and multi-metal synergistic effects. Herein, as a proof of concept, a delicate NiCo(OH)x-CoyW catalyst with a bush-like heterostructure was realized via gas-template-assisted electrodeposition, followed by an electrochemical etching-growth process, which ensured a high active area and fast gas release kinetics for a superior hydrogen evolution reaction, with an overpotential of 21 and 139 mV at 10 and 500 mA cm-2, respectively. Physical and electrochemical analyses demonstrated that the synergistic effect of the NiCo(OH)x/CoyW heterogeneous interface resulted in favorable electron redistribution and faster electron transfer efficiency. The amorphous NiCo(OH)x strengthened the water dissociation step, and metal phase of CoW provided sufficient sites for moderate H immediate adsorption/H2 desorption. In addition, NiCo(OH)x-CoyW exhibited desirable urea oxidation reaction activity for matching H2 generation with a low voltage of 1.51 V at 50 mA cm-2. More importantly, the synthesis and testing of the NiCo(OH)x-CoyW catalyst in this study were all solar-powered, suggesting a promising environmentally friendly process for practical applications.

Abstract
Water dissociation in alkaline solutions is one of the biggest challenges in hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs). The key is to obtain a catalyst with optimal and balanced OH adsorption energy and H adsorption/H2 desorption energy. Herein, we synthesized a Ni17W3/WO2 catalyst on the Ni foam that optimized the coverage and size of Ni17W3 alloys decorated on the NiWO4/WO2 substrate. Our experiments showed that Ni17W3-NiWO4 interfaces could accelerate water dissociation, and Ni17W3-WO2 interfaces facilitate adsorbed H atoms spillover and H2 desorption. In addition, we applied a suite of characterization techniques to analyze surface evolution processes in catalysts under various cathodic potentials so as to illustrate the competition between chemical oxidation and electrochemical reduction reactions. The results demonstrated that high coverage of large Ni17W3 nanoparticles resulted in a greater stable interface. The two efficient interfaces synergetically promote the Volmer-Tafel reaction. Ni17W3/WO2 catalysts exhibited extraordinary HER activity with a low overpotential of 48 mV at a 10 mA cm-2 current density and a Tafel slope of 33 mV dec-1. This work has shown that low-cost catalysts with proper hierarchical interfaces can be engineered and can be optimized into a tandem system, which will significantly promote HER activity in alkaline electrolytes.

Abstract
In situ electrochemical activation as a new pretreating method to adjust electrocatalytic performance attracts extensive attention. However, the activation mechanisms of electrocatalysts are still ambiguous. Herein, we propose a facile modulation strategy of in situ cathodic activation of FePx based on W-incorporation (W-FePx/IF) for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The activated W-FeOx with obvious surface reconstruction demonstrates the role of W-incorporation for driving the cathodic activation of FePx, which suggests the larger surface area and more active sites. In fact, W incorporation can not only accelerate the cathodic activation process but also act as the adsorption sites for Had to form the synergistic effect with FeOx for water dissociation. The obtained W-FeOx/IF exhibits greatly enhanced HER activity featuring decreased overpotential from 237.7 to 154.0 mV at 100 mA cm-2, which may be ascribed to W-FeOx with double catalytic active sites after cathodic activation. Additionally, the modulation effects of cathodic activation can be exactly achieved by changing electrochemical parameters such as CV cycles. W-FeOx/IF also shows excellent long-term stability for at least 100 h at 100 mA cm-2. This modulation engineering based on metal doping is expected to provide inspiration for the understanding of the cathodic activation process for efficient electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Despite the recent advances in electrochemical water splitting, developing cost-effective and highly efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) still remains a substantial challenge. Herein, two-dimensional cobalt phosphate hydroxides (Co5(PO4)2(OH)4) nanosheets, a unique stacking-disordered phosphate-based inorganic material, are successfully prepared via a facile and scalable method for the first time to serve as a superior and robust electrocatalyst for water oxidation. On the basis of the detailed characterization (e.g., X-ray absorption near-edge structure and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), the obtained nanosheets consist of special zigzag CoO6 octahedral chains along with intrinsic lattice distortion and excellent hydrophilicity, in which these factors contribute to the highly efficient performance of prepared electrocatalysts for OER. Specifically, Co5(PO4)2(OH)4 deposited on glassy carbon electrode (loading amount ≈0.553 mg cm-2) can exhibit an unprecedented overpotential of 254 mV to drive a current density of 10 mA cm-2 with a small Tafel slope of 57 mV dec-1 in alkaline electrolytes, which outperforms the ones of CO3(PO4)2 (370 mV) and Co(OH)2 (360 mV) as well as other advanced catalysts. Evidently, this work has opened a new pathway to the rational design of promising metal phosphate hydroxides toward the efficient electrochemical energy conversion.

Abstract
As a source of clean and sustainable energy, reliable hydrogen production requires highly efficient and stable electrocatalysts. In recent years, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been demonstrated as a promising electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs). Here, we demonstrate that a three-dimensional (3D) MoS2 quantum dot (MoS2QD) aerogel is an efficient cathode electrocatalyst that can be used to enhance the HER in acid, neutral, and alkaline (e.g., real seawater) environments. In studying the effects of the exfoliated MoS2 dimension for the HER, we found that the biofunctionalized exfoliated MoS2QD shows much higher cathodic density, a more lower energy input, and a lower Tafel slope for the HER than the larger size of the chlorophyll-assisted exfoliated MoS2, highlighting the importance of the size of the MoS2 aerogel support for accelerating the HER performance. Moreover, the electrocatalytic activity of MoS2QD-aerogel is superior to that of Pt in neutral conditions. In real seawater, the MoS2QD-aerogel sample exhibits stable HER performance after consecutive scanning for 150 cycles, while the HER activity of the Pt dramatically decreases after 50 cycles. These results showed for the first time how the 3D MoS2 configuration in MoS2 aerogel can be used to effectively produce hydrogen for clean energy applications.

Abstract
Low-cost and high-performance catalysts are of great significance for electrochemical water splitting. Here, it is reported that a laser-synthesized catalyst, porous Co0.75 Ni0.25 (OH)2 nanosheets, is highly active for catalyzing overall water splitting. The porous nanosheets exhibit low overpotentials for hydrogen evolution reaction (95 mV@10 mA cm-2 ) and oxygen evolution reaction (235 mV@10 mA cm-2 ). As both anode and cathode catalysts, the porous nanosheets achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at an external voltage of 1.56 V, which is much lower than that of commercial Ir/C-Pt/C couple (1.62 V). Experimental and theoretical investigations reveal that numerous Co3+ ions are generated on the pore wall of nanosheets, and the unique atomic structure around Co3+ ions leads to appropriate electronic structure and adsorption energy of intermediates, thus accelerating hydrogen and oxygen evolution.
