Abstract
Transition metal borides, carbides, pnictides, and chalcogenides (X-ides) have emerged as a class of materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Because of their high earth abundance, electrical conductivity, and OER performance, these electrocatalysts have the potential to enable the practical application of green energy conversion and storage. Under OER potentials, X-ide electrocatalysts demonstrate various degrees of oxidation resistance due to their differences in chemical composition, crystal structure, and morphology. Depending on their resistance to oxidation, these catalysts will fall into one of three post-OER electrocatalyst categories: fully oxidized oxide/(oxy)hydroxide material, partially oxidized core@shell structure, and unoxidized material. In the past ten years (from 2013 to 2022), over 890 peer-reviewed research papers have focused on X-ide OER electrocatalysts. Previous review papers have provided limited conclusions and have omitted the significance of "catalytically active sites/species/phases" in X-ide OER electrocatalysts. In this review, a comprehensive summary of (i) experimental parameters (e.g., substrates, electrocatalyst loading amounts, geometric overpotentials, Tafel slopes, etc.) and (ii) electrochemical stability tests and post-analyses in X-ide OER electrocatalyst publications from 2013 to 2022 is provided. Both mono and polyanion X-ides are discussed and classified with respect to their material transformation during the OER. Special analytical techniques employed to study X-ide reconstruction are also evaluated. Additionally, future challenges and questions yet to be answered are provided in each section. This review aims to provide researchers with a toolkit to approach X-ide OER electrocatalyst research and to showcase necessary avenues for future investigation.

Abstract
Exploring efficient, affordable and stable electrocatalyst toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is of great scientific significance for the practical implementation of the water splitting. The heteroatom doping represents a serviceable strategy to further elevate the catalytic performance for a transition metal-based electrocatalyst because of the electronic regulation effect. Herein, a reliable self-sacrificial template-engaged approach is proposed to synthesize O-doped CoP (denoted as O-CoP) microflowers, which simultaneously considers the regualtion of electronic configuration via anion doping and sufficient exposure of active sites via nanostructure engineering. The suitable O incorporation content in CoP matrix could tremendously modify the electronic configuration, accelerate the charge transfer, promote the exposure of active sites, strengthen the electrical conductivity, and adjust the adsorption state of H*. Consequently, the optimized O-CoP microflowers with optimal O concentration display a remarkable HER property with a small overpotential of 125 mV to afford a current density of 10 mA cm-2 , a low Tafel slope of 68 mV dec-1 and long-term durability for 32 h under alkaline electrolyte, manifesting a considerable potential application for hydrogen production at large scale. The integration of anion incorporation and architecture engineering in this work will bring in a depth insight for the design of low-cost and effective electrocatalysts in energy conversion and storage systems.

Abstract
The serpentine germanate materials are promising oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts due to their unique layered crystal structure and electronic structure. However, the catalytic activities still need to be improved to satisfy the practical applications. Adjusting the d-band center of metal active site to balance the adsorption and desorption of intermediates is considered an effective approach to improve the OER activity. In this work, an element dopant strategy was proposed to optimize the d-band state of Ni3Ge2O5(OH)4 serpentine to improve the OER activity. The density functional theory calculations revealed that Fe3+ doping increased the d-band center of the Ni3Ge2O5(OH)4 serpentine, which optimized the adsorption strength of intermediates on surface Ni and Fe atoms so that the Fe3+ doped Ni3Ge2O5(OH)4 (Ni2.25Fe0.75Ge2O5(OH)4) exhibited much reduced Gibbs free energy changes in the rate-determining step compared with pristine serpentine. Inspired by the theoretical calculations, the NixFe3-xGe2O5(OH)4 nanosheets with different amounts of doped Fe3+ were designed and synthesized. The structural characterizations indicated that Fe3+ was successfully doped into Ni3Ge2O5(OH)4 and replaced the Ni2+. The Fe3+ doped NixFe3-xGe2O5(OH)4 nanosheets showed greatly improved OER activity than Ni3Ge2O5(OH)4 and Fe3Ge2O5(OH)4. Further electrochemical analysis illustrated that Fe3+ doping reduced the adsorptive/formative resistance of intermediates and the charge transfer resistance and facilitated the kinetic process of OER. The in situ Raman spectra indicated that the Fe3+ doped Ni3Ge2O5(OH)4 possesses a more active Ni-O bond than pristine Ni3Ge2O5(OH)4. This work provides an effective strategy to tune the d-band center of serpentines for efficient electrocatalytic OER.

Abstract
The coordination environment of Ru centers determines their catalytic performance, however, much less attention is focused on cluster-induced charge transfer in a Ru single-atom system. Herein, by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, a competitive coordination-pairing between Ru clusters (RuRu bond) and single-atoms (RuO bond) is revealed leading to the charge redistribution between Ru and O atoms in ZnFe2 O4 units which share more free electrons to participate in the hydrogen desorption process, optimizing the proton adsorption and hydrogen desorption. Thus, a clicking confinement strategy for building a competitive coordination-pairing between Ru clusters and single-atoms anchored on ZnFe2 Ox nanosheets over carbon via RuO ligand (Ru1, n -ZnFe2 Ox -C) is proposed. Benefiting from the optimized coordination effect and the electronic synergy between Ru clusters and single-atoms, such a catalyst demonstrates the excellent activity and excellent stability in alkaline and seawater media, which has exceptional hydrogen evolution reaction activity with overpotentials as low as 10.1 and 15.9 mV to reach the current density of 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline and seawater media, respectively, higher than that of commercial Pt/C catalysts as a benchmark. Furthermore, it owns remarkably outstanding mass activity, approximately 2 and 8 times higher than that of Pt catalysts in alkaline and seawater media, respectively.

Abstract
It is significant to develop reasonable and efficient hydrogen evolution reaction catalysts to alleviate the energy crisis, yet challenging to produce hydrogen through the electrolysis of water and urea. In this work, the dual control strategy of doping and vacancy creation was used to improve the electrocatalytic performance of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for the design of a multifunctional catalyst. A series of M-doped-Ni5P4/M-doped Ni(OH)2 (M = Fe, Co, Cu, Cr) hierarchical materials with abundant oxygen vacancies was constructed for the first time by hydrothermal and partial phosphating methods. The Co-doped-Ni5P4/Co-doped-Ni(OH)2 (Co-Ni5P4-NiCoOH) exhibited superior performance in HER, OER and urea oxidation reaction (UOR). Moreover, the electrode couple is fitted with two Co-Ni5P4-NiCoOH (C-NP-NCOH) electrodes to drive the current density of 10 mA cm-2; the necessary cell voltage was 1.57 V in 1.0 M KOH with 0.5 M urea for urea electrolysis and water electrolysis required a 1.6 V cell voltage in 1.0 M KOH electrolyte, which is one of the best catalytic activities reported so far. The experimental results suggest that the co-action of Co-doping and oxygen vacancies increases the specific surface area of the material, enhances the electronic conductivity and promotes the exposure of more active sites, thus improving the water splitting and urea electrolysis performances of the catalyst. Density functional theory analysis suggests that Co-Ni5P4-NiCoOH displays optimal adsorption energy of water and electrical conductivity, thus optimizing the adsorption/desorption of intermediates.

Abstract
The main challenge hindering the use of Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) for electrochemical applications is their high cost and agglomeration. Herein, a trifunctional electrode material based on a two-dimensional cerium-based metal organic framework (2D Ce-MOF) decorated with Pt NPs is constructed. The large specific surface area of the 2D Ce-MOF can effectively prevent the phenomenon of Pt NPs reaction. The strong synergy between Pt NPs and the 2D Ce-MOF not only significantly enhances electron transport efficiency, but also increases the number of electrochemically reaction reactive sites. As a result, the Ce-MOF@Pt presents excellent performance in the HER (Hydrogen Evolution Reaction), OER (Oxygen Evolution Reaction) and supercapacitor reactions. The Tafel slopes of OER and HER are 47.9 and 188.1 mV dec-1, respectively. Meanwhile, Ce-MOF@Pt-0.05 shows a specific capacity of 1894F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 and remains at 111.5% of the initial capacitance after 3000 cycles. In general, this study highlights the importance of Pt NPs in promoting the electrochemical performance of MOFs and reveals a new way to reduce electrocatalyst prices.

Abstract
The exploitation of cost-efficiently electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) over a wide pH range remains a challenge. Herein, we prepared a novel multi-interface MoS2/Ni3S4/Mo2S3 composite on carbon cloth (CC) that acts as an efficient electrocatalyst over a wide pH range through a facile one-pot strategy, where (NH4)4[NiH6Mo6O24]·5H2O (abbreviated to NiMo6) as a bimetallic precursor and Ni(NO3)2·6H2O as one of the raw materials and salt are used together with thiourea (TU) for converting them into the MoS2/Ni3S4/Mo2S3 load on CC (abbreviated as MoS2/Ni3S4/Mo2S3/CC). MoS2/Ni3S4/Mo2S3/CC-24 h shows a distinguished electrocatalytic performance towards HER with long-term stability in acid and alkaline media. It presents low overpotentials of 38 mV and 51 mV in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1.0 M KOH at 10 mA cm-2, respectively. This work can deliver a new idea to fabricate cost-efficient and long-term durability HER electrocatalysts over a broad pH range.

Abstract
Developing low-cost and high-activity transition metal oxide electrocatalysts for an efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at a large current density is highly demanded for industrial application and remains a big challenge. Herein, we report vertically aligned cobalt doped Ni–Fe based oxide (Co–NiO/Fe2O3) arrays as a robust OER electrocatalyst via a simple method combining hydrothermal reaction with heat treatment. Density functional theory calculation and XRD Rietveld refinement reveal that Co preferentially occupies the Ni sites compared to Fe in the Ni–Fe based oxides. The electronic structures of the Co–NiO/Fe2O3 could be further optimized, leading to the improvement of the intrinsic electronic conductivity and d-band center energy level and the decrease in the reaction energy barrier of the rate-determining step for the OER, thus accelerating its OER electrocatalytic activity. The Co–NiO/Fe2O3 nanosheet arrays display state-of-the-art OER activities at a large current density for industrial demands among Fe–Co–Ni based oxide electrocatalysts, which only require an ultra-low overpotential of 230 mV at a high current density of 500 mA cm−2, and exhibit superb durability at 500 mA cm−2 for at least 300 h without obvious degradation. The Co–NiO/Fe2O3 nanosheet arrays also have a small Tafel slope of 33.9 mV dec−1, demonstrating fast reaction kinetics. This work affords a simple and effective method to design and construct transition metal oxide based electrocatalysts for efficient water oxidation. Co–NiO/Fe2O3 nanosheets featuring Co substitution on Ni sites can effectively regulate electronic structures and exhibit high OER activities with low overpotential (η500 = 230 mV), small Tafel slope (33.9 mV dec−1) and superb durability for 300 h.![]()

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) plays a key role in many electrochemical energy conversion systems, but it is a kinetically sluggish reaction and requires a large overpotential to deliver appreciable current, especially for the non-noble metal electrocatalysts. In this study, the authors report a surface phase engineering strategy to improve the OER performance of transition metal nitrides (TMNs). The iron-nickel nitrides/alloy nanospheres (FeNi3 -N) wrapped in carbon are synthesized, and the optimized FeNi3 -N catalyst displays dual-phase nitrides on the surface induced by atom migration phenomenon, resulting from the different migration rates of metal atoms during the nitridation process. It shows excellent OER performance in alkaline media with an overpotential of 222 mV at 10 mA cm-2 , a small Tafel slope of 41.53 mV dec-1 , and long-term durability under high current density (>0.5 A cm-2 ) for at least 36 h. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further reveal that the dual-phase nitrides are favorable to decrease the energy barrier, modulate the d-band center to balance the absorption and desorption of the intermediates, and thus promote the OER electrochemical performance. This strategy may shed light on designing OER and other catalysts based on surface phase engineering.

Abstract
Water electrolysis is considered to be one of the most promising technologies to produce clean fuels. However, its extensive realization critically depends on the progress in cost-effective and high-powered oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts. As a member of the big family of two-dimensional (2D) materials, nanostructured layered double hydroxides (nLDHs) have made significant processes and continuous breakthroughs for OER electrocatalysis. In this Review, the advancements in designing nLDHs for OER in recent years were discussed with a unique focus on their electronic modulations and in situ analysis on catalytic processes. After a brief discussion on different synthetic methodologies of nLDHs, including "bottom-up" and "top-down" approaches, the general strategies to enhance the catalytic performances of nLDHs reported so far were summarized, including compositional substitution, heteroatom doping, vacancy engineering, and amorphous/crystalline engineering. Furthermore, the in situ OER processes and mechanism analysis on engineering efficient nLDHs electrocatalysts were discussed. Finally, the research trends, perspectives, and challenges on designing nLDHs were also carefully outlined. This progress Review may offer enlightening experimental/theoretical guidance for designing highly catalytic active nLDHs and provide new directions to promote their future prosperity for practical utilization in water splitting.

Abstract
Restricting the aggregation and rationally adjusting the electronic structure of binary metal centers in metal-organic framework (MOF) precursors are important for optimizing their performance as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and achieving low overpotential and high stability in such applications. Herein, we demonstrate the possibility of enhancing the electrochemical activity of MOF-derived binary metal center catalysts by controlling the form of the Fe species. The introduction of Fe-SBU (iron 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid) into ZIF-67 is found to induce a distinct confinement effect and this can be exploited to improve the electroconductivity of binary metal center catalysts, and therefore, to reduce the OER reaction barrier (OOH* → O*). When applied as an OER catalyst in 1 M KOH solution, the Fe-SBU@Co-Matrix catalyst exhibits a low overpotential of 249 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and high stability for over 40 h. This work describes the secondary growth treatment of MOF-derived porous carbons to promote their application as catalysts in energy conversion reactions.

Abstract
Designing highly active and robust electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial for many renewable energy storage and conversion devices. Here, self-supported monolithic hybrid electrodes that are composed of bimetallic cobalt-molybdenum nitride nanosheets vertically aligned on 3D and bicontinuous nanoporous gold (NP Au/CoMoNx ) are reported as highly efficient electrocatalysts to boost the sluggish reaction kinetics of water oxidation in alkaline media. By virtue of the constituent CoMoNx nanosheets having large accessible CoMoOx surface with remarkably enhanced electrocatalytic activity and the nanoporous Au skeleton facilitating electron transfer and mass transport, the NP Au/CoMoNx electrode exhibits superior OER electrocatalysis in 1 m KOH, with low onset overpotential (166 mV) and Tafel slope (46 mV dec-1 ). It only takes a low overpotential of 370 mV to reach ultrahigh current density of 1156 mA cm-2 , ≈140-fold higher than free CoMoNx nanosheets. The electrocatalytic performance makes it an attractive candidate as the OER catalyst in the water electrolysis.

Abstract
Heavy metals have caused serious environmental problems and threat to human health. Ultrathin and holey two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets have recently drawn significant attention as superb adsorbent material to remove heavy metal ions due to their unique physicochemical properties. Herein, we report a self-template-directed ultrafast reaction route to synthesis porous hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) nanosheets via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method using poly(allylamine hydrochloride) as an additive. The resulting hydroxyapatite nanosheets showed a high specific surface area (92.9 m2 g-1) and excellent adsorption performance for various heavy metal ions including Pb(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II), with maximum adsorption capacities of 210.5, 31.6, and 24.9 mg g-1, respectively. The adsorption kinetics fitted well with the pseudo-second-order equation and the equilibrium data showed a high correlation coefficient with the Langmuir model. Based on the experimental results and analysis, we can conclude that the sorption of heavy metal ions with the hydroxyapatite nanosheets mainly attributes to surface complexation and cation exchange. The present synthetic strategy allows the fast and massive production of porous hydroxyapatite ultrathin nanosheets and may also potentially be applicable to the fabrication of other metal phosphates with assembled or hierarchical porous structures towards various applications such as water purification.

Abstract
Electrocatalysis is an efficient and promising means of energy conversion, with minimal environmental footprint. To enhance reaction rates, catalysts are required to minimize overpotential. Alternatives to noble metal electrocatalysts are essential to address these needs on a large scale. In this context, transition metal nitride (TMN) nanoparticles have attracted much attention owing to their high catalytic activity, distinctive electronic structures, and enhanced surface morphologies. Nickel-based materials are an ideal choice for electrocatalysts given nickel's abundance and low cost in comparison to noble metals. In this Minireview, advancements made specifically in Ni-based binary and ternary TMNs as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are critically evaluated. When used as OER electrocatalysts, Ni-based nanomaterials with 3 D architectures on a suitable support (e.g., a foam support) speed up electron transfer as a result of well-oriented crystal structures and also assist intermediate diffusion, during reaction, of evolved gases. 2 D Ni-based nitride sheet materials synthesized without supports usually perform better than 3 D supported electrocatalysts. The focus of this Minireview is a systematic description of OER activity for state-of-the-art Ni-based nitrides as nanostructured electrocatalysts.

CHEMSUSCHEM 2019; 12:4046-4053. [PMID: 31257701 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201901355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2019] [Revised: 06/25/2019] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
Metallic-state 2D SnS2 nanosheets with expanded lattice spacing and a defect-rich structure were synthesized by the intercalation of Ni into the van der Waals gap of SnS2 . The expanded lattice spacing efficiently enhanced the electrochemical performance of the SnS2 for sodium-ion batteries owing to the change electron state density and energy band structure. In operando synchrotron XRD and theoretical calculations were used to gain insight into the influence of foreign metal-ion doping and its location. The optimized architecture obtained by in situ uniform growth of nanosheets on carbon fibers significantly enhanced the electrochemical performance. The inherent advantages of this architecture are shorter paths for ion insertion and extraction, larger contact area for more sodium diffusion pathways, and superior electrolyte penetration. Benefiting from the Ni intercalated SnS2 bilayer, the internal adjustment of the electronic state and the enlarged interlayer spacing significantly enhanced the electron transport kinetics, which can be explained by the metallic-state properties. The integrated electrode exhibited an initial high reversible capacity of 795 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 , with a stable capacity retention of 666 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles. Good rate capability was also exhibited with specific capacities of 691, 564, 437 mAh g-1 at current densities of 200, 500, and 1000 mA g-1 , respectively.

Abstract
Tuning the electronic structure, morphology, and structure of electrocatalysts is of great significance to achieve a highly active and stable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, combining hydrothermal and low temperature phosphidation methods, V-doped Ni2P nanosheet arrays grown on carbon cloth (V-Ni2P NSAs/CC) were successfully prepared for the HER. It is found that the prepared V-Ni2P NSAs/CC exhibits preeminent performance for the HER. Specifically, it only requires an overpotential of 85 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH solution. Moreover, the V-Ni2P NSAs/CC shows superior electrochemical stability, maintaining its HER performance up to 3000 cyclic voltammetry cycles. This work affords a guiding strategy for the synthesis of a high-performance and stable electrocatalyst for the HER.
