Abstract
Studies on the interaction between hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in redox signaling motivate the development of a sensitive sensing platform for their discriminatory and dynamic detection. Herein, we present a fully integrated microfluidic on-chip electrochemical sensor for the online and simultaneous monitoring of H2S and H2O2 secreted by different biological samples. The sensor utilizes a cicada-wing-like RuCu bimetal-organic framework with uniform nanorods architecture that grows on a flexible carbon fiber microelectrode. Owing to the optimized electronic structural merits and satisfactory electrocatalytic properties, the resultant microelectrode shows remarkable electrochemical sensing performance for sensitive and selective detection of H2S and H2O2 at the same time. The result exhibits low detection limits of 0.5 μM for H2S and 0.1 μM for H2O2, with high sensitivities of 61.93 μA cm-2 mM-1 for H2S, and 75.96 μA cm-2 mM-1 for H2O2. The integration of this biocompatible microelectrode into a custom wireless microfluidic chip enables the construction of a miniature intelligent system for in situ monitoring of H2S and H2O2 released from different living cells to differentiate between cancerous and normal cells. When applied for real-time tracking of H2S and H2O2 secreted by colorectal cancer tissues, it allows the evaluation of their chemotherapeutic efficacy. These findings hold paramount implications for disease diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Herein, an ion-exchange strategy is utilized to greatly improve the kinetics of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by Ru-modified CoNi- 1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTC)-metal organic framework nanosheets (Ru@CoNi-MOF). Due to the higher Ni active sites and lower electron transfer impedance, Ru@CoNi-MOF catalyst requires the overpotential as low as 47 and 279 mV, at a current density of 10 mA/cm2 toward HER and OER, respectively. Significantly, the mass activity of Ru@CoNi-MOF for HER and OER are 25.9 and 10.6 mA mg-1, nearly 15.2 and 8.8 times higher than that of Ni-MOF. In addition, the electrolyzer of Ru@CoNi-MOF demonstrates exceptional electrolytic performance in both KOH and seawater environment, surpasses the commercial Pt/C||IrO2 couple. Theoretical calculations prove that introducing Ru atoms in - CoNi-MOF modulates the electronic structure of Ni, optimizes adsorption energy for H* and reduces energy barrier of metal organic frameworks (MOFs). This modification significantly improves the kinetic rate of the Ru@CoNi-MOF during water splitting. Certainly, this study highlights the utilization of MOF nanosheets as advanced HER/OER electrocatalysts with immense potential, and will paves a way to develop more efficient MOFs for catalytic applications.

Abstract
The hydrazine oxidation-assisted H2 evolution method promises low-input and input-free hydrogen production. However, developing high-performance catalysts for hydrazine oxidation (HzOR) and hydrogen evolution (HER) is challenging. Here, we introduce a bifunctional electrocatalyst α-MoC/N-C/RuNSA, merging ruthenium (Ru) nanoclusters (NCs) and single atoms (SA) into cubic α-MoC nanoparticles-decorated N-doped carbon (α-MoC/N-C) nanowires, through electrodeposition. The composite showcases exceptional activity for both HzOR and HER, requiring -80 mV and -9 mV respectively to reach 10 mA cm-2. Theoretical and experimental insights confirm the importance of two Ru species for bifunctionality: NCs enhance the conductivity, and its coexistence with SA balances the H ad/desorption for HER and facilitates the initial dehydrogenation during the HzOR. In the overall hydrazine splitting (OHzS) system, α-MoC/N-C/RuNSA excels as both anode and cathode materials, achieving 10 mA cm-2 at just 64 mV. The zinc hydrazine (Zn-Hz) battery assembled with α-MoC/N-C/RuNSA cathode and Zn foil anode can exhibit 97.3 % energy efficiency, as well as temporary separation of hydrogen gas during the discharge process. Therefore, integrating Zn-Hz with OHzS system enables self-powered H2 evolution, even in hydrazine sewage. Overall, the amalgamation of NCs with SA achieves diverse catalytic activities for yielding multifold hydrogen gas through advanced cell-integrated-electrolyzer system.

Abstract
Modifying the coordination or local environments of single-, di-, tri-, and multi-metal atom (SMA/DMA/TMA/MMA)-based materials is one of the best strategies for increasing the catalytic activities, selectivity, and long-term durability of these materials. Advanced sheet materials supported by metal atom-based materials have become a critical topic in the fields of renewable energy conversion systems, storage devices, sensors, and biomedicine owing to the maximum atom utilization efficiency, precisely located metal centers, specific electron configurations, unique reactivity, and precise chemical tunability. Several sheet materials offer excellent support for metal atom-based materials and are attractive for applications in energy, sensors, and medical research, such as in oxygen reduction, oxygen production, hydrogen generation, fuel production, selective chemical detection, and enzymatic reactions. The strong metal-metal and metal-carbon with metal-heteroatom (i.e., N, S, P, B, and O) bonds stabilize and optimize the electronic structures of the metal atoms due to strong interfacial interactions, yielding excellent catalytic activities. These materials provide excellent models for understanding the fundamental problems with multistep chemical reactions. This review summarizes the substrate structure-activity relationship of metal atom-based materials with different active sites based on experimental and theoretical data. Additionally, the new synthesis procedures, physicochemical characterizations, and energy and biomedical applications are discussed. Finally, the remaining challenges in developing efficient SMA/DMA/TMA/MMA-based materials are presented.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous materials with a long-range ordered structure and excellent specific surface area and have found a wide range of applications in diverse fields, such as catalysis, energy storage, sensing, and biomedicine. However, their poor electrical conductivity and chemical stability, low capacity, and weak adhesion to substrates have greatly limited their performance. Doping has emerged as a unique strategy to mitigate the issues. In this review, the concept, classification, and characterization methods of doped MOFs are first introduced, and recent progress in the synthesis and applications of doped MOFs, as well as the rapid advancements and applications of first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) in unraveling the mechanistic origin of the enhanced performance are summarized. Finally, a perspective is included to highlight the key challenges in doping MOF materials and an outlook is provided on future research directions.

Abstract
Photocatalytic selective oxidation plays an important role in developing green chemistry. However, it is challenging to design an efficient photocatalyst for controlling the selectivity of photocatalytic oxidation reaction and exploring its detailed mechanism. Here, we synthesized three conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) with D-A structures, named M-SATE-CMPs (MZn, Cu and Co), with different d-band centers based on different metal centers, resulting in the discrepancy in adsorption and activation capacities for the reactants, which produces the selectivity of β-keto esters being catalyzed into α-hydroperoxide β-keto esters (ROOH) or to α-hydroxyl β-keto esters (ROH). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations also demonstrate that the adsorption and activation capacities of the metal active centers in M-SATE-CMPs (MZn, Cu and Co) for ROOH are the key factors to influence the photocatalytic selective oxidation of β-keto ester. This study provides a promising strategy for designing a metallaphotoredox catalyst whose photocatalytic selectivity depends on the d-band center of metal site in the catalyst.

Abstract
Creating specific noble metal/metal-organic framework (MOF) heterojunction nanostructures represents an effective strategy to promote water electrolysis but remains rather challenging. Herein, a heterojunction electrocatalyst is developed by growing Ir nanoparticles on ultrathin NiFe-MOF nanosheets supported by nickel foam (NF) via a readily accessible solvothermal approach and subsequent redox strategy. Because of the electronic interactions between Ir nanoparticles and NiFe-MOF nanosheets, the optimized Ir@NiFe-MOF/NF catalyst exhibits exceptional bifunctional performance for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) (η10 = 15 mV, η denotes the overpotential) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) (η10 = 213 mV) in 1.0 m KOH solution, superior to commercial and recently reported electrocatalysts. Density functional theory calculations are used to further investigate the electronic interactions between Ir nanoparticles and NiFe-MOF nanosheets, shedding light on the mechanisms behind the enhanced HER and OER performance. This work details a promising approach for the design and development of efficient electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.

Abstract
Developing high-loading spin-polarized p-block-element-based single-atom catalysts (p-SACs) upon defect-free substrates for various chemical reactions wherein spin selection matters is generally considered a formidable challenge because of the difficulty of creating high densities of underpinning stable defects and the delocalized electronic features of p-block elements. Here our first-principles calculations establish that the defect-free rutile TiO2(110) wide-bandgap semiconducting anchoring support can stabilize and localize the wavefunctions of p-block metal elements (Sb and Bi) via strong ionic bonding, forming spin-polarized p-SACs. Cooperated by the underlying d-block Ti atoms via a delicate spin donation-back-donation mechanism, the p-block single-atom reactive center Sb(Bi) exhibits excellent catalysis for spin-triplet O2 activation and CO oxidation in alignment with Wigner's spin selection rule, with a low rate-limiting reaction barrier of ∼0.6 eV. This work is crucial in establishing high-loading reactive centers of high-performance p-SACs for various important physical processes and chemical reactions, especially wherein the spin degree of freedom matters, i.e., spin catalysis.

Abstract
Metal node engineering, which can optimize the electronic structure and modulate the composition of poor electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks, is of great interest for electrochemical natural seawater splitting. However, the mechanism underlying the influence of mixed-metal nodes on electrocatalytic activities is still ambiguous. Herein, a strategic design is comprehensively demonstrated in which mixed Ni and Co metal redox-active centers are uniformly distributed within NH2-Fe-MIL-101 to obtain a synergistic effect for the overall enhancement of electrocatalytic activities. Three-dimensional mixed metallic MOF nanosheet arrays, consisting of three different metal nodes, were in situ grown on Ni foam as a highly active and stable bifunctional catalyst for urea-assisted natural seawater splitting. A well-defined NH2-NiCoFe-MIL-101 reaches 1.5 A cm-2 at 360 mV for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and 0.6 A cm-2 at 295 mV for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in freshwater, substantially higher than its bimetallic and monometallic counterparts. Moreover, the bifunctional NH2-NiCoFe-MIL-101 electrode exhibits eminent catalytic activity and stability in natural seawater-based electrolytes. Impressively, the two-electrode urea-assisted alkaline natural seawater electrolysis cell based on NH2-NiCoFe-MIL-101 needs only 1.56 mV to yield 100 mA cm-2, much lower than 1.78 V for alkaline natural seawater electrolysis cells and exhibits superior long-term stability at a current density of 80 mA cm-2 for 80 h.

Abstract
The demand for the exploration of highly active and durable electro/photocatalysts for renewable energy conversion has experienced a significant surge in recent years. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), by virtue of their high porosity, large surface area, and modifiable metal centers and ligands, have gained tremendous attention and demonstrated promising prospects in electro/photocatalytic energy conversion. However, the small pore sizes and limited active sites of 3D bulk MOFs hinder their wide applications. Developing 2D MOFs with tailored thickness and large aspect ratio has emerged as an effective approach to meet these challenges, offering a high density of exposed active sites, better mechanical stability, better assembly flexibility, and shorter charge and photoexcited state transfer distances compared to 3D bulk MOFs. In this review, synthesis methods for the most up-to-date 2D MOFs are first overviewed, highlighting their respective advantages and disadvantages. Subsequently, a systematic analysis is conducted on the identification and electronic structure modulation of catalytic active sites in 2D MOFs and their applications in renewable energy conversion, including electrocatalysis and photocatalysis (electro/photocatalysis). Lastly, the current challenges and future development of 2D MOFs toward highly efficient and practical electro/photocatalysis are proposed.

Abstract
Current reconstruction chemistry studies are mainly operated at the laboratory scale, where the operating parameters are different from those used in industrial water electrolyzers. This gap leads to unclear reconstruction behaviors under industrial conditions and constrains the application of catalysts. Here, this work presents a new reconstruction mechanism and anomalous detachment phenomena observed in leaching-type oxygen-evolving precatalysts under industrial conditions, different from the reported results obtained under laboratory conditions. The identified detachment issues are closely linked to the production of a potassium salt separate phase, which proves sensitive to the local environment, and its instability easily leads to catalyst stripping from the substrate. By establishing detachment critical point and operating parameter-detachment correlation, a targeted reconstruction strategy is proposed to achieve smooth ligand leaching and effectively solve the detachment issue. Theoretical analyses validate the dual-site regulation in directionally reconstructed catalysts with optimized intermediate adsorption. Under industrial conditions, the coupled electrolyzer delivers an industrial-level current density at low cell voltage with prolonged durability, 1 A cm-2 at 2 V for over 340 h. This work bridges the gap of leaching-type precatalysts between laboratory test conditions and industrial operating conditions.

Abstract
Dispersion of single atoms (SAs) in the host is important for optimizing catalytic activity. Herein, we propose a novel strategy to tune oxygen vacancies in CeO2-X directionally anchoring the single atom platinum (PtSA), which is uniformly dispersed on the rGO. The catalyst's performance for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) can be enhanced by controlling different densities of CeO2-X in rGO. The PtSA performs best optimally densified and loaded on homogeneous and moderately densified CeO2-X/rGO (PtSA-M-CeO2-X/rGO). It exhibited higher activity in HER with an overpotential of 25 mV at 0.5 M H2SO4 and 33 mV at 1 KOH than that of almost reported electrocatalysts. Furthermore, it exhibited stability for 90 hours at -100 mA cm-2 in 1 KOH and -150 mA cm-2 in 0.5 M H2SO4 conditions, respectively. Through comprehensive experiments and theoretical calculations, the suitable dispersion density of PtSA on the defects of CeO2-X with more active sites gives the potential for practical applications. This research paves the way for developing single-atom catalysts with exceptional catalytic activity and stability, holding promise in advanced green energy conversion through defects engineering.

Abstract
Converting CO2 to synthetic hydrocarbon fuels is of increasing interest. In light of progress in electrified CO2 to ethylene, we explored routes to dimerize to 1-butene, an olefin that can serve as a building block to ethylene longer-chain alkanes. With goal of selective and active dimerization, we investigate a series of metal-organic frameworks having bimetallic catalytic sites. We find that the tunable pore structure enables optimization of selectivity and that periodic pore channels enhance activity. In a tandem system for the conversion of CO2 to 1-C4H8, wherein the outlet cathodic gas from a CO2-to-C2H4 electrolyzer is fed directly (via a dehumidification stage) into the C2H4 dimerizer, we study the highest-performing MOF found herein: M' = Ru and M″ = Ni in the bimetallic two-dimensional M'2(OAc)4M″(CN)4 MOF. We report a 1-C4H8 production rate of 1.3 mol gcat-1 h-1 and a C2H4 conversion of 97%. From these experimental data, we project an estimated cradle-to-gate carbon intensity of -2.1 kg-CO2e/kg-1-C4H8 when CO2 is supplied from direct air capture and when the required energy is supplied by electricity having the carbon intensity of wind.

Abstract
The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added chemicals with two or more carbons (C2+) is a promising strategy that cannot only mitigate anthropogenic CO2 emissions but also reduce the excessive dependence on fossil feedstocks. In recent years, atomically dispersed metal catalysts (ADCs), including single-atom catalysts (SACs), dual-atom catalysts (DACs), and single-cluster catalysts (SCCs), emerged as attractive candidates for CO2 fixation reactions due to their unique properties, such as the maximum utilization of active sites, tunable electronic structure, the efficient elucidation of catalytic mechanism, etc. This review provides an overview of significant progress in the synthesis and characterization of ADCs utilized in photocatalytic, electrocatalytic, and thermocatalytic conversion of CO2 toward high-value C2+ compounds. To provide insights for designing efficient ADCs toward the C2+ chemical synthesis originating from CO2, the key factors that influence the catalytic activity and selectivity are highlighted. Finally, the relevant challenges and opportunities are discussed to inspire new ideas for the generation of CO2-based C2+ products over ADCs.

Abstract
The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of defect-stabilized low-Pt-loading catalysts is closely related with defect type in support materials, while the knowledge about the effect of higher-dimensional defects on the property and activity of trapped Pt atomic species is scarce. Herein, small size (5-10 nm) TiO2 nanoparticles with abundant surface step defects (one kind of line defect) are used to direct the uniform anchoring of Pt atomic clusters (Pt-ACs) via Pt─O─Ti linkage. The as-made low-Pt catalysts (Pt-ACs/S-TiO2-NP) exhibit exceptional HER intrinsic activity due to the unique step-site Pi-O-Ti species, in which the mass activity and turnover frequency are as high as 21.46 A mg Pt -1 and 21.69 s-1 at the overpotential of 50 mV, both far beyond those of benchmark Pt/C catalysts and other Pt-ACs/TiO2 samples with less step sites. Spectroscopic measurements and theoretical calculations reveal that the step-defect-located Pt─O─Ti sites can simultaneously induce the charge transfer from TiO2 substrate to the trapped Pt-ACs and the downshift of d-band center, which helps the proton reduction to H* intermediates and the following hydrogen desorption process, thus improving the HER. The work provides a deep insight on the interactions between high-dimensional defect and well-dispersed atomic metal motifs for superior HER catalysis.

Abstract
The Ru-based catalyst for hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) with remarkable activity and reliability at high potential range remains a formidable challenge. Herein, the RuNi/C nanoparticles are customized, in which NiRu alloy is tightly wrapped with a carbon layer, delivering 2.2-fold and 8.3-fold enhancement in kinetic current density than that of commercial Pt/C and Ru/C, respectively. Notably, the current density maintains 2.93 mA cm-2 disk at 0.6 V vs RHE, which effectively improves the stability of Ru-based catalysts at high voltage. The NiRu alloy triggers electron redistribution between two metal elements and regulates the surface adsorption performance, coupled with a tightly wrapped outer carbon layer which is in situ formed with alloy as a good conductor of electronic and protection from the electrolyte. This work not only provides a novel electrocatalyst for efficient HOR with its potential for industrial application but also opens up a new avenue for designing highly active catalytic systems.

Abstract
The hybrid electrolyzer coupled glycerol oxidation (GOR) with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is fascinating to simultaneously generate H2 and high value-added chemicals with low energy input, yet facing a challenge. Herein, Cu-based metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) are reported as model catalysts for both HER and GOR through doping of atomically dispersed precious and nonprecious metals. Remarkably, the HER activity of Ru-doped Cu-MOF outperformed a Pt/C catalyst, with its Faradaic efficiency for formate formation at 90% at a low potential of 1.40 V. Furthermore, the hybrid electrolyzer only needed 1.36 V to achieve 10 mA cm-2, 340 mV lower than that for splitting pure water. Theoretical calculations demonstrated that electronic interactions between the host and guest (doped) metals shifted downward the d-band centers (εd) of MOFs. This consequently lowered water adsorption and dissociation energy barriers and optimized hydrogen adsorption energy, leading to significantly enhanced HER activities. Meanwhile, the downshift of εd centers reduced energy barriers for rate-limiting step and the formation energy of OH*, synergistically enhancing the activity of MOFs for GOR. These findings offered an effective means for simultaneous productions of hydrogen fuel and high value-added chemicals using one hybrid electrolyzer with low energy input.

Abstract
The synthesis of visible light-responsive and efficient photocatalysts toward green Baeyer-Villiger oxidation organic synthesis is of extraordinary significance. In this work, we have synthesized two examples of visible light responsive crystalline polyoxometalate@metal-organic framework materials Ru-NiMo and Ru-CoMo by introducing Ru metalloligands and {CdM3O12} bimetallic units (M = Ni or Co). This is the first report of metalloligand-modified polyoxometalate@metal-organic framework materials with bimetallic nodes, and the materials form a three-dimensional framework directly through coordination bonds between {CdM3O12} bimetallic units and metalloligands. In particular, Ru-NiMo can achieve efficient photocatalytic conversion of cyclohexanone to ε-caprolactone in yields as high as 95.5% under visible light excitation in the range of λ > 400 nm, achieving a turnover number and turnover frequency of 955 and 440 h-1, respectively, which are the best known photocatalysts for Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, while apparent quantum yield measured at 485 nm is 4.4%. Moreover, Ru-NiMo exhibited excellent structural stability and recyclability, producing a 90.8% yield after five cycles of recycling.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed as an ideal platform for exploration of the relationship between intrinsic structure and catalytic activity, but the limited catalytic activity and stability has hampered their practical use in water splitting. Herein, we develop a bond length adjustment strategy for optimizing naphthalene-based MOFs that synthesized by acid etching Co-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid-based MOFs (donated as AE-CoNDA) to serve as efficient catalyst for water splitting. AE-CoNDA exhibits a low overpotential of 260 mV to reach 10 mA cm-2 and a small Tafel slope of 62 mV dec-1 with excellent stability over 100 h. After integrated AE-CoNDA onto BiVO4, photocurrent density of 4.3 mA cm-2 is achieved at 1.23 V. Experimental investigations demonstrate that the stretched Co-O bond length was found to optimize the orbitals hybridization of Co 3d and O 2p, which accounts for the fast kinetics and high activity. Theoretical calculations reveal that the stretched Co-O bond length strengthens the adsorption of oxygen-contained intermediates at the Co active sites for highly efficient water splitting.

Abstract
The exploration into nanomaterial-based nonenzymatic biosensors with superb performance in terms of good sensitivity and anti-interference ability in disease marker monitoring has always attained undoubted priority in sensing systems. In this work, we report the design and synthesis of a highly active nanocatalyst, i.e., palladium and platinum nanoparticles (Pt&Pd-NPs) decorated ultrathin nanoporous gold (NPG) film, which is modified on a homemade graphene paper (GP) to develop a high-performance freestanding and flexible nanohybrid electrode. Owing to the structural characteristics the robust GP electrode substrate, and high electrochemically catalytic activities and durability of the permeable NPG support and ultrafine and high-density Pt&Pd-NPs on it, the resultant Pt&Pd-NPs-NPG/GP electrode exhibits excellent sensing performance of low detection limitation, high sensitivity and anti-interference capability, good reproducibility and long-term stability for the detection of small molecular biomarkers hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and glucose (Glu), and has been applied to the monitoring of H2O2 in different types of live cells and Glu in body fluids such as urine and fingertip blood, which is of great significance for the clinical diagnosis and prognosis in point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Single-metal-site catalysts have recently aroused extensive research in electrochemical energy fields such as zinc-air batteries and water splitting, but their preparation is still a huge challenge, especially in flexible catalyst films. Herein, we propose a sublimation strategy in which metal phthalocyanine molecules with defined isolated metal-N4 sites are gasified by sublimation and then deposited on flexible single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films by means of π-π coupling interactions. Specifically, iron phthalocyanine anchored on the SWCNT film prepared was directly used to boost the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction of the zinc-air battery, showing a high peak power density of 247 mW cm-2. Nickel phthalocyanine and cobalt phthalocyanine were, respectively, stabilized on SWCNT films as the anodic and cathodic electrocatalysts for water splitting, showing a low potential of 1.655 V at 10 mA cm-2. In situ Raman spectra and theoretical studies demonstrate that highly efficient activities originate from strain-induced metal phthalocyanine on SWCNTs. This work provides a universal preparation method for single-metal-site catalysts and innovative insights for electrocatalytic mechanisms.

Abstract
The nitridation of noble metals-based catalysts to further enhance their hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) kinetics in neutral and alkaline conditions would be an effective strategy for developing high-performance wide pH HER catalysts. Herein, a facile molten urea method is employed to construct the nitrided Rh nanoclusters (RhxN) supported on N-doped carbon (RhxN-NC). The uniformly distributed RhxN clusters exhibited optimized water bonding and splitting effects, therefore resulting in excellent pH-universal HER performance. The optimized RhxN-NC catalyst only requires 8, 12, and 109 mV overpotentials to reach the current density of 10 mA cm-2 in 0.5 M H2SO4, 1.0 M KOH, and 1.0 M PBS electrolytes, respectively. The spectroscopic characterizations and theoretical calculation further confirm the vital role of Rh-N moieties in RhxN clusters in improving the transfer of electrons and facilitating the generation of H2. This work not only provides a suitable nitridation method for noble metal species in mild conditions but also makes a breakthrough in synthesizing noble metal nitrides-based electrocatalysts to achieve an exceptional wide-pH HER performance and other catalysis.

Abstract
The development of cost-effective electrocatalysts with high efficiency and long durability for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) remains a great challenge in the field of water splitting. Herein, we design an ultrafine and highly dispersed Ru nanoparticles stabilized on porous V8C7/C matrix via pyrolysis of the metal-organic frameworks V-BDC (BDC: 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate). The obtained Ru-V8C7/C composite exhibits excellent HER performance in all pH ranges. At the overpotential of 40 mV, its mass activity is about 1.9, 4.1 and 9.4 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C in acidic, neutral and alkaline media, respectively. Meanwhile, Ru-V8C7/C shows the remarkably high stability in all pH ranges which, in particular, can maintain the current density of 10 mA cm-2 for over 150 h in 1.0 mol L-1 phosphate buffer saline (PBS). This outstanding HER performance can be attributed to the high intrinsic activity of Ru species and their strong interface interactions to the V8C7/C substrate. The synergistic effect of abundant active sites on the surface and the formed Ru-C-V units at the interface promotes the adsorption of reaction intermediates and the release of active sites, contributing the fast HER kinetics. This work provides a reference for developing versatile and robust HER catalysts by surface and interface regulation for pH tolerance.

Abstract
Exploring highly effective bifunctional electrocatalysts with surface structural advantages and synergistic optimization effects among multimetals is greatly important for overall water splitting. Herein, we successfully synthesized Pt-loaded NiFe-metal-organic framework nanosheet arrays grown on nickel foam (Pt-NiFe-MOF/NF) via a facile hydrothermal-electrodeposition process. Benefiting from large exposed specific surface, optimal electrical conductivity and efficient metal-support interaction endow Pt-NiFe-MOF/NF with highly catalytic performance, exhibiting small overpotential of 261 mV toward oxygen evolution reaction and 125 mV toward hydrogen evolution reaction at a current density of 100 mA cm-2 in alkaline medium. More significantly, the assembled water electrolyzer comprising the Pt-NiFe-MOF/NF//Pt-NiFe-MOF/NF couple demands a low cell voltage of 1.45 V to reach 10 mA cm-2. This work renders a viable approach to design dual-functional electrocatalysts with exceptional electrocatalytic activity and stability at high current density, showing the great prospect of water electrolysis for commercial application.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts. Chemically bonded MOFs on supports are desirable yet lacking in routine synthesis, as they may allow variable structural evolution and the underlying structure-activity relationship to be disclosed. Herein, direct MOF synthesis is achieved by an organic acid-etching strategy (AES). Using π-conjugated ferrocene (Fc) dicarboxylic acid as the etching agent and organic ligand, a series of MFc-MOF (M=Ni, Co, Fe, Zn) nanosheets are synthesized on the metal supports. The crystal structure is studied using X-ray diffraction and low-dose transmission electron microscopy, which is quasi-lattice-matched with that of the metal, enabling in situ MOF growth. Operando Raman and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy disclose that the NiFc-MOF features dynamic structural rebuilding during OER. The reconstructed one showing optimized electronic structures with an upshifted total d-band center, high M-O bonding state occupancy, and localized electrons on adsorbates indicated by density functional theory calculations, exhibits outstanding OER performance with a fairly low overpotential (130 mV at 10 mA cm-2 ) and good stability (144 h). The newly established approach for direct MOF synthesis and structural reconstruction disclosure stimulate the development of more prudent catalysts for advancing OER.

Abstract
Bimetallic metal-organic framework (BMOF) exhibits better electrocatalytic performance than mono-MOF, but deciphering the precise anchoring of foreign atoms and revealing the underlying mechanisms at the atomic level remains a major challenge. Herein, a novel binuclear NiFe-MOF with precise anchoring of Fe sites is synthesized. The low-crystallinity (LC)-NiFe0.33 -MOF exhibited abundant unsaturated active sites and demonstrated excellent electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. It achieved an ultralow overpotential of 230 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 41 mV dec-1 . Using a combination of modulating crystallinity, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations, the accurate metal sequence of BMOF and the synergistic effect of the active sites are identified, revealing that the adjacent active site plays a significant role in regulating the catalytic performance of the endmost active site. The proposed model of BMOF electrocatalysts facilitates the investigation of efficient OER electrocatalysts and the related catalytic mechanisms.

Abstract
The rising demand for fossil fuels and the resulting pollution have raised environmental concerns about energy production. Undoubtedly, hydrogen is the best candidate for producing clean and sustainable energy now and in the future. Water splitting is a promising and efficient process for hydrogen production, where catalysts play a key role in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). HER electrocatalysis can be well performed by Pt with a low overpotential close to zero and a Tafel slope of about 30 mV dec-1. However, the main challenge in expanding the hydrogen production process is using efficient and inexpensive catalysts. Due to electrocatalytic activity and electrochemical stability, transition metal compounds are the best options for HER electrocatalysts. This study will focus on analyzing the current situation and recent advances in the design and development of nanostructured electrocatalysts for noble and non-noble metals in HER electrocatalysis. In general, strategies including doping, crystallization control, structural engineering, carbon nanomaterials, and increasing active sites by changing morphology are helpful to improve HER performance. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives in designing functional and stable electrocatalysts for HER in efficient hydrogen production from water-splitting electrolysis will be described.

Abstract
The construction of low-cost and highly efficient oxygen evolution electrocatalysts is paramount for clean and sustainable hydrogen energy. In recent years, metal-organic framework (MOF) OER electrocatalysts have attracted tremendous research attention. Herein, we report a simple and facile strategy to construct bimetallic MOFs (named CoMn0.01) for enhancing OER catalytic performance. Significantly, CoMn0.01 exhibited remarkable OER activity (255 mV at 10 mA cm-2) and a low Tafel slope of 66 mV dec-1, superior to those of commercial benchmark electrocatalysts (RuO2, 352 mV, 178 mV dec-1). Besides, the catalyst demonstrated outstanding longevity for 144 h at a current density of 100 mA cm -2. Mn doping can regulate the electronic structure of Co MOFs, which optimizes charge transfer capability and improves conductivity.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202316550. [PMID: 38038407 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202316550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
Single-atom alloys (SAAs), combining the advantages of single-atom and nanoparticles (NPs), play an extremely significant role in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Nevertheless, understanding the catalytic mechanism of SAAs in catalysis reactions remains a challenge compared with single atoms and NPs. Herein, ruthenium-nickel SAAs (RuNiSAAs ) synthesized by embedding atomically dispersed Ru in Ni NPs are anchored on two-dimensional Ti3 C2 Tx MXene. The RuNiSAA-3 -Ti3 C2 Tx catalysts exhibit unprecedented activity for hydrogen evolution from ammonia borane (AB, NH3 BH3 ) hydrolysis with a mass-specific activity (rmass ) value of 333 L min-1 gRu -1 . Theoretical calculations reveal that the anchoring of SAAs on Ti3 C2 Tx optimizes the dissociation of AB and H2 O as well as the binding ability of H* intermediates during AB hydrolysis due to the d-band structural modulation caused by the alloying effect and metal-supports interactions (MSI) compared with single atoms and NPs. This work provides useful design principles for developing and optimizing efficient hydrogen-related catalysts and demonstrates the advantages of SAAs over NPs and single atoms in energy catalysis.

Abstract
The precise design and development of high-performing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for the production of industrial hydrogen gas through water electrolysis has been a widely studied topic. A profound understanding of the nature of electrocatalytic processes reveals that Ni-based catalysts are highly active toward OER that can stably operate at a high current density for a long period of time. Given the current gap between research and applications in industrial water electrolysis, we have completed a systematic review by constructively discussing the recent progress of Ni-based catalysts for electrocatalytic OER at a large current density, with special focus on the morphology and composition regulation of Ni-based electrocatalysts for achieving extraordinary OER performance. This review will facilitate future research toward rationally designing next-generation OER electrocatalysts that can meet industrial demands, thereby promoting new sustainable solutions for energy shortage and environment issues.

Abstract
A facile one-step solvothermal method was developed to synthesize Ir-doped Co-based metal-organic framework (CoIr-MOF) nanoarrays as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for water-glucose co-electrolysis. It was demonstrated that in situ incorporation of a low-content of Ir cations could modulate the electronic structure of Co active centers and thus boost the electrocatalytic performance towards both the hydrogen evolution reaction and glucose-to-formate oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with precisely controllable structures and highly ordered porosity possess great potential as electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, the catalytic performance of pristine COFs is limited by the poor active sites and low electron transfer. Herein, to address these issues, the conductive carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are coated by a defined structure RuBpy(H2 O)(OH)Cl2 in bipyridine-based COF (TpBpy). And this composite with single site Ru incorporated can be used as HER electrocatalyst in alkaline conditions. A series of crucial issues are carefully discussed through experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, such as the coordination structure of the atomically dispersion Ru ions, the catalytic mechanism of the embedded catalytic site, and the effect of COF and CNTs on the electrocatalytic properties. According to DFT calculations, the embedded single sites Ru act as catalytic sites for H2 generation. Benefitting from increasing the catalyst conductivity and the charge transfer, the as-prepared c-CNT-0.68@TpBpy-Ru shows an excellent HER overpotential of 112 mV at 10 mA cm-2 under alkaline conditions as well as an excellent durability up to 12 h, which is superior to that of most of the reported COFs electrocatalysts in alkaline solution.

Abstract
Cr(III) is a common oxidation state of chromium, and its presence in the environment can occur naturally or as a result of human activities, such as industrial processes, mining, and waste disposal. This article explores the application of machine learning algorithms for the intelligent decision recognition and quantification of Cr(III) in chromium speciation. Three different machine learning models, namely, the Decision Tree (DT) model, the PCA-SVM (Principal Component Analysis-Support Vector Machine) model, and the LDA (Linear Discriminant Analysis) model, were employed and evaluated for accurate and efficient classification of chromium concentrations based on their fluorescence responses. Furthermore, stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was utilized to achieve a more precise quantification of trivalent chromium concentrations through fluorescence visualization. The results demonstrate the potential of machine learning algorithms in accurately detecting and quantifying Cr(III) in chromium speciation with implications for environmental and industrial applications in chromium detection and quantification. The findings from this research pave the way for further exploration and implementation of these models in real-world scenarios, offering valuable insights into various environmental and industrial contexts.

Abstract
In the context of hydrogen production through water electrolysis, the development of efficient and stable electrocatalysts is of paramount importance. However, the creation of cost-effective electrocatalysts poses a significant challenge. In this study, a P and Nb co-doped NiFe2O4 nanosheet is designed and grown on Fe foam (referred to as P, Nb-NiFe2O4/FF). The P, Nb-NiFe2O4/FF exhibits a distinctive crystalline/amorphous heterostructure, and the co-doping of P and Nb in the material leads to the exposure of additional catalytic active sites, optimization of the electronic structure, and enhancement of charge conductivity. Additionally, the P, Nb-NiFe2O4/FF possesses a superhydrophilic surface for the enhancement of charge/mass transfer at interface and a superaerophobic surface, facilitating the efficient release of gas. The P, Nb-NiFe2O4/FF demonstrates remarkable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activities, achieving overpotential as low as 247 mV and 127 mV, respectively, to attain the current density response of 100 mA cm-2. Based on the high bifunctional activities, the P, Nb-NiFe2O4/FF requires only a working voltage of 1.56 V to obtain the current density of 10 mA cm-2 in overall water splitting. Furthermore, the overall water splitting device of P, Nb-NiFe2O4/FF is integrated with a commercial solar cell to simulate a solar-powered water splitting system, resulting in as superior solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency of 15.11%.

Abstract
Multifunctional electrocatalysts are crucial to cost-effective electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems requiring mutual enhancement of disparate reactions. Embedding noble metal nanoparticles in 2D metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are proposed as an effective strategy, however, the hybrids usually suffer from poor electrochemical performance and electrical conductivity in operating conditions. Herein, ultrafine Pt nanoparticles strongly anchored on thiophenedicarboxylate acid based 2D Fe-MOF nanobelt arrays (Pt@Fe-MOF) are fabricated, allowing sufficient exposure of active sites with superior trifunctional electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution, and oxygen reduction reactions. The interfacial Fe─O─Pt bonds can induce the charge redistribution of metal centers, leading to the optimization of adsorption energy for reaction intermediates, while the dispersibility of ultrafine Pt nanoparticles contributes to the high mass activity. When Pt@Fe-MOF is used as bifunctional catalysts for water-splitting, a low voltage of 1.65 V is required at 100 mA cm-2 with long-term stability for 20 h at temperatures (65 °C) relevant for industrial applications, outperforming commercial benchmarks. Furthermore, liquid Zn-air batteries with Pt@Fe-MOF in cathodes deliver high open-circuit voltages (1.397 V) and decent cycling stability, which motivates the fabrication of flexible quasisolid-state rechargeable Zn-air batteries with remarkable performance.

Abstract
Solar-driven water splitting powered by photovoltaics enables efficient storage of solar energy in the form of hydrogen fuel. In this work, we demonstrate efficient solar-to-hydrogen conversion using perovskite (PVK) tandem photovoltaics and a halogen-modulated metal-organic framework (MOF) electrocatalyst. By substituting tetrafluoroterephthalate (TFBDC) for terephthalic (BDC) ligands in a nickel-based MOF, we achieve a 152 mV improvement in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) overpotential at 10 mA·cm2. Through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray adsorption structure (XAS) analysis, theoretical simulation, and electrochemical results, we demonstrated that the introduction of fluorine atoms enhanced the intrinsic activity of Ni sites as well as the transfer property and accessibility of the MOF. Using this electrocatalyst in a bias-free photovoltaic electrochemical (PV-EC) system with a PVK/organic tandem solar cell, we achieve 6.75% solar-to-hydrogen efficiency (ηSTH). We also paired the electrocatalyst with a PVK photovoltaic module to drive water splitting at 206.7 mA with ηSTH of 10.17%.

Abstract
The N-doping strategy plays a vital role in optimizing electrocatalytic performance, but it often requires high-temperatures accompanied by the emission of irritating gases, which is contrary to the concept of energy saving and environmental protection. Based on this, this work innovatively uses the quenching of waste heat and the non-equilibrium state of materials to realize controllable N-doping. Notably, N dopants stimulate metal-like electroconductivity and accelerate the alkaline HER kinetics by optimizing the electronic structure of Ru2P. Surprisingly, the hydrophilic Ru core and the N-Ru2P shell with a low HER reaction energy barrier synergistically expedite hydrogen release. As anticipated, the current density of N-Ru2P@Ru (963 mA cm-2) is 2.6-fold that of Pt/C (359 mA cm-2) at 150 mV. Overall, the novel N-doping technology greatly simplifies material preparation procedures and reduces energy consumption. Moreover, this unique N-doping strategy provides a new idea for optimizing the catalyst structure and reaction kinetics.

Abstract
The exploration of efficient and stable noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is of great interest for the development of electrochemical hydrogen production technologies. Herein, nanoporous Ni-based catalyst with Mo and B co-addition (NiMoB) prepared by dealloying is reported as an efficient electrocatalysts for HER. The nanoporous NiMoB achieves an overpotential of 31 mV at 10 mA cm-2, along with exceptional catalytic stability in alkaline electrolyte. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the incorporation of Mo and B can synergistically optimize the electronic structure and regulate the adsorption of HER intermediates on the Ni active site, thus accelerating the HER kinetics. This study provides a new perspective for the development of non-precious Ni-based catalysts towards efficient hydrogen energy conversion.

Abstract
Electronic structure engineering lies at the heart of the catalyst design, however, utilizing one strategy to modify the electronic structure is still challenging to achieve optimal electronic states. Herein, an advanced approach that incorporating both Ru dopants and sulfur vacancies into thiospinel-type FeNi2S4 to synergistically modulate the electronic configuration, is proposed. Deep characterizations and theoretical study reveal that the in-situ formed Ni3+ species are real active centers. Ru doping and sulfur vacancies synergistically tune the electronic states of Ni2+ sites to a near-optimal value, leading to the formation of abundant oxygen evolution reaction (OER)-active Ni3+ species via electrochemical reconstruction. Consequently, the optimized Ru-FeNi2S4 catalyst can exhibit superb electrocatalytic performance towards OER, delivering the overpotentials of 253 mV and 340.8 mV at 10 mA·cm-2 in alkaline water and seawater, respectively. The proper combination of vacancy and heteroatom doping in this work may unlock the catalytic power of conventional catalysts toward electrochemical reactions.

Abstract
Developing highly efficient and stable hydrogen production catalysts for electrochemical water splitting (EWS) at industrial current densities remains a great challenge. Herein, we proposed a heterostructure-induced-strategy to optimize the metal-support interaction (MSI) and the EWS activity of Ru-Ni3 N/NiO. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations firstly predicted that the Ni3 N/NiO-heterostructures can improve the structural stability, electronic distributions, and orbital coupling of Ru-Ni3 N/NiO compared to Ru-Ni3 N and Ru-NiO, which accordingly decreases energy barriers and increases the electroactivity for EWS. As a proof-of-concept, the Ru-Ni3 N/NiO catalyst with a 2D Ni3 N/NiO-heterostructures nanosheet array, uniformly dispersed Ru nanoparticles, and strong MSI, was successfully constructed in the experiment, which exhibited excellent HER and OER activity with overpotentials of 190 mV and 385 mV at 1000 mA cm-2 , respectively. Furthermore, the Ru-Ni3 N/NiO-based EWS device can realize an industrial current density (1000 mA cm-2 ) at 1.74 V and 1.80 V under alkaline pure water and seawater conditions, respectively. Additionally, it also achieves a high durability of 1000 h (@ 500 mA cm-2 ) in alkaline pure water.

Abstract
Seawater electrolysis, taking advantage of the huge seawater resource, holds great promise for sustainable hydrogen generation. Compared to conventional water electrolysis, seawater electrolysis is more challenging because of the more complex and corrosive electrolyte and competitive side reactions, which necessitates the development of highly efficient and stable electrocatalysts. In this study, a self-supporting, highly porous NiFe-PBA (Prussian-blue-analogue) electrocatalyst with a hierarchically hollow nanostructure is introduced, which exhibits impressive catalytic performance towards the oxygen evolution in alkaline seawater electrolytes. In NiFe-PBA, the synergistic interaction between Ni and Fe improves intrinsic conductivity for efficient electron transfer, enhances chemical stability in seawater, and boosts overall electrocatalytic activity. The direct use of self-supporting NiFe-PBA as an electrocatalyst avoids the energy-intensive and tedious pyrolysis procedure during the preparation process while making use of the tailored morphological, structural, and compositional benefits of PBA-based materials. By combining the NiFe-PBA catalyst with the NiMoN cathode, the constructed two-electrode electrolyzer achieved a high current density of 500 mA cm-2 at a low cell voltage of 1.782 V for overall electrolysis of alkaline seawater, demonstrating excellent durability for 100 hours. Our findings have important implications for the hydrogen economy and sustainable development through the development of robust and efficient PBA-based electrocatalysts for seawater electrolysis.

Abstract
Hydrogen economy has emerged as a promising alternative to the current hydrocarbon economy. It involves harvesting renewable energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen and then further utilising clean hydrogen fuel for various applications. The rational exploration of advanced non-precious metal bifunctional electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is critical for efficient water splitting. Herein, an ultralow Ru-modified cobalt metal-organic framework (CoRu0.06-MOF/NF) two-dimensional nanosheet array bifunctional catalyst was fabricated through a strategy under mild experimental conditions. The obtained CoRu0.06-MOF/NF exhibited excellent bifunctional electrocatalytic activity and stability in alkaline media, with low overpotentials of 37 and 181 mV and significant durability for more than 95 and 110 h toward the HER and OER at 10 mA cm-2, respectively. The experimental results showed that the two-dimensional nanoarray structure had a large specific surface area and abundant exposed active sites. Additionally, ultralow Ru modification optimized the electronic structure and improved the conductivity of the cobalt metal-organic frameworks, thereby reducing the energy barrier of the rate-limiting step and accelerating the water splitting reaction.

Abstract
The quest for efficient non-Pt/Pd catalysts has proved to be a formidable challenge for auto-exhaust purification. Herein, we present an approach to construct a robust catalyst by embedding single-atom Ru sites onto the surface of CeO2 through a gas bubbling-assisted membrane deposition method. The formed single-atom Ru sites, which occupy surface lattice sites of CeO2, can improve activation efficiency for NO and O2. Remarkably, the Ru1/CeO2 catalyst exhibits exceptional catalytic performance and stability during auto-exhaust carbon particle oxidation (soot), rivaling commercial Pt-based catalysts. The turnover frequency (0.218 h-1) is a nine-fold increase relative to the Ru nanoparticle catalyst. We further show that the strong interfacial charge transfer within the atomically dispersed Ru active site greatly enhances the rate-determining step of NO oxidation, resulting in a substantial reduction of the apparent activation energy during soot oxidation. The single-atom Ru catalyst represents a step toward reducing dependence on Pt/Pd-based catalysts.

Environment-friendly organic coordination design of Z-scheme heterojunction N-BOB/BiOIO 3 for efficient LED-light-driven photocatalytic and electrochemical performance. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 341:140101. [PMID: 37690557 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
As the climate seriously changes, ecofriendly nanomaterials have attracted tremendous interest in renewable energy as photocatalysis. Herein, we designed a new green bismuth-based Z-scheme Bi2O22+ slabs coordinate with 2-aminoterephthalic acid (N-BOB)/BiOIO3 through a simple anion exchange and postsynthetic hydrothermal reaction. FTIR, XRD, FESEM and TEM were employed to characterize the functional groups, structure, and morphologies. UV-DRS revealed the difference in band energy of the N-BOB and N-BOB/BiOIO3. Toward Rh B, TC and CIP degradation tests, 1-N-BOB/BiOIO3 manifests the best photocatalytic degradation (52.3%, 63.6% and 30.2%) efficiency. Also, 1-N-BOB/BiOIO3 possesses high durability in photocatalytic reactions and can inhibit 32.3% of bacterial growth. The results indicate that the synergistic effect between surface amine groups and Z-scheme heterojunction harvests light absorption to increase solar-to-energy (STE) efficiency, accelerate the charge separation, and increases the active sites with high photoredox potential, thus improving the photocatalytic performance. ROS scavenging tests further elucidated that photogenerated holes and hydroxyl radicals play a critical role. In addition, the surface amine groups and benzene rings can be utilized for supercapacitors and other multidisciplinary applications. 0.5 N-BOB/BiOIO3/GO impressively showed 5 times higher specific capacitance than pure GO electrode. We hope this work provides new sight into designing green nanomaterials to relieve environmental pollution and leave behind a clean future for the next generation.

Abstract
Efficient electrocatalysts are crucial for hydrogen generation from electrolyzing water. Nevertheless, the conventional "trial and error" method for producing advanced electrocatalysts is not only cost-ineffective but also time-consuming and labor-intensive. Fortunately, the advancement of machine learning brings new opportunities for electrocatalysts discovery and design. By analyzing experimental and theoretical data, machine learning can effectively predict their hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance. This review summarizes recent developments in machine learning for low-dimensional electrocatalysts, including zero-dimension nanoparticles and nanoclusters, one-dimensional nanotubes and nanowires, two-dimensional nanosheets, as well as other electrocatalysts. In particular, the effects of descriptors and algorithms on screening low-dimensional electrocatalysts and investigating their HER performance are highlighted. Finally, the future directions and perspectives for machine learning in electrocatalysis are discussed, emphasizing the potential for machine learning to accelerate electrocatalyst discovery, optimize their performance, and provide new insights into electrocatalytic mechanisms. Overall, this work offers an in-depth understanding of the current state of machine learning in electrocatalysis and its potential for future research.

Abstract
Combining multiple species working in tandem for different hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) steps is an effective strategy to design HER electrocatalysts. Here, we engineered a hierarchical electrode for the HER composed of amorphous-TiO2/Cu nanorods (NRs) decorated with cost-effective Ru-Cu nanoheterostructures (Ru mass loading = 52 μg/cm2). Such an electrode exhibits a stable, over 250 h, low overpotential of 74 mV at -200 mA/cm2 for the HER in 1 M NaOH. The high activity of the electrode is attributed, by structural analysis, operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and first-principles simulations, to synergistic functionalities: (1) mechanically robust, vertically aligned Cu NRs with high electrical conductivity and porosity provide fast charge and gas transfer channels; (2) the Ru electronic structure, regulated by the size of Cu clusters at the surface, facilitates the water dissociation (Volmer step); (3) the Cu clusters grown atop Ru exhibit a close-to-zero Gibbs free energy of the hydrogen adsorption, promoting fast Heyrovsky/Tafel steps. An alkaline electrolyzer (AEL) coupling the proposed cathode and a stainless-steel anode can stably operate in both continuous (1 A/cm2 for over 200 h) and intermittent modes (accelerated stress tests). A techno-economic analysis predicts the minimal overall hydrogen production cost of US$2.12/kg in a 1 MW AEL plant of 30 year lifetime based on our AEL single cell, hitting the worldwide targets (US$2-2.5/kgH2).

Abstract
Electrocatalysts play a critical role in oxygen electrocatalysis, enabling great improvements for the future development and application of metal-air batteries. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising catalysts for oxygen electrocatalysis since they are endowed with the merits of a distinctive electronic structure, a low-coordination environment, quantum size effect, and strong metal-support interaction. In addition, MOFs afford a desirable molecular platform for ensuring the synthesis of well-dispersed SACs, endowing them with remarkably high catalytic activity and durability. In this review, we focus on the current status of MOF-derived SACs used as catalysts for oxygen electrocatalysis, with special attention to MOF-derived strategies for the fabrication of SACs and their application in various metal-air batteries. Finally, to facilitate the future deployment of high-performing SACs, some technical challenges and the corresponding research directions are also proposed.

Abstract
The electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) effectively produces clean, renewable, and sustainable hydrogen; however, the development of efficient electrocatalysts is required to reduce the high energy barrier of the HER. Herein, we report two excellent single-atom (SA)/metal-organic framework (MOF) composite electrocatalysts (PtSA-MIL100(Fe) and PtSA-MIL101(Cr)) for HER. The obtained PtSA-MIL100(Fe) and PtSA-MIL101(Cr) electrocatalysts exhibit overpotentials of 60 and 61 mV at 10 mA cm-2, respectively, which are close to that of commercial Pt/C (38 mV); they exhibit overpotentials of 310 and 288 mV at 200 mA cm-2, respectively, which are comparable to that of commercial Pt/C (270 mV). Theoretical simulations reveal that Pt SAs modulate the electronic structures of the MOFs, leading to the optimization of the binding strength for H* and significant enhancement of the HER activity. This study describes a novel strategy for preparing desirable HER electrocatalysts based on the synergy between SAs and MIL-series MOFs. Using MIL-series MOFs to support SAs could be valuable for future catalyst design.

Abstract
While breathing, alveoli are exposed to external irritants, which contribute to the pathogenesis of lung disease. Therefore, in situ monitoring of alveolar responses to stimuli of toxicants under in vivo environments is important to understand lung disease. For this purpose, 3D cell cultures are recently employed for examining cellular responses of pulmonary systems exposed to irritants; however, most of them have used ex situ assays requiring cell lysis and fluorescent labeling. Here, an alveoli-like multifunctional scaffold is demonstrated for optical and electrochemical monitoring of cellular responses of pneumocytes. Porous foam with dimensions like the alveoli structure is used as a backbone for the scaffold, wherein electroactive metal-organic framework crystals, optically active gold nanoparticles, and biocompatible hyaluronic acid are integrated. The fabricated multifunctional scaffold allows for label-free detection and real-time monitoring of oxidative stress released in pneumocytes under toxic-conditions via redox-active amperometry and nanospectroscopy. Moreover, cellular behavior can be statistically classified based on fingerprint Raman signals collected from the cells on the scaffold. The developed scaffold is expected to serve as a promising platform to investigate cellular responses and disease pathogenesis, owing to its versatility in monitoring electrical and optical signals from cells in situ in the 3D microenvironments.
