Abstract
Solvent-free mechanochemical synthesis of efficient and low-cost double perovskite (DP), like a cage of Prussian blue (PB) and PB analogs (PBAs), is a promising approach for different applications such as chemical sensing, energy storage, and conversion. Although the solvent-free mechanochemical grinding approach has been extensively used to create halide-based perovskites, no such reports have been made for cyanide-based double perovskites. Herein, an innovative solvent-free mechanochemical synthetic strategy is demonstrated for synthesizing Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3, Co3[Fe(CN)6]2, and Ni2[Fe(CN)6], where defect sites such as carbon-nitrogen vacancies are inherently introduced during the synthesis. Among all the synthesized PB analogs, the Ni analog manifests a considerable electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with a low overpotential of 288 mV to obtain the current benchmark density of 20 mA cm-2. We hypothesize that incorporating defects, such as carbon-nitrogen vacancies, and synergistic effects contribute to high catalytic activity. Our findings pave the way for an easy and inexpensive large-scale production of earth-abundant non-toxic electrocatalysts with vacancy-mediated defects for oxygen evolution reaction.

Abstract
High energy resource demand has led to the rapid development of hydrogen as a clean fuel through electrolytic water splitting. The exploration of high-performance and cost-effective electrocatalysts for water splitting is a challenging task to obtain renewable and clean energy. However, the sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) greatly hindered its application. Herein, a novel oxygen plasma-treated graphene quantum dots embedded Ni-Fe Prussian blue analogue (O-GQD-NiFe PBA) is proposed as a highly active electrocatalysts for OER. Furthermore, the defect induced by GQD can provide an abundant lattice mismatch in the matrix of NiFe PBA, which further facilitates faster electron transport and kinetic performance. After optimization, the as-assembled O-GQD-NiFe PBA exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performance towards OER with a low overpotential of 259 mV for reaching a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and impressive long-term stability for 100 h in an alkaline solution. This work broadens the scope of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) and high-functioning carbon composite as an active material for energy conversion systems.

Abstract
![]()
The
elucidation of the ideal coordination environment
of a catalytic site has been at the heart of catalytic
applications. Herein, we show that the water oxidation
activities of catalytic cobalt sites in a Prussian blue
(PB) structure could be tuned systematically by
decorating its coordination sphere with a combination of cyanide
and bidentate pyridyl groups. K0.1[Co(bpy)]2.9[Fe(CN)6]2 ([Cobpy–Fe]), K0.2[Co(phen)]2.8[Fe(CN)6]2 ([Cophen–Fe]), {[Co(bpy)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2}[Fe(CN)6]1/3 ([Cobpy2–Fe]), and {[Co(phen)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2}[Fe(CN)6]1/3 Cl0.11 ([Cophen2–Fe]) were prepared by introducing bidentate pyridyl groups (phen:
1,10-phenanthroline, bpy: 2,2′-bipyridine) to the common synthetic
protocol of Co–Fe Prussian blue analogues. Characterization
studies indicate that [Cobpy2–Fe] and [Cophen2–Fe] adopt a pentanuclear molecular structure, while [Cobpy–Fe] and [Cophen–Fe] could be described as cyanide-based
coordination polymers with lower-dimensionality and less crystalline
nature compared to the regular Co–Fe Prussian blue analogue
(PBA), K0.1Co2.9[Fe(CN)6]2 ([Co–Fe]). Photocatalytic studies reveal that
the activities of [Cobpy–Fe] and [Cophen–Fe] are significantly enhanced compared to those of [Co–Fe], while molecular [Cobpy2–Fe] and [Cophen2–Fe] are inactive toward water oxidation. [Cobpy–Fe] and [Cophen–Fe] exhibit upper-bound turnover
frequencies (TOFs) of 1.3 and 0.7 s–1, respectively,
which are ∼50 times higher than that of [Co–Fe] (1.8 × 10–2 s–1). The complete
inactivity of [Cobpy2–Fe] and [Cophen2–Fe] confirms the critical role of aqua coordination to the catalytic
cobalt sites for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Computational
studies show that bidentate pyridyl groups enhance the susceptibility
of the rate-determining Co(IV)-oxo species to the nucleophilic water
attack during the critical O–O bond formation. This study opens
a new route toward increasing the intrinsic water oxidation activity
of the catalytic sites in PB coordination polymers. Bidentate pyridyl groups are coordinated
to the catalytic
cobalt sites in a cyanide-based Co−Fe structure to afford well-tuned
extended network structures, which exhibit an outstanding photocatalytic
performance compared to the regular Co−Fe PBA.

Abstract
Hydrogen is increasingly viewed as a game-changer in the clean energy sector. Renewable hydrogen production from water is industrialized by integrating water electrolysis and renewable electricity, but the current cost of water-born hydrogen remains high though. An ideal scenario would be to produce value-added chemicals along with hydrogen so the cost can be partially offset. Herein, facilitated bio-hydrogen extraction and biomass-derived chemical formation from sugar-derived 5-hydroxymethyfurfural (HMF) were achieved via the in-situ transformation of cobalt-bound electrocatalysts. The cyanide-bound cobalt hydroxide exhibited a low voltage at 1.55 V at 10 mA cm-2 for bio-hydrogen production, compared with an iridium catalyst (1.75 V). The interaction between the biomass intermediate and the cyanide ligand is suggested to be responsible for the improved activity.

Abstract
The fast development of portable water-splitting devices has led to a great deal of work on rechargeable metal-air batteries or solar cells; however, the lack of affordable multifunctional electrocatalysts still hampers their widespread applications. Herein, a well-aligned ternary metal (oxy)hydroxide nanostructure is a sacrificial pseudomorphic transformation template of an integrated metal-organic network on the carbon cloth (CC) surface, that is, the Fe-doped metal-organic framework (MOF) ZnNiCoSe@CC nanosheet network, exhibiting powerful and efficient multifunctional electrocatalysts such as the oxygen reduction reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, and hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline media combined with desirable electrode kinetics. As a proof-of-concept observational study, the nanostructured Fe-doped MOF ZnNiCoSe@CC could be used as air-cathode materials in the rechargeable metal-air battery. The fabricated device delivered higher open-circuit voltage, higher capacity, and peak power density, excellent discharge-charge performance, and long cycle life. Thus, our research creates a unique perspective on the development of highly portable air electrodes with a favorable electrocatalytic application of overall water-splitting reaction.

Abstract
Li-ion storage devices having superior energy density are critical for one-time-charge long-term applications. Currently, much research endeavor is directed at enhancing the energy density of hybrid Li-ion capacitors, which incorporate the high energy of conventional Li-ion batteries with the elevated power density of Li-ion supercapacitors. Herein, we prepare orthorhombic GdCo(CN)6 as a new Prussian blue analogue (PBA), showing that this compound offers excellent energy/power densities (605 W·h kg-1 and 174 W kg-1, respectively) and features Li-ion storage capacities (352 and 258 mA·h gelectrode-1 at 100 and 1000 mA g-1, respectively) that are almost twice higher than those of other cathode materials utilized in hybrid Li-ion capacitors. Thus, this study not only opens a new path for the exploration of new-type PBAs, but also provides insights on the use of lanthanides in energy storage applications.

Abstract
Highly efficient earth-abundant electrocatalysts for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are of great importance for renewable energy conversion systems. Herein, hollow porous heterometallic phosphide nanocubes are developed as a highly active and robust catalyst for electrochemical water splitting via one-step phosphidation of a NiCoFe Prussian blue analogue. Through modulation of the composition of metals in the precursors, the optimal NiCoFeP exhibiting increased electrical conductivity and abundant electrochemically active sites, leading to high electrocatalytic activities and outstanding kinetics for both HER and OER, is successfully obtained. NiCoFeP shows low overpotentials of 273 mV for OER and 131 mV for HER at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and quite low Tafel slopes of 35 mV dec-1 for OER and 56 mV dec-1 for HER.

Abstract
Exploring nonprecious metal electrocatalysts to replace the noble metal-based catalysts for full water electrocatalysis is still an ongoing challenge. In this work, porous structured ternary nickel-iron-phosphide (Ni-Fe-P) nanocubes were synthesized through one-step phosphidation of a Ni-Fe-based Prussian blue analogue. The Ni-Fe-P nanocubes exhibit a rough and loose porous structure on their surface under suitable phosphating temperature, which is favorable for the mass transfer and oxygen diffusion during the electrocatalysis process. As a result, Ni-Fe-P obtained at 350 °C with poorer crystallinity offers more unsaturated atoms as active sites to expedite the absorption of reactants. Additionally, the introduction of nickel improved the electronic structure and then reduced the charge-transfer resistance, which would result in a faster electron transport and an enhancement of the intrinsic electrocatalytic activities. Benefiting from the unique porous nanocubes and the chemical composition, the Ni-Fe-P nanocubes exhibit excellent hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction activities in alkaline medium, with low overpotentials of 182 and 271 mV for delivering a current density of 10 mA cm-2, respectively. Moreover, the Ni-Fe-P nanocubes show outstanding stability for sustained water splitting in the two-electrode alkaline electrolyzer. This work not only provides a facile approach for designing bifunctional electrocatalysts but also further extends the application of metal-organic frameworks in overall water splitting.
