Abstract
The design strategy of designing effective local electronic structures of active sites to improve the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance is the key to the success of sustainable alkaline water electrolysis processes. Herein, a series of manganese-doped nickel molybdate porous nanosheets with rich oxygen vacancies on the nickel foam (Mn-NiMoO4/NF PNSs) synthesized by the facile hydrothermal and following annealing routes are used as high-efficiency and robust catalysts towards OER. By virtue of unique nanosheets architectures, more exposed active site, rich oxygen vacancies, tailored electronic structures, and improved electrical conductivity induced by Mn incorporation, as predicted, the optimized Mn0.10-NiMoO4/NF PNSs catalyst exhibits superior the OER performance with a low overpotential of 211 mV at 10 mA‧cm-2, a small Tafel slope of 41.7 mV‧dec-1, and an excellent stability for 100 h operated at 100 mA‧cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH electrolyte. The in-situ Raman measurements reveal the surface dynamic reconstruction. Besides, the results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations unveil the reaction mechanism. This study provides an effective design strategy via Mn incorporation to synergistically engineer electronic structures and oxygen vacancies of metal oxides for efficiently boosting the OER performance.

Abstract
Developing electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices (e.g., water splitting, regenerative fuel cells and rechargeable metal-air batteries) driven by intermittent renewable energy sources holds a great potential to facilitate global energy transition and alleviate the associated environmental issues. However, the involved kinetically sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) severely limits the entire reaction efficiency, thus designing high-performance materials toward efficient OER is of prime significance to remove this obstacle. Among various materials, cost-effective perovskite oxides have drawn particular attention due to their desirable catalytic activity, excellent stability and large reserves. To date, substantial efforts have been dedicated with varying degrees of success to promoting OER on perovskite oxides, which have generated multiple reviews from various perspectives, e.g., electronic structure modulation and heteroatom doping and various applications. Nonetheless, the reviews that comprehensively and systematically focus on the latest intellectual design strategies of perovskite oxides toward efficient OER are quite limited. To bridge the gap, this review thus emphatically concentrates on this very topic with broader coverages, more comparative discussions and deeper insights into the synthetic modulation, doping, surface engineering, structure mutation and hybrids. More specifically, this review elucidates, in details, the underlying causality between the being-tuned physiochemical properties [e.g., electronic structure, metal-oxygen (M-O) bonding configuration, adsorption capacity of oxygenated species and electrical conductivity] of the intellectually designed perovskite oxides and the resulting OER performances, coupled with perspectives and potential challenges on future research. It is our sincere hope for this review to provide the scientific community with more insights for developing advanced perovskite oxides with high OER catalytic efficiency and further stimulate more exciting applications.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 654:688-697.

Abstract
In this work, we have hypothesized that noble metal-free perovskites are an essential class of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts in an alkaline medium and thus, they are a suitable candidate for the assisted water oxidation catalysts. Herein, we demonstrate that the origin of the methanol-assisted OER activity at near thermodynamic potential on perovskite electrode arises due to the involvement of additional hydroxyls as a result of dissociative chemisorption of methanol. When the perovskite electrode is screened for methanol electrooxidation reaction in 0.5 M KOH + 0.5 M methanol electrolyte, it delivers a two times higher current density. This imparts an 82 % increase in the evolution of oxygen gas moles with complete oxidation of methanol to carbon dioxide. Along with the electrochemical characterization to understand the electrocatalyst property, Rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE) technique is explored for the first time in literature to validate the catalyst's involvement during OER. RRDE is effective in understanding the lattice oxygen behaviour and methanol-assisted water electrooxidation during OER. Our results suggest new insights and ideas towards the oxygen evolution reaction process and the mechanistic insight into the elevated OER due to assisted methanol electrooxidation.

Abstract
By substituting the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with the anodic urea oxidation reaction (UOR), it not only reduces energy consumption for green hydrogen generation but also allows purification of urea-rich wastewater. Spin engineering of the d orbital and oxygen-containing adsorbates has been recognized as an effective pathway for enhancing the performance of electrocatalysts. In this work, we report the fabrication of a bifunctional electrocatalyst composed of amorphous RuO2-coated NiO ultrathin nanosheets (a-RuO2/NiO) with abundant amorphous/crystalline interfaces for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and UOR. Impressively, only 1.372 V of voltage is required to attain a current density of 10 mA cm-2 over a urea electrolyzer. The increased oxygen vacancies in a-RuO2/NiO by incorporation of amorphous RuO2 enhance the total magnetization and entail numerous spin-polarized electrons during the reaction, which speeds up the UOR reaction kinetics. The density functional theory study reveals that the amorphous/crystalline interfaces promote charge-carrier transfer, and the tailored d-band center endows the optimized adsorption of oxygen-generated intermediates. This kind of oxygen vacancy induced spin-polarized electrons toward boosting HER and UOR kinetics and provides a reliable reference for exploration of advanced electrocatalysts.

Electrochemical Investigations of Double Perovskite M 2NiMnO 6 (Where M = Eu, Gd, Tb) for High-Performance Oxygen Evolution Reaction. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:3076.

Abstract
Double perovskites are known for their special structures which can be utilized as catalyst electrode materials for electrochemical water splitting to generate carbon-neutral hydrogen energy. In this work, we prepared lanthanide series metal-doped double perovskites at the M site such as M2NiMnO6 (where M = Eu, Gd, Tb) using the solid-state reaction method, and they were investigated for an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) study in an alkaline medium. It is revealed that the catalyst with a configuration of Tb2NiMnO6 has outstanding OER properties such as a low overpotential of 288 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mAcm-2, a lower Tafel slope of 38.76 mVdec-1, and a long cycling stability over 100 h of continuous operation. A-site doping causes an alteration in the oxidation or valence states of the NiMn cations, their porosity, and the oxygen vacancies. This is evidenced in terms of the Mn4+/Mn3+ ratio modifying electronic properties and the surface which facilitates the OER properties of the catalyst. This is discussed using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical surface area (ECSA) of the catalysts. The proposed work is promising for the synthesis and utilization of future catalyst electrodes for high-performance electrochemical water splitting.

Abstract
This perspective paper comprehensively explores recent electrochemical studies on layered transition metal oxides (LTMO) in aqueous media and specifically encompasses two topics: catalysis of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and cathodes of aqueous lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). They involve conflicting requirements; OER catalysts aim to facilitate water dissociation, while for cathodes in aqueous LiBs it is essential to suppress water dissociation. The interfacial reactions taking place at the LTMO in these two distinct systems are of particular significance. We show various strategies for designing LTMO materials for each desired aim based on an in-depth understanding of electrochemical interfacial reactions. This paper sheds light on how regulating the LTMO interface can contribute to efficient water splitting and economical energy storage, all with a single material.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with special morphologies provide the geometric morphology and composition basis for the construction of platforms with excellent catalytic activity. In this work, cobalt-cerium composite oxide hollow dodecahedrons (Co/Cex-COHDs) with controllable morphology and tunable composition are successfully prepared via a high-temperature pyrolysis strategy using Co/Ce-MOFs as self-sacrificial templates. The construction of the hollow structure can expose a larger surface area to provide abundant active sites and pores to facilitate the diffusion of substances. The formation and optimization of phase interface between Co3O4 and CeO2 regulate the electronic structure of the catalytic site and form a fast channel favorable to electron transport, thereby enhancing the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution activity. Based on the above advantages, the optimized Co/Ce0.2-COHDs obtained an enhanced oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been investigated with regard to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to their structure diversity, high specific surface area, adjustable pore size, and abundant active sites. However, the poor conductivity of most MOFs restricts this application. Herein, through a facile one-step solvothermal method, the Ni-based pillared metal-organic framework [Ni2(BDC)2DABCO] (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, DABCO = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane), its bimetallic nickel-iron form [Ni(Fe)(BDC)2DABCO], and their modified Ketjenblack (mKB) composites were synthesized and tested toward OER in an alkaline medium (KOH 1 mol L-1). A synergistic effect of the bimetallic nickel-iron MOF and the conductive mKB additive enhanced the catalytic activity of the MOF/mKB composites. All MOF/mKB composite samples (7, 14, 22, and 34 wt.% mKB) indicated much higher OER performances than the MOFs and mKB alone. The Ni-MOF/mKB14 composite (14 wt.% of mKB) demonstrated an overpotential of 294 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 32 mV dec-1, which is comparable with commercial RuO2, commonly used as a benchmark material for OER. The catalytic performance of Ni(Fe)MOF/mKB14 (0.57 wt.% Fe) was further improved to an overpotential of 279 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The low Tafel slope of 25 mV dec-1 as well as a low reaction resistance due to the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement confirmed the excellent OER performance of the Ni(Fe)MOF/mKB14 composite. For practical applications, the Ni(Fe)MOF/mKB14 electrocatalyst was impregnated into commercial nickel foam (NF), where overpotentials of 247 and 291 mV at current densities of 10 and 50 mA cm-2, respectively, were realized. The activity was maintained for 30 h at the applied current density of 50 mA cm-2. More importantly, this work adds to the fundamental understanding of the in situ transformation of Ni(Fe)DMOF into OER-active α/β-Ni(OH)2, β/γ-NiOOH, and FeOOH with residual porosity inherited from the MOF structure, as seen by powder X-ray diffractometry and N2 sorption analysis. Benefitting from the porosity structure of the MOF precursor, the nickel-iron catalysts outperformed the solely Ni-based catalysts due to their synergistic effects and exhibited superior catalytic activity and long-term stability in OER. In addition, by introducing mKB as a conductive carbon additive in the MOF structure, a homogeneous conductive network was constructed to improve the electronic conductivity of the MOF/mKB composites. The electrocatalytic system consisting of earth-abundant Ni and Fe metals only is attractive for the development of efficient, practical, and economical energy conversion materials for efficient OER activity.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic water splitting, as a sustainable, pollution-free and convenient method of hydrogen production, has attracted the attention of researchers. However, due to the high reaction barrier and slow four-electron transfer process, it is necessary to develop and design efficient electrocatalysts to promote electron transfer and improve reaction kinetics. Tungsten oxide-based nanomaterials have received extensive attention due to their great potential in energy-related and environmental catalysis. To maximize the catalytic efficiency of catalysts in practical applications, it is essential to further understand the structure-property relationship of tungsten oxide-based nanomaterials by controlling the surface/interface structure. In this review, recent methods to enhance the catalytic activities of tungsten oxide-based nanomaterials are reviewed, which are classified into four strategies: morphology regulation, phase control, defect engineering, and heterostructure construction. The structure-property relationship of tungsten oxide-based nanomaterials affected by various strategies is discussed with examples. Finally, the development prospects and challenges in tungsten oxide-based nanomaterials are discussed in the conclusion. We believe that this review provides guidance for researchers to develop more promising electrocatalysts for water splitting.

Abstract
Development of efficient electrocatalysts for water splitting can be a significant step toward green hydrogen generation. In this work, a remarkable enhancement of electrocatalytic properties is achieved through the incorporation of oxygen-vacancies in a perovskite oxide, while maintaining the same structural framework. The oxygen-deficient material La2MnCoO6-δ (LaMn0.5Co0.5O3-δ) is isostructural to the parent stoichiometric material, but shows drastically enhanced electrocatalytic properties for both half-reactions of water-splitting, namely hydrogen-evolution and oxygen-evolution reactions, due to the oxygen-vacancies.

Doping rare earth cations with an additional chemical reduction synergistically weakened the photocatalytic performance of ceria. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:51356-51367.

Abstract
Chemical reducing or rare earth cations (RE) doping was normally employed to promote the photocatalytic performance of ceria, aimed to evaluate their cooperation influences, ceria was obtained by decomposing homogenously RE (RE = La, Sm, and Y)-doped CeCO3OH in H2. XPS and EPR results evidenced that the excess oxygen vacancies (OVs) were formed in RE-doped CeO2 compared to the un-doped ceria. However, all the RE-doped ceria unexpectedly showed an impeded photocatalytic activity towards to methylene blue (MB) photodegradation. The 5% Sm-doped ceria had the best MB photodegradation ratio of 81.47% after 2-h reaction in all RE-doped samples, which was lower than that of 87.24% for the un-doped ceria. After doping RE cations and chemical reducing, the band gap of ceria were almost narrowed, while the PL spectra and photo-electro characterizations indicated that the separation efficiency of photo-excited e-/h+ (electrons/holes) was reduced. The RE dopants and formed excess OVs including inner and surface OVs was proposed to promote the recombination of e-/h+ which further hindered the generation of active species of ·O2- and ·OH, and finally weakened the photocatalytic activity of ceria.

Abstract
Developing efficient and stable transition metal oxides catalysts for energy conversion processes such as oxygen evolution reaction and oxygen reduction reaction is one of the key measures to solve the problem of energy shortage. The spin state of transition metal oxides is strongly correlated with their catalytic activities. In an octahedral structure of transition metal oxides, the spin state of active centers could be regulated by adjusting the splitting energy and the electron pairing energy. Regulating spin state of active centers could directly modulate the d orbitals occupancy, which influence the strength of metal-ligand bonds and the adsorption behavior of the intermediates. In this review, we clarified the significance of regulating spin state of the active centers. Subsequently, we discussed several characterization technologies for spin state and some recent strategies to regulate the spin state of the active centers. Finally, we put forward some views on the future research direction of this vital field.

Abstract
There has been a growing interest in water oxidation in recent two decades. Along with that, remarkable discovery of formation of a mysterious catalyst layer upon application of an anodic potential of 1.13 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) to an inert indium tin oxide electrode immersed in phosphate buffer containing Co(II) ions by Nocera et.al, has greatly attracted researchers interest. These researches have oriented in two directions; one focuses on obtaining better understanding of the reported mysterious catalyst layer, further modification, and improved performance, and the second approach is about designing coordination complexes of cobalt and investigating their properties toward the application in water splitting. Although there have been critical debates on true catalysts that are responsible for water oxidation in homogeneous systems of coordination complexes of cobalt, and the case is not totally closed, in this short review, our focus will be mainly on recent major progress and developments in the design and the application of cobalt oxide-based materials in catalytic, electrocatalytic, photocatalytic, and photoelectrocatalytic water oxidation reaction, which have been reported since pioneering report of Nocera in 2008 (Kanan Matthew and Nocera Daniel in Science 321:1072-1075, 2008).

Abstract
Nickel-iron-based layered double hydroxides (NiFe LDHs) have attracted tremendous research and industrial interests for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysis. However, methodologies on simultaneous regulation of performance-influencing factors remain scarce and their real synergistic effects are not clear enough. Herein, a versatile polyoxometallic acids (POMs) etching approach is reported to ingeniously reconstruct NiFe LDH, including 3D morphological nanotailoring, Fe3+ and α-Ni(OH)2 active species reconfiguration, creation of multiple Ni, Fe, and O vacancies, and intercalation of POM polyanionic clusters. The experimental and theoretical data collaboratively unveil that control of the key performance-influencing factors and their multiple synergistic mechanisms dominantly contribute to the step-like OER performance enhancement. The reinforced electrocatalyst is further produced with low cost and high performance up to Ф180 mm in diameter, showing its feasibility and advancement of the promising configuration of NiFe LDH-PMo12(+) II Ni@NiFe LDH(-) for alkaline anion-exchange-membrane electrode stack cells. Furthermore, to mathematically evaluate the evolution, a novel empirical formula is proposed for quantitative identification of structure-activity correlations, which offers an opportunity for first and fast reliability on materials screening.

Abstract
Here, we report that the hydrogen evolution performance of a series of electrocatalysts with positive hydrogen adsorption energy ΔGH* (Ni2P, Ag, and Cu) can be enhanced by introducing LaNi5 as a cocatalyst. The enhancement is attributed to the synergy that LaNi5 enriches the adsorption of the hydrogen intermediate while the ΔGH* > 0 component provides active sites for hydrogen formation.

Abstract
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is an important half-reaction involved in many electrochemical applications, such as water splitting and rechargeable metal-air batteries. However, the sluggish kinetics of its four-electron transfer process becomes a bottleneck to the performance enhancement. Thus, rational design of electrocatalysts for OER based on thorough understanding of mechanisms and structure-activity relationship is of vital significance. This review begins with the introduction of OER mechanisms which include conventional adsorbate evolution mechanism and lattice-oxygen-mediated mechanism. The reaction pathways and related intermediates are discussed in detail, and several descriptors which greatly assist in catalyst screen and optimization are summarized. Some important parameters suggested as measurement criteria for OER are also mentioned and discussed. Then, recent developments and breakthroughs in experimental achievements on transition metal-based OER electrocatalysts are reviewed to reveal the novel design principles. Finally, some perspectives and future directions are proposed for further catalytic performance enhancement and deeper understanding of catalyst design. It is believed that iterative improvements based on the understanding of mechanisms and fundamental design principles are essential to realize the applications of efficient transition metal-based OER electrocatalysts for electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies.

Abstract
Over the past decades, research efforts are being devoted into utilizing the biomass waste as a major source of green energy to maintain the economic, environmental, and social sustainability. Specifically, there is an emerging consensus on the significance of glycerol (an underutilised waste from biodiesel industry) as a cheap, non-toxic, and renewable source for valuable chemicals synthesis. There are numerous methods enacted to convert this glycerol waste to tartronic acid, mesoxalic acid, glyceraldehyde, dihydroxyacetone, oxalic acid and so on. Among these, the green electro-oxidation technique is one of the techniques that possesses potential for industrial application due to advantages such as non-toxicity process, fast response, and lower energy consumption. The current review covers the general understanding on commonly used techniques for alcohol (C1 & C2) conversion, with a specific insight on glycerol (C3) electro-oxidation (GOR). Since catalysts are the backbone of chemical reaction, they are responsible for the overall economy prospect of any processes. To this end, a comprehensive review on catalysts, which include noble metals, non-noble metals, and non-metals anchored over various supports are incorporated in this review. Moreover, a fundamental insight into the development of future electrocatalysts for glycerol oxidation along with products analysis is also presented.

Abstract
The role of the perovskite lattice oxygen in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is systematically studied in the PrBaCo2 O5+δ family. The reduced number of physical/chemical variables combined with in-depth characterizations such as neutron dif-fraction, O K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), magnetization and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) studies, helps investigating the complex correlation between OER activity and a single perovskite property, such as the oxygen content. Larger amount of oxygen vacancies appears to facilitate the OER, possibly contributing to the mechanism involving the oxidation of lattice oxygen, i.e., the lattice oxygen evolution reaction (LOER). Furthermore, not only the number of vacancies but also their local arrangement in the perovskite lattice influences the OER activity, with a clear drop for the more stable, ordered stoichiometry.

Abstract
The mechanochemical synthesis of nanomaterials for catalytic applications is a growing research field due to its simplicity, scalability, and eco-friendliness. Besides, it provides materials with distinct features, such as nanocrystallinity, high defect concentration, and close interaction of the components in a system, which are, in most cases, unattainable by conventional routes. Consequently, this research field has recently become highly popular, particularly for the preparation of catalytic materials for various applications, ranging from chemical production over energy conversion catalysis to environmental protection. In this Review, recent studies on mechanochemistry for the synthesis of catalytic materials are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the straightforwardness of the mechanochemical route-in contrast to more conventional synthesis-in fabricating the materials, which otherwise often require harsh conditions. Distinct material properties achieved by mechanochemistry are related to their improved catalytic performance.

Abstract
An apparent increased interest has been recently devoted towards the previously untrodden path for anionic point defect engineering of electrocatalytic surfaces. The role of vacancy engineering in improving photo- and electrocatalytic activities of transition metal oxides (TMOs) has been widely reported. In particular, oxygen vacancy modulation on electrocatalysts of cobalt-based TMOs has seen a fresh spike of research work due to the substantial improvements they have shown towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Oxygen vacancy engineering is an effective scheme to quintessentially tune the electronic structure and charge transport, generate secondary active surface phases, and modify the surface adsorption/desorption behavior of reaction intermediates during water splitting. Based on contemporary efforts for inducing oxygen vacancies in a variety of cobalt oxide types, this work addresses facile and environmentally benign synthesis strategies, characterization techniques, and detailed insight into the intrinsic mechanistic modulation of electrocatalysts. It is our foresight that appropriate utilization of the principles discussed herein will aid researchers in rationally designing novel materials that can outperform noble metal-based electrocatalysts. Ultimately, future electrocatalysis implementation for selective seawater splitting is believed to depend on regulating the surface chemistry of active and stable TMOs.

Abstract
The main technical challenge for the electrolytic production of hydrogen via water splitting lies in realizing a very stable material that effectively oxidizes water under low overpotential (η). Of all materials, metal oxides hold the greatest promise due to their inherited chemical stability in aqueous solutions; however, electrolytic effectiveness in water oxidation reactions (OERs) is limited to precious metals. In this study, we designed metal oxide/metal oxide (MO/MO) nanoparticle heterointerfaces to offer more active sites and enhance the overall performance of the OER. To demonstrate this improvement, we synthesized and characterized CeO2/Co3O4, CeO2/CuO, and CeO2/NiO nanoparticles. In these structures, onset potential and photoactivity were significantly improved relative to a single MO. A cathodic shift of onset potential as high as ~0.4 or 0.3 V was recorded for CeO2/Co3O4 relative to CeO2 or Co3O4, respectively. This improvement was further investigated using density functional theory calculations, upon which adsorption preferability and reaction free energy at the CeO2/Co3O4 heterointerface were found to play significant roles in OER enhancement.

Abstract
AbstractOxygen vacancies in complex metal oxides and specifically in perovskites are demonstrated to significantly enhance their electrocatalytic activities due to facilitating a degree of control in the material’s intrinsic properties. The reported enhancement in intrinsic OER activity of oxygen-deficient perovskites surfaces has inspired their fabrication via a myriad of schemes. Oxygen vacancies in perovskites are amongst the most favorable anionic or Schottky defects to be induced due to their low formation energies. This review discusses recent efforts for inducing oxygen vacancies in a multitude of perovskites, including facile and environmentally benign synthesis strategies, characterization techniques, and detailed insight into the intrinsic mechanistic modulation of perovskite electrocatalysts. Experimental, analytical, and computational techniques dedicated to the understanding of the improvement of OER activities upon oxygen vacancy induction are summarized in this work. The identification and utilization of intrinsic activity descriptors for the modulation of configurational structure, improvement in bulk charge transport, and favorable inflection of the electronic structure are also discussed. It is our foresight that the approaches, challenges, and prospects discussed herein will aid researchers in rationally designing highly active and stable perovskites that can outperform noble metal-based OER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
First d-block metal-based perovskite oxides (FDMPOs) have garnered significant attention in research for their utilization in the water oxidation reaction due to their low cost, earth abundance, and promising activities. Recently, FDMPOs are being applied in electrocatalysis for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and overall water splitting reaction. Numerous promising FDMPO-based water splitting electrocatalysts have been reported, along with new catalytic mechanisms. Therefore, an in-time summary of the current progress of FDMPO-based water splitting electrocatalysts is now considered imperative. However, few reviews have focused on this particular subject thus far. In this contribution, we review the most recent advances (mainly within the years 2014–2020) of FDMPO electrocatalysts for alkaline water splitting, which is widely considered to be the most promising next-generation technology for future large-scale hydrogen production. This review begins with an introduction describing the fundamentals of alkaline water electrolysis and perovskite oxides. We then carefully elaborate on the various design strategies used for the preparation of FDMPO electrocatalysts applied in the alkaline water splitting reaction, including defecting engineering, strain tuning, nanostructuring, and hybridization. Finally, we discuss the current advances of various FDMPO-based water splitting electrocatalysts, including those based on Co, Ni, Fe, Mn, and other first d-block metal-based catalysts. By conveying various methods, developments, perspectives, and challenges, this review will contribute toward the understanding and development of FDMPO electrocatalysts for alkaline water splitting.

Abstract
Perovskite-based oxides have emerged as promising oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts. The performance is closely related to the lattice, electronic, and defect structure of the oxides, which determine surface and bulk properties and consequent catalytic activity and durability. Further, interfacial interactions between phases in a nanocomposite may affect bulk transportation and surface adsorption properties in a similar manner to phase doping except without solubility limits. Herein, we report the development of a single/double perovskite nanohybrid with limited surface self-reconstruction capability as an OER electrocatalyst. Such superior performance arises from a structure that maintains high crystallinity post OER catalysis, in addition to forming an amorphous layer following the self-reconstruction of a single perovskite structure during the OER process. In situ X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy and high-resolution synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction reveal an amorphization process in the hybrid single/double perovskite oxide system that is limited in comparison to single perovskite amorphization, ensuring high catalytic activity.

Abstract
As star material, perovskites have been widely used in the fields of optics, photovoltaics, electronics, magnetics, catalysis, sensing, etc. However, some inherent shortcomings, such as low efficiency (power conversion efficiency, external quantum efficiency, etc.) and poor stability (against water, oxygen, ultraviolet light, etc.), limit their practical applications. Downsizing the materials into nanostructures and incorporating rare earth (RE) ions are effective means to improve their properties and broaden their applications. This review will systematically summarize the key points in the design, synthesis, property improvements and application expansion of RE-containing (including both RE-based and RE-doped) halide and oxide perovskite nanomaterials (PNMs). The critical factors of incorporating RE elements into different perovskite structures and the rational design of functional materials will be discussed in detail. The advantages and disadvantages of different synthesis methods for PNMs will be reviewed. This paper will also summarize some practical experiences in selecting suitable RE elements and designing multi-functional materials according to the mechanisms and principles of REs promoting the properties of perovskites. At the end of this review, we will provide an outlook on the opportunities and challenges of RE-containing PNMs in various fields.

Abstract
To gain constructive insight into the possible effect of doping on the electrocatalytic activity of materials, a catalytic framework with a discrete distribution of dopants is an appropriate model system. Such a system assures well-defined active centers, maximum atom utilization efficiency, and hence enhanced selectivity, catalytic activity, and stability. Herein, a comprehensive investigation of the electrocatalytic activity of iron-doped cobalt oxide (Fe-Co3O4) nanosheets is presented. In order to understand the contribution of dopants, a series of materials with controlled doping levels are investigated. By controlled iron inclusion into the structure of Co3O4, an apparent improvement in the oxygen evolution reaction activity which is reflected in the decrease of 160 mV in the overpotential to reach the current density of 10 mA/cm2 is manifested. Additionally, it is shown that there exists an optimum doping content above which the catalytic activity fades. Further investigation of the system with density functional calculations reveals that, along with the optimization of adsorption energy toward the reaction intermediates, substantial downshift of the Fermi level and delocalization of electron density occurs on introducing iron ions into the structure.
