Abstract
The development of effective solid acid-base bifunctional catalysts remains a challenge because of the difficulty associated with designing and controlling their active sites. In the present study, highly pure perovskite oxide nanoparticles with d0-transition-metal cations such as Ti4+, Zr4+, and Nb5+ as B-site elements were successfully synthesized by a sol-gel method using dicarboxylic acids. Moreover, the specific surface area of SrTiO3 was increased to 46 m2 g-1 by a simple procedure of changing the atmosphere from N2 to air during calcination of an amorphous precursor. The resultant SrTiO3 nanoparticles showed the highest catalytic activity for the cyanosilylation of acetophenone with trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) among the tested catalysts not subjected to a thermal pretreatment. Various aromatic and aliphatic carbonyl compounds were efficiently converted to the corresponding cyanohydrin silyl ethers in good-to-excellent yields. The present system was applicable to a larger-scale reaction of acetophenone with TMSCN (10 mmol scale), in which 2.06 g of the analytically pure corresponding product was isolated. In this case, the reaction rate was 8.4 mmol g-1 min-1, which is the highest rate among those reported for heterogeneous catalyst systems that do not involve a pretreatment. Mechanistic studies, including studies of the catalyst effect, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and temperature-programmed desorption measurements using probe molecules such as pyridine, acetophenone, CO2, and CHCl3, and the poisoning effect of pyridine and acetic acid toward the cyanosilylation, revealed that moderate-strength acid and base sites present in moderate amounts on SrTiO3 most likely enable SrTiO3 to act as a bifunctional acid-base solid catalyst through cooperative activation of carbonyl compounds and TMSCN. This bifunctional catalysis through SrTiO3 resulted in high catalytic performance even without a heat pretreatment, in sharp contrast to the performance of basic MgO and acidic TiO2 catalysts.

Abstract
A significant issue that bedeviled the commercialization of renewable energy technologies, ranging from low-temperature water electrolyzers to high-temperature solid oxide cells, is the lack of high-performance catalysts. Among various candidates that could tackle such a challenge, perovskite oxides are rising-star materials because of their unique structural and compositional flexibility. However, single-phase perovskite oxides are challenging to satisfy all the requirements of electrocatalysts concurrently for practical applications, such as high catalytic activity, excellent stability, good ionic and electronic conductivities, and superior chemical/thermo-mechanical robustness. Impressively, perovskite oxides with coupled nanocomposites are emerging as a novel form offering multifunctionality due to their intrinsic features, including infinite interfaces with solid interaction, tunable compositions, flexible configurations, and maximum synergistic effects between assorted components. Considering this new configuration has attracted great attention owing to its promising performances in various energy-related applications, this review timely summarizes the leading-edge development of perovskite oxide-based coupled nanocomposites. Their state-of-art synthetic strategies are surveyed and highlighted, their unique structural advantages are highlighted and illustrated through the typical oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reactions in both high and low-temperature applications. Opinions on the current critical scientific issues and opportunities in this burgeoning research field are all provided.

Abstract
Perovskite oxides are studied as electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reactions (OER) because of their low cost, tunable structure, high stability, and good catalytic activity. However, there are two main challenges for most perovskite oxides to be efficient in OER, namely less active sites and low electrical conductivity, leading to limited catalytic performance. To overcome these intrinsic obstacles, various strategies are developed to enhance their catalytic activities in OER. In this review, the recent developments of these strategies is comprehensively summarized and systematically discussed, including composition engineering, crystal facet control, morphology modulation, defect engineering, and hybridization. Finally, perspectives on the design of perovskite oxide-based electrocatalysts for practical applications in OER are given.

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
Low-cost and efficient electrocatalysts with high dispersion of active sites and high conductivity are of high importance for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we use amorphous mesoporous fumed silica (MFS) as a skeleton material to disperse Ni2+ and Fe3+ through a simple impregnation strategy. The MFS is in situ etched away during the OER process in 1 M KOH to prepare a stable mesoporous Ni–Fe electrocatalyst. The high specific surface area and abundant surface silanol groups in the mesoporous fumed silica afford rich anchor sites for fixing metal atoms via strong chemical metal–oxygen interactions. Raman and XPS investigations reveal that Ni2+ formed covalent bonds with surface Si–OH groups, and Fe3+ inserted into the framework of fumed silica forming Fe–O–Si bonds. The mesoporous Ni–Fe catalysts offer high charge transfer abilities in the OER process. When loaded on nickel foam, the optimal 2Ni1Fe-MFS catalyst exhibits an overpotential of 270 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and a Tafel slope of 41 mV dec−1. Notably, 2Ni1Fe-MFS shows a turnover frequency value of 0.155 s−1 at an overpotential of 300 mV, which is 80 and 190 times higher than that of the state-of-the-art IrO2 and RuO2 catalysts. Furthermore, 2Ni1Fe-MFS exhibits 100% faradaic efficiency, large electrochemically active surface area, and good long-term durability, confirming its outstanding OER performance. Such high OER efficiency can be ascribed to the synergistic effect of high surface area, dense metal active sites and interfacial conductive path. This work provides a promising strategy to develop simple, cost-effective, and highly efficient porous Ni–Fe based catalysts for OER. A stable mesoporous Ni–Fe–O electrocatalyst with high OER efficiency is constructed using mesoporous fumed silica as a template.![]()
