Abstract
FeNi oxides/hydroxides are the best performing catalysts for oxidizing water at basic pH. Consequently, their improvement is the cornerstone to develop more efficient artificial photosynthetic systems. During the last 5 years different reports have demonstrated an enhancement of their activity by engineering their structures via: (1) modulation of the number of oxygen, iron and nickel vacancies; (2) single atoms (SAs) doping with metals such as Au, Ir, Ru and Pt; and (3) modification of their surface using organic ligands. All these strategies have led to more active and stable electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution rection (OER). In this Concept, we critically analyze these strategies using the most relevant examples.

Abstract
Regulating the structural and interfacial properties of transition metal phosphides (TMPs) by coupling carbon-based materials with large surface areas to enhance hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance presents significant progress for water splitting technology. Herein, we constructed a composite substrate of a three-dimensional porous graphene oxide matrix (3D-GO) embedded in nickel foam (NF) to grow a Co2P electrocatalyst. Well-defined gladiolus-like Co2P nanowire arrays tightly anchored on the substrate show enhanced electrochemical characteristics for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) based on the promoting roles of 3D porous reduced GO (3D-rGO) derived from 3D-GO, which promotes the dispersion of active components, improves the rate of electron transfer, and facilitates the transport of water molecules. As a result, the obtained Co2P@3D-rGO/NF electrode exhibits superior HER activity in 1.0 M KOH media, achieving overpotentials of 36.5 and 264.7 mV at current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm-2, respectively. The electrode also has a low Tafel slope of 55.5 mV dec-1, a large electrochemical surface area, and small charge-transfer resistance, further revealing its mechanism of high intrinsic activity. Moreover, the electrode exhibits excellent HER stability and durability without surface morphology and chemical state changes.

Abstract
PdCu alloy nanocatalysts supported on NiFe layered double hydroxide (PdCu-LDHs) were prepared by a green ultrasound-assisted reduction method. The cavitation effect of ultrasound made part of CO32- decompose to CO2, and NO3- and Cl- replace intercalation, which anchor the PdCu between layers. The action of ultrasound dissociated hydroxyl groups (-OH) on surface of LDHs to H· to reduce Cu2+ and Pd2+ to Cu0 and Pd0 and Cu promote the synergy between Pd alloy and LDHs. The electronic effects between Cu and Pd improved the catalytic performance for the reduction reaction of 4-NP and the stability of PdCu-LDHs. The PdCu-LDHs prepared at 400 W, 25 kHz, 1 h, can completely degrade p-nitrophenol (4-NP) within 5 min with n(4-NP)/n(Pd) = 50 and n(4-NP)/n(NaBH4) = 0.15. The TOF value is 988.20 h-1, which is 27.7 times that of Pd/C catalyst (commercial).

Abstract
NiFe-layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH)-loaded ultrafine Pd nanocatalysts (Pd/NiFe-LDHs) were prepared by a facile ultrasonic-assisted in situ reduction technology without any stabilizing agents or reducing agents. Pd/NiFe-LDHs were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, XPS, and TEM. PdNPs are uniformly dispersed on NiFe-LDHs with a particle size distribution of 0.77-2.06 nm and an average particle size of 1.43 nm. Hydroxyl groups in Fe-OH and Ni-OH were dissociated into hydrogen radicals (·H) excited by ultrasound, and ·H reduced Pd2+ to ultrafine PdNPs. Then, Pd was coordinated with O in Ni-O and Fe-O, which improved the stability of the catalysts. Pd/NiFe-LDHs completely degraded 4-NP in 5 min, and the TOF value was 597.66 h-1, which was 16.7 times that of commercial Pd/C. The 4-NP conversion rate remained at 98.75% over Pd/NiFe-LDHs after 10 consecutive catalytic cycles. In addition, the catalyst also has high catalytic activity for the reduction of Congo red, methylene blue, and methyl orange by NaBH4.

Abstract
The replacement of noble metals with alternative electrocatalysts is highly demanded for water splitting. From the exploration of 3D -transition metal based heterostructures, engineering at the nano-level brought more enhancements in active sites with reduced overpotentials for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, recent developments in 3D transition metal based heterostructures like direct growth on external substrates (Ni foam, Cu foam) gave highly impressive activities and stabilities. Research needs to be focused on how the active sites can be enhanced further with 3D heterostructures of transition metals by studying them with various counterparts like hydroxides, layered double hydroxides and phosphides for empowering both OER and HER applications. This perspective covers the way to enlarge the utilization of 3D heterostructures successfully in terms of reduced overpotentials, highly exposed active sites, increased electrical conductivity, porosity and high-rate activity. From the various approaches of growth of transition metal based 3D heterostructures, it is easy to fine tune the active sites to have a viable production of hydrogen with less applied energy input. Overall, this perspective outlines a direction to increase the number of active sites on 3D transition metal based heterostructures by growing on 3D foams for enhanced water splitting applications.

Intercalation-induced partial exfoliation of NiFe LDHs with abundant active edge sites for highly enhanced oxygen evolution reaction. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 607:1353-1361.

Abstract
Edge sites and interlayer space of NiFe layered double hydroxides (LDHs) play an important role in water oxidation. However, the combined effect of interlayer expansion and partial exfoliation on the catalytic activity is yet to be investigated. Herein, scalable synthesis of partially exfoliated citrate-intercalated NiFe LDHs with tunable interlayer space have been achieved. The effect of citrate concentration on the phase, morphology, surface elemental composition, electronic states of surface metals, and electrochemical properties are comprehensively studied. The unique structure results in improved intrinsic catalytic activity and abundant active edge sites for oxygen evolution reaction. The optimal NiFe LDHs show an overpotential of 225 mV at 10 mA cm-2, which is much smaller than that (∼305 mV) of the single-layer NiFe LDH nanosheets reported in the literature. The high catalytic activity can be mainly attributed to the combined effect between the enlarged interlayer space and the partial exfoliation/nanosheet thickness. That is, the interlayer space is related to the reaction kinetics/mechanism, while the degree of exfoliation affects the magnitude of the current density at a certain potential.

Abstract
Photocatalytic (PC) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a plethora of green technological process, which transforms copiously available photon energy into valuable chemical energy. With the augmentation of modern civilization, developmental process of novel semiconductor photocatalysts proceeded at a sweltering rate, but the overall energy conversion efficiency of semiconductor photocatalysts in PC/PEC is moderately poor owing to the instability ariseing from the photocorrosion and messy charge configuration. Particularly, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) as reassuring multifunctional photocatalysts, turned out to be intensively investigated owing to the lamellar structure and exceptional physico-chemical properties. However, major drawbacks of LDHs material are its low conductivity, sluggish mass transfer and structural instability in acidic media, which hinder their applicability and stability. To surmount these obstacles, the formation of LDH@graphene and analogus heterostructures could proficiently amalgamate multi-functionalities, compensate distinct shortcomings, and endow novel properties, which ensure effective charge separation to result in stability and superior catalytic activities. Herein, we aim to summarize the currently updated synthetic strategies used to design heterostructures of 2D LDHs with 2D/3D graphene and graphene analogus material as graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3 N4 ), and MoS2 as mediator, or interlayer support, or co-catalyst or vice versa for superior PC/PEC water splitting activities along with long-term stabilities. Furthermore, latest characterization technique measuring the stability along with variant interface mode for imparting charge separation in LDH@graphene and graphene analogus heterostructure has been identified in this field of research with understanding the intrinsic structural features and activities.
