Abstract
The sluggish redox reaction kinetics and "shuttle effect" of lithium polysulfides (LPSs) impede the advancement of high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). Transition metal phosphides exhibit distinctive polarity, metallic properties, and tunable electron configuration, thereby demonstrating enhanced adsorption and electrocatalytic capabilities towards LPSs. Consequently, they are regarded as exceptional sulfur hosts for LSBs. Moreover, the introduction of a heterogeneous structure can enhance reaction kinetics and expedite the transport of electrons/ions. In this study, a composite of hollow CoP-FeP cubes with heterostructure modified carbon nanotube (CoFeP-CNTs) was fabricated and utilized as sulfur host in advanced LSBs. The presence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) facilitates enhanced electron and Li+ transport. Meanwhile, the active sites within the heterogeneous interface of CoP-FeP suppress the "shuttle effect" and enhance the conversion kinetics of LPSs. Therefore, the CoFeP-CNTs/S electrode exhibited exceptional cycling stability and demonstrated a capacity attenuation of merely 0.051 % per cycle over 600 cycles at 1C. This study presents a highly effective tactic for synthesizing dual-acting transition metal phosphides with heterostructure, which will play a pivotal role in advancing the development of efficient LSBs.

Abstract
Designing multidimensional heterostructures on flexible substrates is an efficient approach to resolve the low energy density of supercapacitors. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) porous cobalt iron phosphide (CoFeP)@nickel vanadium-layered double hydroxide (NiV-LDH) heterostructure has been prepared anchored on carbon cloth (CC) substrate. In this nanoarchitecture, NiV-LDH nanosheets are densely wrapped on the surface of CoFeP nanosheets, which forms a hierarchically porous framework with an enlarged surface area and accessible pore channels. Benefiting from the strong interaction and synergistic effect between CoFeP and NiV-LDH, the well-defined heterostructure can realize simultaneously rich redox active sites, rapid reaction dynamics, and good structural stability. Thus, the binder-free CoFeP@NiV-LDH electrode with a high mass loading of 6.47 mg cm-2 displays a significantly increased specific capacity of 903.1C g-1 (2.35C cm-2) at 1 A g-1 and enhanced rate capability when compared to pristine CoFeP and NiV-LDH. Additionally, the assembled hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) yields an energy density of 77.9 Wh kg-1/0.98 Wh cm-2 and excellent long-term stability. This research proposes a rational route for designing heterogeneous micro-/nanoarchitectures with commercial-level mass loading for the practical application of high-energy-density supercapacitors.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have become the desirable alternatives for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) originating from abundant reserves and appropriate redox potential, while the considerable radius size of K+ leading to poor reaction kinetics and huge volume expansion limits the practical application of PIBs. Hybridization of transition-metal phosphides and carbon substrates can effectively optimize the obstacles of poor conductivity, sluggish kinetics, and huge volume variation. Thus, the peapod-like structural MxPy@BNCNTs (M = Fe, Co, and Ni) composites as anode materials for PIBs were synthesized through a facile strategy. Notably, the unique architecture of B/N codoped carbon nanotube array as fast ion/electron transfer pathways effectively improves the electronic conductivity of composites. The MxPy nanoparticles (NPs) are encapsulated in BNCNTs with an amorphous carbon layer (5-10 nm), which discernibly alleviate the volume changes during potassiation/depotassiation. In conclusion, the composites show a commendable cycling performance, possessing reversible capacities of 111, 152, and 122 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 with a negligible capacity loss for FeP@BNCNT, CoP/Co2P@BNCNT, and Ni2P@BNCNT electrodes, respectively. Especially, after 1000 cycles at 2.0 A g-1, the CoP/Co2P@BNCNT electrode still possesses a capacity of 87.9 mA h g-1, demonstrating excellent rate performance and long-term life. This work may offer an innovative and viable route to construct a stable architecture for solving the issue of poor stability of TMP-based anodes at a high current density.

Abstract
Developing highly efficient and persistent transition-metal-phosphide (TMP)-based electrocatalysts is critical for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) via water splitting in alkaline media. Herein, we constructed a unique heterostructured CoFeP/CoP grown on a nickle foam (NF) via hydrothermal and dipping methods followed by phosphorization at different temperatures for HER. The experimental results exhibit that the HER activity of CoFeP/CoP-400 is accelerated after the construction of heterostructures. The unique heterostructure provides plentiful active sites and a large surface area, which are beneficial for HER in 1.0 M KOH. CoFeP/CoP-400 displays a small overpotential of 78 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a smaller Tafel slope of 55.5 mV dec-1. Moreover, CoFeP/CoP-400 shows excellent stability with a long-term operating time of 12 h. This work provides an effective method for the construction of TMPs with heterostructures for promoting energy conversion.

Abstract
A novel approach to efficient bifunctional catalytic electrodes for water splitting is developed, based on a counterintuitive choice of an insulating hydrogel polymer (chitosan, CS)-Prussian blue analogue (PBA, KCoFe) nanocomposite thin film on nickel foam. The polymer matrix in KCoFe-CS enables the formation of framelike structures of the non-noble metal-based catalyst nanocrystals, in addition to improving their stability. An optimized cycling protocol leads to a substantial enhancement of the electrocatalytic efficiency for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) as well as hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), achieving relatively low overpotentials of 272 and 320 mV (@ 10 and 20 mA cm-2) and 146 mV (@ 10 mA cm-2), respectively, reduced Tafel slopes, and increased Faradaic efficiencies of 98 and 96%; the overpotentials estimated based on the electrochemically active surface area show similar trends. The polymer encapsulation and the cycling protocol are key to the realization of the desirable combination of enhanced efficiency and stability demonstrated up to 50 h for both OER and HER. Detailed characterizations of the postcycling catalytic electrode show that favorable morphological changes of the polymer matrix with concomitant reduction in the PBA nanocrystal size lead to the enhanced activity. The bifunctional activity of the catalytic electrode is demonstrated by the stable water splitting achieved with a 20 mA cm-2 current density at 1.55 V. The present study unravels the utility of hydrogel polymer matrices (without the use of binders like Nafion) in realizing sustainable water splitting electrocatalysts with high stability and efficiency, through the combined effect of confining the electrolyte within and favorably modifying the catalyst nanoparticles and the nanocomposite morphology.

Abstract
Ultra-fine hydrogen produced by electrochemical water splitting without carbon emission is a high-density energy carrier, which could gradually substitute the usage of traditional fossil fuels. The development of high-performance electrocatalysts at affordable costs is one of the major research priorities in order to achieve the large-scale implementation of a green hydrogen supply chain. In this work, the development of a vanadium-doped FeBP (V-FeBP) microsphere croissant (MSC) electrocatalyst is demonstrated to exhibit efficient bi-functional water splitting for the first time. The FeBP MSC electrode is synthesized by a hydrothermal approach along with the systematic control of growth parameters such as precursor concentration, reaction duration, reaction temperature and post-annealing, etc. Then, the heteroatom doping of vanadium is performed on the best FeBP MSC by a simple soaking approach. The best optimized V-FeBP MSC demonstrates the low HER and OER overpotentials of 52 and 180 mV at 50 mA/cm2 in 1 M KOH in a three-electrode system. In addition, the two-electrode system, i.e., V-FeBP || V-FeBP, demonstrates a comparable water-splitting performance to the benchmark electrodes of Pt/C || RuO2 in 1 M KOH. Similarly, exceptional performance is also observed in natural sea water. The 3D MSC flower-like structure provides a very high surface area that favors rapid mass/electron-transport pathways, which improves the electrocatalytic activity. Further, the V-FeBP electrode is examined in different pH solutions and in terms of its stability under industrial operational conditions at 60 °C in 6 M KOH, and it shows excellent stability.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) as a class of metal-organic frameworks demonstrate a promising platform to develop cost-effective high-performance electrocatalysts. However, the construction of delicate micro/nanostructures and controllable doping are still a challenging task for the fabrication of highly efficient copper-based electrocatalysts. Herein, we report a facile synthesis of copper foam supported Cu3P@Co-Cu3P (CH@PBA-P/CF) sub-microwire arrays as an active electrocatalyst for alkaline water splitting. The Co-Cu3P shell derived from the Cu3[Co(CN)6]2 PBA serves as the source of active sites. Co doping and construction of core-shell structures endow the CH@PBA-P/CF electrocatalyst with abundant catalytic sites, enhanced intrinsic activity, and low charge transport resistance. The catalytic electrode integrated with 3D copper foam and 1D sub-microwire arrays is highly conductive and stable, which promotes the charge transport and improves the structural stability. As a consequence, CH@PBA-P/CF shows impressive catalytic performances toward the HER and OER in terms of low overpotentials of 231 and 312 mV at a current density of 50 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH, respectively. Notably, the water electrolyzer using the CH@PBA-P/CF electrode exhibits better water splitting performance than the one using noble metal-based couples.

Abstract
Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have recently emerged as an important class of functional materials and been demonstrated to be outstanding supercapacitor electrode materials and catalysts for electrochemical water splitting. While extensive investigations have been devoted to monometallic TMPs, multimetallic TMPs have lately proved to show enhanced electrochemical performance compared to their monometallic counterparts, thanks to the synergistic effect between different transition metal species. This topical review summarizes recent advance in the synthesis of new multimetallic TMP nanostructures, with particular focus on their applications in supercapacitors and electrochemical water splitting. Both experimental reports and theoretical understanding of the synergy between transition metal species are comprehensively reviewed, and perspectives of future research on TMP-based materials for these specific applications are outlined.

Abstract
Fabrication of hierarchical porous catalysts with a large specific surface area and tunable architecture provides an effective strategy to promote the catalytic performance of Pt-based catalysts. Herein, we design and construct hierarchical flower-like Fe2P@CoP@nitrogen-doped carbon (Fe2P@CoP@NDC) through a facile method, and synthesize Pt/Fe2P@CoP@NDC porous spheres via acid pickling and depositing of Pt NPs. The morphology of Fe2P@CoP@NDC is precisely manipulated by controlling the synthesis conditions, including the reaction time and the addition of a protective agent, and the protective growth mechanism of the hierarchical flower-like Fe2P@CoP@NDC spheres is mentioned. Significantly, the Pt/Fe2P@CoP@NDC catalyst exhibits 3.29 and 2.36 times higher mass activity and specific activity than those of commercial Pt/C for methanol oxidation, respectively. Furthermore, its residual mass activity after 1000 cycles is 5.77 times as much as that of the commercial Pt/C catalyst in acidic electrolytes. Based on exploration of the reaction kinetics of the Pt/Fe2P@CoP@NDC catalyst, the excellent catalytic activity and durability are attributed to the unique porous structure with relatively open area and enlarged specific surface area, which can promote fast electron transport and charge transfer, resulting in quick reaction kinetics. Moreover, metal phosphides can effectively accelerate the oxidative removal of intermediates, accordingly improving the catalytic activity. Therefore, the Pt/Fe2P@CoP@NDC material with these compositional and structural features is expected to be a promising electrochemical catalyst.

Abstract
In order to reduce the overpotential of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), the ternary coating Co-W-P was deposited on the surface of the nickel foam by electrochemical deposition to obtain a highly active electrode. Based on the measured double layer capacitance (Cdl) and HER activity, there is volcanic behavior between the intrinsic activity of Co-W-P and the Co:W ratio in the electrolyte. W and P play different roles in the formation of nanoparticles, and work together to achieve the large electrochemical surface area and excellent activity. When applied to the modification of other catalysts (Ni-P and Fe-P), the higher intrinsic activity was obtained after the introduction of W.

Abstract
The development of durable, beneficial, and highly active non-precious metal-based electrocatalysts for hydrogen generation is a vital concern. This study proposes an effective strategy for the construction of Fe doped CoP nanosheet arrays wrapped by graphene (F0.25CP-G) on nickel foam as an efficient electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this design, the final catalyst possesses a combination of the high conductivity of graphene, great surface porosity, and the intrinsic electrocatalytic activity of the F0.25CP-G which results in high-performance electrocatalytic activity toward the HER and OER. Therefore, the as-synthesized F0.25CP-G catalyst can achieve overpotentials of 66 mV and 230 mV for the HER and OER, respectively, in KOH at 10 mA cm-2. Furthermore, a practical electrolyzer (F0.25CP-G||F0.25CP-G) exhibits a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at 1.60 V along with good durability for 24 h.

Abstract
Developing high-efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts is significant for the overall water splitting. Bimetallic phosphides show great potential for the bifunctional hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts due to the excellent catalytic performance. Herein, the CoFeP two-dimensional nanoarrays successfully grown on nitrogen doped electrospun carbon nanofibers (CoFeP NS@NCNF) through template-directed growth and following phosphorization treatment. Benefiting from the hierarchical nanoarrays structure, synergistic effect of high electrical conductivity carbon nanofiber substrate and bimetallic phosphide, the CoFeP NS@NCNF exhibits efficient bifunctional electrocatalytic activities for OER and HER in 1 M KOH with overpotentials of 268 mV (η20) and 113 mV (η10), respectively. Moreover, the CoFeP NS@NCNF coupled two-electrode system needs a low voltage of 1.59 V at 10 mA cm-2 for overall water splitting. This work provides a promising way for the preparation of transition metal-based electrocatalysts with hierarchical structure derived from Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) for OER and HER.

Abstract
Electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen is crucial for developing sustainable clean energy and protecting the environment. However, because of the multi-electron transfer in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process, the kinetics of the reaction is seriously hindered. To address this issue, we designed and synthesized hollow CoP/FeP4 heterostructural nanorods interwoven by carbon nanotubes (CoP/FeP4@CNT) via a hydrothermal reaction and a phosphorization process. The CoP/FeP4@CNT hybrid catalyst delivers prominent OER electrochemical performances: it displays a substantially smaller Tafel slope of 48.0 mV dec−1 and a lower overpotential of 301 mV at 10 mA cm−2, compared with an RuO2 commercial catalyst; it also shows good stability over 20 h. The outstanding OER property is mainly attributed to the synergistic coupling between its unique CNT-interwoven hollow nanorod structure and the CoP/FeP4 heterojunction, which can not only guarantee high conductivity and rich active sites, but also greatly facilitate the electron transfer, ion diffusion, and O2 gas release and significantly enhance its electrocatalytic activity. This work offers a facile method to develop transition metal-based phosphide heterostructure electrocatalysts with a unique hierarchical nanostructure for high performance water oxidation.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogs (PBAs), the oldest artificial cyanide-based coordination polymers, possess open framework structures, large specific surface areas, uniform metal active sites, and tunable composition, showing significant perspective in electrochemical energy storage. These electrochemically active materials have also been converted to various functional metal containing nanomaterials, including carbon encapsulated metals/metal alloys, metal oxides, metal sulfides, metal phosphides, etc. originating from the multi-element compositions as well as elaborate structure design. In this paper, a comprehensive review will be presented on the recent progresses in the development of PBA frameworks and their derivatives based electrode materials and electrocatalysts for electrochemical energy storage and conversion. In particular, it will focus on the synthesis of representative nanostructures, the structure design, and figure out the correlation between nanomaterials structure and electrochemical performance. Lastly, critical scientific challenges in this research area are also discussed and perspective directions for the future research in this field are provided, in order to provide a brand new vision into the further development of novel active materials for the next-generation advanced electrochemical devices.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of low-cost and efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for water splitting are critical and challenging. Hereby, a bimetallic phosphide embedded in a N and P co-doped porous carbon (FeCoP2@NPPC) material was synthesized by using sustainable biomass-derived N- and P-containing carbohydrates and non-noble metal salts as precursors. The obtained material exhibits good catalytic activities in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and overall water splitting. The bimetallic alloy phosphide (FeCoP2) is the active site for electrocatalysis. Theoretical calculation indicates that the sub-layer Fe atoms and top-layer Co atoms in FeCoP2 exhibit a synergistic effect for enhanced electrocatalytic performance. The carbon matrix around the FeCoP2 can prevent the corrosion during the catalytic reactions. The hierarchically porous structure of the FeCoP2@NPPC material can promote the transfer of electrons and electrolyte, and increase the contact area of the active sites and electrolytes. N- and P-containing functionalities improve the wetting and conductivity properties of the porous carbon. Due to the synergistic effects, FeCoP2@NPPC requires a low overpotential of 114 and 150 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm-2 for HER in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1.0 M KOH, and an overpotential of 236 mV for OER in 1.0 M KOH solution, which are much lower than those of FeP@NPPC and CoP@NPPC. Based on the density functional theory calculation, FeCoP2 yields the smallest Gibbs free energy change of rate-determining step among the samples, which leads to better electrochemical performances. In addition, when FeCoP2@NPPC was used as a bifunctional catalyst in water splitting, the electrolyzer needed a low voltage of 1.60 V to deliver the current density of 10 mA cm-2. Furthermore, this work provides a strategy for preparing sustainable, stable, and highly active electrocatalysts for water splitting.

Abstract
A CoP/graphene composite was synthesized through a coprecipitation and in situ phosphorization protocol using α-Co(OH)2 and graphene oxide as precursors. The similar two-dimensional layered structures ensured evenly attached α-Co(OH)2 nanosheets on the graphene oxide support and the formation of a sandwich-like structure. The sequential in situ phosphorization strategy not only generated a high density of ultrafine CoP nanocrystals but also simultaneously reduced the graphene oxide support. The enough exposed active sites combined with a highly conductive matrix resulted in an excellent electrochemical catalyst for overall water splitting. The overpotential is only 125 mV at 10 mA·cm2 in 0.5 M H2SO4. Good electrocatalytic performance was also exhibited in alkaline conditions for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The overpotential is 119 mV for HER and 374 mV for OER at 10 mA·cm2 in 1 M KOH. More importantly, the composite exhibited much higher exchange current densities during HER processes (1.64 × 10-4 A·cm-2 in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 2.93 × 10-4 A·cm-2 in 1 M KOH) when compared with similar materials reported before. This low-cost, simple, and efficient approach is suitable for mass production and practical applications.

Abstract
The unsatisfactory energy efficiency and leakable liquid electrolytes in conventional Zn-air batteries with intrinsic semi-open structures greatly limit their opportunity to be a safe micropower source for flexible/wearable electronics. Herein, N-doped-carbon/cobalt-nanoparticle/N-doped-carbon (NdC-CoNP-NdC) multi-layer sandwich nanohybrids were first synthesized via the pyrolysis of a well-designed Co-MOF precursor with a 3D molecular framework. Profiting from the synergistic effect enabled by the interlayer-confined growth of monodispersed cobalt nanoparticles having high activity/stability and a thousand-layer-cake porous N-self-doped carbon skeleton of high conductivity and additional active sites as well as the reasonable design of a multi-layer sandwich interface structure between them that acts as an interconnected nanoreactor, the as-obtained NdC-CoNP-NdC multi-layer sandwich nanohybrids exhibit excellent bifunctional catalytic activity of a small ORR/OER gap (0.83 V). We followed a planar electrode configuration design with an interdigital carbon cloth coated with NdC-CoNP-NdC as the air cathode and an interdigital Zn foil as the metal anode as well as the introduction of a polyacrylamide-co-polyacrylic/6 M KOH alkaline gel as an incombustible solid-state electrolyte. Thus, on-chip all-solid-state rechargeable Zn-air batteries (OAR-ZABs) are further developed, achieving a cycle life up to 150 cycles per 50 h, high power density/specific capacity as much as 57.0 mW cm-2/771 mA h g-1, respectively, and excellent coplanar integration capability and mechanical flexibility for working steadily under bending deformation. Eventually, as an additional advancement, an autonomous smartwatch powered by the coplanar integrated OAR-ZABs is demonstrated, which possesses excellent integrity and flexibility and is comfortably wearable for timing and step counting dynamically; this demonstrates the successful application of assembling OAR-ZABs into highly integrated wearable electronics as a compatible micropower source.
