Abstract
The demand for the exploration of highly active and durable electro/photocatalysts for renewable energy conversion has experienced a significant surge in recent years. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), by virtue of their high porosity, large surface area, and modifiable metal centers and ligands, have gained tremendous attention and demonstrated promising prospects in electro/photocatalytic energy conversion. However, the small pore sizes and limited active sites of 3D bulk MOFs hinder their wide applications. Developing 2D MOFs with tailored thickness and large aspect ratio has emerged as an effective approach to meet these challenges, offering a high density of exposed active sites, better mechanical stability, better assembly flexibility, and shorter charge and photoexcited state transfer distances compared to 3D bulk MOFs. In this review, synthesis methods for the most up-to-date 2D MOFs are first overviewed, highlighting their respective advantages and disadvantages. Subsequently, a systematic analysis is conducted on the identification and electronic structure modulation of catalytic active sites in 2D MOFs and their applications in renewable energy conversion, including electrocatalysis and photocatalysis (electro/photocatalysis). Lastly, the current challenges and future development of 2D MOFs toward highly efficient and practical electro/photocatalysis are proposed.

Abstract
Urea oxidation reaction (UOR) is one of the promising alternative anodic reactions to water oxidation that has attracted extensive attention in green hydrogen production. The application of specifically designed electrocatalysts capable of declining energy consumption and environmental consequences is one of the major challenges in this field. Therefore, the goal is to achieve a resistant, low-cost, and environmentally friendly electrocatalyst. Herein, a water-stable fluorinated Cu(II) metalorganic framework (MOF) {[Cu2 (L)(H2 O)2 ]·(5DMF)(4H2 O)}n (Cu-FMOF-NH2 ; H4 L = 3,5-bis(2,4-dicarboxylic acid)-4-(trifluoromethyl)aniline) is developed utilizing an angular tetracarboxylic acid ligand that incorporates both trifluoromethyl (-CF3 ) and amine (-NH2 ) groups. The tailored structure of Cu-FMOF-NH2 where linkers are connected by fluoride bridges and surrounded by dicopper nodes reveals a 4,24T1 topology. When employed as electrocatalyst, Cu-FMOF-NH2 requires only 1.31 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) to deliver 10 mA cm-2 current density in 1.0 m KOH with 0.33 m urea electrolyte and delivered an even higher current density (50 mA cm-2 ) at 1.47 V versus RHE. This performance is superior to several reported catalysts including commercial RuO2 catalyst with overpotential of 1.52 V versus RHE. This investigation opens new opportunities to develop and utilize pristine MOFs as a potential electrocatalyst for various catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have exhibited appreciable potential as catalytic agents in the field of material science. The research of new MOFs with dual functions in electrocatalysis and photocatalysis under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is extremely pivotal for renewable energy applications. Hence, we synthesized a series of three-dimensional MOFs, namely, [Cd(bimb)2(HITA)2]n (Cd-MOF 1), {[Cd(bimb)6](NO3)2}n (Cd-MOF 2), and [Cd(bimb)4(ONO2)2]n (Cd-MOF 3) (bimb = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene; H2ITA = 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid), with applicability in the oxygen evolution reaction process and Fenton-like photocatalysis. The obtained results show that Cd-MOF 1 exhibited the most remarkable catalytic performance, affording a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at a very low overpotential of 279 mV and the smallest Tafel slope of 85.13 mV dec-1. Meanwhile, these MOFs can generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH) under UV light irradiation with the existence of H2O2, enabling the rapid degradation of organic pollutants. This study provides a valuable direction for producing multifunctional and environmentally friendly catalysts.

Abstract
The highly selective photoreduction of CO2 into valuable small-molecule chemical feedstocks such as CO is an effective strategy for addressing the energy crisis and environmental problems. However, it remains a challenge because the complex CO2 photoreduction process usually generates multiple possible products and requires a subsequent separation step. In this paper, 2D monolayer and bilayer porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are successfully constructed by adjusting the reaction temperature and solvent polarity with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-pyridyl)porphyrin as the light-harvesting ligand. The bilayer MOF is a low-dimensional MOF with a special structure in which the upper and lower layers are arranged in dislocation and are bridged by halogen ions. This bilayer MOF exhibits 100% ultra-high selectivity for the reduction of CO2 to CO under simulated sunlight without any cocatalyst or photosensitizer and can be recycled at least three times. The intrinsic mechanism of this photocatalytic CO2 reduction process is explored through experimental characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This work shows that the rational design of the number of layers in 2D MOF structures can tune the stability of these structures and opens a new avenue for the design of highly selective MOF photocatalysts.

Abstract
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) represents a highly important electrochemical transformation in energy storage and conversion technologies. Considering the low rate of this four-electron half-reaction, there is a demand for efficient, stable, and noble-metal-free electrocatalysts to improve the kinetic and economical parameters. In this work, a new pillared-MOF@NiV-LDH nanocomposite based on a CoII metal-organic framework (pillared-MOF) and heterometallic Ni/V-layered double hydroxide (NiV-LDH) was assembled via a simple protocol, characterized, and explored as an electrocatalyst in OER. A remarkable electrocatalytic efficiency of pillared-MOF@NiV-LDH in 1 M KOH is evidenced by a low overpotential (238 mV at 10 mA cm-2 current density) and a small value of the Tafel slope (62 mV dec-1). These parameters are very close to those of the reference IrO2 electrocatalyst and are superior to the majority of the LDH- and MOF-based systems previously applied for OER. Excellent stability of pillared-MOF@NiV-LDH was confirmed by the chronopotentiometry tests for 70 h and linear-sweep voltammetry after 7000 cycles. Features such as rich electroactive sites, porous structure, high surface area, and synergic effect between pillared-MOF and NiV-LDH are likely responsible for the remarkable electrocatalytic efficiency of this electrocatalyst in OER. Despite prior reports on the application of NiV-LDH in OER, the present study describes the first example where this type of LDH is blended with MOF to generate a nanocomposite material. The interface between the two components of the composite can improve the electronic structure and, in turn, the electrocatalytic behavior. The introduction of this composite paves the way toward the synthesis of other multicomponent materials with potential applications in different energy fields.

Abstract
The development of multi-component bi-functional electrocatalysts is necessary for commercialization of high-performance zinc-air batteries. Herein, foamed carbon-supported nickel-iron oxides interspersed with bamboo-like carbon nanotubes are prepared as bi-functional electrocatalysts for this battery type. During high temperature synthesis, edges of carbon sheets comprising the foamed carbon structure become involuted to form short carbon nanotubes. The composite of carbon nanotubes and network carbon confer high specific surface area and high electrical conductivity on the newly prepared materials. The supported NiFe2 O4 phase improves the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity by fixing more N atoms, and high-valent Ni oxide (Ni2 O3 ) promotes the formation of OO bonds, which is conducive to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The optimized material exhibits excellent bi-functional electrocatalytic activity toward both ORR and OER, and its use in the assembled zinc-air battery cell results in a high power density of 150 mW cm-2 with long discharge stability.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic generation of oxygen is of great significance for sustainable, clean, and efficient energy production. Multiple electron transfer in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and its slow kinetics represent a serious hedge for efficient water splitting, requiring the design and development of advanced electrocatalysts with porous structures, high surface areas, abundant electroactive sites, and low overpotentials. These requisites are common for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and derived materials that are promising electrocatalysts for OER. The present work reports on the synthesis and full characterization of a heteroleptic 3D MOF, [Zn2(μ4-odba)2(μ-bpdh)]n·nDMF (Zn-MUM-1), assembled from 4,4'-oxydibenzoic acid and 2,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene (bpdh). Besides, a series of heterometallic MnZn-MUM-1 frameworks (abbreviated as Mn0.5Zn0.5-MUM-1, Mn0.66Zn0.33-MUM-1, and Mn0.33Zn0.66-MUM-1) was also prepared, characterized, and used for the fabrication of working electrodes based on Ni foam (NF), followed by their exploration in OER. These noble-metal-free and robust electrocatalysts are stable and do not require pyrolysis or calcination while exhibiting better electrocatalytic performance than the parent Zn-MUM-1/NF electrode. The experimental results show that the Mn0.5Zn0.5-MUM-1/NF electrocatalyst features the best OER activity with a low overpotential (253 mV at 10 mA cm-2) and Tafel slope (73 mV dec-1) as well as significant stability after 72 h or 6000 cycles. These excellent results are explained by a synergic effect of two different metals present in the Mn-Zn MOF as well as improved charge and ion transfer, conductivity, and stability characteristics. The present study thus widens the application of heterometallic MOFs as prospective and highly efficient electrocatalysts for OER.

Abstract
Heteroatom doping plays a crucial role in improving the electrocatalytic performance of catalysts towards water splitting. Owing to the existence of Ru-O moieties, Ru is thus emerging as an ideal dopant for promoting the electrocatalytic performance for water splitting by modifying the electronic structure, introducing extra active sites, improving electronic conductivity, and inducing a strong synergistic effect. Benefitting from these advantages, Ru-doped nanomaterials have been widely investigated and employed as advanced electrocatalysts for water splitting, and many excellent Ru-doped electrocatalysts have been successfully developed. In an effort to obtain a better understanding of the influence of Ru doping on the electrocatalytic water splitting performance of nanocatalysts, we herein summarize the recent progress of Ru-doped electrocatalysts by focusing on the synthesis strategies and advantageous merits. Applications of these new materials in water electrolysis technology are also discussed with emphasis on future directions in this active field of research.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) hold the promise of utilizing 100% of the participating atoms in a reaction as active catalytic sites, achieving a remarkable boost in catalytic efficiency. Thus, they present great potential for noble metal-based electrochemical application systems, such as water electrolyzers and fuel cells. However, their practical applications are severely hindered by intrinsic complications, namely atom agglomeration and relocation, originating from the uncontrollably high surface energy of isolated single-atoms (SAs) during postsynthetic treatment processes or catalytic reactions. Extensive efforts have been made to develop new methodologies for strengthening the interactions between SAs and supports, which could ensure the desired stability of the active catalytic sites and their full utilization by SACs. This review covers the recent progress in SACs development while emphasizing the association between the regulation of coordination environments (e.g., coordination atoms, numbers, sites, structures) and the electrocatalytic performance of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The crucial role of coordination chemistry in modifying the intrinsic properties of SACs and manipulating their metal-loading, stability, and catalytic properties is elucidated. Finally, the future challenges of SACS development and the industrial outlook of this field are discussed.

Abstract
Belt-shaped metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received extensive attention because of their unique structure. In this Communication, Fe-MOF nanobelts were synthesized by a solvothermal method with Fe2+ as the metal source and could not be obtained by using Fe3+ as the metal source. The final result shows that Fe2+ played a transitional role in the process of achieving belt-shaped and cubelike structural changes. Our work provides an idea for the synthesis of belt-shaped MOFs and promotes the development of electrocatalysts.
