Abstract
Phenolic compounds are ubiquitous in nature because of their unique physical and chemical properties and wide applications, which have received extensive research attention. Phenolic compounds represented by tannic acid (TA) play an important role at the nanoscale. TA with a polyphenol hydroxyl structure can chemically react with organic or inorganic materials, among which metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) formed by coordination with metal ions and polyphenol derivatives formed by interactions with organic matter, exhibit specific properties and functions, and play key roles in photo(electro)catalysis. In this paper, we first introduce the fundamental properties of TA, then summarize the factors influencing the properties of MPNs and structural transformation of polyphenol-derived materials. Subsequently, the functions of MPNs and polyphenol derivatives in photo(electro)catalysis reactions are summarized, encompassing improving interfacial charge carrier separation, accelerating surface reaction kinetics, and enhancing light absorption. Finally, this article provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and outlook associated with MPNs. Additionally, it presents novel insights into their stability, mechanistic analysis, synthesis, and applications in photo(electro)catalysis.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023; 35:e2210994. [PMID: 36591619 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202210994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Light-driven microrobots with different propulsion mechanisms have attracted great attention in microrobot synthesis and applications. However, current systems rely heavily on precious metals, using a complex synthesis process and limited working wavelength. It is therefore of great interest to fabricate microrobots that can be driven by multi-wavelength irradiation and with simple components. Here, metal-phenolic network (MPN)-based microrobots are synthesized using a sacrificial polystyrene bead template and an extra capping is added to regulate their symmetry. The hollow MPN microrobots with different layers of capping are capable of moving under both near-infrared (NIR) irradiation and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, without fuel. The velocity of the microrobots under irradiation is altered by the thickness of the asymmetric capping and their motion could be manipulated remotely by switching the NIR or UV irradiation on and off. With light-driven mobility, the reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) scavenging activity of the microrobots is significantly increased. Therefore, this proposed microrobot system provides a synthesis strategy to develop asymmetric light-navigated microrobots for future medical treatment with tunable structure, multi-wavelength light-responsive mobility, and great RONS scavenging capacity.

Abstract
Efficient electrocatalysts require not only a tunable electronic structure but also great active site accessibility and favorable mass transfer. Here, a two-dimensional/three-dimensional (2D/3D) hierarchical electrocatalyst consisting of Co(OH)2-CeO2 nanosheet-decorated Co dendrites is proposed, named as Co(OH)2-CeO2/Co. Based on the strong electronic interaction of the Co(OH)2-CeO2 heterojunction, the electronic structure of the Co site is optimized, which facilitates the adsorption of intermediates and the dissociation of H2O. Moreover, the open 2D/3D structure formed by introducing the Co substrate further reduces the accumulation of heterogeneous nanosheets and promotes the radial diffusion of the electrolyte, significantly improving the utilization of active sites and shortening the electron transfer pathway. In addition, the superhydrophilic/superaerophobic interface achieved by constructing the hierarchical micro-nanostructure is beneficial to electrolyte infiltration and bubble desorption, thus ensuring favorable mass transfer. Therefore, Co(OH)2-CeO2/Co exhibits an excellent overall water-splitting activity in alkaline solution.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is kinetically sluggish due to the limitation of the four-electron transfer pathway, so it is imperative to explore advanced catalysts with a superior structure and catalytic output under facile synthetic conditions. In the present work, an easily accessible strategy was proposed to implement the plant-polyphenol-involved coordination assembly on Co(OH)2 nanosheets. A TA-Fe (TA = tannic acid) coordination assembly growing on Co(OH)2 resulted in the heterostructure of Co(OH)2@TA-Fe as an electrocatalyst for OER. It could significantly decrease the overpotential to 297 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The heterostructure Co(OH)2@TA-Fe also possessed favorable reaction kinetics with a low Tafel slope of 64.8 mV dec-1 and facilitated a charge-transfer ability. The enhanced electrocatalytic performance was further unraveled to be related to the confined growth of the coordination assembly on Co(OH)2 to expose more active sites, the modulated surface properties and their synergistic effect. This study demonstrated a simple and feasible strategy to utilize inexpensive biomass-derived substances as novel modifiers to enhance the performance of energy-conversion electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Cobalt-based hydroxide are ideal candidates for the oxygen evolution reaction. Herein, we use molybdenum oxide nanorods as sacrificial templates to construct a self-supporting molybdenum-doped cobalt hydroxide nanosheet hierarchical microtubule structure based on a structural engineering strategy to improve the active area of the catalyst. X-ray-based spectroscopic tests revealed that Mo (VI) with tetrahedral coordination intercalated into the interlayer of cobalt hydroxide, promoting interlayer separation. At the same time, Mo is connected with Co through oxygen bonds, which promotes the transfer of Co charges to Mo and reduces the electron cloud density of Co ions. In 1 M KOH, optimized molybdenum-doped cobalt hydroxide nanosheet microtubules only needs an overpotential of 288 mV to drive a current density of 10 mA cm-2, which is significantly better than that of pure Co(OH)2 nanosheets and RuO2. Structural engineering and electronic state regulation can effectively improve the oxygen evolution activity of cobalt-based hydroxide, which provides a design idea for the development of efficient oxygen evolution catalysts.

Abstract
Low-dimensional high-entropy materials, such as nanoparticles and two-dimensional (2D) layers, have great potential for catalysis and energy applications. However, it is still challenging to synthesize 2D layered high-entropy materials through a bottom-up soft chemistry method, due to the difficulty of mixing and assembling multiple elements in 2D layers. Here, we report a simple polyol process for the synthesis of a series of 2D layered high-entropy transition metal (Co, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Zn) hydroxides (HEHs), involving the hydrolysis and inorganic polymerization of metal-containing species in ethylene glycol media. The as-synthesized HEHs demonstrate 2D layered structures with interlayer distances ranging from 0.860 to 0.987 nm and homogeneous elemental distribution of designed equimolar stoichiometry in the layers. These 2D HEHs exhibit a low overpotential of 275 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in a 0.1 M KOH electrolyte for the oxygen evolution reaction. Superparamagnetic spinel-type high-entropy nanoparticles can also be obtained by annealing these HEHs. Our polyol approach creates opportunities for synthesizing low-dimensional high-entropy materials with promising properties and applications.
