Abstract
Design high-loading with superior activity and high atomic efficiency has consistently been a new frontier of heterogeneous catalysis while challenging in synthetic technology. In this work, a universal solid-state strategy is proposed for large scalable production of high-loading Ir clusters on porous hollow carbon nanobowls (Ir CSs/PHCNBs). The strong electronic interaction between metallic Ir cluster and C on PHCNBs leads to electron redistribution, which significantly improves the electron transfer rate on the interface. The obtained Ir CSs/PHCNBs only require overpotentials of 35, 34, and 37 mV for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with stable outputting of 10 mA cm-2 under acidic, alkaline, and neutral conditions, respectively, which exceeds the state-of-the-art HER electrocatalysts. Meanwhile, the Tafel slopes of Ir CSs/PHCNBs for the HER process are 23.07, 48.76, and 28.95 mV dec-1 , greatly lower than that of PHCNBs (152.73, 227.96, and 140.29 mV dec-1 ) and commercial Pt/C (20%) (36.33, 66.10, and 36.61 mV dec-1 ). These results provide a new strategy for the universal synthesis of clusters catalysts and insight into understanding the interface effects between clusters and carbon substrate, facilitating the industrial application of hydrogen production.

Abstract
Water electrolysis is considered as one of the alternative potential approaches for producing renewable energy. Due to the sluggish kinetic nature of oxygen evolution reaction (OER), it encounters a significant overpotential to achieve water electrolysis. Hence, the advancement of cost-effective transition metal-based catalysts toward water splitting has gained global attention in recent years. In this work, the doping of Fe over amorphous NiWO4 increased the OER activity effectively and achieved stable oxygen evolution in the alkaline medium, which show better electrocatalytic activity as compared to crystalline tungstate. As NiWO4 has poor activity toward OER in the alkaline medium, the doping of Fe3+ will tune the electronic structure of Ni in NiWO4 and boost the OER activity. The as-synthesized Fe-doped amorphous NiWO4 exhibits a low overpotential of 230 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a lower Tafel slope value of 48 mV dec-1 toward OER in 1.0 M KOH solution. The catalyst also exhibits long-term static stability of 30 h during chronoamperometric study. The doping of Fe improves the electronic conductivity of Ni-3d states in NiWO4 which play a dominant role for better catalytic activity via synergistic interaction between Fe and active Ni sites. In future, these results offer an alternative route for precious metal-free catalysts in alkaline medium and can be explicitly used in various tungstate-based materials to increase the synergism between the doped atom and metal ions in tungstate-based materials for further improvement in the electrocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Transition-metal-based layered double hydroxides (TM-LDHs) nanosheets are promising electrocatalysts in the renewable electrochemical energy conversion system, which are regarded as alternatives to noble metal-based materials. In this review, recent advances on effective and facile strategies to rationally design TM-LDHs nanosheets as electrocatalysts, such as increasing the number of active sties, improving the utilization of active sites (atomic-scale catalysts), modulating the electron configurations, and controlling the lattice facets, are summarized and compared. Then, the utilization of these fabricated TM-LDHs nanosheets for oxygen evolution reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, urea oxidation reaction, nitrogen reduction reaction, small molecule oxidations, and biomass derivatives upgrading is articulated through systematically discussing the corresponding fundamental design principles and reaction mechanism. Finally, the existing challenges in increasing the density of catalytically active sites and future prospects of TM-LDHs nanosheets-based electrocatalysts in each application are also commented.

Abstract
It is challenging to design one non-noble material with balanced bifunctional performance for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for commercial sustainability at a low cost since the different electrocatalytic mechanisms are not easily matchable for each other. Herein, a self-standing hybrid system Ni18 Fe12 Al70 , consisting of Ni2 Al3 and Ni3 Fe phases, was constructed by laser-assisted aluminum (Al) incorporation towards full water splitting. It was found that the incorporation of Al could effectively tune the morphologies, compositions and phases. The results indicate that Ni18 Fe12 Al70 delivers an extremely low overpotential to trigger both HER (η100 =188 mV) and OER (η100 =345 mV) processes and maintains a stable overpotential for 100 h, comparable to state-of-the-art electrocatalysts. The synergistic effect of Ni2 Al3 and Ni3 Fe alloys on the HER process is confirmed based on theoretical calculation.

Abstract
Water splitting technology is an efficient approach to produce hydrogen (H2) as an energy carrier, which can address the problems of environmental deterioration and energy shortage well, as well as establishment of a clean and sustainable hydrogen economy powered by renewable energy sources due to the green reaction of H2 with O2. The efficiency of H2 production by water splitting technology is intimately related with the reactions on the electrode. Nowadays, the efficient electrocatalysts in water splitting reactions are the precious metal-based materials, i.e., Pt/C, RuO2, and IrO2. Ni (Co, Fe)-based layered double hydroxides (LDH) two-dimensional (2D) materials are the typical non-precious metal-based materials in water splitting with their advantages including low cost, excellent electrocatalytic performance, and simple preparation methods. They exhibit great potential for the substitution of precious metal-based materials. This review summarizes the recent progress of Ni (Co, Fe)-based LDH 2D materials for water splitting, and mainly focuses on discussing and analyzing the different strategies for modifying LDH materials towards high electrocatalytic performance. We also discuss recent achievements, including their electronic structure, electrocatalytic performance, catalytic center, preparation process, and catalytic mechanism. Furthermore, the characterization progress in revealing the electronic structure and catalytic mechanism of LDH is highlighted in this review. Finally, we put forward some future perspectives relating to design and explore advanced LDH catalysts in water splitting.
