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
Decentralized electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) via oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) can enable applications in disinfection control, pulping and textile bleaching, wastewater treatment, and renewable energy storage. Transition metal oxides are usually not efficient catalysts because they are more selective to produce H2 O. Here, it is shown that divalent 3d transition metal cations (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) can control the catalytic activity and selectivity of columbite nanoparticles. They are synthesized using polyoxoniobate (K7 HNb6 O19 ·13H2 O) and divalent metal cations by a hydrothermal method. The optimal NiNb2 O6 holds an H2 O2 selectivity of 96% with the corresponding H2 O2 Faradaic efficiency of 92% in a wide potential window from 0.2 to 0.6 V in alkaline electrolyte, superior to other transition metal oxide catalysts. Ex situ X-ray photoelectron and operando Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopic studies, together with density functional theory calculations, reveal that 3d transition metals shift the d-band center of catalytically active surface Nb atoms and change their interactions with ORR intermediates. In an application demonstration, NiNb2 O6 delivers H2 O2 productivity up to 1 molH2O2 gcat -1 h-1 in an H-shaped electrolyzer and can yield catholytes containing 300 × 10-3 m H2 O2 to efficiently decomposing several organic dyes. The low-cost 3d transition-metal-mediated columbite catalysts show excellent application potentials.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting driven by sustainable energy such as solar, wind, and tide is attracting ever-increasing attention for sustainable production of clean hydrogen fuel from water. Leveraging these advances requires efficient and earth-abundant electrocatalysts to accelerate the kinetically sluggish hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER). A large number of advanced water-splitting electrocatalysts have been developed through recent understanding of the electrochemical nature and engineering approaches. Specifically, strain engineering offers a novel route to promote the electrocatalytic HER/OER performances for efficient water splitting. Herein, the recent theoretical and experimental progress on applying strain to enhance heterogeneous electrocatalysts for both HER and OER are reviewed and future opportunities are discussed. A brief introduction of the fundamentals of water-splitting reactions, and the rationalization for utilizing mechanical strain to tune an electrocatalyst is given, followed by a discussion of the recent advances on strain-promoted HER and OER, with special emphasis given to combined theoretical and experimental approaches for determining the optimal straining effect for water electrolysis, along with experimental approaches for creating and characterizing strain in nanocatalysts, particularly emerging 2D nanomaterials. Finally, a vision for a future sustainable hydrogen fuel community based on strain-promoted water electrolysis is proposed.

Abstract
Unraveling a descriptor of catalytic reactivity is essential for fast screening catalysts for a given reaction. Transition metal (TM) compounds have been widely used for oxygen electrocatalysis. Nevertheless, there is a lack of an exact descriptor to predict their catalytic behavior so far. Herein, we propose that the bond-energy-integrated orbitalwise coordination number ([Formula: see text]), which takes into account both geometrical and electronic structures around the active site, can serve as a simple and accurate descriptor for catalysts consisting of TM oxides (TMOs) as well as avoid excessive computation burden. This descriptor exhibits a strong scaling relation with the activity in oxygen electrocatalysis, with a goodness of fit higher than those of the usual coordination number (cn), the generalized coordination number ([Formula: see text]), and the orbitalwise coordination number (CNα). Especially, the theoretical prediction made by the [Formula: see text] descriptor is very consistent with experimental results and universal for various TMOs (e.g., MnO x and RuO2), enabling the rational design of novel catalysts.
