Two‐Step Activated Carbon Cloth with Oxygen‐Rich Functional Groups as a High‐Performance Additive‐Free Air Electrode for Flexible Zinc–Air Batteries

A flexible air electrode (FAE) with both high oxygen electrocatalytic activity and excellent flexibility is the key to the performance of various flexible devices, such as Zn–air batteries. A facile two‐step method, mild acid oxidation followed by air calcination that directly activates commercial carbon cloth (CC) to generate uniform nanoporous and super hydrophilic surface structures with optimized oxygen‐rich functional groups and an enhanced surface area, is presented here. Impressively, this two‐step activated CC (CC‐AC) exhibits superior oxygen electrocatalytic activity and durability, outperforming the oxygen‐doped carbon materials reported to date. Especially, CC‐AC delivers an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) overpotential of 360 mV at 10 mA cm^?2 in 1 m KOH, which is among the best performances of metal‐free OER electrocatalysts. The practical application of CC‐AC is presented via its use as an FAE in a flexible rechargeable Zn–air battery. The bendable battery achieves a high open circuit voltage of 1.37 V, a remarkable peak power density of 52.3 mW cm^?3 at 77.5 mA cm^?3, good cycling performance with a small charge–discharge voltage gap of 0.98 V and high flexibility. This study provides a new approach to the design and construction of high‐performance self‐supported metal‐free electrodes.     

Highly Efficient Oxygen Evolution by a Thermocatalytic Process Cascaded Electrocatalysis Over Sulfur‐Treated Fe‐Based Metal–Organic‐Frameworks

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a bottleneck process for water splitting and finding highly efficient, durable, low‐cost, and earth‐abundant electrocatalysts is still a major challenge. Here a sulfur‐treated Fe‐based metal–organic‐framework is reported as a promising electrocatalyst for the OER, which shows a low overpotential of 218 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm^?2 and exhibits a very low Tafel slope of 36.2 mV dec^?1 at room temperature. It can work on high current densities of 500 and 1000 mA cm^?2 at low overpotentials of 298 and 330 mV, respectively, by keeping 97% of its initial activity after 100 h. Notably, it can achieve 1000 mA cm^?2 at 296 mV with a good stability at 50 °C, fully fitting the requirements for large‐scale industrial water electrolysis. The high catalytic performance can be attributed to the thermocatalytic processes of H⁺ capture by –SO₃ groups from *OH or *OOH species, which cascades to the electrocatalytic pathway and then significantly reduces the OER overpotentials.     

Ultralow Ru Loading Transition Metal Phosphides as High‐Efficient Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for a Solar‐to‐Hydrogen Generation System

Water splitting is a promising technology for sustainable conversion of hydrogen energy. The rational design of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) bifunctional electrocatalysts with superior activity and stability in the same electrolyte is the key to promoting their large‐scale applications. Herein, an ultralow Ru (1.08 wt%) transition metal phosphide on nickel foam (Ru–MnFeP/NF) derived from Prussian blue analogue, that effectively drivies both the OER and the HER in 1 m KOH, is reported. To reach 20 mA cm^?2 for OER and 10 mA cm^?2 for HER, the Ru–MnFeP/NF electrode only requires overpotentials of 191 and 35 mV, respectively. Such high electrocatalytic activity exceeds most transition metal phosphides for the OER and the HER, and even reaches Pt‐like HER electrocatalytic levels. Accordingly, it significantly accelerates full water splitting at 10 mA cm^?2 with 1.470 V, which outperforms that of the integrated RuO₂ and Pt/C couple electrode (1.560 V). In addition, the extremely long operational stability (50 h) and the successful demonstration of a solar‐to‐hydrogen generation system through full water splitting provide more flexibility for large‐scale applications of Ru–MnFeP/NF catalysts.     

Single‐Atom to Single‐Atom Grafting of Pt1 onto FeN4 Center: Pt1@FeNC Multifunctional Electrocatalyst with Significantly Enhanced Properties

Nonprecious metal catalysts (NPMCs) Fe?N?C are promising alternatives to noble metal Pt as the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts for proton‐exchange‐membrane fuel cells. Herein, a new modulation strategy is reported to the active moiety Fe?N₄ via a precise “single‐atom to single‐atom” grafting of a Pt atom onto the Fe center through a bridging oxygen molecule, creating a new active moiety of Pt₁?O₂?Fe₁?N₄. The modulated Fe?N?C exhibits remarkably improved ORR stabilities in acidic media. Moreover, it shows unexpectedly high catalytic activities toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), with overpotentials of 310 mV for OER in alkaline solution and 60 mV for HER in acidic media at a current density of 10 mA cm^?2, outperforming the benchmark RuO₂ and comparable with Pt/C(20%), respectively. The enhanced multifunctional electrocatalytic properties are associated with the newly constructed active moiety Pt₁?O₂?Fe₁?N₄, which protects Fe sites from harmful species. Density functional theory calculations reveal the synergy in the new active moiety, which promotes the proton adsorption and reduction kinetics. In addition, the grafted Pt₁?O₂? dangling bonds may boost the OER activity. This study paves a new way to improve and extend NPMCs electrocatalytic properties through a precisely single‐atom to single‐atom grafting strategy.     

A Simple Synthetic Strategy toward Defect‐Rich Porous Monolayer NiFe‐Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets for Efficient Electrocatalytic Water Oxidation

In this work, porous monolayer nickel‐iron layered double hydroxide (PM‐LDH) nanosheets with a lateral size of ≈30 nm and a thickness of ≈0.8 nm are successfully synthesized by a facile one‐step strategy. Briefly, an aqueous solution containing Ni²⁺ and Fe³⁺ is added dropwise to an aqueous formamide solution at 80 °C and pH 10, with the PM‐LDH product formed within only 10 min. This fast synthetic strategy introduces an abundance of pores in the monolayer NiFe‐LDH nanosheets, resulting in PM‐LDH containing high concentration of oxygen and cation vacancies, as is confirmed by extended X‐ray absorption fine structure and electron spin resonance measurements. The oxygen and cation vacancies in PM‐LDH act synergistically to increase the electropositivity of the LDH nanosheets, while also enhancing H₂O adsorption and bonding strength of the OH* intermediate formed during water electrooxidation, endowing PM‐LDH with outstanding performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). PM‐LDH offers a very low overpotential (230 mV) for OER at a current density of 10 mA cm^?2, with a Tafel slope of only 47 mV dec^?1, representing one of the best OER performance yet reported for a NiFe‐LDH system. The results encourage the wider utilization of porous monolayer LDH nanosheets in electrocatalysis, catalysis, and solar cells.     

Ultrafine Pt Nanoparticle‐Decorated Pyrite‐Type CoS2 Nanosheet Arrays Coated on Carbon Cloth as a Bifunctional Electrode for Overall Water Splitting

To improve the utilization efficiency of precious metals, metal‐supported materials provide a direction for fabricating highly active and stable heterogeneous catalysts. Herein, carbon cloth (CC)‐supported Earth‐abundant CoS₂ nanosheet arrays (CoS₂/CC) are presented as ideal substrates for ultrafine Pt deposition (Pt‐CoS₂/CC) to achieve remarkable performance toward the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER/OER) in alkaline solutions. Notably, the Pt‐CoS₂/CC hybrid delivers an overpotential of 24 mV at 10 mA cm^?2 and a mass activity of 3.89 A Pt_mg^?1, which is 4.7 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C, at an overpotential of 130 mV for catalyzing the HER. An alkali‐electrolyzer using Pt‐CoS₂/CC as a bifunctional electrode enables a water‐splitting current density of 10 mA cm^?2 at a low voltage of 1.55 V and can sustain for more than 20 h, which is superior to that of the state‐of‐the‐art Pt/C+RuO₂ catalyst. Further experimental and theoretical simulation studies demonstrate that strong electronic interaction between Pt and CoS₂ synergistically optimize hydrogen adsorption/desorption behaviors and facilitate the in situ generation of OER active species, enhancing the overall water‐splitting performance. This work highlights the regulation of interfacial and electronic synergy in pursuit of highly efficient and durable supported catalysts for hydrogen and oxygen electrocatalytic applications.     

Few‐Layer Black Phosphorus Nanosheets as Electrocatalysts for Highly Efficient Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Black phosphorus (BP) is a new rediscovered layered material, which has attracted enormous interests in the field of electrocatalysis. Recent investigations reveal that bulk BP is a promising electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reactions (OER), whereas its bulk crystal structure restricts sufficient active sites for achieving highly efficient OER catalytic performances. Toward this end, few‐layer BP nanosheets prepared by facile liquid exfoliation are applied as electrocatalysts and exhibit preferable electrocatalytic OER activity in association with structural robustness; subsequently, the dependence of current density and applied bias potential on the concentration of OH^? has also been uncovered. Most importantly, we are aware that reduction in the thickness of BP nanosheets would generate extra active sites from the ultrathin planar structure and complimenting to the electrocatalytic activities. It is further anticipated that the current work might provide further implementation about the OER performance of BP nanosheets, thereby, offering extendable availabilities for BP‐based electrocatalysts in constructing high‐performance OER devices.     

A Facile Strategy to Construct Amorphous Spinel‐Based Electrocatalysts with Massive Oxygen Vacancies Using Ionic Liquid Dopant

Oxygen vacancies are demonstrated to be beneficial to various electrocatalytic reactions. However, integrating oxygen vacancies into an amorphous catalyst with a large specific surface area, and investigating its effect on the oxygen evolution reaction remains a great challenge. Herein, oxygen vacancies are introduced into an amorphous N, P, and F tri‐doped CoFe₂O₄ using ionic liquid as a dopant. Simultaneously, ultrafine MoS₂ nanoclusters are anchored onto its surface to increase the specific surface area. The vacancy‐rich MoS₂/NPF‐CoFe₂O₄ exhibits an overpotential of 250 mV and a small Tafel slope of 41 mV dec^?1, which is the best spinel‐based oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts so far. The excellent performance is attributed to massive oxygen vacancies, amorphous structure, large surface area, and synergistic coupling effects among active species. Density‐functional theory calculations reveal that the electronic structure of the catalyst can be modulated in the presence of heteroatoms and MoS₂ nanoclusters, and then the energy barriers of intermediates are decreased as well, which enhances the OER performance. This design not only provides a simple strategy to construct amorphous structures with abundant oxygen vacancies using ionic liquid‐dopants, but also presents an in‐depth insight into the OER mechanism in alkaline solution.     

A High‐Performance Composite Electrode for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries

A composite electrode composed of reduced graphene oxide‐graphite felt (rGO‐GF) with excellent electrocatalytic redox reversibility toward V²⁺/V³⁺ and VO²⁺/VO₂⁺ redox couples in vanadium batteries was fabricated by a facile hydrothermal method. Compared with the pristine graphite felt (GF) electrode, the rGO‐GF composite electrode possesses abundant oxygen functional groups, high electron conductivity, and outstanding stability. Its corresponding energy efficiency and discharge capacity are significantly increased by 20% and 300%, respectively, at a high current density of 150 mA cm^?2. Moreover, a discharge capacity of 20 A h L^?1 is obtained with a higher voltage efficiency (74.5%) and energy efficiency (72.0%), even at a large current density of 200 mA cm^?2. The prepared rGO‐GF composite electrode holds great promise as a high‐performance electrode for vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB).     

An Efficient and Earth‐Abundant Oxygen‐Evolving Electrocatalyst Based on Amorphous Metal Borides

Cost‐effective and efficient oxygen‐evolving electrocatalysts are urgently required for energy storage and conversion technologies. In this work, an amorphous trimetallic boride nanocatalyst (Fe–Co–2.3Ni–B) prepared by a simple approach is reported as a highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalyst. It exhibits an overpotential (η) of 274 mV to deliver a geometric current density (j_geo) of 10 mA cm^?2, a small Tafel slope of 38 mV dec^?1, and excellent long‐term durability at a mass loading of 0.3 mg cm^?2. The impressive electrocatalytic performance originates from the unique amorphous multimetal–metalloid complex nanostructure. From application's point of view, this work holds great promise as this process is simple and allows for large‐scale production of cheap, yet efficient, material.     

Integration of FeOOH and Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework‐Derived Nanoporous Carbon as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for Water Oxidation

As a cost‐effective catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the potential use of FeOOH is hindered by its intrinsic poor electron conductivity. Here, the significant enhancement of OER activity and long‐term stability of electrodeposited FeOOH on zeolitic imidazolate framework‐derived N‐doped porous carbons (NPCs) are reported. In alkaline media, FeOOH/NPC supported on nickel foam as a 3D electrode delivers a current density of 100 mA cm^?2 at a small overpotential of 230 mV and exhibits a low Tafel slope of 33.8 mV dec^?1 as well as excellent durability, making it one of the most active OER catalysts. Such high performance is attributed to a combined effect of the excellent electron conductivity of NPC and the synergy between FeOOH and NiO derived from Ni substrate.     

Ni3Fe‐N Doped Carbon Sheets as a Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for Air Cathodes

A promising bifunctional electrocatalyst is reported for air cathodes consisting of Ni₃Fe nanoparticles embedded in porous nitrogen‐doped carbon sheets (Ni₃Fe/N‐C sheets) by a facile and effective pyrolysis‐based route with sodium chloride (NaCl) crystals as a template. The Ni₃Fe/N‐C sheets show excellent catalytic activity, selectivity, and durability toward both the oxygen‐reduction and oxygen‐evolution reactions (ORR and OER). They are shown to provide a superior, low‐cost cathode for a rechargeable Zn‐air battery. At a discharge–charge current density of 10 mA cm^?2, the Ni₃Fe/N‐C sheets enable a Zn–air battery to cycle steadily up to 420 h with only a small increase in the round‐trip overpotential, outperforming the more costly Pt/C + IrO₂ mixture catalyst (160 h). With the simplicity and scalability of the synthetic approach and its remarkable bifunctional electrocatalytic performance, the Ni₃Fe/N‐C sheets offer a promising rechargeable air cathode operating at room temperature in an alkaline electrolyte.     

High‐Performance Trifunctional Electrocatalysts Based on FeCo/Co2P Hybrid Nanoparticles for Zinc–Air Battery and Self‐Powered Overall Water Splitting

Currently, it is still a significant challenge to simultaneously boost various reactions by one electrocatalyst with high activity, excellent durability, as well as low cost. Herein, hybrid trifunctional electrocatalysts are explored via a facile one‐pot strategy toward an efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The catalysts are rationally designed to be composed by FeCo nanoparticles encapsuled in graphitic carbon films, Co₂P nanoparticles, and N,P‐codoped carbon nanofiber networks. The FeCo nanoparticles and the synergistic effect from Co₂P and FeCo nanoparticles make the dominant contributions to the ORR, OER, and HER activities, respectively. Their bifunctional activity parameter (?E) for ORR and OER is low to 0.77 V, which is much smaller than those of most nonprecious metal catalysts ever reported, and comparable with state‐of‐the‐art Pt/C and RuO₂ (0.78 V). Accordingly, the as‐assembled Zn–air battery exhibits a high power density of 154 mW cm^?2 with a low charge–discharge voltage gap of 0.83 V (at 10 mA cm^?2) and excellent stability. The as‐constructed overall water‐splitting cell achieves a current density of 10 mA cm^?2 (at 1.68 V), which is comparable to the best reported trifunctional catalysts.     

Multifunctional Single‐Crystallized Carbonate Hydroxides as Highly Efficient Electrocatalyst for Full Water splitting

The controllable synthesis of single‐crystallized iron‐cobalt carbonate hydroxide nanosheets array on 3D conductive Ni foam (FCCH/NF) as a monolithic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) bifunctional electrocatalyst for full water splitting is described. The results demonstrate that the incorporation of Fe can effectively tune the morphology, composition, electronic structure, and electrochemical active surface area of the electrocatalysts, thus greatly enhancing the intrinsic electrocatalytic activity. The optimal electrocatalyst (F_0.25C₁CH/NF) can deliver 10 and 1000 mA cm^?2 at very small overpotentials of 77 and 256 mV for HER and 228 and 308 mV for OER in 1.0 m KOH without significant interference from gas evolution. The F_0.25C₁CH‐based two‐electrode alkaline water electrolyzer only requires cell voltages of 1.45 and 1.52 V to achieve current densities of 10 and 500 mA cm^?2. The results demonstrate that such fascinating electrocatalytic activity can be ascribed to the increase in the catalytic active surface area, facilitated electron and mass transport properties, and the synergistic interactions because of the incorporation of Fe.     

Defect‐Engineered Ultrathin δ‐MnO2 Nanosheet Arrays as Bifunctional Electrodes for Efficient Overall Water Splitting

Recently, defect engineering has been used to intruduce half‐metallicity into selected semiconductors, thereby significantly enhancing their electrical conductivity and catalytic/electrocatalytic performance. Taking inspiration from this, we developed a novel bifunctional electrode consisting of two monolayer thick manganese dioxide (δ‐MnO₂) nanosheet arrays on a nickel foam, using a novel in‐situ method. The bifunctional electrode exposes numerous active sites for electrocatalytic rections and displays excellent electrical conductivity, resulting in strong performance for both HER and OER. Based on detailed structure analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the remarkably OER and HER activity of the bifunctional electrode can be attributed to the ultrathin δ‐MnO₂ nanosheets containing abundant oxygen vacancies lead to the formation od Mn³⁺ active sites, which give rise to half‐metallicity properties and strong H₂O adsorption. This synthetic strategy introduced here represents a new method for the development of non‐precious metal Mn‐based electrocatalysts for eddicient energy conversion.     

Single‐Crystalline Ultrathin Co3O4 Nanosheets with Massive Vacancy Defects for Enhanced Electrocatalysis

The role of vacancy defects is demonstrated to be positive in various energy‐related processes. However, introducing vacancy defects into single‐crystalline nanostructures with given facets and studying their defect effect on electrocatalytic properties remains a great challenge. Here this study deliberately introduces oxygen defects into single‐crystalline ultrathin Co₃O₄ nanosheets with O‐terminated {111} facets by mild solvothermal reduction using ethylene glycol under alkaline condition. As‐prepared defect‐rich Co₃O₄ nanosheets show a low overpotential of 220 mV with a small Tafel slope of 49.1 mV dec^?1 for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is among the best Co‐based OER catalysts to date and even more active than the state‐of‐the‐art IrO₂ catalyst. Such vacancy defects are formed by balancing with reducing environments under solvothermal conditions, but are surprisingly stable even after 1000 cycles of scanning under OER working conditions. Density functional theory plus U calculation attributes the enhanced performance to the oxygen vacancies and consequently exposed second‐layered Co metal sites, which leads to the lowered OER activation energy of 2.26 eV and improved electrical conductivity. This mild solvothermal reduction concept opens a new door for the understanding and future designing of advanced defect‐based electrocatalysts.     

Eutectic‐Derived Mesoporous Ni‐Fe‐O Nanowire Network Catalyzing Oxygen Evolution and Overall Water Splitting

The development of efficient and abundant water oxidation catalysts is essential for the large‐scale storage of renewable energy in the form of hydrogen fuel via electrolytic water splitting, but still remains challenging. Based upon eutectic reaction and dealloying inheritance effect, herein, novel Ni‐Fe‐O‐based composite with a unique mesoporous nanowire network structure is designed and synthesized. The composite exhibits exceptionally low overpotential (10 mA cm^?2 at an overpotential of 244 mV), low Tafel slope (39 mV dec^?1), and superior long‐term stability (remains 10 mA cm^?2 for over 60 h without degradation) toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1 m KOH. Moreover, an alkaline water electrolyzer is constructed with the Ni‐Fe‐O composite as catalyst for both anode and cathode. This electrolyzer displays superior electrolysis performance (affording 10 mA cm^?2 at 1.64 V) and long‐term durability. The remarkable features of the catalyst lie in its unique mesoporous nanowire network architecture and the synergistic effect of the metal core and the active metal oxide, giving rise to the strikingly enhanced active surface area, accelerated electron/ion transport, and further promoted reaction kinetics of OER.

Herein, a new modulation strategy is reported to the active moiety Fe? N₄ via a precise “single‐atom to single‐atom” grafting of a Pt atom onto the Fe center through a bridging oxygen molecule, creating a new active moiety of Pt₁? O₂? Fe₁? N₄. The modulated Fe? N? C exhibits remarkably improved ORR stabilities in acidic media. Moreover, it shows unexpectedly high catalytic activities toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), with overpotentials of 310 mV for OER in alkaline solution and 60 mV for HER in acidic media at a current density of 10 mA cm^?2, outperforming the benchmark RuO₂ and comparable with Pt/C(20%), respectively.

Ni Strongly Coupled with Mo2C Encapsulated in Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon Nanofibers as Robust Bifunctional Catalyst for Overall Water Splitting

It is urgently required to develop highly efficient and stable bifunctional non‐noble metal electrocatalysts for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for water splitting. In this study, a facile electrospinning followed by a post‐carbonization treatment to synthesize nitrogen‐doped carbon nanofibers (NCNFs) integrated with Ni and Mo₂C nanoparticles (Ni/Mo₂C‐NCNFs) as water splitting electrocatalysts is developed. Owing to the strong hydrogen binding energy on Mo₂C and high electrical conductivity of Ni, synergetic effect between Ni and Mo₂C nanoparticles significantly promote both HER and OER activities. The optimized hybrid (Ni/Mo₂C(1:2)‐NCNFs) delivers low overpotentials of 143 mV for HER and 288 mV for OER at a current density of 10 mA cm^?2. An alkaline electrolyzer with Ni/Mo₂C(1:2)‐NCNFs as catalysts for both anode and cathode exhibits a current density of 10 mA cm^?2 at a voltage of 1.64 V, which is only 0.07 V larger than the benchmark of Pt/C‐RuO₂ electrodes. In addition, an outstanding long‐term durability during 100 h testing without obvious degradation is achieved, which is superior to most of the noble‐metal‐free electrocatalysts reported to date. This work provides a simple and effective approach for the preparation of low‐cost and high‐performance bifunctional electrocatalysts for efficient overall water splitting.     

Interface Engineering of Hierarchical Branched Mo‐Doped Ni3S2/NixPy Hollow Heterostructure Nanorods for Efficient Overall Water Splitting

Rational design and construction of bifunctional electrocatalysts with excellent activity and durability is imperative for water splitting. Herein, a novel top‐down strategy to realize a hierarchical branched Mo‐doped sulfide/phosphide heterostructure (Mo‐Ni₃S₂/Ni_xP_y hollow nanorods), by partially phosphating Mo‐Ni₃S₂/NF flower clusters, is proposed. Benefitting from the optimized electronic structure configuration, hierarchical branched hollow nanorod structure, and abundant heterogeneous interfaces, the as‐obtained multisite Mo‐Ni₃S₂/Ni_xP_y/NF electrode has remarkable stability and bifunctional electrocatalytic activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER)/oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1 m KOH solutions. It possesses an extremely low overpotential of 238 mV at the current density of 50 mA cm^?2 for OER. Importantly, when assembled as anode and cathode simultaneously, it merely requires an ultralow cell voltage of 1.46 V to achieve the current density of 10 mA cm^?2, with excellent durability for over 72 h, outperforming most of the reported Ni‐based bifunctional materials. Density functional theory results further confirm that the doped heterostructure can synergistically optimize Gibbs free energies of H and O‐containing intermediates (OH*, O*, and OOH*) during HER and OER processes, thus accelerating the catalytic kinetics of electrochemical water splitting. This work demonstrates the importance of the rational combination of metal doping and interface engineering for advanced catalytic materials.
