Abstract Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) plays a key role in electrochemical splitting of water and it is urgent to develop high-performance and cost-effective OER catalysts. In this work, we report the synthesis of V-Co/CoO@C nanorod as highly efficient OER catalysts. The V 2 O 5 nanowire and metal organic framework composite leads to the successful preparation of the catalyst. The V 2 O 5 nanowire not only induces the formation of Co/CoO species, but also facilitates uniform V doping. When used as OER catalyst, the V-Co/CoO@C nanorod only needs a low overpotential of 320 mV to achieve a high current density of 10 mA·cm−2. Graphical abstract Unlabelled Image Highlights • Porous V-Co/CoO@C nanorod was synthesized by using a V 2 O 5 @ZIF-67 as precursor. • The V-Co/CoO@C nanorod shows high OER activity of 10 mA·cm−2 at a η value of 320 mV. • The use of V 2 O 5 lead to the formation of Co/CoO and V doping. • The Co/CoO species and uniform V doping contributed to its OER performance.

• MoO 2 @MoS 2 @Co 9 S 8 heterostructure nanorod by utilizing MoO 3 @ZIF-67 as a precursor. • The nanorod is assembled by 2D nanosheet with high electrochemical surface area. • The nanorod can serve as bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting. • The HER and OER overpotentials at 10 mA cm−2 are 160 mV and 310 mV. • The high performance is induced by the synergistic effect of the heterostructure. Developing low-cost and high-efficiency bifunctional catalysts for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to catalyze electrochemical overall water splitting is critical for the production of hydrogen. Herein, we develop an in-situ reduction and vulcanization strategy to prepare MoO 2 @MoS 2 @Co 9 S 8 heterostructure nanorods by utilizing MoO 3 @ZIF-67 as a precursor. The reduction of MoO 3 can produce more conductive MoO 2 , and the vulcanization reaction can produce highly active MoS 2 for the HER as well as highly active Co 9 S 8 for the OER. In addition, the MoS 2 anchor on the MoO 2 not only facilitates electron transfer, but also interacts with Co 9 S 8 to induce a synergic catalytic effect by the electron transfer between them. Moreover, the 2D nanosheet assembled heterostructure nanorods can provide a large electrochemical surface area. Therefore, the merits of the materials are fully utilized and outstanding catalytic performances are achieved. MoO 2 @MoS 2 @Co 9 S 8 can catalyze HER and OER effectively with overpotentials of 160 and 310 mV at 10 mA cm−2, indicating its bifunctional activity. In addition, the two electrode electrolyzer catalyzed by MoO 2 @MoS 2 @Co 9 S 8 can reach 10 mA cm−2 current density at a cell voltage of 1.62 V with very high stability, demonstrating its practical application for water splitting.

Designing efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is crucial for practical applications in water splitting and metal-air battery devices. Special structures of materials often bring in unprecedented catalytic activity. Herein, we first report the synthesis of CoMoO 4 nanotube by using MoO 3 @ZIF-67 nanorod. The CoMoO 4 nanotube shows high OER activity with a low overpotential of 315 mV delivering a current density of 10 mA cm−2. The electro-catalytic activity surpasses that of many Co and Mo-based catalysts. Furthermore, the strategy presented here is facile, and can be extended to the synthesis of other Mo-based nanotube materials for energy storage and conversion. Unlabelled Image • CoMoO 4 nanotube was prepared by using MOF composite as precursor for the first time. • The CoMoO 4 shows high a specific surface area of 157 m2 g−1. • The CoMoO 4 shows high OER activity of 10 mA cm−2 at an overpotential of 315 mV. • The CoMoO 4 also shows outstanding long-term electrochemical durability.

Developing high‐efficiency bifunctional electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to realize low‐cost water splitting is the premise for large‐scale production of hydrogen. The catalytic activity of an electrocatalysts greatly depends on its composition and structure. In this work, we report the preparation of hollow CoS2/MoS2 heterostructure using ZIF‐67 as the precursor. The ratio of Co and Mo are optimized to maximize the synergy of CoS2 and MoS2, due to their specific catalytic activity for OER and HER. The optimized CoS2/MoS2 exhibits good bifunctional catalytic activity in view of its low overpotentials for HER (170 mV) and OER (270 mV), as well as small cell voltage of 1.66 V for overall water splitting. This work provides a facile strategy to controllable fabrication of efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for renewable energy applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CoS 2 @MoS 2 @NiS 2 nano polyhedron with double-shelled structure was demonstrated to have multiple catalytic activity for HER, OER and ORR, which could serve as highly efficient catalysts for both rechargeable Zn-air batteries and overall water spitting. [Display omitted] • Double shelled hollow CoS 2 @MoS 2 @NiS 2 polyhedron was synthesized using a self-template method. • The CoS 2 @MoS 2 @NiS 2 exhibits multiple catalytic activity for HER, OER and ORR. • The CoS 2 @MoS 2 @NiS 2 exhibits a low HER overpotential of 156 mV at 10 mA cm−2. • The OER and ORR performance was demonstrated by rechargeable Zn-air battery. • The Zn-air battery can effectively drive water splitting device catalyzed by CoS 2 @MoS 2 @NiS 2. Electrocatalysts play important role in various energy conversion and storage devices. The catalytic performance of electrocatalysts can be enhanced through the increasement of intrinsic catalytic activity by optimizing electronic structure and the improvement of exposed active sites by designing proper nanostructures. In this work, CoS 2 @MoS 2 @NiS 2 nano polyhedron with double-shelled structure was prepared using metal organic framework as a precursor. Due to the rational integration of multifunctional active center, the strong electronic interaction of the various component, the high electrochemical surface area and shortened mass transport induced by the special structure, CoS 2 @MoS 2 @NiS 2 exhibits high catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Specifically, low overpotentials of 156 and 200 mV was achieved to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm−2 for HER and OER, and a high half-wave potential of 0.80 V was observed for ORR. More importantly, the Zn-air battery assembled by CoS 2 @MoS 2 @NiS 2 exhibits a high-power density of 80.28 mW cm−2 and could effectively drive overall water splitting. This work provides a new platform for designing multifunctional catalysts with high activity for energy conversion and storage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The family of transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides (collectively called MXenes) has been a thriving field since the first invention of Ti3C2Tx (MXene) in 2011. MXene is a new type of nanometer 2D sheet material, which exhibits great application potentials in various fields due to its multiple advantages such as high specific surface area, good electrical conductivity, and high mechanical strength. Electrocatalysis is regarded as the core of future clean energy conversion technologies, and MXene‐based materials provide inspiration for the design and preparation of electrocatalysts with high activity, high selectivity, and long loading life time. The applications of MXene‐based materials in electrocatalysis, including hydrogen evolution reaction, nitrogen reduction reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, carbon dioxide reduction reaction, and methanol oxidation reaction are summarized in this review. As a crucial session regarding experiments, the current safer and more environmentally friendly preparation methods of MXene are also discussed. Focusing on the materials design and enhancement methods, the key challenges and opportunities for MXene‐based materials as a next‐generation platform in both fundamental research and practical electrocatalysis applications are presented. This account serves to promote future efforts toward the development of MXenes and related materials in the electrocatalysis applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is an efficient strategy to convert solar energy into hydrogen energy, which is of significant importance to solve the issues of energies shortage and environmental pollution. Transition metal sulfides have been widely investigated owing to their high catalytic activity, appropriate band gap, and wide range of photo responsive capacity and low cost. At the same time, benefiting from their adjustable structure, high specific surface area and diverse metal centers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising precursors to prepare transition metal sulfides. In this paper, recent progress of transition metal sulfide photocatalytic materials derived from MOFs for hydrogen evolution are summarized. The effects of metal centers, nanostructure and band gap of the metal sulfides on their photocatalytic hydrogen evolution efficiency are discussed and the proposed reaction mechanisms are summarized. In addition, the challenges and development direction in this area are proposed to provide new guidance for the progress of MOFs-derived metal sulfides photocatalysts.

Transition-metal chalcogenides especially MoS 2 are promising candidates as highly efficient electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Nevertheless, the low conductivity and inert basal planes of MoS 2 limit its performance. In addition, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalytic activity of MoS 2 is low. In this work, we report the synthesis of self-supported 1 T-MoS 2 /Co 3 S 4 /Ni 3 S 2 nanoarrays for overall water splitting. 1 T-MoS 2 can enhance electron transfer during the reaction process. Meanwhile, abundant interfaces and defects exist in the heterogeneous catalysts, which can bring more active sites and result in strong interaction among the different components. As a result, the 1 T-MoS 2 /Co 3 S 4 /Ni 3 S 2 nanoarray exhibits low overpotentials of 50 and 240 mV is achieved at 10 mA cm−2 for HER and OER with very high stability. In addition, it can catalyze overall water splitting with a low cell voltage of 1.55 V and 100% Faradic efficiency, demonstrating its practical applications. The present work offers a new route for developing 1 T-MoS 2 based hybrid electrocatalysts with desirable surface and interface structure for energy storage and conversion.
