Article Abstract
Next-generation electrocatalysts with smart integrated designs, maximizing the chemical cascade synergy for sustainable hydrogen production, are needed to address the urgent environmental threats, but scalable synthesis of precisely architectured nanohybrids rendering a few-nanometer interfacial controllability to augment the catalytic reactivity and operational stability is a major bottleneck. Herein, by inventing a surface-confined lateral growth of nanometer-thin and nanoporous two-dimensional (2D)-Pt on NiFe-LDH nanosheets, a highly reactive 2D-2D interfacially integrated nanoplatform is synthesized for an alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) which not only extracts high Pt-atomic utilization efficiency but also synergistically accelerates the water dissociation and hydrogen generation cascade on the colocalized Pt/M(OH) active sites, endowing a 6.1-fold higher Pt mass activity than 20% Pt/C and also empowers a record-high HER operational stability for 50 h, due to the chemically enforced lamellar architecture. This work offers a gateway to produce active metal nanosheets tailored with a suitable active-template surface in order to invent and enforce futuristic catalysis technologies.

Enhancing anodic hydroxyl (OH) coverage and suppressing leaching of active metal sites are essential for developing efficient and durable alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts. Herein, we propose amorphous cerium oxide (CeO)-mediated amorphous/crystalline heterointerface engineering to enhance OH coverage and leaching resistance in CeO/Mo-NiS for high-performance OER. CeO with an oxyphilic surface facilitates OH adsorption, promoting in situ reconstruction of NiS into nickel hydroxyl oxide (NiOOH) with significantly enhanced OH coverage and thereby accelerating OER kinetics.

The sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline water electrolysis lead to high overpotentials, limiting cost-effective green hydrogen production. Ni-based catalysts, recognized as promising OER electrocatalysts, require electronic structure modulation to enhance performance. However, under oxidizing conditions, Ni-based materials undergo surface reconstruction with significant electronic alterations, rendering bulk-phase studies less practical.

Developing highly active and stable nonprecious electrocatalysts toward sluggish alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for large-scale green hydrogen production via electrochemical water splitting. Here we report phase and surface co-reconstruction of S-doped (NiCo)WC nanoparticles into (NiCo)C with amorphous electroactive NiCoOOH layer for highly efficient alkaline OER by W dissolution and NiCo surface oxidation. The W dissolution results in the formation of Brønsted base WO ions, which electrostatically accumulate around electrode to promote water dissociation into abundant OH* intermediates, in situ constructing a locally strong alkaline microenvironment to facilitate OH* adsorption on NiCoOOH sites and trigger lattice-oxygen oxidation path.
