Developing efficient and noble metal-minimized electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reactions (OER) is critical for energy conversion reactions. Here we present Ru-minimized BiRuO@MOF-801 that synergistically combines the high catalytic activity of the bimetallic oxide with the unique structural and hydrophilic properties of the Zr-MOF. The composite achieves superior OER performance with a low overpotential of 307 mV at 50 mA cm and a Tafel slope of 99.8 mV dec surpassing those of pure BiRuO and MOF-801. Comparative testing with cutting-edge catalysts shows that using less Ru and incorporating a MOF work well together, providing a promising way to make high-performance OER catalysts that are also cost-effective by integrating the MOF for energy applications.

Ni-Fe (oxy)hydroxides are among the most active oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts in alkaline media. However, achieving precise control over local asymmetric Fe-O-Ni active sites in Ni-Fe oxyhydroxides for key oxygenated intermediates' adsorption steric configuration regulation of the OER is still challenging. Herein, we report a two-step dealloying strategy to fabricate asymmetric Fe-O-Ni pair sites in the shell of NiOOH@FeOOH/NiOOH heterostructures from NiFe Prussian blue analogue (PBA) nanocubes, involving anion exchange and structure reconstruction.

The main bottleneck faced by traditional hydrogen production technology through water electrolysis lies in the high energy consumption of the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Combining the thermodynamically favorable ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) with the hydrogen evolution reaction provides a promising route to reduce the energy consumption of hydrogen production and generate high value-added products. In this study, a facile method was developed for nickel oxyhydroxide (NiOOH) fabrication.

The faradaic efficiency of the electro-synthesis of ammonia using the nitrate reduction reaction (NORR) relies on an electrocatalyst to hydrogenate NO and simultaneously suppress the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Due to the formation of a heterostructure, the faradaic efficiency of g-CN/BiO reaches 91.12% at -0.

The development of efficient and economical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts is highly desired, and cobalt-based nanomaterials are promising candidates. In this work, we tackle one key question for cobalt-assisted photocatalytic OER: What is the true active species of Co(OH) for the photocatalytic OER? Hence, we investigated photocatalytic OER on nanostructured Co(OH) and CoO for comparison. We found that there was a significant transformation of Co(OH) during the photocatalytic process with a [Ru(bpy)]/SO buffer.
