Herein, a series of FeOx-MoP@MWCNT composite electrocatalysts was designed and prepared to investigate the influence of the content of FeOx on the water splitting performance. The optimized FeOx-MoP@MWCNTs-2 exhibits excellent hydrogen and oxygen evolution reaction activity while a cell voltage of 1.51 V with outstanding stability is attained, attributed to the synergistic effect of each component, as evidenced by the experimental and density functional theory results. The observed electrocatalytic activity outperforms current state-of-the-art non-precious metal electrocatalysts.

Interfacial hydrogen bonds are pivotal in enhancing proton activity and accelerating the kinetics of proton-coupled electron transfer during electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Here we propose a novel FeCr bimetallic atomic sites catalyst supported on a honeycomb-like porous carbon layer, designed to optimize the microenvironment for efficient electrocatalytic ORR through the induction of interfacial hydrogen bonds. Characterizations, including X-ray absorption spectroscopy and in situ infrared spectroscopy, disclose the rearrangement of delocalized electrons due to the formation of FeCr sites, which facilitates the dissociation of interfacial water molecules and the subsequent formation of hydrogen bonds.

In situ electrochemical liquid phase transmission electron microscopy (LP-TEM) measurements utilize micro-chip three-electrode cells with electron transparent silicon nitride windows that confine the liquid electrolyte. By imaging electrocatalysts deposited on micro-patterned electrodes, LP-TEM provides insight into morphological, phase structure, and compositional changes within electrocatalyst materials under electrochemical reaction conditions, which have practical implications on activity, selectivity, and durability. Despite LP-TEM capabilities becoming more accessible, in situ measurements under electrochemical reaction conditions remain non-trivial, with challenges including electron beam interactions with the electrolyte and electrode, the lack of well-defined experimental workflows, and difficulty interpreting particle behavior within a liquid.

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) can accelerate the sluggish kinetics of vanadium redox reaction, but face challenges like limited active sites and difficulties in nanometerization, highlighting the urgent need for new TMO electrocatalysts for vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). CoMoO features high electrochemical activity, numerous redox sites, flexible control, and short electron pathways. Herein, a high catalytic and super stable graphite felt electrode modified in situ with network cross-linking CoMoO nanosheets (CoMoO@GF) was prepared via hydrothermal and heat treatment method to enhance VRFB performance.

Polysulfide shuttling and dendrite growth are two primary challenges that significantly limit the practical applications of lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). Herein, a three-in-one strategy for a separator based on a localized electrostatic field is demonstrated to simultaneously achieve shuttle inhibition of polysulfides, catalytic activation of the Li-S reaction, and dendrite-free plating of lithium ions. Specifically, an interlayer of polyacrylonitrile nanofiber (PNF) incorporating poled BaTiO (PBTO) particles and coating with a layer of MoS (PBTO@PNF-MoS) is developed on the PP separator.

Developing economical, efficient, and earth-rich electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is quite challenging and ideal. We propose that [PWO] as the guest, due to its excellent reversible 18 electron-transfer capacity and redox properties, and then TM-BDC (TM = Ni, Co, Fe, BDC = 1,4-benzene-dicarboxylate) as the host make [PWO] packaged and not escape due to its porous structure. Benefiting from strong redox-competent interactions between [PWO] and porous structures of TM-BDC and full exposure of abundant active sites, three {PW}@TM-BDC composites exhibited excellent HER activity, with {PW}@Ni-BDC requiring 198 mV (overpotentials) and 104 mV/dec (Tafel slope) for HER.
