Ni-Fe-based electrode materials are promising candidates for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The synergy between Fe and Ni atoms is crucial in modulating the electronic structure of the active site to enhance electrochemical performance. Herein, a simple chemical immersion technique was used to grow Ni-Fe oxalate nanowires directly on a porous nickel foam substrate. The as-prepared Ni-Fe oxalate electrode exhibited an excellent electrochemical performance of the OER with ultralow overpotentials of 210 and 230 mV to reach 50 and 100 mA cm current densities, respectively, in a 1 M KOH aqueous solution. The excellent OER performance of this Ni-Fe oxalate electrode can be attributed to its bimetallic composition and nanowire structure, which leads to an efficient ionic diffusion, high electronic conductivity, and fast electron transfer. The overall analysis indicates a suitable approach for designing electrocatalysts applicable in energy conversion.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored how oxalate-based Ni-Fe metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) perform in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) using the ligand 2,2'-bpy to enhance catalytic efficiency.
- The transformation of the MOF structure involving [M(2,2'-bpy)] led to significantly improved OER performance, achieving a low overpotential of 220 mV in a KOH solution, outpacing standard oxalate-based Ni-Fe MOFs.
- However, too much 2,2'-bpy decreased catalytic activity, illustrating its dual role in either promoting or inhibiting reactions, and pointing to the importance of secondary ligands in optimizing catalytic performance.

There is a growing concern with waste minimization and the promotion of the circular economy. Within this framework, using membrane-equipped electrochemical systems, the electrochemical oxidation (EO) of organic compounds and simultaneous hydrogen (H) production can considerably improve the sustainability and economic viability of this process. Here, we propose an innovative-integrate electrochemical treatment strategy to maximize the economic benefits and sustainability of selectively producing organic acids and energy-saving H production from biomass platform compounds.

As the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) imposes a high energy barrier during electrochemical water splitting, designing highly efficient, stable, and cost-effective electrocatalysts for OERs is an ongoing challenge. In this study, we present a facile approach to prepare villi-shaped Ni-Fe hydroxides incorporated with oxalate derived from Ni-Fe oxalate through the precipitation growth and subsequent immersion in an alkaline solution. The electrode with an optimized Ni-Fe ratio improves the OER kinetics, on which the electronic structure of the active site is adjusted based on a mutual effect between the adjacent nickel and iron atoms.

A facile and cost effective acid leaching-coprecipitation method was developed to prepare spinel-type (Mg,Ni)(Fe,Al)O from saprolite laterite ore in large scale. The as-prepared (Mg,Ni)(Fe,Al)O exhibited excellent photo-Fenton-like catalytic activity in decomposing different kinds of organic dyes and antibiotic tetracycline in the present of oxalic acid (HCO). The influential factors of RhB degradation efficiency were investigated, including the (Mg,Ni)(Fe,Al)O dosage, HCO concentration and the intensity of simulated sunlight.
