Hollow hetero-nanosheet arrays have attracted great attention due to their efficient catalytic abilities for water splitting. We successfully fabricated ZIF-67-derived hollow CoMoS/MoS nanosheet arrays on carbon cloth through a two-step heating-up hydrothermal method, in which the MoS nanosheets were suitably distributed on the surface of the hollow CoMoS nanosheet arrays. There was a distinct synergistic effect between CoMoS and MoS, and a large number of defective and disordered interfaces were formed, which improved the charge transfer rate and provided abundant electrochemical active sites. CMM 0.5, with the optimal Mo doping concentration of 0.5 mmol, exhibited the best catalytic properties. The overpotential values of CMM 0.5 at 10 mA cm were only 107 and 169 mV for the HER and OER, respectively, and it had nearly 100% faradaic efficiency. A dual-electrode electrolytic cell assembled with CMM 0.5 required a voltage of only 1.507 V at 10 mA cm for overall water splitting, and it displayed remarkable long-term durable bifunctional stability.

Rational exploration of cost-effective, durable, and high-performance electrode materials is imperative for advancing the progress of capacitive deionization (CDI). The integration of multicomponent layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with conjugated conductive metal-organic frameworks (c-MOFs) to fabricate bifunctional heterostructure electrode materials is considered a promising strategy. Herein, the fabrication of hierarchical conductive MOF/LDH/CF nanoarchitectures (M-CAT/LDH/CF) as CDI anodes via a controllable grafted-growth strategy is reported.

Constructing a built-in electric field (BIEF) within heterostructures has emerged as a compelling strategy for advancing electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Herein, the p-n type nanosheet array heterojunction NiP-NCDs-Co(OH)-NF are successfully prepared. The variation in interaction affinity between nitrogen within N-doped carbon dots (NCDs) and Ni/Co induces charge redistribution between Co and Ni in the NiP-NCDs-Co(OH)-NF-3 heterostructure, thereby enhancing the intensity of the BIEF, facilitating electron transfer, and markedly improving OER activity.

Electrochemical nitrite (NO) is a promising technology for NO removal and a sustainable method for generating valuable ammonia (NH), but this process is intricate and generates other byproducts. In this work, we propose a facile and low-cost method for the preparation of a CuMoO nanosheet array, which can serve as an efficient electrocatalyst for the reduction of NO to NH. The morphology of CuMoO can be adjusted by controlling the synthesis conditions.

Rational regulation of active hydrogen (*H) behavior is crucial for advancing electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NORR) to ammonia (NH), yet in-depth understanding of the *H generation, transfer, and utilization remains ambiguous, and explorations for *H dynamic optimization are urgently needed. Herein we engineer a NiN nanosheet array intimately decorated with Cu nanoclusters (NF/NiN-Cu) for remarkably boosted NORR. From comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigations, the NiN moieties favors water dissociation to generate *H, and then *H can rapidly transfer to the Cu via unique reverse hydrogen spillover mediating interfacial Ni-N-Cu bridge bond, thus increasing *H coverage on the Cu site for subsequent deoxygenation/hydrogenation.
