The development of a competent (pre)catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to produce green hydrogen is critical for a carbon-neutral economy. In this aspect, the low-temperature, single-source precursor (SSP) method allows the formation of highly efficient OER electrocatalysts, with better control over their structural and electronic properties. Herein, a transition metal (TM) based chalcogenide material, nickel sulfide (NiS), is prepared from a novel molecular complex [Ni (PyHS) ][OTf] (1) and utilized as a (pre)catalyst for OER. The NiS (pre)catalyst requires an overpotential of only 255 mV to reach the benchmark current density of 10 mA cm and shows 63 h of chronopotentiometry (CP) stability along with over 95% Faradaic efficiency in 1 m KOH. Several ex situ measurements and quasi in situ Raman spectroscopy uncover that NiS irreversibly transformed to a carbonate-intercalated γ-NiOOH phase under the alkaline OER conditions, which serves as the actual active structure for the OER. Additionally, this in situ formed active phase successfully catalyzes the selective oxidation of alcohol, aldehyde, and amine-based organic substrates to value-added chemicals, with high efficiencies.

A highly dispersed carbonate-intercalated Cu -Al layered double hydroxide (CuAl LDH) was created on an unreactive α-Al O surface (CuAl LDH@α-Al O ) via a simple coprecipitation method of Cu and Al under alkaline conditions in the presence of α-Al O . A highly reducible CuO nanoparticles was generated, accompanied by the formation of CuAl O on the surface of α-Al O (CuAlO@α-Al O ) after calcination at 1073 K in air, as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Cu K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES). The structural changes during the progressive heating process were monitored by using in-situ temperature-programmed synchrotron XRD (tp-SXRD).

Despite the importance of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) in catalysis, medicine and water treatment, the crystallisation process of these materials is seldom investigated. In this study, characterisation techniques granted unprecedented experimental access to the formation dynamics of carbonate-intercalated Mg/Al LDHs as model system when applying the most relevant co-precipitation approaches by exploring the effects of temperature and concentration of reactants. For this purpose, a combinatorial multi-modal characterisation approach was applied involving measurements of pH, ion conductivity and light scattering, as well as synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction (XRD).
