Development of efficient electrocatalysts for water splitting can be a significant step toward green hydrogen generation. In this work, a remarkable enhancement of electrocatalytic properties is achieved through the incorporation of oxygen-vacancies in a perovskite oxide, while maintaining the same structural framework. The oxygen-deficient material LaMnCoO (LaMnCoO) is isostructural to the parent stoichiometric material, but shows drastically enhanced electrocatalytic properties for both half-reactions of water-splitting, namely hydrogen-evolution and oxygen-evolution reactions, due to the oxygen-vacancies.

The preparation and modification of porous electrodes are an important component of the new generation electrochemical oxidation technology. Rapid preparation of porous electrodes can be easily achieved by synchronous oxygen bubble electrodeposition. However, according to the reaction mechanism of lead dioxide anodic electrodeposition, there is bound to be a competitive reaction of adsorbed hydroxyl radicals in the oxygen bubble template method, which means that synchronous OER impacts both the surface morphology and potentially the crystalline structure of the metal oxides.

Water electrolysis is a green method of storing electrical energy in the chemical bonds of high-energy hydrogen gas (H). However, the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) requires a significant kinetic overpotential, limiting the electrolysis rate. Recently, plasmonic gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have been introduced to improve charge transfer at the interface between the OER electrocatalysts and the electrolyte under light illumination.

The electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CORR) is an attractive method for converting atmospheric CO into value-added chemicals and fuels. In order to overcome the low efficiency and durability that hinder its practical application, a significant amount of research has been dedicated to designing novel catalysts at the nanoscale and even the atomic scale. Two-dimensional (2D) monolayer materials inherit the merits of both 2D materials and single-atom materials.

Titania (TiO) is one of promising photo catalysts for its high ability to resistant photo corrosion and environmental friendliness, but its photocatalytic activity is too low to be used in industry. To find an approach to solve this problem, graphene oxide (GO), tungsten trioxide (WO) and TiO composite with hollow mesoporous structure was prepared by a two-step spray drying method. The composite was used as raw material to constitute a membrane onto ITO glass to form a membrane photo-anode.

Elucidating the catalytic properties of metal nanoclusters (NCs) with essentially the same structure but different core metals is of fundamental interest. Our current studies have demonstrated that the thiolated Ag(SR) NC exhibits SR ligand leaching dynamics and electrocatalytic activity in CO reduction distinct from those of its Au(SR) NC structural analogue.
