In this paper, PrSrCoRuO perovskite oxides were synthesized by the sol-gel method as bifunctional catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The overpotentials of PSCR0.05 against HER and OER at 10 mA cm were 319 and 321 mV in alkaline medium, respectively. The Tafel slopes of HER and OER were 87.32 and 118.1 mV/dec, respectively. PSCR0.05 showed the largest electrochemical active area, the smallest charge transfer resistance, and excellent long-term durability. Meanwhile, the PSCR0.05 electrocatalyst was applied for overall water splitting and its cell voltage was maintained at 1.77 V at 10 mA cm. The super-exchange interaction between adjacent RuO-CoO octahedra in perovskite made of PSCR0.05 contains sufficient active sites (such as Co/Co, Ru/Ru, and O/O). The increase of surface oxygen vacancy and active site is the main reason for the improvement of difunctional catalyst performance. In this work, the electrocatalytic performance of perovskite-type oxides was further optimized by the method of A- and B-site cationic doping regulation, which provides a new idea for perovskite-type bifunctional electrocatalysts.

The efficient utilization of lignin, a pivotal component of lignocellulosic biomass, is crucial for advancing sustainable biorefinery processes. However, optimizing lignin valorization remains challenging due to its intricate structure and susceptibility to undesirable reactions during processing. In this study, we delve into the impact of various pretreatment agents on birch lignin, aiming to enhance its catalytic oxidation and depolymerization under polyoxometalates (POMs) catalysis.

The pursuit of efficient and economical catalysts for water splitting, a critical step in hydrogen production, has gained momentum with the increasing demand for sustainable energy. Among the various electrocatalysts developed to date, cobalt oxide (CoO) has emerged as a promising candidate owing to its availability, stability, and catalytic activity. However, intrinsic limitations, including low catalytic activity and poor electrical conductivity, often hinder its effectiveness in electrocatalytic water splitting.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which involves a four-electron transfer and slow kinetics, requires an efficient catalyst to overcome the high energy barrier for high-performance water electrolysis. In this paper, a novel NiS@V-NiFe(III) LDH/NF catalyst was prepared via a facile two-step hydrothermal method. The constructed heterostructure of NiS@V-NiFe(III) LDH increases the specific surface area and regulates the electronic structure.
