The rational design of highly active and stable electrocatalysts toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is highly desirable but challenging in seawater electrolysis. Herein we propose a strategy of boron-doped three-dimensional NiP-MoO heterostructure microrod arrays that exhibit excellent catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution in both alkaline freshwater and seawater electrolytes. The incorporation of boron into NiP-MoO heterostructure microrod arrays could modulate the electronic properties, thereby accelerating the HER. Consequently, the B-NiP-MoO heterostructure microrod array electrocatalyst exhibits a superior catalyst activity for HER with low overpotentials of 155, 155, and 157 mV at a current density of 500 mA cm in 1 M KOH, 1 M KOH + NaCl, and 1 M KOH + seawater, respectively. It also exhibits exceptional performance for HER in natural seawater with a low overpotential of 248 mV at 10 mA cm and a long-lasting lifetime of over 100 h.

Photonic heterostructures with codable properties have shown great values as versatile information carriers at the micro- and nanoscale. These heterostructures are typically prepared by a step-by-step growth or post-functionalization method to achieve varied emission colors with different building blocks. In order to realize high-throughput and multivariate information loading, we report here a strategy to integrate polarization signals into photonic heterojunctions.

Key Laboratory for Advanced Technology in Environmental Protection of Jiangsu Province, Yancheng Institute of Technology, Yancheng 224051, P. R. China.

The construction of Z-scheme heterostructures using matching band semiconductors is an effective strategy for producing highly efficient photocatalysts. In this study, MgInS(MIS) was grown in situ on InO microrods created with an In-based MOF material (In-MIL-68) as a template to successfully establish a unique MIS-InO heterojunction with a well-matched Z-scheme interface charge transfer channel. Tetracycline (TC) as a typical antibiotic was chosen as the target pollutant to evaluate the photocatalytic activity.

Halide perovskites are materials for future optical displays and solar cells. Electron donor-acceptor perovskite heterostructures with distinguishing halide compositions are promising for transporting and harvesting photogenerated charge carriers. Combined e-beam lithography and anion exchange are promising to develop such heterostructures but challenging to prepare multiple heterojunctions at desired locations in single crystals.
