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.

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.
