The development of electrocatalysts is of vital importance to the OER. In this work, an optimized MOF electrode, Ir-NiFe-btz/NF, was synthesized by incorporating ultralow levels of Ir nanoparticles into an ionic bimetallic MOF. Under alkaline conditions, the prepared MOF electrode demonstrated outstanding OER activity and stability with a low overpotential of 182 mV to reach 10 mA cm and no obvious increase of overpotential in a chronovoltammetry test over 100 hours at 100 mA cm.

The chemistry of the extracellular electron transfer (EET) process in microorganisms can be understood by interfacing them with abiotic materials that act as external redox mediators. These mediators capture and transfer extracellular electrons through redox reactions, bridging the microorganism and the electrode surface. Understanding this charge transfer process is essential for designing biocapacitors capable of modulating and storing charge signatures as capacitance at the electrode interface.

Achieving high battery performance from low-cost, easily synthesisable electrode materials is crucial for advancing energy storage technologies. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) combining inexpensive transition metals and organic ligands are promising candidates for high-capacity cathodes. Iron-chloranilate-water frameworks are herein reported to be produced in aqueous media under mild conditions.

Rational exploration of cost-effective, durable, and high-performance electrode materials is imperative for advancing the progress of capacitive deionization (CDI). The integration of multicomponent layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with conjugated conductive metal-organic frameworks (c-MOFs) to fabricate bifunctional heterostructure electrode materials is considered a promising strategy. Herein, the fabrication of hierarchical conductive MOF/LDH/CF nanoarchitectures (M-CAT/LDH/CF) as CDI anodes via a controllable grafted-growth strategy is reported.

Designing and constructing hierarchically structured materials with heterogeneous compositions is the key to developing an effective catalyst for overall water-splitting applications. Herein, we report the fabrication of hollow-structured selenium-doped nickel-cobalt hybrids on carbon paper as a self-supported electrode (denoted as Se-Ni|Co/CP, where Ni|Co hybrids consist of nickel-cobalt alloy-incorporated nickel-cobalt oxide). The procedure involves direct growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) on bimetal-based nickel-cobalt hydroxide (NiCoOH) electrodeposited on CP, followed by selenous etching and pyrolysis to obtain the final Se-Ni|Co/CP electrocatalytic system.

Electrochemical energy storage plays a critical role in the transition to clean energy. With the growing demand for efficient and sustainable energy solutions, supercapacitors have gained significant attention due to their high specific capacitance, rapid charge/discharge capabilities, long lifespan, safe operation across various temperatures, and minimal maintenance needs. This study introduces a novel approach for the synthesis of high-performance supercapacitor electrodes by using MnNi-MOF-74 as a precursor.
