The recent advancements of ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in the synthesis of cobalt-based catalysts for water splitting is reviewed. ILs and DESs possess unique physical and chemical properties, serving as solvents, templates, and reagents. Combined with calcination techniques, their advantages can be fully leveraged, enhancing the stability and activity of resulted catalysts. In these solvents, not only are they suitable for simple one-step calcination, but also applicable to more complex multi-step calcination, suitable for more complex reaction conditions. The designability of ILs and DESs allows them to participate in the reaction as reactants, providing metal and heteroatoms, simplifying the preparation system of cobalt phosphide, sulfide, and nitride. This work offers insights into design principles for electrocatalysts and practical guidance for the development of efficient and high-performance materials for hydrogen production and energy storage systems.

The oxidation of 5-HMF to HMFCA is an important yet complex process, as it generates high-value chemical intermediates. Achieving this transformation efficiently requires the development of non-precious, highly active catalysts derived from renewable biomass sources. In this work, we introduce UoM-1 (UoM, University of Mazandaran), a novel cobalt-based metal-organic framework (Co-MOF) synthesized using a simple one-step ultrasonic irradiation method.

Cyclohexanone oxime, a critical precursor for nylon-6 production, is traditionally synthesized via the hydroxylamine method under industrial harsh conditions. Here is present a one-step electrochemical integrated approach for the efficient production of cyclohexanone oxime under ambient conditions. This approach employed the coupling of in situ electro-synthesized HO over a cobalt (Co)-based electrocatalyst with the titanium silicate-1 (TS-1) heterogeneous catalyst to achieve the cyclohexanone ammoximation process.

Four cobalt-based metal-organic frameworks (Co-MOFs) based on different ligands with varying electron-donating properties (dpt = 2,5-di(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole, NH₂bdc = 5-aminoisophthalic acid, OHbdc = 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid, H₂tdc = thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid, and hfipbb = 4,4'-(hexafluoropropane-2,2-diyl)bisbenzoic acid) are synthesized. Among them, Co-dpt-NH₂bdc demonstrates the highest nitrogen reduction reaction activity, achieving an ammonia (NH) yield of 68.61 µg·h⁻¹·mg⁻¹ and Faraday efficiency (FE) of 6.

High-temperature carbonization typically used in the preparation of advanced electrocatalysts poses significant challenges in preserving abundant functional groups essential for reactant adsorption and component stabilization. To address this, a solvothermal synthesis followed by non-carbonization annealing approach is proposed to fabricate a series of cobalt-based organic-inorganic hybrids derived from cobalt-based glycerate nanospheres (GNs). Notably, annealing in phosphorous and inert atmospheres preserves the solid nanospherical structure, whereas treatment in sulfur-rich environments results in the formation of hollowed nanospheres.
