Fe-doping induced electronic structure reconstruction in Ni-based metal-organic framework for improved energy-saving hydrogen production via urea degradation

Xingxiu Zhang et al.

Summary: Urea-assisted water electrolysis is an energy-saving strategy for hydrogen production and wastewater treatment. The key to solving these challenges lies in efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for urea oxidation reaction (UOR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this study, Fe-doped Ni-based MOF nanosheet arrays (FeNi-MOF NSs) were synthesized through a one-step hydrothermal method for efficient urea-assisted water electrolysis. The FeNi-MOF NSs achieved high current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm-2 at overpotentials of 131 and 155 mV, respectively, in UOR. The excellent UOR performance was attributed to electronic structure reconstruction induced by Fe-doping in the MOF, which promoted the formation of abundant high-valence Ni active centers for UOR and created more electronic states with optimized adsorption energies for reactant and product molecules on the surface, benefiting the UOR kinetics. The FeNi-MOF NSs were also used for HER, and a urea electrolyzer was assembled with a low cell voltage and excellent stability during long-term electrolysis.

Non-noble Metal Electrocatalysts for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Water Electrolysis

Huimin Wu et al.

Summary: Water electrolysis is a sustainable method for hydrogen production using clean energy sources, but the slow kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) result in low efficiency of electrolysis devices. Current electrocatalysts, which use noble metals like platinum for catalyzing HER and OER, face limitations due to their abundance and high cost. Therefore, the focus has shifted towards developing high-performance and cost-effective non-noble metal electrocatalysts as an alternative.

Seawater electrocatalysis: activity and selectivity

Sakila Khatun et al.

Summary: Seawater is considered a major hydrogen reservoir, but the presence of multielements and interference in electrochemistry, particularly chlorine chemistry, make electrocatalytic water splitting challenging. To achieve sustainable seawater electrolysis, focus should not only on electrocatalyst activity but also on selective oxygen evolution reaction to suppress corrosive chlorine chemistry.

Understanding the Mechanism of the Oxygen Evolution Reaction with Consideration of Spin

Xiaoning Li et al.

Summary: This article discusses the electron behavior during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by considering the spin attribute, highlighting the high requirements on the spin structure of electrocatalysts. Understanding the coupling between spin, charge, orbital, and lattice parameters is necessary for optimizing geometric and electronic structures in transition metal systems. It also explores the potential dependency of OER efficiency on the electrocatalyst spin configuration and the relevance of factors like crystal field, coordination, oxidation, bonding, electron number, conductivity, and magnetism with spin.
