Summary: Promoting the initially deficient but economical catalysts to high-performing competitors is important for developing superior catalysts. This work focuses on intrinsic catalytic activity enhancement via heteroatom doping strategies, which alter lattice distortion and optimize spin-dependent orbital interaction to improve charge transfer between catalysts and reactants. Experimental results show that fluorine-doped lanthanum cobaltate exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity in oxygen evolution reaction and oxygen reduction reaction. Theoretical calculations reveal that the enhanced performance is attributed to the spin state transition of Co3+ and the upshift of the d-band center due to F atom incorporation.

The V-Ti on BTO nanosheets induced electron spin polarization, increasing the number of spin-down photogenerated electrons and reducing electron-hole pair recombination. The active surface V-Ti served as a center for adsorbing O2 and extracting electrons, effectively generating (OH)-O-circle, O-2 (circle-), and O-1(2).

Summary: In this study, we highlight the important role of spin polarization in proton-transfer-mediated water oxidation over a magnetized catalyst. The electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) over ferrimagnetic Fe3O4 exhibited a significant increase in current when subjected to an external magnetic field, with a 20-fold higher increment at weakly alkaline pH (pH 9) compared to strongly alkaline conditions (pH 14). Surface modification experiments and H/D kinetic isotope effect investigations revealed that the magnetized Fe3O4 catalyst polarizes the spin states of nucleophilic attacking intermediates during the nucleophilic attack of Fe-IV=O by molecular water at weakly alkaline pH. The synergistic occurrence of spin-enhanced singlet O-H cleavage and triplet O-O bonding promotes O-2 generation more significantly than the case involving only spin-enhanced O-O bonding under strongly alkaline conditions.

Summary: The magnetization of magnetic catalysts promotes their activity towards the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the source of this enhancement has been unclear. It was thought that the spin polarization promoted OER occurs on the magnetic domains, but the enhancement should have occurred without magnetization. This study demonstrates that the enhancement actually comes from the disappeared domain wall upon magnetization. The domain wall reformats into a single domain, facilitating the OER and resulting in an overall increment on the electrode.

Summary: The relationship between the electronic states of active centers and the catalytic activities is generally difficult to understand. In this study, two types of catalysts were designed for electrocatalytic urea in metal-organic frameworks: -CuIII- HHTP and -CuII- HHTP. The -CuIII-HHTP catalyst exhibited enhanced urea production rate and Faradaic efficiency compared to -CuII-HHTP. Isolated -CuIII species with S = 0 spin ground state were identified as the active center in -CuIII-HHTP, while -CuII with S = 1/2 were found in -CuII-HHTP. The different electronic states of the active centers led to variations in the migration pathways during the C-N coupling process.

Summary: High catalytic efficiency and long-term stability are crucial for the performance of an electrocatalyst. This study focuses on the correlation between stability and catalytic efficiency in the FeCoNiRu high-entropy alloy (HEA). The HEA catalyst not only shows high efficiency in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), but also maintains long-term stability. The outstanding stability is attributed to the spinel oxide surface layer formed during the evolution reactions, which preserves the active sites inherited from the HEA's intrinsic structure. This work provides valuable insights for the design and manufacturing of other metallic electrocatalysts and serves as a benchmark for evaluating their efficiency-stability relationship.

Summary: This study finds that the synthetic origin of nickel oxyhydroxides plays a crucial role in their activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). It is discovered that a stronger strain leads to a greater distortion of the NiO6 octahedron in NiOOH, resulting in significant broadening of the 3d electron states with e(g) symmetry. This band broadening facilitates electron transfer and enhances catalytic performance. By extending this concept to a NiFe oxyhydroxide system, the universality of this mechanism is demonstrated, providing insights for designing efficient OER electrocatalysts.

This study proposes a heterostructure catalyst, V-NiS/NiS2, which utilizes a self-equilibrium strategy to optimize the electron interactions between H/O-containing intermediates. The variable valences of Ni and V species enable controllable reorientation of electrons over the VSNi bond.

Summary: As a revolutionary chemical engineering, the electrocatalytic synthesis of ammonia (NH3) has become one alternative option for green hydrogen storage. However, the selection of element for single atom catalyst (SAC) is still perplexing despite the guidance of Sabatier principle. This study proposed a novel structure-activity correlation for nitric oxide reduction reaction (NORR) on single cluster catalyst (SCC), which not only enhances the activity as the cluster grows, but also breaks the consistent pattern of catalytic performance for designed SAC. By using DFT calculations, Co4@GaS was identified as a highly active catalyst with a rarely reported working potential of only-0.06 V. Moreover, a universal expression for handling free energy change was proposed by leveraging machine learning (ML) to analyze the activity descriptors obtained from elusive electronic characteristics. This work may open up new avenues for the rational and straightforward design of desirable catalysts and contribute to interdisciplinary development in chemistry.

Summary: The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in electrochemical water splitting is hindered by slow kinetics, but recent studies have shown that multimetallic catalysts and spin polarization in ferromagnetic materials can improve water electrolysis. In this study, the OER performance of amorphous FeNiCo-based multimetallic catalysts with adjustable composition was investigated from the perspective of atomic structure. The results indicate that the local structure of the catalysts greatly affects their OER activities, with catalysts containing high amounts of low coordination number Fe clusters exhibiting higher activity. Additionally, the OER activity is significantly enhanced in the presence of a magnetic field, with strong ferromagnetic catalysts showing overpotential reduction exceeding 20 mV compared to weak ferromagnetic ones. The catalyst with the strongest ferromagnetism achieved a 65.2% increase in turnover frequency. This research provides an effective approach for improving the water oxidation performance of amorphous ferromagnetic catalysts.
