Abstract

Amorphous two-dimensional transition metal oxide/(oxy)hydroxide (2D TMO/TMHO) nanomaterials (NMs) have the properties of both 2D and amorphous materials, displaying outstanding physicochemical qualities. Therefore, they demonstrate considerable promise for use in electrocatalytic water splitting applications. Here, the primary amorphization strategies for achieving the 2D TMO/TMHO NMs are comprehensively reviewed, including low-temperature reaction, rapid reaction, exchange/doping effect, ligand modulation, and interfacial energy confinement. By integrating these strategies with various physicochemical synthesis methods, it is feasible to control the amorphization of TMO/TMHO NMs while maintaining the distinctive benefits of their 2D structures. Furthermore, it delves into the structural advantages of amorphous 2D TMO/TMHO NMs in electrocatalytic water splitting, particularly emphasizing recent advancements in enhancing their electrocatalytic performance through interface engineering. The challenges and potential future directions for the precise synthesis and practical application of amorphous 2D TMO/TMHO NMs are also provided. This review aims to establish a theoretical foundation and offer experimental instructions for developing effective and enduring electrocatalysts for water splitting.

二维过渡金属氧化物/（氧）氢氧化物纳米材料增强电催化水分解的非晶化策略

非晶态二维过渡金属氧化物/（氧）氢氧化物（2D TMO/TMHO）纳米材料（NMs）具有二维和非晶态材料的特性，具有优异的物理化学性能。因此，它们在电催化水分解应用中表现出相当大的前景。本文综述了制备二维TMO/TMHO纳米材料的主要非晶化策略，包括低温反应、快速反应、交换/掺杂效应、配体调制和界面能约束。通过将这些策略与各种物理化学合成方法相结合，可以控制TMO/TMHO纳米材料的非晶化，同时保持其二维结构的独特优势。此外，本文还深入探讨了非晶二维TMO/TMHO纳米材料在电催化水分解方面的结构优势，特别强调了通过界面工程提高其电催化性能的最新进展。指出了二维非晶TMO/TMHO纳米材料的精确合成和实际应用所面临的挑战和潜在的未来发展方向。本文旨在为开发高效、耐用的水裂解电催化剂奠定理论基础和实验指导。图形抽象
