Extensive researches have revealed the crucial role of local CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>O concentrations (or the adsorption of *CO and *H) close to the electrode/catalyst surface in manipulating multi-carbon generation pathways. In this mini reviews, we mainly summarized the recent progress of this field over the past five years. The modulating strategies for the hydrogen and carbon species ratio can be divided into three categories, i.e., catalyst morphology, electrolyte composition and mass transfer. The effectiveness of the aforementioned strategies in promoting multi-carbon product selectivity was discussed in detail from the perspectives of tuning the local CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>O concentrations and the subsequent thermodynamic- and kinetic-controlled *CO and *H ratios.

While FeWO<sub>4</sub> possesses favorable electrochemical properties and thermodynamic stability, its intrinsic semiconductor characteristics result in a relatively slow electron transfer rate, limiting the ORR catalytic activity. In this work, the electronic structure of FeWO<sub>4</sub> is significantly modulated by introducing phosphorus (P) atoms with abundant valence electrons. The P doping can adjust the electronic structure of FeWO<sub>4</sub> and then optimize oxygen-containing intermediates' absorption/desorption efficiency to achieve improved ORR activity. Furthermore, the sodium chloride template is utilized to construct a porous carbon framework for anchoring phosphorus-doped iron tungstate (P–FeWO<sub>4</sub>/PNC). The porous carbon skeleton provides numerous active sites for the absorption/desorption and redox reactions on the P–FeWO<sub>4</sub>/PNC surface and serves as mass transport channels for reactants and intermediates. The P–FeWO<sub>4</sub>/PNC demonstrates ORR performance (<i>E</i><sub>1/2</sub> = 0.86 V vs. RHE). Furthermore, the zinc–air batteries incorporating the P–FeWO<sub>4</sub>/PNC composite demonstrate an increased peak power density (172.2 mW·cm<sup>−2</sup>), high specific capacity (810.1 mAh·g<sup>−1</sup>), and sustained long-term cycling stability lasting up to 240 h.

In this paper, a simple strategy to fabricate NiSe nanoparticles enclosed in carbon hollow nanofibers (NiSe/C@CNF) is proposed, involving the preparation of Ni-precursor nanofibers by electrospinning, the coating of polydopamine and the formation of NiSe/C@CNF by calcination and selenization. The combination of NiSe nanoparticles and porous carbon hollow nanofibers creates a strong conductive environment, which enhances the dynamic ability of sodium-ion transport and improves charge storage capacity.

Currently, the approach of enlarging the interlayer distance to reduce electrostatic interactions has been commonly used to enhance the capacity and reduce Zn<sup>2+</sup> migration barriers.

In the present study, a <i>Z</i>-scheme heterostructured V<sub>O</sub>–Cu<sub>0.5</sub>Ni<sub>0.5</sub>O catalysts were constructed by introducing a plenteous phase interface and oxygen vacancy (Vo). The catalytic activity of as-prepared V<sub>O</sub>–Cu<sub>0.5</sub>Ni<sub>0.5</sub>O toward AB methanolysis has been improved dramatically with the assistance of visible light irradiation.

However, developing effective bifunctional electrocatalysts capable of driving the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains a formidable challenge. Addressing this, we introduce a novel built-in electric field (BEF) strategy to synthesize NiCoP–Co nanoarrays directly on Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub><i>x</i></sub> MXene substrates (NiCoP–Co/MXene). This approach leverages a significant work function difference (Δ<i>Φ</i>), propelling these nanoarrays as adept bifunctional electrocatalysts for comprehensive water splitting. MXene, in this process, plays a dual role. It acts as a conductive support, enhancing the catalyst’s overall conductivity, and facilitates an effective charge transport pathway, ensuring efficient charge transfer. Our study reveals that the BEF induces an electric field at the interface, prompting charge transfer from Co to NiCoP. This transfer modulates asymmetric charge distributions, which intricately control intermediates’ adsorption and desorption dynamics. Such regulation is crucial for enhancing the reaction kinetics of both HER and OER. Furthermore, under oxidative conditions, the NiCoP–Co/MXene catalyst undergoes a structural metamorphosis into Ni(Co) oxides/hydroxides/MXene, increasing OER performance. This research demonstrates the BEF’s role in fine-tuning interfacial charge redistribution and underscores its potential in crafting more sophisticated electrocatalytic designs.

Additionally, compared to a series of doped Sn-MOF, Zn-doped Sn-MOF exhibits the most exceptional electrochemical performance with a high reversible capacity of 1131 mAh·g<sup>−1</sup> and stable cycling performance at a current density of 0.5 A·g<sup>−1</sup>, delivering a capacity of 1065 mAh·g<sup>−1</sup> after 500 cycles. Zn-doping catalyzes the lithiation reaction between Sn-MOF and Li<sup>+</sup>, promoting their reaction kinetics during the first cycle. Furthermore, the Zn-doped Sn-MOF is inclined to form a thin and stable solid electrolyte interface film to maintain cyclic stability.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>","PeriodicalId":749,"journal":{"name":"Rare Metals","volume":"384 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142209194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
