Summary: Electrolytic water, metal-air cells, and fuel cells are key areas in the application of new energy. Developing highly active electrocatalysts is essential to overcome the limitations of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in these fields. Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have been widely used in ORR, OER, and HER due to their unique structure and large specific surface area. This review summarizes the recent progress of PBAs derived materials in electrocatalysis, including different preparation methods, regulatory strategies to improve the electrocatalytic activity, and future research directions.

Summary: Selective surface nitridation of self-supported Co oxide nanobushes was conducted to form the Co5.47N@Co oxide nanobushes catalyst electrode for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The nitridation process resulted in lattice expansion/distortion, rich oxygen vacancies, and promoted charge transfer on the catalyst's surface. Compared to Co oxide nanobushes, the Co5.47N@Co oxide nanobushes electrode exhibited better OER performances in alkaline electrolyte, with low overpotentials, high current densities, and stability for over 20 hours.

Summary: The Co3O4-MgO (CM) composite was synthesized by wet chemical method, which showed efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to the abundant oxygen vacancies and Co2+ concentration. Although MgO was inactive towards OER, it facilitated the formation of oxygen vacancies and Co2+ ions, accelerating OER kinetics. Physical studies and analytical techniques were used to investigate the morphology, crystalline structure, surface information, and chemical composition of the CM composite. The optimized CM-0.1 composite exhibited lower overpotential and higher electrochemical activity, indicating its enhanced OER performance.

Summary: Oxygen vacancies (Ov) engineering has been shown to greatly enhance electrocatalytic kinetics for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by improving electronic transport. However, the mechanism behind this enhancement is not well understood. In this study, we investigate the role of superficial Ov in enhancing the catalytic potential of NiFe layered double hydroxides for OER. We find that superficial Ov engineering significantly reduces the charge transport resistances and modulates the utilization rate of active sites for OER catalysis.

Summary: The composition-dependent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of Co2-xRhxP nanoparticles in acid is reported. The study shows that Rh-rich electrocatalysts have superior activity compared to Co-rich ones, and despite comparable activity to Rh2P, Co2-xRhxP systems lack stability. Calculations suggest that Co0.75Rh1.25P is the most active composition in the series.

Summary: Visible light illumination significantly reduces the response and recovery times of a PbSe quantum dot gel sensor, making it one of the best room-temperature NO2 sensors. The acceleration in response and recovery time is primarily attributed to photoexcitation of NO2 molecules rather than the semiconductor sensing material, as suggested by prevailing theory. Improvement in recovery speed also depends on the distribution of excited electrons in the adsorbed NO2/QD gel system.

Summary: Transition-metal phosphides have shown surprising activity as electrocatalysts for electrochemical water splitting, but their activity depends on various factors. In this study, colloidal Ni2-xRhxP nanocrystals were synthesized and their composition-dependent activity for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) was investigated. It was found that Ni1.75Rh0.25P was the most active catalyst for OER, while Rh1.75Ni0.25P was the most active catalyst for HER. The study also revealed the sacrificial role of phosphide under alkaline conditions and the potential sacrificial role of noble metals in OER catalysis.

Summary: Many transition-metal phosphides are stable catalysts for the HER but exhibit poor stability toward the OER, except for Rh2P/C nanoparticles. In this study, the activity and stability of previously synthesized Ni2-xRhxP nanoparticle catalysts toward the HER and OER in acidic electrolyte were investigated. Ni0.25Rh1.75P phase showed comparable geometric activity and stability to Rh2P for the HER. However, all of the tested Ni(2-x)RhxP phases had higher overpotential values than Rh2P for the OER.

Summary: The ternary manganese pnictide phases show interesting magnetocaloric properties, which can potentially be applied in microelectronics or graded composites. Colloidal synthesis methods were used to create discrete nanoparticles with core-shell structure. The nanoparticles exhibit both ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases, with the ferromagnetism attributed to the crystalline core and paramagnetism to the amorphous shell. Magnetization measurements at variable temperatures revealed superparamagnetic transitions, with some nanoparticles exceeding room temperature in blocking temperature. Additionally, there was a conventional dependence between core size and coercivity, despite variable compositions of the nanoparticles.
