Summary: Selective crystallization provides new opportunities for separating neodymium and dysprosium. Two water-soluble nitrogen-rich tetrazolate-based ligands enable the separation of Nd3+ and Dy3+ through selective crystallization. The higher performance of H2ibt- compared to dtp2- provides guidance for the rational design of water-soluble tetrazolate-derived ligands for selective crystallization.

Summary: In this study, a self-supported cobalt nickel bimetallic phosphide nanoneedle array (Co-Ni-P/NF) is designed to achieve excellent bifunctional activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and methanol electro-oxidation reaction (MOR). The p-n heterogeneous junctions formed between nickel phosphide and cobalt phosphide promote electron accumulation on CoP, enhancing HER activity, while the increased MOR activity is attributed to in situ generated holes in Ni2P. Benefiting from optimized interface/surface electronic structures, Co-Ni-P/NF exhibits a high current density of 100 mAcm(-2) at a low voltage of 1.45 V in a two-electrode electrolyzer. The faradic efficiency for both HER and MOR reaches 100%, demonstrating the excellent bifunctional catalytic activity of Co-Ni-P/NF nanoneedle arrays. This work provides insights into the development of novel bifunctional electrocatalysts for value-added chemical production and highly efficient hydrogen evolution.
