Design of high-performance low-Ir anode catalyst layer is crucial for the commercial development of anion-exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE). In this study, a double catalyst layer structure based on iridium oxide (IrO
2
) and carbon loaded iridium (IrC) was constructed by catalyst coated substrate (CCS) method to improve AEMWE performance. It was found that the IrC-IrO
2
catalyst layer is beneficial to improve the Ir utilization and optimize the transport of electron and hydroxide ions within the catalyst layer due to the highly dispersed morphology of IrC. High AEMWE current density of 2.31 A/cm
2
was achieved at 2.0 V under 1 mol/L KOH by combining commercial Pt/C catalyst as cathode and IrC-IrO
2
double catalyst layer as the anode. High performance was maintained at low electrolyte concentrations as well as in pure water. This study provides an example of the efficient catalyst layer design for AEMWE technology.

Benefiting from abundant mineral resources, ultra-high theoretical capacity and excellent safety, aqueous zinc batteries have become a strong contender for next-generation energy storage devices. As an ideal cathode material candidate for zinc batteries, cobalt-based electrode materials have received increasing attention in recent years due to their high output voltage, high theoretical capacity and excellent redox ability (Co

). Although cobalt-based catalysts applied to zinc-air batteries have been reviewed by researchers, they mainly focus on a single catalytic direction, and a systematic summary of the multifunctional properties of cobalt-based electrode materials is lacking. This review introduces the application of multifunctional properties of cobalt-based cathode materials in zinc batteries, combining both their redox and oxygen catalysis capabilities, expanding from zinc-cobalt batteries to zinc-cobalt hybrid systems. Then, the charging and discharging mechanisms in the two battery systems are introduced, following by the current optimization strategies of cobalt-based materials in zinc-cobalt batteries and the design of electrode/electrolyte three-phase interface in zinc-cobalt hybrid batteries. Finally, this paper introduces the shortcomings of the current research and provides an outlook on future research.

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a promising technology for Cd
2+
removal owing to the advantages such as simple and convenient operation, low energy consumption, and free of secondary pollution. The key challenge limiting its development is the low adsorption capacity of electrode materials for Cd
2+
. In this work, we used glucose as carbon source, thiourea and sulfur as the dopant to prepare porous carbon materials co-doped with S and N through high-temperature carbonization, and explored its electrochemical adsorption performance for Cd
2+
, by using the prepared carbon material as the electrode. The symmetrical CDI system assembled with identical material for both electrodes achieved a removal capacity of 53 mg·g
-1
for Cd
2+
at 1.2 V. Furthermore, it was found that with the increase of S and N doping, the surface of carbon materials carries negative charges. Therefore, the asymmetric CDI system assembled by using it as the anode and commercial activated carbon YP-50F as the cathode, and Cd
2+
removal capacity reached 88.37 mg·g
-1
, which was 66.73% higher than symmetrical CDI system. After seven cycles of adsorption-desorption, the capacity retention rate also increased from 62.2% to 81.5%. The removal mechanism of Cd
2+
was explored by XPS, and the results showed that it was the synergism of double electric layer and surface functional groups. The matching strategy of high-perfor-mance porous carbon electrodes and asymmetric electrodes developed in this work would pave the way for practical application of CDI technology in the treatment of Cd
2+
and other heavy metal wastewater.

Zinc-air battery has attracted wide attention because of its high safety, large capacity, low cost and environmental friendliness. Among them, the design and development of cathode bifunctional catalyst for zinc-air battery has made breakthrough progress. Therefore, the reversibility of zinc anode has become the key to determine the charging and discharging performance of zinc-air battery. However, the zinc anode still faces serious challenges such as dendrite, deformation, passivation and hydrogen evolution corrosion, which directly hinders the practical application of reversible zinc-air batteries. Therefore, this paper systematically introduces the research status of zinc anode from four aspects, dendrite formation, electrode deformation, passivation and hydrogen evolution corrosion. The effects of additives, coatings, separators and charging methods on the growth of zinc dendrites are discussed. The mechanism of electrode deformation and common solutions are studied. The key factors and influencing mechanism of zinc anode passivation are summarized. The inhibition of alloy components on hydrogen evolution corrosion is analyzed. Finally, based on the current research status of zinc anode, this paper looks forward to various strategies and research directions for obtaining stable and reversible zinc anode.

Single-wall carbon nanohorns (SWCNHs) are hollow conical carbon nanomaterials produced by curling a single layer of graphene. SWCNHs cannot exist alone in a normal state, but instead as spherical aggregates formed by thousands of SWCNHs. Due to their excellent electrical and thermal properties, low density, and high specific surface area, SWCNHs are regarded as promising carbon nanomaterials for electrochemical application. SWCNHs are usually prepared by laser ablation, arc discharge, and joule heating methods, and these process do not use metal catalysts, so as to avoid impurity contamination, which broadens the application of SWCNHs. Over the last two decades, SWCNHs have been widely used in supercapacitors, electrochemical sensors, and lithium-ion, solar, fuel, and metal-CO
2
batteries. Numerous studies have shown that SWCNH-based electrochemical devices offer high efficiency, stability, and safety. Promoting the industrial production and large-scale application of SWCNHs in the electrochemical field is of great significance to the development of new energy and high-end manufacturing industries in China. This study summarizes the structure, characteristics, and preparation methods of SWCNHs, reviews the research progress of SWCNHs in the field of electrochemistry, and prospects future research directions and development trends of SWCNHs.

Zinc anode has become a key factor limiting the cycling performance of zinc-air batteries due to challenges such as dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution, deformation, and passivation. In this study, carbon materials with abundant mesoporous structures were prepared using quaternary ammonium salts as carbon and nitrogen sources through a hard template method, and they were used as a surface functional layer for the zinc anode (N-MC@Zn). The N-MC@Zn material had a high specific surface area of 590.06 m
2
·g
-1
and an average pore size of 22 nm. The research showed that constructing a nitrogen-doped porous carbon functional layer on the surface of the zinc anode effectively mitigated the negative effects caused by the aforementioned challenges. In particular, the abundant pores in the porous carbon coating provided a buffer zone for zinc deposition/stripping, greatly accelerating the deposition kinetics and stabilizing the deposition/stripping process of zinc ions, thus alleviating hydrogen evolution corrosion of the zinc anode. Furthermore, the anisotropy within the porous carbon coating prevented the growth of dendrites by avoiding the tip effect. Based on these advantages, N-MC@Zn exhibited excellent discharge and charge stability (140 h, 700 cycles), rate capability (from 0.5C to 10C), and discharge capacity. These results demonstrate that porous carbon materials can serve as high-performance functional layer materials for zinc anodes and provide a new perspective for the design of zinc anode coatings.

Urea oxidation reaction (UOR) plays an essential role in reducing the strain of contemporary hydrogen energy production and wastewater treatment, and the development of electrocatalysts with superior performance can aid in lowering the amount of energy required. Derivatives of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) materials have garnered a lot of attention for their potential as electrocatalysts, by addressing the inherent flaws of poor conductivity and stability. With reference to the design and construction of MOF-derivatives, we review and summarize some studies based on: (i) the reaction mechanism of nickel-based/non-nickel-based UOR; (ii) strategies to improve the electronic conductivity by means of structural modulation, morphology control, interfacial engineering, and defect engineering, outlining the change in physical properties of the materials with respect to the catalytic activity correlation;(iii) analyses of the applications of UOR-based MOFs derivatives. Finally, we give some perspectives on the most recent research challenges and developments in UOR.

Nanometer sized metal phosphides and their nanocomposites with noble metals have unique physical/chemical properties that have been found wide applications in electrocatalysis. For instance, in methanol oxidation reaction, the shift of electron clouds from noble metals, e.g. Pt and Pd, to the phosphor (P) due to larger electronegativity of the latter would enhance thetolerance of noble metals for the CO-like interme-diates produced during methanol oxidation. Also, in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of electrocatalytic water splitting, the P element in the phosphide-based nanocomposites could strengthen the H
+
adsorption by serving as proton acceptor, thus promoting the HER. In addition, in oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the metal phosphides could be easily transformed into metal oxides/hydroxides for forming metal phosphide-metal oxide/hydroxide interfaces that is capable to boost the OER. It is well known that the catalytic performance of a catalyst strongly depends on its structure, components and their interactions as well as the electronic configuration of the active sites. In this context, rational regulation of the above-mentioned properties of metal phosphide-based nanocomposites is of necessity to improve their electrocatalytic performance. It is noteworthy that the materials in this review include metal phosphides and their nanocomposites with different nobles. We would firstly introduce the synthesis and characterization of metal phosphide-based nanocomposites, and subsequently, we focus on reviewing recent advances and challenges in making use of the lattice strain effect and electronic coupling effect to boost the performance of metal phosphide-based nanocomposites in typical electrochemical reactions. Eventually, regarding further improvement in elecrtocatalytic performance, we make some perspectives on the future synthetic strategies and development of the metal phosphide-based nanocomposites.

Nowadays, as the energy scarce increasing, hydrogen energy has emerged as a renewable and environmental-friendly new energy source. It serves as an important energy carrier for global energy conservation and carbon reduction. Traditional alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) is the most common method for hydrogen production, but it requires alkaline solution with high pH as the electrolyte and can only operate at low current density; proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) technology, on the other hand, can be operated at high current density with high efficiency, making it the most promising water electrolysis technology for hydrogen production. However, the expensive catalyst and need for acid-resistant components are important challenges that hinder its development. Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) is a promising new technology for green and cost-effective hydrogen production. Comparing with AWE, it avoids the circulation of concentrated alkaline solution. Comparing with PEMWE, it offers advantages such as lower cost and lower corrosiveness. Ionomers, as a key component of the triple phase boundary (TPB) in the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), play a crucial role in the catalytic capabilities and water management of AEMWE. This review firstly aims to provide an overview of AEMWE technology and the importance of ionomer in MEA. It also summarizes the structures and characteristics of representative ionomers adopted in AEMWE. Finally, this review explores strategies to improve the electrolytic performance of AEMWE through ionomer regulations from three aspects: structural regulation, content regulation and additive re-gulation.

Rechargeable sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are the next generation of secondary batteries. During charging and discharging, the behavior of sodium ion (Na
+
) storage at the electrode interface and electrode-electrolyte interface determines the performance of SIBs, which plays an important role in the high energy density and long cycle stability required by the large-scale energy storage battery system. Although electrode materials have been extensively studied, there is very little work on the construction of stable and efficient SIBs interfaces compared to the large number of electrode materials studied. Although there are a few researches and explorations on the mechanism of interfacial effect, the researches on the regulation strategies of interfacial effect are still in the initial stage, and the results obtained are not in-depth enough to draw systematic conclusions. Here in, the mechanism of interfacial effect in Na
+
storage process is reviewed. The interface is divided into heterogeneous interface of electrode material, solid electrolyte interphase and cathode electrolyte interphase. The mechanism of interfacial effect in intercalation reaction, transformation reaction and alloy reaction and its influence on the overall battery performance were summarized. This provides guidance for the optimization of electrode structure and electrode-electrolyte interface structure, which is very important for the performance optimization of SIBs. In addition, it analyzes the challenges in SIB interfacial effects research and suggests several promising methods and opportunities for advancing the understanding of interfacial effects mechanisms.
