AbstractDeveloping high-performance electrocatalysts toward hydrogen evolution reaction is important for clean and sustainable hydrogen energy, yet still challenging. Herein, we report a single-atom strategy to construct excellent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hydrogen evolution reaction electrocatalyst (NiRu0.13-BDC) by introducing atomically dispersed Ru. Significantly, the obtained NiRu0.13-BDC exhibits outstanding hydrogen evolution activity in all pH, especially with a low overpotential of 36 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in 1 M phosphate buffered saline solution, which is comparable to commercial Pt/C. X-ray absorption fine structures and the density functional theory calculations reveal that introducing Ru single-atom can modulate electronic structure of metal center in the MOF, leading to the optimization of binding strength for H2O and H*, and the enhancement of HER performance. This work establishes single-atom strategy as an efficient approach to modulate electronic structure of MOFs for catalyst design.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composed by coordination bonds between metal ion with organic linker has a uniform combination of micro and mesoporous structures has been used for several application including battery supercapacitor hybrid. (BSH). In BSH, MOF offer several advantages including high surface area, porous, and structure tunability. This paper reports the synthesis of ternary MOF of copper (Cu), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) with 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid. The Co/Cu/Ni-MOF is synthesized using hydrothermal method at 160 °C for 12h and further develop as a BSH electrode. The physicochemical properties of MOF were characterized using FESEM, FTIR, XRD, BET and the electrochemical properties were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), charge-discharge cycling (CDC) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Electrochemical analysis indicated that the MOF has high specific capacitance (CS) of 591 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 and 519 F g-1 at scan rate of 2 mV s-1, and possess low series resistance (RS) of 0.44 Ω and equivalent distributed resistance (Rd) of 1.07 Ω.

Hydrogen has been considered as a promising alternative energy to replace fossil fuels. Electrochemical water splitting, as a green and renewable method for hydrogen production, has been drawing more and more attention. In order to improve hydrogen production efficiency and lower energy consumption, efficient catalysts are required to drive the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Cobalt (Co)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials with tunable structure, adjustable pores and large specific surface areas, which has attracted great attention in the field of electrocatalysis. In this review, we focus on the recent progress of Co-based metal-organic frameworks and their derivatives, including their compositions, morphologies, architectures and electrochemical performances. The challenges and development prospects related to Co-based metal-organic frameworks as HER electrocatalysts are also discussed, which might provide some insight in electrochemical water splitting for future development.
