In response to the limitations of slow reaction kinetics and elevated overpotentials in the OER, a novel core–shell structured electrocatalyst, termed NiCo–ZIF-67@Fe–Co–Ni-PBA or NiCo–ZIF@PBA, has been developed. This material demonstrates exceptional catalytic performance, exhibiting a minimal overpotential of approximately 188 mV at 10 mA cm–2, alongside a Tafel slope of 109 mV dec–1. Its robust stability in a 1 M KOH solution during the OER operations is noteworthy. Theoretical insights from DFT calculations reveal that a Co–O–Fe bridging configuration within NiCo–ZIF@PBA lowers the energy barrier for the reaction to 1.79 eV, a significant reduction from 2.67 eV observed with NiCo–ZIF-67. The improvement in electrochemical performance is primarily due to the emergence of Co3+ ions, which results from the efficient charge transfer occurring at the interface of the PBA and NiCo–ZIF core–shell structure. These findings suggest a promising strategy for designing advanced core–shell materials for electrocatalytic applications.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) requires the development of a strong and efficient electrocatalyst due to its slow mechanism and high overpotential. Hence, we assembled POM and NiCo-ZIF-67 to obtain the amorphous hollow core-shell material NiCo-ZIF-67@POM (donated as NiCo-ZIF@POM) with high catalytic activity. NiCo-ZIF@POM (1:3) presents a low overpotential (η≈150 mV@10 mA cm-2), a small Tafel slope (100 mV dec-1), and great stability for OER in 1 M KOH solution. Theoretical calculations indicate that the excellent activity of NiCo-ZIF@POM might be attributed to the charge rearrangement due to the interaction between Co and W. In addition, the low electronegativity of P and the high oxidation state of W in POM could accelerate the rapid OH- transfer and induce the intermediates to adsorb on the Co-O-W bridge bond conformation, which improves the performance of the catalytic OER. This study provides a new idea for the secondary assembly of POM and MOF materials.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently been reported as promising catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Hence, we chose hydroxyl-rich 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid as the ligand to prepare a novel MIL-100 and wrapped it on the NiCo-ZIF-67 surface to obtain an amorphous hollow material (NiCo-ZIF-67@Fe-MIL-100, denoted as NiCo-ZIF@MIL). The composite material presents a low overpotential (η ≈ 139 mV @ 10 mA cm−2), a small Tafel slope (119 mV dec−1) and great stability for the OER in 1 M KOH solution. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations show that the hydroxyl-rich structure, which accelerates OH− transfer and promotes the formation of the Co–O–Fe bridge, effectively reduces the reaction energy barrier (from 2.67 eV for NiCo-ZIF-67 to 2.08 eV for NiCo-ZIF@MIL). This work provides an important reference for the development of double-MOF materials.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have been extensively utilized as catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to their remarkable properties. To enhance electrocatalytic performance, the modifying MOF materials has emerged as a significant research area. In this study, we synthesized MIL-100(Fe), and MOF-74(Co) MOF materials on the surface of NiCo-ZIF using 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid as the ligand , successfully obtaining a ternary MOFs composite material designated as NiCo-ZIF@MM. Experimental results demonstrated that the NiCo-ZIF@MM composite formed a heterogeneous structure, which significantly enhanced electron transport efficiency and catalytic activity. Additionally, this novel material exhibits a larger electrochemical active surface area and excellent stability. Notably, the overpotential of NiCo-ZIF@MM is reduced to 190 mV at a current density of 10 mA/cm2. This study not only achieves effective modification of ZIF materials but also provides a new strategy for the development of highly efficient and stable MOF-based OER catalysts.

Solar-driven CO 2 reduction by CH 4 is promising to simultaneously tackle energy shortage and global warming problems by converting two greenhouse gases into fuels. However, serious challenges remain, such as limited light-to-fuel efficiency, high operating temperature, and severe catalyst deactivation. Here, high-performance direct solar-driven CO 2 reduction is demonstrated at relatively low operation temperature (594 °C) based on NiCo-ZIF derived nanostructures. An ultrahigh light-to-fuel efficiency of 32.4% and production rates of H 2 (105.83 min −1 g −1 ) and CO (128.17 mmol min −1 g −1 ) are achieved via photothermocatalysis on Ni 1 Co 2 @C ZIF -Al 2 O 3 catalysts. Excellent light-to-fuel conversion performance can be attributed to the highly dispersed metal particles, decreased apparent activation energy under direct light illumination, increased CO 2 absorption, and promoted dissociation of CH 4 to CH 3 * of NiCo alloy. The carbon deposition rate of NiCo bimetallic catalysts is prominently inhibited compared with pure Ni or Co catalysts due to the change of the reaction path, as confirmed by DFT calculations. This work opens new routes to achieve highly efficient solar-driven CO 2 reduction by CH 4 based on NiCo-ZIF derived alloy nanostructures at relatively low-temperature conditions.
