Recent years have witnessed an upsurge in the development of non-precious catalysts (NPCs) for alkaline water electrolysis (AWE), especially with the strides made in experimental and computational techniques. In this contribution, the most recent advances in NPCs for AWE were systematically reviewed, emphasizing the application of in situ/operando experimental methods and density functional theory (DFT) calculations in their understanding and development. First, we briefly introduced the fundame

The rational design of highly active and durable electrocatalysts for overall water splitting is a formidable challenge. In this work, a double perovskite oxide, i.e., NdBaMn2O5.5, is proposed as a bifunctional electrode material for water electrolysis. Layered NdBaMn2O5.5 demonstrates significant improvement in catalyzing oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions (OER and HER, respectively), in contrast to other related materials, including disordered Nd0.5Ba0.5MnO3−δ as well as NdBaMn2O5.5−δ and

The addition of transition metals, even in a trace amount, into heteroatom-doped carbon (M-N/C) is intensively investigated to further enhance oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity. However, the influence of metal decoration on the electrolysis of the reverse reaction of ORR, that is, oxygen evolution reaction (OER), is seldom reported. Moreover, further improving the bifunctional activity and corrosion tolerance for carbon-based materials remains a big challenge, especially in OER potential

Abstract The development of sustainable energy conversion and storage devices, such as fuel cells, metal–air batteries, and electrolyzers is highly dependent on the catalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO 2 RR). Carbon‐supported nonprecious metals (C@NPMs) with variable metal sizes (single atom, cluster, and nanoparticle) are attracting significant interest for catalyzing these reacti

Direct seawater electrolysis (DSE) for hydrogen production, using earth-abundant seawater as the feedstock and renewable electricity as the driving source, paves a new opportunity for flexible energy conversion/storage and smooths the volatility of renewable energy. Unfortunately, the complex environments of seawater impose significant challenges on the design of DSE catalysts, and the practical performance of many current DSE catalysts remains unsatisfactory on the device level. However, many s

Transmission line galloping often causes structural and electrical failures, which is a serious threat to the security of transmission systems. Through analysing the influence factors of galloping, it reveals that weather conditions are the most significant excitation factors and conductors of any voltage level and region may gallop when the apt‐galloping weather conditions are satisfied. This study proposes an early warning method for transmission line galloping based on support vector machine
