“…Ying-Hui Lee [ 39 ] demonstrated that the N-doped structure in N-doped nano-sheets generated by the carbonized collagen could serve as the active site of the ORR. Runqing Lu [ 40 ] reported that nano-nickel-cobalt-iron (NiCoFe) alloys were embedded on conductive boron (B) and N co-doped/silk-derived carbon aerogels as oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts. The doping of N and B improved the hydroxide adsorption capacity of the electrocatalyst and further promoted the species-deprotonation and O 2 generation.…”

A catalyst determines the mechanism of an organic chemical reaction, thus enabling the commercially viable formation of desired material products. Biopolymers offer new opportunities for the construction of catalysts by virtue of their biocompatibility, environmental benignity, and sustainability, as well as their low cost. Biopolymers are especially useful as carriers and precursors in catalysis application. The employment of biocompatible and biosustainable collagen and silk fibroin materials will revolutionize state-of-the-art electronic devices and systems that currently rely on conventional technologies. In this review, we first consider the ordered hierarchical structure, origin, and processing methods of collagen and silk fibroin. Then, the unique advantages and applicability of collagen and silk fibroin for constructing catalysts are summarized. Moreover, a summary of the state-of-the-art design, fabrication, and application of collagen- and silk fibroin-based catalysts, as well as the application of collagen- and silk-based catalysts, is presented by focusing on their roles as carriers and precursors, respectively. Finally, challenges and prospects are assessed for the construction and development of collagen and silk fibroin-based catalysts.

“…Metal/alloy nanoparticles feature high electrical conductivity and catalytic activities. Compositing metal/alloy with carbon is capable of mitigating the severe aggregation and growth of metal/alloy nanoparticles, thus populating electroactive sites and also enhancing the structural stability of catalysts [158]. Chen et al prepared a hierarchically structured catalyst (Co@Co-N, S-C) from biowaste, integrating Co-N-C structures and encased Co nanoparticles [159].…”

The sustainable production of green hydrogen via water electrolysis necessitates cost-effective electrocatalysts. By following the circular economy principle, the utilization of waste-derived catalysts significantly promotes the sustainable development of green hydrogen energy. Currently, diverse waste-derived catalysts have exhibited excellent catalytic performance toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and overall water electrolysis (OWE). Herein, we systematically examine recent achievements in waste-derived electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. The general principles of water electrolysis and design principles of efficient electrocatalysts are discussed, followed by the illustration of current strategies for transforming wastes into electrocatalysts. Then, applications of waste-derived catalysts (i.e., carbon-based catalysts, transitional metal-based catalysts, and carbon-based heterostructure catalysts) in HER, OER, and OWE are reviewed successively. An emphasis is put on correlating the catalysts’ structure–performance relationship. Also, challenges and research directions in this booming field are finally highlighted. This review would provide useful insights into the design, synthesis, and applications of waste-derived electrocatalysts, and thus accelerate the development of the circular economy-driven green hydrogen energy scheme.

“…The co-doping of heteroatoms to form multiple active sites and the synergistic effect between heteroatoms can effectively improve the catalytic performance of the catalyst. Lv et al [ 79 ] intercalated NiCoFe alloys into conductive B, N co-doped/biomass-derived CA nanoparticles as OER electrocatalysts, which enhanced OER by increasing the number of electrocatalysts’ active centers ( Figure 4 h). The best electrocatalyst (BN/CA-NiCoFe-600) exhibits a tiny Tafel slope of 42 mV dec −1 and a low overpotential of 321 mV at 10 mA cm −2 .…”

Carbon aerogel (CA) based materials have multiple advantages, including high porosity, tunable molecular structures, and environmental compatibility. Increasing interest, which has focused on CAs as electrocatalysts for sustainable applications including oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) has recently been raised. However, a systematic review covering the most recent progress to boost CA-based electrocatalysts for ORR/OER/HER/CO2RR is now absent. To eliminate the gap, this critical review provides a timely and comprehensive summarization of the applications, synthesis methods, and principles. Furthermore, prospects for emerging synthesis, screening, and construction methods are outlined.
