“…6–8 Although noble metal oxides have achieved some success as efficient OER electrocatalysts, their scarcity and high-cost are the bottleneck for the widespread application on a large scale. 9–12 Recently, owing to the multiple advantages of high abundance, high stability and promising catalytic activity, the first-row transition-metal-based materials, such as oxides, alloys, phosphides, and nitrides, are emerging as ideal alternatives for noble-metal catalysts in an alkaline medium. 13–18 Among these candidates, the transition metal oxides have always been the focus of research owing to their controllable electronic structures and moderate absorption of reaction intermediates.…”

Electrocatalytic water splitting is a feasible method for large‐scale hydrogen production. Recently, layered double hydroxides (LDH) have been identified as a possible candidate for accelerating the water splitting process. Nevertheless, certain structural alterations are necessary for immaculate LDH because of their weak electrocatalytic activity. These structural changes alter the local reaction environment by modulating the electronic structure of the metal centre present in the LDH. This electronic structure tailoring is accomplished by a variety of processes, including heteroatom doping, single atom inclusion, cationic defect, oxygen vacancy creation, and heterostructure formation. Recently, there has been an uptick of advancement in this field, and it is necessary to summarize these developments. This review provides a concise summary of the current reports on the electronic structure manipulation of layered double hydroxide. The review begins by examining the local environmental changes of LDH resulting from the insertion of single atoms. Subsequently, we explore the charge transfer that occurs at the interface between LDH and other transition metal heterostructures. In addition, we explored the impact on the metal centre near the vacancies on the basal plane of LHD. Finally, we presented a future perspective and guidance for advancing this field in electrocatalysis.

Developing efficient and durable electrocatalyst for seawater splitting is crucial in hydrogen production. Herein, a multi‐scale design strategy was employed to fabricate ruthenium clusters modification carbon layer‐encapsulated nickel‐cobalt‐phosphorus (Ru/C/NiCoP) nanoneedles electrocatalyst supported on nickel foam (NF). We demonstrated that Ru/C/NiCoP/NF exhibited exceptional oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performances, with low overpotential, Tafel slope and superior stability. Furthermore, the electrocatalytic mechanism of Ru/C/NiCoP was elucidated through the combination of ex‐situ and in‐situ characterizations, along with comprehensive electrochemical tests. Strikingly, Ru clusters and the NiCoP with carbon layer engendered robust electronic interaction reaction, accelerated the charge transfer rate, provided more active sites, and enhanced intrinsic catalytic activity, thus substantially promoting the OER kinetics and HER reaction steps as well as stability. In addition, the two‐electrode system constructed with Ru/C/NiCoP/NF achieved current density of 10 mA cm−2 in both pure water and seawater at ultra‐low potential of 1.46/1.47 V, with Faraday efficiency close to 100 %. Even at higher current density of 100 mA cm−2, the required driving voltage remained low at 1.75/1.77 V, maintaining stable operation for 150 h, outperforming most reported non‐noble catalysts. This innovative strategy provides facile and versatile approach for developing advanced electrocatalysts in seawater electrolysis application.
