“…Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have been receiving wide attention as efficient HER electrocatalysts in alkaline electro-lyte owing to it possessing analogous active sites in hydrogenases with the strong ability of attracting protons and outstanding conductivity. [119][120][121] It is found that the isotropic structures with more active harmoniously unsaturated surface atoms could be formed on TMPs. 111,122 The in situ growth of nanostructured TMPs on conductive supports like NF and CC has been significantly exploited, and further used practically with large current density.…”

The global energy crisis is increasing the demand for innovative materials with high purity and functionality for the development of clean energy production and storage. The development of novel photo- and electrocatalysts significantly depends on synthetic techniques that facilitate the production of tailored advanced nanomaterials. The emerging use of pulsed laser in liquid synthesis has attracted immense interest as an effective synthetic technology with several advantages over conventional chemical and physical synthetic routes, including the fine-tuning of size, composition, surface, and crystalline structures, and defect densities and is associated with the catalytic, electronic, thermal, optical, and mechanical properties of the produced nanomaterials. Herein, we present an overview of the fundamental understanding and importance of the pulsed laser process, namely various roles and mechanisms involved in the production of various types of nanomaterials, such as metal nanoparticles, oxides, non-oxides, and carbon-based materials. We mainly cover the advancement of photo- and electrocatalytic nanomaterials via pulsed laser-assisted technologies with detailed mechanistic insights and structural optimization along with effective catalytic performances in various energy and environmental remediation processes. Finally, the future directions and challenges of pulsed laser techniques are briefly underlined. This review can exert practical guidance for the future design and fabrication of innovative pulsed laser-induced nanomaterials with fascinating properties for advanced catalysis applications.

Summary Designing a highly efficient and less expensive electrocatalyst for electrolyzers and fuel cells is of great importance to creating a sustainable future energy source. Herein, we applied a unique and extremely facile pulsed laser ablation in the liquid synthesis route for the fabrication of phase‐engineered CuxSy nanospheres. The multifunctionality of these catalysts was assessed by examining the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). As a result, low overpotentials of 390 mV (HER) and 440 mV (OER) were achieved for sulfur‐rich and copper‐rich samples in alkaline media, respectively. Furthermore, the high selectivity of Cu over methanol and the high number of electrochemically accessible active sites equal to 7.9 × 1016 promoted the MOR with a current density of 28.3 mA/cm2 at the vertex potential. It is worth emphasizing that in this research, we consider the electrocatalyst's initial electrocatalytic water decomposition function to gain a better understanding of the photoelectrocatalytic behavior. Using a beneficial photo‐assisted electrochemical method, a high OER catalytic activity was obtained under light irradiation due to the large light absorption coefficients of the synthesized electrocatalysts, which facilitated electron transfer at the electrode‐electrolyte interface.
