Ceria is introduced to promote the activity of Co@NC. HDO of vanillin can be catalyzed by Co/Ce@NC either using H2 or ethanol as the H donor.

Water oxidation is the primary step in both natural and artificial photosynthesis to convert solar energy in into chemical fuels. Herein, we report the first cobalt-based pincer catalyst for electrolytic water oxidation at neutral pH with high efficiency under electrochemical conditions. Most importantly, ligand (pseudo)aromaticity is identified to play an important role in the electrocatalysis. A significant potential jump (~300 mV) was achieved towards a lower positive value when the aromatized cobalt complex was transformed to a (pseudo)dearomatized cobalt species. This complex catalyzes the water oxidation in its high valent oxidation state at a much lower overpotential (~ 340 mV vs. NHE) based on the onset potential (0.5 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>) of catalysis at pH 10.5, outperforming all the other literature systems. These observations may provide a new strategy for the design of earth-abundant transition metal-based water oxidation catalysts.

A new way for synthesizing porous composite with cobalt species and N-doped carbon nanotubes (NDCNTs) was reported here by using cobalt salts and melamine mixtures as precursor. The Co(O)x/NDCNTs exhibited good activity of electrocatalytic O2 production. Furthermore, after reduced by H2, the Co–NDCNTs showed strong absorption of visible light and high catalytic activity of H2 production, which is 598.5 μmol g−1 h−1 under the visible light (λ > 420 nm). The results suggested that supramolecular preorganization of melamine monomers may be a promising method of synthesizing two-dimensional N-doped carbon nanotube with Co particles in it. The morphologies should be beneficial for the charge transport and separation. This work can encourage further synthesize new efficient noble-metal-free photocatalysts or electrocatalysts.
