Abstract
Vapor-based deposition techniques are emerging approaches for the design of carbon-supported metal powder electrocatalysts with tailored catalyst entities, sizes, and dispersions. Herein, a pulsed CVD (Pt-pCVD) approach is employed to deposit different Pt entities on mesoporous N-doped carbon (MPNC) nanospheres to design high-performance hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts. The influence of consecutive precursor pulse number (50-250) and deposition temperature (225-300 °C) are investigated. The Pt-pCVD process results in highly dispersed ultrasmall Pt clusters (≈1 nm in size) and Pt single atoms, while under certain conditions few larger Pt nanoparticles are formed. The best MPNC-Pt-pCVD electrocatalyst prepared in this work (250 pulses, 250 °C) reveals a Pt HER mass activity of 22.2 ± 1.2 A mg-1 Pt at -50 mV versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), thereby outperforming a commercially available Pt/C electrocatalyst by 40% as a result of the increased Pt utilization. Remarkably, after optimization of the Pt electrode loading, an ultrahigh Pt mass activity of 56 ± 2 A mg-1 Pt at -50 mV versus RHE is found, which is among the highest Pt mass activities of Pt single atom and cluster-based electrocatalysts reported so far.

Abstract
To promote the commercialization of direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC), it is vital to explore new types of direct formic acid oxidation (FAOR) catalysts with high activity and direct pathway. Here, we report the synthesis of intermetallic platinum-lead/platinum nanoplates inlaid with sub-monolayer antimony oxide surface (PtPb/Pt@sub-SbOx NPs) for efficient catalytic applications in FAOR. Impressively, they can achieve the remarkable FAOR specific and mass activities of 28.7 mA cm-2 and 7.2 A mgPt-1, which are 151 and 60 times higher than those of the state-of-the-art commercial Pt/C, respectively. Furthermore, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy results collectively reveal the optimization of the local coordination environment by the surface sub-monolayer SbOx, along with the electron transfer from Pb and Sb to Pt, driving the predominant dehydrogenation process. The sub-monolayer SbOx on the surface can effectively attenuate the CO generation, largely improving the FAOR performance of PtPb/Pt@sub-SbOx NPs. This work develops a class of high-performance Pt-based anodic catalyst for DFAFC via constructing the unique intermetallic core/sub-monolayer shell structure.

Abstract
The commercialization of acidic proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWE) is heavily hindered by the price and scarcity of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst, i. e. iridium and its oxides. One of the solutions to enhance the utilization of this precious metal is to use a support to distribute well dispersed Ir nanoparticles. In addition, adequately chosen support can also impact the activity and stability of the catalyst. However, not many materials can sustain the oxidative and acidic conditions of OER in PEMWE. Hereby, we critically and extensively review the different materials proposed as possible supports for OER in acidic media and the effect they have on iridium performances.

Abstract
Based on density functional theory computation, a series of transition metal atoms anchored on phthalo-carbonitride (pc-C3N2) nanosheets have been investigated for the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). The results show that Mo and W atoms anchored on the large holes of pc-C3N2 exhibit excellent performance in the NRR with low limiting potentials of -0.24 V and -0.23 V, respectively. Moreover, W@pc-C3N2 can effectively suppress the hydrogen evolution reaction. We predict that the porous carbon-nitrogen catalyst W@pc-C3N2 has a promising future to explore more favorable applications for the NRR.

Abstract
This study provided an effective strategy to construct dual-atom sites by solid-solution alloying. A slow synthesis methodology was established for the solid-solution preparations as dual-atom-site catalysts. The atomic-level homogeneous Pdx Rh1-x dual-atom-site catalysts were successfully synthesized over the whole composition range, as evidenced by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscope energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping measurements. The challenging morphology formation in the immiscible alloys was achieved by an energy-controlling process as the octahedral Rh-rich alloys. The Pd0.3 Rh0.7 dual-atom-site catalyst had unique surface states to activate the key reactants of CO and NO in the complex three-way catalytic reactions, and it performed significantly better than pure Rh.

Abstract
Iron-nitrogen-carbon materials have been known as the most promising non-noble metal catalyst for proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), but the genuine active sites for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are still arguable. Herein, by the thorough density functional theory investigations, we unravel that the planar Fe2N6 site exhibits excellent ORR catalytic activity over both FeN 3 and FeN 4 sites, and the potential-determining step is determined to be the *OH hydrogenation step with an overpotential of 0.415 V. The ORR activity of Fe 2 N 6 site originates from the low spin magnetic moment (1.11 μ B ), which leads to high antibonding states and low d-band center of the Fe center, further leads to weak binding strength of *OH species. And the density of FeN 4 sites only has little influence on the ORR activity due to the similar interaction between active site and intermediates in ORR. Our research sheds light on the activity origin of iron-nitrogen-carbon materials for ORR.

Abstract
The traditional Haber-Bosch method of ammonia (NH3) synthesis has low production efficiency and can lead to greenhouse gas emission due to high temperature and pressure dependent reactions. Hence, the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) in a mild environment has been developed. However, the inert NN triple bond and the competition with the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) limit its wide application. In order to find an effective way of reducing N2 into NH3, in this work, PC6 monolayers with good electro-optical properties and eight transition metals (V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) are chosen to construct PC6-TM3 and PC6-TM4 single cluster catalysts (SCCs), which are proved to have low overpotential, multiple active-sites and superior activity. The thermodynamic stability, N2 adsorption, reaction paths, selectivity for the NRR and catalytic mechanism are systematically investigated. (PC6-Co3, PC6-Fe4)/(PC6-V3, PC6-Cr3)/(PC6-V4, PC6-Mn4) prefer to adsorb N2 rather than H in the end-on/side-on I/side-on III mode. PC6-Fe4 and PC6-Cr3 are finally screened out which have excellent catalytic activity with an overpotential of -0.46 V and -0.26 V in the consecutive path of side-on III and I modes, respectively. Moreover, both of them have 100% faradaic efficiency and present high selectivity for the NRR. The catalytic mechanism is elucidated by discussing the electronic properties of PC6-Cr3, where the back-donation behaviors of Cr atoms play an important role during the formation of NH3. This research may provide theoretical guidance for finding potential NRR catalysts with excellent performance and high selectivity.

Abstract
Accurately regulating the selectivity of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is crucial to renewable energy storage and utilization, but challenging. A flexible alteration of ORR pathways on atomically dispersed Zn sites towards high selectivity ORR can be achieved by tailoring the coordination environment of the catalytic centers. The atomically dispersed Zn catalysts with unique O- and C-coordination structure (ZnO3 C) or N-coordination structure (ZnN4 ) can be prepared by varying the functional groups of corresponding MOF precursors. The coordination environment of as-prepared atomically dispersed Zn catalysts was confirmed by X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFs). Notably, the ZnN4 catalyst processes a 4 e- ORR pathway to generate H2 O. However, controllably tailoring the coordination environment of atomically dispersed Zn sites, ZnO3 C catalyst processes a 2 e- ORR pathway to generate H2 O2 with a near zero overpotential and high selectivity in 0.1 M KOH. Calculations reveal that decreased electron density around Zn in ZnO3 C lowers the d-band center of Zn, thus changing the intermediate adsorption and contributing to the high selectivity towards 2 e- ORR.

Abstract
The optimization of structure and composition is essential to improve the performance of catalysts. Herein, mesoporous nanoparticles assembled PdNi/Ni nanotubes (mPdNi/Ni NTs) are successfully fabricated using nickel nanowires as sacrificial template. The combination of nanotubular structure with mesoporous nanoparticle morphology can provide facilitated transfer channels and sufficient active sites, allowing the full contact and reaction between catalysts and reactants. Therefore, the synthesized mPdNi/Ni NTs exhibited superior ethanol oxidation performance to mesoporous Pd nanotubes and commercial Pd black. This study proposes a rational strategy for the development of nanoparticle assembled nanotubes with surface mesoporous morphology, which can greatly improve catalytic performance in various electrocatalytic fields.

Abstract
The modulation effect has been widely investigated to tune the electronic state of single-atomic M-N-C catalysts to enhance the activity of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the in-depth study of modulation effect is rarely reported for the isolated dual-atomic metal sites. Now, the catalytic activities of Fe-N4 moiety can be enhanced by the adjacent Pt-N4 moiety through the modulation effect, in which the Pt-N4 acts as the modulator to tune the 3d electronic orbitals of Fe-N4 active site and optimize ORR activity. Inspired by this principle, we design and synthesize the electrocatalyst that comprises isolated Fe-N4 /Pt-N4 moieties dispersed in the nitrogen-doped carbon matrix (Fe-N4 /Pt-N4 @NC) and exhibits a half-wave potential of 0.93 V vs. RHE and negligible activity degradation (ΔE1/2 =8 mV) after 10000 cycles in 0.1 M KOH. We also demonstrate that the modulation effect is not effective for optimizing the ORR performances of Co-N4 /Pt-N4 and Mn-N4 /Pt-N4 systems.

Abstract
Oxygen reduction reaction towards hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) provides a green alternative route for H2O2 production, but it lacks efficient catalysts to achieve high selectivity and activity simultaneously under industrial-relevant production rates. Here we report a boron-doped carbon (B-C) catalyst which can overcome this activity-selectivity dilemma. Compared to the state-of-the-art oxidized carbon catalyst, B-C catalyst presents enhanced activity (saving more than 210 mV overpotential) under industrial-relevant currents (up to 300 mA cm-2) while maintaining high H2O2 selectivity (85-90%). Density-functional theory calculations reveal that the boron dopant site is responsible for high H2O2 activity and selectivity due to low thermodynamic and kinetic barriers. Employed in our porous solid electrolyte reactor, the B-C catalyst demonstrates a direct and continuous generation of pure H2O2 solutions with high selectivity (up to 95%) and high H2O2 partial currents (up to ~400 mA cm-2), illustrating the catalyst's great potential for practical applications in the future.

Abstract
Supported single-atom catalysts (SACs) have received a lot of attention due to their super-high atom utilization and outstanding catalytic performance. However, the instability of the supported transition-metal (TM) atoms hampers their widespread applications. Exploration of an appropriate substrate to stabilize the supported single atom is crucial for the future implementation of SACs. In recent years, two-dimensional materials have been proposed as possible substrates due to their large specific surface areas, but their chemically inert surfaces are difficult to stabilize TM atoms without defecting or doping. Herein, by means of systematic first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the defect-free MoS2 monolayer in the unconventional phase (1T') can effectively immobilize single TM atoms owing to its unique electrophilic property as compared to the conventional 2H phase. As a prototype probe, we investigated oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyzed by a total of 21 single TM atoms stabilized on 1T'-MoS2 and successfully screened out two candidates, Cu and Pd@1T'-MoS2, which have a low overpotential of 0.41 and 0.32 V respectively, outperforming most of the previously reported ORR catalysts. Furthermore, we reveal that the adsorption energy of the ORR intermediate, *OH, provides an excellent descriptor to assess the ORR activity, which is further determined by the d-band center of the supported TM adatoms, thus being a great advantage for future design of stable and high-performance SACs.

Abstract
In the past few decades, Pt-based electrocatalysts have attracted great interests due to their high catalytic performances toward the direct alcohol fuel cell (DAFC). However, the high cost, poor stability, and the scarcity of Pt have markedly hindered their large-scale utilization in commerce. Therefore, enhancing the activity and durability of Pt-based electrocatalysts, reducing the Pt amount and thus the cost of DAFC have become the keys for their practical applications. In this minireview, we summarized some basic concepts to evaluate the catalytic performances in electrocatalytic alcohol oxidation reaction (AOR) including electrochemical active surface area, activity and stability, the effective approaches for boosting the catalytic AOR performance involving size decrease, structure and morphology modulation, composition effect, catalyst supports, and assistance under other external energies. Furthermore, we also presented the remaining challenges of the Pt-based electrocatalysts to achieve the fabrication of a real DAFC.

Abstract
Modern surface science faces two major challenges, a materials gap and a pressure gap. While studies on single crystal surface in ultrahigh vacuum have uncovered the atomic and electronic structures of the surface, the materials and environmental conditions of commercial catalysis are much more complicated, both in the structure of the materials and in the accessible pressure range of analysis instruments. Model systems and operando surface techniques have been developed to bridge these gaps. In this Review, we highlight the current trends in the development of the surface characterization techniques and methodologies in more realistic environments, with emphasis on recent research efforts at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. We show principles and applications of the microscopic and spectroscopic surface techniques at ambient pressure that were used for the characterization of atomic structure, electronic structure, charge transport, and the mechanical properties of catalytic and energy materials. Ambient pressure scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy allow us to observe the surface restructuring that occurs during oxidation, reduction, and catalytic processes. In addition, we introduce the ambient pressure atomic force microscopy that revealed the morphological, mechanical, and charge transport properties that occur during the catalytic and energy conversion processes. Hot electron detection enables the monitoring of catalytic reactions and electronic excitations on the surface. Overall, the information on the nature of catalytic reactions obtained with operando spectroscopic and microscopic techniques may bring breakthroughs in some of the global energy and environmental problems the world is facing.

Abstract
Configuring metal single-atom catalysts (SACs) with high electrocatalytic activity and stability is one efficient strategy in achieving the cost-competitive catalyst for fuel cells' applications. Herein, the atomic layer deposition (ALD) strategy for synthesis of Pt SACs on the metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived N-doped carbon (NC) is proposed. Through adjusting the ALD exposure time of the Pt precursor, the size-controlled Pt catalysts, from Pt single atoms to subclusters and nanoparticles, are prepared on MOF-NC support. X-ray absorption fine structure spectra determine the increased electron vacancy in Pt SACs and indicate the Pt-N coordination in the as-prepared Pt SACs. Benefiting from the low-coordination environment and anchoring interaction between Pt atoms and nitrogen-doping sites from MOF-NC support, the Pt SACs deliver an enhanced activity and stability with 6.5 times higher mass activity than that of Pt nanoparticle catalysts in boosting the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Density functional theory calculations indicate that Pt single atoms prefer to be anchored by the pyridinic N-doped carbon sites. Importantly, it is revealed that the electronic structure of Pt SAs can be adjusted by adsorption of hydroxyl and oxygen, which greatly lowers free energy change for the rate-determining step and enhances the activity of Pt SACs toward the ORR.

Abstract
The essence of developing a Pt-based single-atom catalyst (SAC) for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is the preparation of well-defined and stable single Pt sites with desired electrocatalytic efficacy. Herein, we report a facile approach to generate uniformly dispersed Pt sites with outstanding HER performance via a photochemical reduction method using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) molecules as the key additive to significantly simplify the synthesis and enhance the catalytic performance. The as-prepared catalyst displays remarkable kinetic activities (20 times higher current density than the commercially available Pt/C) with excellent stability (76.3 % of its initial activity after 5000 cycles) for HER. EXAFS measurements and DFT calculations demonstrate a synergetic effect, where the PVP ligands and the support together modulate the electronic structure of the Pt atoms, which optimize the hydrogen adsorption energy, resulting in a considerably improved HER activity.

Abstract
Selective two-electron reduction of dioxygen (O2 ) to hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) has been achieved by two saddle-distorted N,N'-dimethylated porphyrin isomers, an N21,N'22-dimethylated porphyrin (anti-Me2 P) and an N21,N'23-dimethylated porphyrin (syn-Me2 P) as catalysts and ferrocene derivatives as electron donors in the presence of protic acids in acetonitrile. The higher catalytic performance in an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was achieved by anti-Me2 P with higher turnover number (TON=250 for 30 min) than that by syn-Me2 P (TON=218 for 60 min). The reactive intermediates in the catalytic ORR were confirmed to be the corresponding isophlorins (anti-Me2 Iph or syn-Me2 Iph) by spectroscopic measurements. The rate-determining step in the catalytic ORRs was concluded to be proton-coupled electron-transfer reduction of O2 with isophlorins based on kinetic analysis. The ORR rate by anti-Me2 Iph was accelerated by external protons, judging from the dependence of the observed initial rates on acid concentrations. In contrast, no acceleration of the ORR rate with syn-Me2 Iph by external protons was observed. The different mechanisms in the O2 reduction by the two isomers should be derived from that of the arrangement of hydrogen bonding of a O2 with inner NH protons of the isophlorins.

Abstract
Pt-based electrocatalysts are considered as one of the most promising choices to facilitate the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and the key factor enabling their success is to reduce the required amount of platinum. Herein, we focus on illuminating both the theoretical mechanisms which enable enhanced and sustained ORR activity and the practical methods to achieve them in catalysts. The various multi-step pathways of ORR are firstly reviewed and the rate-determining steps based on the reaction intermediates and their binding energies are analyzed. We then explain the critical aspects of Pt-based electrocatalysts to tune oxygen reduction properties from the viewpoints of active sites exposure and altering the surface electronic structure, and further summarize representative research progress towards practically achieving these activity enhancements with a focus on platinum size reduction, shape control and core Pt elimination methods. We finally outline the remaining challenges and provide our perspectives with regard to further enhancing their activities.

Zhang J, Lu S, Xiang Y, Jiang SP. Intrinsic Effect of Carbon Supports on the Activity and Stability of Precious Metal Based Catalysts for Electrocatalytic Alcohol Oxidation in Fuel Cells: A Review. CHEMSUSCHEM 2020; 13:2484-2502. [PMID: 32068972 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202000048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2020] [Revised: 02/18/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Electrocatalyst supports, in particular carbonaceous materials, play critical roles in the electrocatalytic activity and stability of precious metal group (PMG)-based catalysts such as Pt, Pd, and Au for the electrochemical alcohol oxidation reaction (AOR) of fuels such as methanol and ethanol in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Carbonaceous supports such as high surface area carbon provide electronic contact throughout the catalyst layer, isolate PMG nanoparticles (NPs) to maintain high electrochemical surface area, and provide hydrophobic properties to avoid flooding of the catalyst layer by liquid water produced. Compared to high surface area carbon, PMG catalysts supported on 1D and 2D carbon materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes show enhanced activity and durability due to the intrinsic effect of the underlying carbonaceous supports on the electronic states of PMG NPs. The modification of the electronic environment, in particular the d-band centers of PMG NPs, weakens the adsorption of AOR intermediates, facilitates breaking of the C-C bonds, and thus enhances the electrocatalytic activity of PMG catalysts. The doping of heteroatoms further facilitates the electrocatalytic activity for the AOR through the structural, bifunctional, and electronic effects, in addition to the enhanced dispersion of PMG NPs in the carbon support. The prospects for the development of effective PMG-based catalysts for high-performance alcohol-fuel-based PEMFCs is discussed.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts have attracted much attention. Reported herein is that regulating charge transfer of lattice oxygen atoms in serial single-atom-doped titania enables tunable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. First-principles calculations disclose that the activity of lattice oxygen for the HER can be regularly promoted by substituting its nearest metal atom, and doping-induced charge transfer plays an essential role. Besides, the realm of the charge transfer of the active site can be enlarged to the second nearest atom by creating oxygen vacancies, resulting in further optimization for the HER. Various single-atom-doped titania nanosheets were fabricated to validate the proposed model. Taking advantage of the localized charge transfer to the lattice atom is demonstrated to be feasible for realizing precise regulation of the electronic structures and thus catalytic activity of the nanosheets.

Abstract
Engineering noble metal nanostructures at the atomic level can significantly optimize their electrocatalytic performance and remarkably reduce their usage. We report the synthesis of atomically dispersed Pt on screw-like Pd/Au nanowires by using ultrafine Pd nanowires as seeds. Au can selectively grow on the surface of Pd nanowires by an island growth pattern to fabricate surface defect sites to load atomically dispersed Pt, which can be confirmed by X-ray absorption fine structure measurements and aberration corrected HRTEM images. The nanowires with 2.74 at % Pt exhibit superior HER properties in acidic solution with an overpotential of 20.6 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and enhanced alkaline ORR performance with a mass activity over 15 times greater than the commercial platinum/carbon (Pt/C) catalysts.

Abstract
Powered by renewable electricity, the electrochemical reduction of nitrogen to ammonia is proposed as a promising alternative to the energy- and capital-intensive Haber-Bosch process, and has thus attracted much attention from the scientific community. However, this process suffers from low NH3 yields and Faradaic efficiency. The development of more effective electrocatalysts is of vital importance for the practical applications of this reaction. Of the reported catalysts, single-atom catalysts (SACs) show the significant advantages of efficient atom utilization and unsaturated coordination configurations, which offer great scope for optimizing their catalytic performance. Herein, progress in state-of-the-art SACs applied in the electrocatalytic N2 reduction reaction (NRR) is discussed, and the main advantages and challenges for developing more efficient electrocatalysts are also highlighted.
