Highly efficient Fe-Cu dual-site nanoparticles supported on black pearls 2000 (carbon black) as oxygen reduction reaction catalysts for Al-air batteries. RSC Adv 2024; 14:5184-5192. [PMID: 38332797 PMCID: PMC10851107 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra07925b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Acquiring cost-effective, high-performance, non-precious metal catalysts is crucial for substituting precious metal catalysts in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) to ensure sustainable energy conversion. Herein, we present a preparation strategy for a high-performance Cu-Fe-CN-3 electrocatalyst characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. The results demonstrated that the incorporation of Cu and Fe into Black Pearls' carbon black (BP2000) and the strong synergistic effect between Fe and Cu contributed to the enhancement of active sites for the ORR. Electrochemical characterization revealed that the Cu-Fe-CN-3 catalyst synthesized by mixing Cu and Fe in a molar ratio of 3 : 1 exhibits superior catalytic activity for the ORR. The ORR performance of the Cu-Fe-CN-3 catalyst in an alkaline electrolyte (E1/2 0.867 V vs. RHE) surpassed that of Pt/C (E1/2 0.841 V vs. RHE), and the assembled aluminum-air battery demonstrated superior voltage stability compared to Pt/C under the same current density. After 2000 cycles, the E1/2 of the Cu-Fe-CN-3 catalyst exhibited a slight negative shift by 5 mV, which was better than the activity loss of the Pt/C catalyst (12 mV). At the same current density, the average discharge platform of Al-air batteries with the Cu-Fe-CN-3 catalyst was better than that of the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Therefore, the prepared Cu-Fe-CN-3 electrocatalyst exhibits great potential as an efficient ORR catalyst in fuel cells.

Abstract
With 28-34 times the greenhouse effect of CO2 over a 100-year period, methane is regarded as the second largest contributor to global warming. Reducing methane emissions is a necessary measure to limit global warming to below 1.5 °C. Photocatalytic conversion of methane is a promising approach to alleviate the atmospheric methane concentrations due to its low energy consumption and environmentally friendly characteristics. Meanwhile, this conversion process can produce valuable chemicals and liquid fuels such as CH3OH, CH3CH2OH, C2H6, and C2H4, cutting down the dependence of chemical production on crude oil. However, the development of photocatalysts with a high methane conversion efficiency and product selectivity remains challenging. In this review, we overview recent advances in semiconductor-based photocatalysts for methane conversion and present catalyst design strategies, including morphology control, heteroatom doping, facet engineering, and cocatalysts modification. To gain a comprehensive understanding of photocatalytic methane conversion, the conversion pathways and mechanisms in these systems are analyzed in detail. Moreover, the role of electron scavengers in methane conversion performance is briefly discussed. Subsequently, we summarize the anthropogenic methane emission scenarios on earth and discuss the application potential of photocatalytic methane conversion. Finally, challenges and future directions for photocatalytic methane conversion are presented.

Abstract
The emerging transition metal-nitrogen-carbon (MNC) materials are considered as a promising oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst system to substitute expensive Pt/C catalysts due to their high surface area and potential high catalytic activity. However, MNC catalysts are easy to be attacked by the ORR byproducts that easily lead to the deactivation of metal active sites. Moreover, a high metal loading affects the mass transfer and stability, but a low loading delivers inferior catalytic activity. Here, a new strategy of designing ZrO2 quantum dots and N-complex as dual chemical ligands in N-doped bubble-like porous carbon nanofibers (N-BPCNFs) to stabilize copper (Cu) by forming CuZrO3-x /ZrO2 heterostructures and CuN ligands with a high loading of 40.5 wt.% is reported. While the highly porous architecture design of N-BPCNFs builds a large solidelectrolytegas phase interface and promotes mass transfer. The preliminary results show that the half-wave potential of the catalyst reaches 0.856 V, and only decreases 0.026 V after 10 000 cycles, exhibiting excellent stability. The proposed strategy of stabilizing metal active sites with both heterostructures and CuN ligands is feasible and scalable for developing high metal loading ORR catalyst.

Abstract
Janus architectures have garnered great research efforts in recent years, leading to outstanding advances in electrocatalysis. Benefiting from the synergistic combination of their anisotropy which endows the manifestation of various co-existing electrochemical properties, and their compartmentalized structure that enables each functional domain to retain its inherent activity, with little to no interference from other domains, Janus architectures show great potential as exceptionally versatile electrocatalysts to complement a plethora of electrocatalytic processes. Thus, coupled with the growing interest in Janus architectures for electrocatalysis, it is imperative to investigate and reconsider their design strategies and future directions.

Abstract
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have attracted extensive attention because of their high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and lack of noise pollution. However, PEMFCs still face many difficulties in practical application, such as insufficient power density, high cost, and poor durability. The main reason for these difficulties is the slow oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the cathode due to the insufficient stability and catalytic activity of the catalyst. Therefore, it is very important to develop advanced platinum (Pt)-based catalysts to realize low Pt loads and long-term operation of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) modules to improve the performance of PEMFC. At present, the research on PEMFC has mainly been focused on two areas: Pt-based catalysts and the structural design of catalytic layers. This review focused on the latest research progress of the controllable preparation of Pt-based ORR catalysts and structural design of catalytic layers in PEMFC. Firstly, the design principle of advanced Pt-based catalysts was introduced. Secondly, the controllable preparation of catalyst structure, morphology, composition and support, and their influence on catalytic activity of ORR and overall performance of PEMFC, were discussed. Thirdly, the effects of optimizing the structure of the catalytic layer (CL) on the performance of MEA were analyzed. Finally, the challenges and prospects of Pt-based catalysts and catalytic layer design were discussed.

Abstract
Engineering efficient zinc-air batteries have attracted tremendous attention because of their essential role in the field of renewable energy systems. However, the sluggish reaction kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the air cathode impair the battery performance significantly. Recently, metal-N-C-based porous carbon nanoarchitectures have emerged as promising ORR electrocatalysts in zinc-air batteries. Herein, taking advantage of metal-organic complexation and mesoporous silica templates, we successfully anchor Fe-N-C sites on hierarchically porous carbon sphere and carbon nanotube interpenetrated nanostructures (Fe-N-C/HPCS@CNT) to serve as efficient cathodes for zinc-air batteries. Benefiting from its synergistic effects between the highly active Fe-N-C sites, ultrahigh surface areas, and unique hierarchically porous nanostructures, Fe-N-C/HPCS@CNT exhibits preferable ORR performance (E1/2 = 0.873 V) compared to commercial Pt/C (E1/2 = 0.841 V). Most importantly, when used as a cathode catalyst for homemade zinc-air batteries, Fe-N-C/HPCS@CNT exhibits gratifying peak power density (164.0 mW cm-2), large specific capacity (762.0 mAh g-1), superior long-term stability, extraordinary rate capability, and excellent charge/discharge performance. We believe that this report will not only offer new insights into the design of Fe-N-C-based catalysts but also promote the practical utilization of Fe-N-C-based cathodes for a wide range of energy applications.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped graphene could catalyze the electrochemical reduction and evolution of oxygen, but unfortunately suffers from sluggish catalytic kinetics. Herein, for the first time, we report an onion-like carbon coated Co, N-doped carbon (OLC/Co-N-C) material, which possesses multilayers of highly curved nanostructures that form mesoporous architectures. These unique nanospheres are produced when surfactant micelles are introduced to synthesis precursors. Owing to the combined electronic effect and nanostructuring effect, our OLC/Co-N-C materials exhibit high bifunctional oxygen reduction/evolution reaction (ORR/OER) activity, showing a promising application in rechargeable Zn-air batteries. Experimental results are rationalized by theoretical calculations, showing that the curvature of graphitic carbon plays a vital role in promoting activities of meta-carbon atoms near graphitic N and ortho/meta carbon atoms close to pyridinic N.

Abstract
Synthesis, characterization and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic properties of bimetallic sulfides CoS/MnS/N-C catalyst was discussed. The catalyst was derived from a typical Co based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) and manganese aminoporphyrin. 5,15-Bis(4-aminophenyl)-10,20-bis(4-bromophenyl) porphyrin manganese oxoacetate loaded with ZIF-67 forms a porphyrin loaded ZIF-67. This product was then calcined at 800ˆ∘C and vulcanized with thioacetamide to obtain the bimetallic sulfide product CoS/MnS/N-C. The structure of CoS/MnS/N-C was further characterized by XRD, XPS, FESEM and HRTEM spectra which indicated a novel porous and hollow sphere structure. The electrocatalytic properties of the bimetallic material as well as its parent porphyrin and ZIF-67 were also compared in alkaline condition (0.1 M KOH) with a rotating disk electrode. The prepared catalyst CoS/MnS/N-C exhibits a higher catalytic performance than its precursors (PorMnOAc, ZIF-67 and PorMnOAc loaded ZIF-67) with almost four electron transfers under this condition.

Abstract
A series of different metal centered 5,15-Bis(4-aminophenyl)-10,20-bis(4-bromophenyl)porphyrins (PorM) where M = H2, MnOAc, FeCl, Co or Zn were synthesized, and then encapsulated in zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) by typical template directed strategy to generate PorM@ZIF-8 metal organic frameworks (MOFs). These composites were characterized by UV-vis, FTIR, XRD, FESEM and HRTEM methods. Each prepared PorM@ZIF-8 MOF retained the molecular structure of porphyrin and crystal structure of ZIF-8. It is clearly shown that porphyrin centered metal ions will affect MOFs morphology. Both PorH2@ZIF-8 and PorZn@ZIF-8 gave a rhombic dodecahedron, PorMnOAc@ZIF-8 gave a truncated hexagonal prism-like structure, while no specific structures were obtained for PorFeCl@ZIF-8 and PorCo@ZIF-8 due to aggregation as characterized by FESEM spectrum. Oxygen reduction catalytic ability of ZIF-8, PorM and PorM@ZIF-8 were measured in alkaline condition (0.1 M KOH) with the number of electrons transferred being [Formula: see text] = 2.20–2.60 and generating HO[Formula: see text] as the oxygen reduction product. The catalytic property slightly increased after the porphyrin was encapsulated, due possibly to the capacity limit, inappropriate molecular distance or the direction of encapsulated porphyrin molecular.
