Abstract
Global demands for cost-effective, durable, highly active, and bifunctional catalysts for metal-air batteries are tremendously increasing in scientific research fields. In this work, a strategy for the rational fabrication of carbon layer-encapsulated cobalt tin sulfide nanopores (CoSnOH/S@C NPs) material as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for rechargeable zinc (Zn)-air batteries by a cost-effective and facile two-step hydrothermal method is reported. Moreover, the effect of metal elements on the morphology of CoSnOH nanodisks material via the hydrothermal method is investigated. Owing to its excellent nanostructure, exclusive porous network, and high specific surface area, the optimized CoSnOH/S@C NPs material reveals superior catalytic properties. The as-prepared CoSnOH/S@C NPs electrocatalyst reveals better properties of oxygen reduction reaction (half-wave potential of -0.88 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode) and oxygen evolution reaction (overpotential of 137 mV at 10 mA cm-2) when compared with commercial Pt/C and IrO2 catalyst materials. Most significantly, the CoSnO/S@C NPs-based Zn-air battery exhibits more excellent cycling stability than the Pt/C+IrO2 catalyst-based one. Consequently, the proposed material provides a new route for fabricating more active and stable multifunctional catalyst materials for energy conversion and storage systems.

Abstract
Given the growing environmental and energy problems, developing clean, renewable electrochemical energy storage devices is of great interest. Zn-air batteries (ZABs) have broad prospects in energy storage because of their high specific capacity and environmental friendliness. The unavailability of cheap air electrode materials and effective and stable oxygen electrocatalysts to catalyze air electrodes are main barriers to large-scale implementation of ZABs. Due to the abundant biomass resources, self-doped heteroatoms, and unique pore structure, biomass-derived catalytically active carbon materials (CACs) have great potential to prepare carbon-based catalysts and porous electrodes with excellent performance for ZABs. This paper reviews the research progress of biomass-derived CACs applied to ZABs air electrodes. Specifically, the principle of ZABs and the source and preparation method of biomass-derived CACs are introduced. To prepare efficient biomass-based oxygen electrocatalysts, heteroatom doping and metal modification were introduced to improve the efficiency and stability of carbon materials. Finally, the effects of electron transfer number and H2O2 yield in ORR on the performance of ZABs were evaluated. This review aims to deepen the understanding of the advantages and challenges of biomass-derived CACs in the air electrodes of ZABs, promote more comprehensive research on biomass resources, and accelerate the commercial application of ZABs.

Abstract
Assembling a heterostructure is an effective strategy for enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of hybrid materials. Herein, CoFe-layered double hydroxide and Co-metal-organic framework (CoFe-LDH/Co-MOF) hollow heterostructure nanorod arrays are synthesized. First, [Co(DIPL)(H3BTC)(H2O)2]n [named as Co-MOF, DIPL = 2,6-di(pyrid-4-yl)-4-phenylpyridine, H3BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid] crystalline materials with a uniform hollow structure were prepared on the nickel foam. The CoFe-LDH/Co-MOF composite perfectly inherits the original hollow nanorod array morphology after the subsequent electrodeposition process. Optimized CoFe-LDH/Co-MOF hollow heterostructure nanorod arrays display excellent performance in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with ultralow overpotentials of 215 mV to deliver current densities of 10 mA cm-2 and maintain the electrocatalytic activity for a duration as long as 220 h, ranking it one of the non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts for OER. Density functional theory calculations validate the reduction in free energy for the rate-determining step by the synergistic effect of Co-MOF and CoFe-LDH, with the increased charge density and noticeable electron transfer at the Co-O site, which highlights the capability of Co-MOF to finely adjust the electronic structure and facilitate the creation of active sites. This work establishes an experimental and theoretical basis for promoting efficient water splitting through the design of heterostructures in catalysts.

Abstract
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are promising for generating renewable energy from organic matter and efficient wastewater treatment. Ensuring their practical viability requires meticulous optimization and precise design. Among the critical components of MFCs, the membrane separator plays a pivotal role in segregating the anode and cathode chambers. Recent investigations have shed light on the potential benefits of membrane-less MFCs in enhancing power generation. However, it is crucial to recognize that such configurations can adversely impact the electrocatalytic activity of anode microorganisms due to increased substrate and oxygen penetration, leading to decreased coulombic efficiency. Therefore, when selecting a membrane for MFCs, it is essential to consider key factors such as internal resistance, substrate loss, biofouling, and oxygen diffusion. Addressing these considerations carefully allows researchers to advance the performance and efficiency of MFCs, facilitating their practical application in sustainable energy production and wastewater treatment. Accelerated substrate penetration could also lead to cathode clogging and bacterial inactivation, reducing the MFC's efficiency. Overall, the design and optimization of MFCs, including the selection and use of membranes, are vital for their practical application in renewable energy generation and wastewater treatment. Further research is necessary to overcome the challenges of MFCs without a membrane and to develop improved membrane materials for MFCs. This review article aims to compile comprehensive information about all constituents of the microbial fuel cell, providing practical insights for researchers examining various variables in microbial fuel cell research.

Abstract
It is crucial to achieve accurate and rapid detection of tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) in the field of food safety, for the excessive addition of TBHQ in food is harmful to human health and evil to the environment and aquatic life. Therefore, researchers have done a lot of work on signal amplification through nanomaterials to achieve TBHQ detection, but the conventional single-signal detection strategy results in limited accuracy. In this work, an innovative and facile ratiometric electrochemical sensor for TBHQ detection was built based on advanced nanomaterial complexes carbon nanotube-encapsulated Co/nitrogen-doped carbon (Co NC/CNT) and selected internal reference signal methylene blue (MB) enhancing the accuracy by offering effective self-calibration. A linear relationship between the net peak current ratio between TBHQ and MB (ΔI (TBHQ)/ΔI (MB)) and the TBHQ concentration was obtained under the optimal experimental conditions, with two linear ranges of 0.1-20 μM and 20-100 μM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.054 μM (S/N = 3). Benefiting from the synergistic effects between Co NC and CNT and the ratiometric sensing strategy, the as-designed sensor for TBHQ detection showcased excellent selectivity, repeatability, reproducibility, stability, and satisfactory applicability in real edible oil samples.

Abstract
Ammonia desulfurization is a typical resource-recovery-type wet desulfurization process that is widely used in coal-fired industrial boilers. However, the sulfur recovery is limited by the low oxidation rate of byproduct (ammonium sulfite), leading to secondary SO2 pollution due to its easy decomposability. In addition, the high toxic arsenic trace substances coexisting in desulfurization liquids also reduce the quality of the final sulfate product, facing with high environmental toxicity. In this study, nitrogen-doped porous carbon coembedded with lanthanum and cobalt (La-Co@NPC) was fabricated with heterologous catalytic active sites (Co0) and adsorption sites (LaOCl) to achieve sulfite oxidation and the efficient removal of high toxic trace arsenic for the recovery of high-value ammonium sulfate from the desulfurization liquid. The La-Co@NPC/S(IV) catalytic system can generate numerous strongly oxidizing free radicals (·SO5- and ·O2-) for the sulfite oxidation on the Co0 site, as well as oxidative detoxification of As(III) into As(V). Subsequently, arsenic can be removed through chemical adsorption on LaOCl adsorption sites. By using the dual-functional La-Co@NPC at a concentration of 0.25 g/L, the rate of ammonium sulfite oxidation reached 0.107 mmol/L·s-1, the arsenic (1 mg/L) removal efficiency reached 92%, and the maximum adsorption capacity of As reached up to 123 mg/g. This study can give certain guiding significance to the functional material design and the coordinated control of multiple coal-fired pollutants in desulfurization for high-value recovery of sulfur resources.

Abstract
One bottleneck hampering the widespread use of fuel cell vehicles, in particular of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), is the high cost of the cathode where the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) occurs, due to the current need of precious metals to catalyze this reaction. Electrochemists tackle this issue in the short/medium term by developing catalysts with improved utilization or efficiency of platinum, and in the longer term, by developing catalysts based on Earth-abundant elements. Considerable progress has been achieved in the initial performance of Metal-nitrogen-carbon (Metal-N-C) catalysts for the ORR, especially with Fe-N-C materials. However, until now, this high performance cannot be maintained for a sufficiently long time in an operating PEMFC. The identification and mitigation of the degradation mechanisms of Metal-N-C electrocatalysts in the acidic environment of PEMFCs has therefore become an important research topic. Here, we review recent advances in the understanding of the degradation mechanisms of Metal-N-C electrocatalysts, including the recently identified importance of combined oxygen and electrochemical potential. Results obtained in a liquid electrolyte and a PEMFC device are discussed, as well as insights gained from in situ and operando techniques. We also review the mitigation approaches that the scientific community has hitherto investigated to overcome the durability issues of Metal-N-C electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Due to the high cost of presently utilized Pt/C catalysts, a quick and sustainable synthesis of electrocatalysts made of cost-effective and earth-abundant metals is urgently needed. In this work, we demonstrated a mechanochemically synthesized cobalt nanoparticles supported on N and S doped carbons derived from a solid-state-reaction between zinc acetate and 2-amino thiazole as metal, organic ligand in presence of cobalt (Co) metal ions ZnxCox(C3H4N2S). Pyrolysis of the ZnxCox(C3H4N2S) produced, Co/NSC catalyst in which Co nanoparticles are evenly distributed on the nitrogen and sulfur doped carbon support. The Co/NSC catalyst have been characterized with various physical and electrochemical characterization techniques. The Co content in the ZnxCox(C3H4N2S) is carefully adjusted by varying the Co content and the optimized Co/NSC-3 catalyst is subjected to the oxygen reduction reaction in 0.1 M HClO4 electrolyte. The optimized Co/NSC-3 catalyst reveals acceptable ORR activity with the half-wave potential of ~0.63 V vs. RHE in acidic electrolytes. In addition, the Co/NSC-3 catalyst showed excellent stability with no loss in the ORR activity after 10,000 potential cycles. When applied as cathode catalysts in dual chamber microbial fuel cells, the Co/NCS catalyst delivered satisfactory volumetric power density in comparison with Pt/C.

Abstract
Removal of harmful organic matters from environment has great environmental significance. Carbon nanotube (CNT) materials and their composites have been demonstrated to possess excellent catalytic activity towards persulfate (PS) activation for the degradation of organic contaminants. Herein, detailed information concerning the function, modification methods and relevant mechanisms of CNT in persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs) for organic pollutant elimination has been reviewed. The activation mechanism of PS by CNT might include radical and nonradical pathways and their synergistic effects. The common strategies to improve the stability and catalytic capability of CNT-based materials have also been put forward. Furthermore, their practical application potential compared with other catalysts has been described. Finally, the challenges faced by CNT in practical application are clearly highlighted. This review should be of value in promoting the research of PS activation by CNT-based materials for degradation of organic pollutants and the corresponding practical applications.

Abstract
Exploring the application of high-efficiency bifunctional oxygen catalysts to rechargeable zinc-air batteries has been a research hotspot in recent years. We succeeded in obtaining NiCo2 NS with a hollow capsule structure through the self-sacrificing template method, which has a larger specific surface area and can provide more active sites for electrocatalysis relative to his solid. The introduction of S can change the valence distribution of N and the electronic structure of the M-N bond, so that NiCo2 NS exhibits excellent performance in the overpotential and stability of the oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions. It shows an overpotential of 154 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a half-wave potential of 0.76 V. When used as a bi-functional catalyst in zinc-air batteries, it exhibits good stability within 400 h. The flexible battery assembled by NiCo2 NS also shows excellent performance, and can be cycled stably for 20 h. The current maintains good stability when it is bent at different angles during the cycle.

Abstract
Fabricating high-efficiency catalysts of Pt nanoparticles coupled with single-atom sites (MNC) attracts intensive attention to accelerate the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Here we rationally design the low-Pt hybrid catalyst containing fine Pt nanoparticles coupled with Co-Nx moieties via a microwave-assisted heating process. The well-dispersed Pt nanoparticles are anchored by CoNC supports because of the metal-support interaction. Furthermore, the Co-Nx moiety acts as an electron donor to regulate the electronic structure of Pt through the electron synergistic effect, moderating the adsorption energy of oxygen intermediates on Pt sites, and then increasing the intrinsic activity of Pt. In addition, the overflow effect from CoNC to Pt facilitates a nearly four-electron process and enhances the kinetics of ORR. In acid media, the optimized 10% Pt/CoNC hybrid catalysts with Pt nanoparticles size (2.18 nm) exhibit improved ORR activity and robust durability, delivering a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.886 V and negligible loss after accelerated durability test, exceeding the best-in-class commercial Pt/C. The finding of the synergy between CoNC supports and Pt nanoparticles offers a novel ideation to construct various low-loading Pt-based hybrid catalysts.

Abstract
The development of non-precious based oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts with outstanding catalytic performance is desirable but still a grand challenge for practical Al-air battery. Herein, we report a vulcanization-assisted pyrolysis strategy for creating zeolitic imidazolate framework-derived catalysts with a N, S co-doped carbon support and highly exposed ZnS and Zn-Nx sites. The trithiocyanuric acid (TCA) is found not only to introduce S into the carbon derived from ZIF-8 and ZnS to adjust the electronic structure of carbon matrix during the pyrolysis, but also result in a shrinkage of carbon framework with a hierarchical porous structure. Such an architecture boosts abundant active sites exposed and accelerates remote mass transportation. As a result, the optimized 3.5ZnS/NSC-NaCl-900 delivers an impressive enhanced performance toward ORR in alkaline medium with a high half-wave potential of 0.905 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode), which is superior to most of non-precious metal-based catalysts. Density functional theory calculations unveil that the ZnS in 3.5ZnS/NSC-NaCl-900 can effectively lower the Gibbs energy barrier of crucial steps and therefore promotes the reaction kinetics. Furthermore, 3.5ZnS/NSC-NaCl-900 also displays greater power density and specific capacity than Pt/C in Al-air batteries.

Abstract
Nanoreactors with a delimited void space and a large number of mesoporous structures have attracted great attention as potential heterogeneous catalysts. In this work, a cobalt and nitrogen co-doped binary carbon@silica@carbon hydrophobic nanoreactor was synthesized by an in situ synthesis method. Cobalt porphyrin was used as an active component to construct Co-Nx sites, and the purpose of the double carbon layer coating was to enhance the hydrophobicity of the surface of the nanoreactor. The optimal nanoreactor could achieve 96.9% ethylbenzene conversion and 99.1% acetophenone selectivity and showed outstanding universality to many other aromatic alkanes. The superior performance was mainly due to the presence of double carbon layers and the high content of Co-Nx sites. The double hydrophobic carbon layer coating could not only promote the adsorption of organic molecules, but also implant Co-Nx active sites on both the inner and outer surfaces of the nanoreactor. This work proposed a meaningful strategy to obtain a highly efficient nanoreactor for C-H bond oxidation.

Abstract
Designing Pt-based nanoparticle (NP) catalysts is of great interest for the lowering of Pt usage and the enhancement of catalytic activity on the proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). However, it is still challenging to develop well-arrayed catalyst NPs on supports over multiple-length scales. Herein, we presented a facile strategy of producing well-ordered Pt-based NPs toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts assisted by the self-assembly of block copolymers. In contrast to the conventional Pt/C ORR catalysts with a random dispersion on carbon, the as-prepared Pt, PtCo, and PtCo@Pt NPs in our work were hexagonally arranged with a uniform quasi-spherical shape and ordered distribution. The systematic study related to their ORR activities revealed that the PtCo@Pt core-shell NP arrays were more active and more durable than PtCo, Pt, and the commercial Pt/C catalyst. In the rotating-disk electrode test, a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.86 V versus RHE and a 4-e ORR mechanism were found for PtCo@Pt. Single-cell performance showed that the current density and the peak power density of PtCo@Pt achieved 0.86 A/cm2@0.7 V and 1.05 W/cm2, respectively, with a Pt loading of ∼0.15 mg/cm2 on the cathode. Also, they held 81.4 and 82.9% retention, respectively, after the durability test in the single-cell test. Density functional theory calculation results revealed that PtCo@Pt NPs had a lower d-band center and a weaker oxygen binding energy compared to Pt and PtCo, which contributed to the enhancement of the ORR activity.

ACS OMEGA 2021; 6:20130-20138. [PMID: 34395965 PMCID: PMC8358961 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c01036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The large-scale and controllable synthesis of novel N-doped three-dimensional (3D) carbon nanocage-decorated carbon skeleton sponges (Co-NCMS) is introduced. These Co-NCMS were highly active and durable non-noble metal catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). This hybrid electrocatalyst showed high ORR activity with a diffusion-limiting current of 5.237 mA·cm-2 in 0.1 M KOH solution through the highly efficient 4e- pathway, which was superior to that of the Pt/C catalyst (4.99 mA·cm-2), and the ORR Tafel slope is ca. 67.7 mV·dec-1 at a high potential region, close to that of Pt/C. Furthermore, Co-NCMS exhibited good ORR activity in acidic media with an onset potential comparable to that of the Pt/C catalyst. Most importantly, the prepared catalyst showed much higher stability and better methanol tolerance in both alkaline and acidic solutions. The power density obtained in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell was as high as 0.37 W·cm-2 at 0.19 V compared with 0.45 W·cm-2 at 0.56 V for the Pt/C catalyst. In Co-NCMS, the N-doped carbon nanocages facilitated the diffusion of the reactant, maximizing the exposure of active sites on the surface and protecting the active metallic core from oxidation. This made Co-NCMS one of the best non-noble metal catalysts and potentially offers an alternative approach for the efficient utilization of active transition metals in electrocatalyst applications.

Abstract
Electrochemical devices, as renewable and clean energy systems, display a great potential to meet the sustainable development in the future. However, well-designed and highly efficient electrocatalysts are the technological dilemmas that retard their practical applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived electrocatalysts exhibit tunable structure and intriguing activity and have received intensive investigation in recent years. In this review, the recent progress of MOFs-derived carbon-based single atoms (SAs) and metal nanoparticles (NPs) catalysts for energy-related electrocatalysis is summarized. The effects of synthesis strategy, coordination environment, morphology, and composition on the catalytic activity are highlighted. Furthermore, these SAs and metal NPs catalysts for the applications of electrocatalysis (hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, carbon dioxide reduction reaction, and nitrogen reduction reaction) are overviewed. Finally, some current challenges and foresighted ideas for MOFs-derived carbon-based metal electrocatalysts are presented.

Abstract
Carbon materials derived from metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have excellent properties of high surface area, high porosity, adjustable pore size, high conductivity and stability, and their applications in catalysis have become a rapidly expanding research field. In this review, we have summarized the synthesis strategies of MOF-derived carbons with different physical and chemical properties, obtained through direct carbonization, co-pyrolysis and post-treatment. The potential applications of derived carbons, especially monometal-, bimetal-, nonmetal-doped and metal-free carbons in organo-catalysis, photocatalysis and electrocatalysis are analyzed in detail from the environmental perspective. In addition, the improvement of catalytic efficiency is also considered from the aspects of increasing active sites, enhancing the activity of reactants and promoting free electron transfer. The function and synergy of various species of the composites in the catalytic reaction are summarized. The reaction paths and mechanisms are analyzed, and research ideas or trends are proposed for further development.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting is considered a promising way of producing hydrogen and oxygen for various electrochemical energy devices. An efficient single, bi-functional electrocatalyst that can perform hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs) and oxygen evolution reactions (OERs) is highly essential. In this work, Co@NC core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple, eco-friendly, solid-state synthesis process, using cobalt nitrate and with pyrazole as the N and C source. The morphological analysis of the resulting Co@NC nanoparticles was performed with a scanning and transmission electron microscope, which showed Co nanoparticles as the core and the pyrolysis of pyrazole organic ligand N-doped carbon derived shell structure. The unique Co@NC nanostructures had excellent redox sites for electrocatalysis, wherein the N-doped carbon shell exhibited superior electronic conductivity in the Co@NC catalyst. The resulting Co@NC nanocatalyst showed considerable HER and OER activity in an alkaline medium. The Co@NC catalyst exhibited HERs overpotentials of 243 and 170 mV at 10 mA∙cm−2 on glassy carbon and Ni foam electrodes, respectively, whereas OERs were exhibited overpotentials of 450 and 452 mV at a current density of 10 and 50 mA∙cm−2 on glassy carbon electrode and Ni foam, respectively. Moreover, the Co@NC catalyst also showed admirable durability for OERs in an alkaline medium.

Abstract
Atomically dispersed transition metal-N x sites have emerged as a frontier for electrocatalysis because of the maximized atom utilization. However, there is still the problem that the reactant is difficult to reach active sites inside the catalytic layer in the practical proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) testing, resulting in the ineffective utilization of the deeply hided active sites. In the device manner, the favorite structure of electrocatalysts for good mass transfer is vital for PEMFC. Herein, a facile one-step approach to synthesize atomically dispersed Fe-N x species on hierarchically porous carbon nanostructures as a high-efficient and stable atomically dispersed catalyst for oxygen reduction in acidic media is reported, which is achieved by a predesigned hierarchical covalent organic polymer (COP) with iron anchored. COP materials with well-defined building blocks can stabilize the dopants and provide efficient mass transport. The appropriate hierarchical pore structure is proved to facilitate the mass transport of reactants to the active sites, ensuring the utilization of active sites in devices. Particularly, the structurally optimized HSAC/Fe-3 displays a maximum power density of up to 824 mW cm-2, higher than other samples with fewer mesopores. Accordingly, this work will offer inspirations for designing efficient atomically dispersed electrocatalyst in PEMFC device.

Abstract
Developing highly efficient and cost-effective catalyst with tuned microstructure holds great promise in the reduction of nitroaromatic compounds under mild reaction conditions. Herein, we report a new Co@NC-MF catalyst with a fascinating hierarchical flower-like architecture in situ assembled from uniform Co@NC nanoneedles, which can function as a favorable platform for the efficient reduction of nitroaromatic compounds in the presence of NaBH4. In addition with the structural advantage, the characterization and experimental results demonstrate the enormous advantage of interfacial synergistic catalysis in enhancing the catalytic performance. The outside electron-rich N-doped carbon layer as Lewis basic sites and the inside Co nanoparticles are responsible for the adsorption of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and generation of active hydrogen species, respectively. This work contributes to the construction of well-integrated composites with well-balanced interface synergy to boost the catalytic performance in various heterogeneous reactions.

Abstract
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a crucial step in fuel cells and metal-air batteries. It is necessary to expand the range of efficient non-precious ORR electrocatalysts on account of the low abundance and high cost of Pt/C catalysts. Herein, we synthesized crystalline cobalt-embedded N-doped carbon nanotubes (Co@CNTs-T) via facile carbonization of Co/Zn metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with dicyandiamide at different temperatures (t = 600, 700, 800, 900 °C). Co@CNTs- 800 possessed excellent ORR activities in alkaline electrolytes with a half wave potential of 0.846 V vs. RHE (Reversible Hydrogen Electrode), which was comparable to Pt/C. This three-dimensional network, formed by Co@CNTs-T, facilitated electron migration and ion diffusion during the ORR process. The carbon shell surrounding the Co nanoparticles resulted in Co@CNTs-800 being stable as an electrocatalyst. This work provides a new strategy to design efficient and low-cost oxygen catalysts.

Enhancing oxygen reduction reaction in air-cathode microbial fuel cells treating wastewater with cobalt and nitrogen co-doped ordered mesoporous carbon as cathode catalysts.

Abstract
The sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the cathode severely limits the energy conversion efficiency of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). In this study, cobalt and nitrogen co-doped ordered mesoporous carbon (Cox-N-OMC) was prepared by heat-treating a mixture of cobalt nitrate, melamine and ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC). The addition of cobalt nitrate remarkably improved the ORR reactivity, compared to the nitrogen-doped OMC catalyst. By optimizing the dosage of cobalt nitrate (x = 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 g), the Co0.8-N-OMC catalyst displayed excellent ORR catalytic performances in neutral media with the onset potential of 0.79 V (vs. RHE), half-wave potential of 0.59 V and limiting current density of 5.43 mA/cm2, which was comparable to the commercial Pt/C catalyst (0.86 V, 0.60 V and 4.76 mA/cm2). The high activity of Co0.8-N-OMC catalyst was attributed to the high active surface area, higher total nitrogen amount, and higher relative distribution of graphitic nitrogen and pyrrolic nitrogen species. Furthermore, single chamber microbial fuel cell (SCMFC) with Co0.8-N-OMC cathode exhibited the highest power density of 389 ± 24 mW/m2, chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal of 81.1 ± 2.2% and coulombic efficiency (CE) of 17.2 ± 2.5%. On the other hand, in the Co1.0-N-OMC catalyst, increasing the cobalt dosage from 0.8 to 1.0 g resulted in more oxidized-N species, and the reduced power generation in SCMFC (360 ± 8 mW/m2). The power generated by these catalysts and results of electrochemical evaluation were strongly correlated with the total nitrogen contents on the catalyst surface. This study demonstrated the feasibility of optimizing the dosage of metal to enhance wastewater treatment capacity.

Abstract
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an extremely important reaction in many renewable energy-related devices. The sluggish kinetics of the ORR limits the development of many fuel cells. Design and synthesis of highly efficient nonprecious electrocatalysts are of vital importance for electrochemical reduction of oxygen. Herein, we develop a graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)-derived bamboo-like carbon nanotubes/carbon-wrapped Co nanoparticles (BCNT/Co) electrocatalyst by a simple high-temperature pyrolysis and acid-leaching method. The catalytic performance of the as-designed electrocatalyst toward ORR outperforms the commercial Pt/C catalyst in alkaline solution. The onset potential of nonprecious BCNT/Co-800 catalyst was 1.12 V. The half-wave potential was 0.881 V. The result was superior to that of commercial Pt/C (0.827 V vs RHE). The Co nanoparticles, bamboo-like carbon nanotubes, defects, and Co-Nx active sites all result in the remarkable ORR activity, stability, and great methanol tolerance.

Recent Advances in Non-Precious Transition Metal/Nitrogen-doped Carbon for Oxygen Reduction Electrocatalysts in PEMFCs. Catalysts 2020.

Abstract
The proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have been considered as promising future energy conversion devices, and have attracted immense scientific attention due to their high efficiency and environmental friendliness. Nevertheless, the practical application of PEMFCs has been seriously restricted by high cost, low earth abundance and the poor poisoning tolerance of the precious Pt-based oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts. Noble-metal-free transition metal/nitrogen-doped carbon (M–NxC) catalysts have been proven as one of the most promising substitutes for precious metal catalysts, due to their low costs and high catalytic performance. In this review, we summarize the development of M–NxC catalysts, including the previous non-pyrolyzed and pyrolyzed transition metal macrocyclic compounds, and recent developed M–NxC catalysts, among which the Fe–NxC and Co–NxC catalysts have gained our special attention. The possible catalytic active sites of M–NxC catalysts towards the ORR are also analyzed here. This review aims to provide some guidelines towards the design and structural regulation of non-precious M–NxC catalysts via identifying real active sites, and thus, enhancing their ORR electrocatalytic performance.

Abstract
High dispersibility and rapid electron transfer are required for a highly efficient catalyst. In this work, such materials have been designed using a scalable hydrothermal method from graphene oxide and a metal–organic framework. A cross-linked three-dimensional graphene (3DGraphene) material loaded with mono-dispersed nitrogen-doped carbon-coated metallic Co (NC@Co) nanoparticles with uniform size of 12.2 nm (3DGraphene/NC@Co) has been obtained and exhibits excellent activity for catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol. Such high catalytic activity can be assigned to the highly energetic hot/free electrons arising from 3DGraphene under light illumination and the synergistic effect between 3DGraphene and NC@Co nanoparticles. The catalytic reaction can be finished in 240 s with NaBH4 as the reducing agent, and the corresponding rate constant (k) is 1.5 × 10−2 s−1, comparable to that of reported noble metal catalysts. Furthermore, the magnetic 3DGraphene/NC@Co materials are beneficial for the separation from the mixture after reaction and exhibit excellent cycling stability. Based on the highly energetic hot/free electrons, 3DGraphene loaded nitrogen-doped carbon-coated Co catalysts show remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activities.![]()

Abstract
Sodium-ion capacitors (SICs) have attracted enormous attention due to their high energy density and high power density. In this work, N and S codoped hollow carbon nanobelts (N/S-HCNs) are synthesized by a self-templated method. The as-synthesized carbon nanobelts exhibit excellent performance in pseudocapacitance and electric double layer anions adsorption. After pairing the N/S-HCNs cathode with a tin foil anode in a carbonate electrolyte, the obtained SIC achieves a high specific capacity of 400 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 (based on the mass of cathode material) and energy density of 250.35 Wh kg-1 at 676 W kg-1 (based on the total mass of cathode and anode materials). Besides, the presented SIC also demonstrates high cycling stability with almost 100% capacity retention after 10 000 cycles, which is among the best results of the reported SICs, suggesting the potential for high-performance energy storage applications.
