J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 672:610-617.

Abstract
The development of a highly efficient, stable, and low-cost bifunctional catalyst is imperative for facilitating the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, significant challenges are involved in extending its applications to rechargeable zinc-air batteries. This study presents a bifunctional catalyst, Zr2ON2@NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH), that was developed by utilizing a urea-glass route for synthesizing the Zr2ON2 precursor, followed by riveting NiFe LDH nanosheets using a hydrothermal method. Specifically, the vertical distribution of NiFe LDH on the Zr2ON2 surface ensures the maximization of the number of accessible active sites and interfacial catalysis of NiFe LDH. Notably, Zr2ON2@NiFe LDH demonstrates ORR and OER bifunctional electrocatalytic behavior and high stability owing to its heterostructure and composition. Furthermore, a rechargeable zinc-air battery using a Zr2ON2@NiFe LDH electrocatalyst as the air cathode demonstrated a high peak power density (172 mW cm-2) and galvanostatic charge-discharge cycle stability (5 mA cm-2 over 443 h). Thus, this study presents an efficient and cost-effective strategy for the design of bifunctional electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Amid the world's escalating energy needs, rechargeable zinc-air batteries stand out because of their environmental sustainability, with their performance being critically dependent on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The inherent slow kinetics of the ORR at air electrodes frequently constrains their operational efficiency. Here, we develop a new self-catalytic approach for in situ growth of carbon nanotubes with new cathode material Co@CoN3/CNTs-800 without external additives. Density functional theory calculation reveals this method integrates nonprecious single-atom catalysis with spatial confinement, facilitating large-scale, in situ fabrication of CNTs, which can support dispersed atomic CoN3 sites and enforce spatial confinement on Co nanoparticles. The Co@CoN3/CNTs-800 electrode achieves an electron transfer number close to ideal (3.9 out of 4.0). In rechargeable zinc-air flow batteries, it achieves a peak power density of 169.5 mW cm-2 and a voltage gap that is only 1.6% larger than the original after 700 h. This work surmounts critical challenges in the ORR kinetics for zinc-air batteries.

Abstract
Unveiling the inherent link between polysulfide adsorption and catalytic activity is key to achieving optimal performance in Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Current research on the sulfur reaction process mainly relies on the strong adsorption of catalysts to confine lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) to the cathode side, effectively suppressing the shuttle effect of polysulfides. However, is strong adsorption always correlated with high catalysis? The inherent relationship between adsorption and catalytic activity remains unclear, limiting the in-depth exploration and rational design of catalysts. Herein, the correlation between "d-band center-adsorption strength-catalytic activity" in porous carbon nanofiber catalysts embedded with different transition metals (M-PCNF-3, M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) is systematically investigated, combining the d-band center theory and the Sabatier principle. Theoretical calculations and experimental analysis results indicate that Co-PCNF-3 electrocatalyst with appropriate d-band center positions exhibits moderate adsorption capability and the highest catalytic conversion activity for LiPSs, validating the Sabatier relationship in Li-S battery electrocatalysts. These findings provide indispensable guidelines for the rational design of more durable cathode catalysts for Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Herein, the few-layer Ti3C2Tx nanosheets loaded zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 nanoplates (Ti3C2Tx-ZIF-67) with a unique structure has been synthesized by surfactant control method, and then is employed as the core of precursor. A thin layer of polydopamine as the shell of precursor covered Ti3C2Tx-ZIF-67 forms a micro-nano reactor, leading to the confinement carbonization process. Consequently, a novel sensing material that few-layer Ti3C2Tx nanosheets loaded Co nanoparticles coated N-doped carbon (Ti3C2Tx-Co@NC) is obtained for the non-enzymatic determination of glucose. Owing to the impressive structure, the established glucose sensor based on Ti3C2Tx-Co@NC/glassy carbon electrode exhibits 0.5-100.0 μM of linear detection range and 66.8 nM of detection limit, which tends to detect low concentration of glucose. The synergistic few-layer Ti3C2Tx nanosheets, Co nanoparticles and NC are considered through a series of control experiments. First, few-layer Ti3C2Tx nanosheets provide a good transport channel for electron transfer, resulting in the lower steric hindrance. Second, Co nanoparticles provide active centers for the electrochemical detection. Third, N-doped carbon with conductivity and hydrophilia plays the role of stabilizing material structure to prevent the fragmentation of Ti3C2Tx and the agglomeration of Co nanoparticles. Such work proposes a confined strategy to develop MXene-ZIF-67-derived nanocomposite with high-performance structure.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted growing attention in electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems (e.g., Zn-air batteries, ZABs) owing to their structural tunability, ordered porosity and high specific surface area. In this work, for the first time, the three-dimensional (3D) highly open catalyst (CNFs/CoZn-MOF@COF) possessing hierarchical porous structure and high-density active sites of uniform cobalt (Co) nanoparticles and metal-Nx (M-Nx, M = Co and Zn) is demonstrated, which is fabricated using electrospinning technique in combination with MOF/COF hybridization strategy and direct pyrolysis. Benefiting from the well-designed branch-leaf nanostructures, plentiful and uniform active sites on the MOF/COF-derived carbon frameworks, as well as the synergistic effect of multiple active sites, CNFs/CoZn-MOF@COF catalyst achieves superior electrocatalytic activity and stability towards both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with a small potential gap (ΔE = 0.75 V). In situ Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicate that the CoOOH intermediates are the main active species during OER/ORR. Significantly, both aqueous and all-solid-state rechargeable ZABs assembled with CNFs/CoZn-MOF@COF as the air cathode show high open-circuit potential, outstanding peak power density, large capacity and long cycle life. More impressively, the obtained all-solid-state ZAB also displays superb mechanical flexibility and device stability under different, showcasing great application deformations potential in portable and wearable electronics. This work provides a new insight into the design and exploitation of bifunctional catalysts from MOF/COF hybrid materials for energy storage and conversion devices.

Abstract
Maximizing the utilization efficiency of monatomic Fe sites in Fe-N-C catalysts poses a significant challenge for their commercial applications. Herein, a structural and electronic dual-modulation is achieved on a Fe-N-C catalyst to substantially enhance its catalytic performance. We develop a facile multi-component ice-templating co-assembly (MIC) strategy to construct two-dimensional (2D) arrays of monatomic Fe-anchored hollow carbon nanoboxes (Fe-HCBA) via a novel dual-outward interfacial contraction hollowing mechanism. The pore engineering not only enlarges the physical surface area and pore volume but also doubles the electrochemically active specific surface area. Additionally, the unique 2D carbon array structure reduces interfacial resistance and promotes electron/mass transfer. Consequently, the Fe-HCBA catalysts exhibit superior oxygen reduction performance with a six-fold enhancement in both mass activity (1.84 A cm-2) and turnover frequency (0.048 e- site-1 s-1), compared to microporous Fe-N-C catalysts. Moreover, the incorporation of phosphorus further enhances the total electrocatalytic performance by three times by regulating the electron structure of Fe-N4 sites. Benefitting from these outstanding characteristics, the optimal 2D P/Fe-HCBA catalyst exhibits great applicability in rechargeable liquid- and solid-state zinc-air batteries with peak power densities of 186 and 44.5 mW cm-2, respectively.

Abstract
Building efficient and stable bifunctional electrocatalysts toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is crucial for the advancement of rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs). Here, a convenient in situ strategy is reported to controllably encapsulate CoFe alloy nanoparticles within N-doped carbon nanotubes (CoFe@NCNT). The abundant Co(Fe)-Nx active sites and the synergistic interaction between CoFe alloys and carbon nanotubes facilitate mass transfer and interfacial charge transfer, resulting in excellent dual functional electrocatalytic activity of OER/ORR with minor potential difference (ΔE = 0.73 V). Thus, the corresponding rechargeable ZAB displays high power density (194 mW cm-2), excellent specific capacity (795 mAh gZn-1), and favorable stability (900 cycles@5 mA cm-2). This work provides an approach for establishing low-cost bultifunctional electrocatalysts with excellent performance of non-noble metal nanoalloys.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs), distinguished by their exceptional atomic efficiency and modifiable coordination structures, find wide-ranging applicability, notably in the context of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we synthesized a Ti3C2Tx-based Ni single-atom catalyst (Ni SA@N-Ti3C2Tx) by immersing a single Ni atom into the Ti vacancies of Ti3C2Tx and using a N-doping strategy. X-Ray adsorption fine structure revealed the formation of local Ni-N1C1 and an unsaturated C-Ni-N bridge configuration for isolated Ni species. Moreover, Ni SA@N-Ti3C2Tx exhibited an excellent HER performance with an overpotential of 63 mV at 10 mV cm-2. This work could enable use of MXene-based SACs in the HER.

Abstract
The use of conductive MOFs (c-MOFs) in zinc-based batteries has been a popular research direction. Zinc-based batteries are widely used with the advantages of high specific capacity and safety and stability, but they also face many problems. c-MOFs have excellent conductivity compared with other primitive MOFs, and therefore have better applications in zinc-based batteries. In this paper, the transfer mechanisms of the unique charges of c-MOFs: hop transport and band transport, respectively, are discussed and the way of electron transport is further addressed. Then, the various ways to prepare c-MOFs are introduced, among which solvothermal, interfacial synthesis, and postprocessing methods are widely used. In addition, the applications of c-MOFs are discussed in terms of their role and performance in different types of zinc-based batteries. Finally, the current problems of c-MOFs and the prospects for their future development are presented.

Abstract
As an efficient, renewable and clean energy, hydrogen is expected to replace traditional fossil fuel energy in the future. Currently, platinum-based materials (Pt) are excellent electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), but their high cost and low natural abundance limit their widespread application. Therefore, it is urgent to develop low-cost, highly efficient and earth-abundant electrocatalysts to replace the precious platinum-based materials. In this study, a Co-based organic framework (ZIF-67) was grown on a flexible substrate carbon cloth (CC), and a V-doped CoP nanoarray (V-CoP/CC) was prepared using a simple in situ ion exchange/phosphating method. Due to its unique porous structure, effective doping of V atoms and the in situ electrode construction, the V-CoP/CC exhibited high electrolytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance, with an overpotential of 98 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. This work has important theoretical and practical significance for in situ construction of heteroatom-doped CoP electrodes.

Tuning pyridinic-N and graphitic-N doping with 4,4'-bipyridine in honeycomb-like porous carbon and distinct electrochemical roles in aqueous and ionic liquid gel electrolytes for symmetric supercapacitors. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 635:254-264. [PMID: 36587577 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2022.12.127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Doping engineering in nanostructured carbon materials is an effective approach to modify heteroatom species and surface electronic structures. Herein, an advanced electrode material based on a honeycomb-like porous carbon matrix with tunable N-doped configurations is prepared via 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bpy)-assisted pyrolysis of SiO2@ZIF-8 templates and subsequent etching treatment. Interestingly, the amounts of pyridinic-N and graphitic-N can be controlled by rationally varying the content of 4,4'-bpy which acts as the N source in the pyrolysis process. Both experimental results and density functional theory calculations have revealed that synergistically with 3D interconnected porous architecture, pyridinic-N and graphitic-N have different effects on the electrochemical performances in aqueous and ionic liquid gel electrolytes for symmetric supercapacitors. Highly exposed pyridinic-N endows the carbon electrode with a strengthened pseudocapacitance contribution manifested as a high specific capacitance of 436.1 F g-1 and exceptional stability of almost 100% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles at 10 A g-1 in the KOH/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) electrolyte. By contrast, graphitic-N is propitious for reinforced electrical double-layer capacitance contribution, reflected by a maximum energy density of 125.4 Wh kg-1 in the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate/poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (EMIMBF4/PVDF-HFP) electrolyte. This work offers an in-depth insight into the understanding of the energy storage mechanism of N-rich carbon electrodes in different electrolyte media.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been important electrochemical energy storage (EES) materials because of their rich species, large specific surface area, high porosity and rich active sites. Nevertheless, the poor conductivity, low mechanical and electrochemical stability of pristine MOFs have hindered their further applications. Although single component MOF derivatives have higher conductivity, self-aggregation often occurs during preparation. Composite design can overcome the shortcomings of MOFs and derivatives and create synergistic effects, resulting in improved electrochemical properties for EES. In this review, recent applications of MOF composites and derivatives as electrodes in different types of batteries and supercapacitors are critically discussed. The advantages, challenges, and future perspectives of MOF composites and derivatives have been given. This review may guide the development of high-performance MOF composites and derivatives in the field of EES.

Abstract
Alkaline nickel-zinc (Ni-Zn) batteries, as traditional rechargeable aqueous batteries, possess an obvious advantage in terms of energy density, but their development has been hindered by the anode-concerned problems, Zn dendrites, self-corrosion, passivation, deformation, and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, to solve these problems, a dual protective strategy is proposed toward the anode using ZnO as an initial active material, including a C coating on ZnO (ZnO@C) and a thin poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) layer coating on the electrode (ZnO@C-PVA). In a three-electrode configuration, the reversible capacity can reach 600 mAh g-1 for the ZnO@C-PVA. Using excessive commercial Ni(OH)2 as the cathode, the alkaline Ni-Zn cells exhibit good electrochemical performance: Discharge capacity can be as high as 640-650 mAh g-1 at 4 A g-1 with a Coulomb efficiency (CE) as high as 97-99% after activity, suggesting low self-corrosion and HER. Capacity retention is 97% after 1200 cycles, indicating rather good durability. The discharge capacity is even slightly increased with the increase of charge/discharge current density (≤8 A g-1), implying good rate performance. Additionally, the discharge voltage can reach 1.8 V (midpoint value) at various current densities, reflecting the fast reaction kinetics of the anode. Most importantly, no Zn dendrites and passivation are observed after long-term cycling. The strategy proposed here can solve the anode-concerned problems effectively, exhibiting a high application prospect.

Abstract
An unsustainable reliance on fossil fuels is the primary cause of the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions, which in turn lead to climate change. Green hydrogen (H2), which may be generated by electrolyzing water with renewable power sources, is a possible substitute for fossil fuels. On the other hand, the increasing intricacy of hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts that are presently being explored makes it more challenging to integrate catalytic theories, catalytic fabrication procedures, and characterization techniques. This review will initially present the thermodynamics, kinetics, and associated electrical and structural characteristics for HER electrocatalysts before highlighting design approaches for the electrocatalysts. Secondly, an in-depth discussion regarding the rational design, synthesis, mechanistic insight, and performance improvement of electrocatalysts is centered on both the intrinsic and extrinsic influences. Thirdly, the most recent technological advances in electrocatalytic water-splitting approaches are described. Finally, the difficulties and possibilities associated with generating extremely effective HER electrocatalysts for water-splitting applications are discussed.

Abstract
Earth-abundant tungsten carbide exhibits potential hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalytic activity owing to its Pt-like d-band electronic structure, which, unfortunately, suffers from the relatively strong tungsten-hydrogen binding, deteriorating its HER performance. Herein, a catalyst design concept of incorporating late transition metal into early transition metal carbide is proposed for regulating the metal-H bonding strength and largely enhancing the HER performance, which is employed to synthesize CoW bi-metallic carbide Co6 W6 C by a "disassembly-assembly" approach in a confined environment. Such synthesized Co6 W6 C nanocatalyst features the optimal Gibbs free energy of *H intermediate and dissociation barrier energy of H2 O molecules as well by taking advantage of the electron complementary effect between Co and W species, which endows the electrocatalyst with excellent HER performance in both alkaline and seawater/alkaline electrolytes featuring especially low overpotentials, elevated current densities, and much-enhanced operation durability in comparison to commercial Pt/C catalyst. Moreover, a proof-of-concept Mg/seawater battery equipped with Co6 W6 C-2-600 as cathode offers a peak power density of 9.1 mW cm-2 and an open-circuit voltage of ≈1.71 V, concurrently realizing hydrogen production and electricity output.

Abstract
3d Transition-metal nitrogen-carbon nanocomposites (T-N-C, T = Fe, Co, Ni, etc.) with highly active M-Nx sites have received much attention in the field of rechargeable zinc-air battery research. However, how to rationally dope metallic elements to decorate T-N-C catalysts and enhance their electrocatalytic performances remains unclear. Herein, we demonstrated that cobalt-doped Fe-rich catalysts are effective in improving ORR performances by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. On this basis, we reported a kind of novel bifunctional electrocatalyst of hollow nitrogen-doped carbon tubes with coexisting M-N-C single atoms and alloy nanoparticles (denoted FexCoyNiz@hNCTs). Benefiting from the synergistic effect between different components, the as-prepared Fe4Co1Ni2@hNCT catalyst exhibited a small overpotential difference of 0.75 V between an OER potential at 10 mA cm-2 and an ORR half-wave potential, as well as an excellent zinc-air battery performance, when serving as the air cathode. This work provided a scalable design concept for multi-metal doping toward high-performance T-N-C electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Electro-organic synthesis has attracted a lot of attention in pharmaceutical science, medicinal chemistry, and future industrial applications in energy storage and conversion. To date, there has not been a detailed review on electro-organic synthesis with the strategy of heterogeneous catalysis. In this review, the most recent advances in synthesizing value-added chemicals by heterogeneous catalysis are summarized. An overview of electrocatalytic oxidation and reduction processes as well as paired electrocatalysis is provided, and the anodic oxidation of alcohols (monohydric and polyhydric), aldehydes, and amines are discussed. This review also provides in-depth insight into the cathodic reduction of carboxylates, carbon dioxide, CC, C≡C, and reductive coupling reactions. Moreover, the electrocatalytic paired electro-synthesis methods, including parallel paired, sequential divergent paired, and convergent paired electrolysis, are summarized. Additionally, the strategies developed to achieve high electrosynthesis efficiency and the associated challenges are also addressed. It is believed that electro-organic synthesis is a promising direction of organic electrochemistry, offering numerous opportunities to develop new organic reaction methods.

Abstract
Zinc–air batteries (ZABs) have been considered as a next-generation battery system with high energy density and abundant resources. However, the sluggish multi-step reaction of the oxygen is the main obstacle for the practical application of ZABs. Therefore, bifunctional electrocatalysts with high stability and activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are greatly required to promote the catalytic reaction. In this review, we first explain the reaction mechanism of the ZABs, mainly focusing on multiple oxygen intermediates. Then, the latest studies on bifunctional electrocatalysts for the air cathodes and their progress of the ZABs are discussed with following aspects: platinum group metal, metal-free, transition metal, and metal compound-derived electrocatalysts. Finally, we highlight the advanced ZAB systems with the design of the full-temperature range operation, the all-solid-state, and the newly reported non-alkaline electrolyte, summarizing the remaining challenges and requirements of the future research directions. This work reviews latest research on the bifunctional electrocatalysts for air cathodes, introducing the advanced zinc–air batteries with the full-temperature range operation, all-solid-states, and newly reported non-alkaline electrolytes.![]()

Abstract
The excessive dependence on fossil fuels contributes to the majority of CO2 emissions, influencing on the climate change. One promising alternative to fossil fuels is green hydrogen, which can be produced through water electrolysis from renewable electricity. However, the variety and complexity of hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts currently studied increases the difficulty in the integration of catalytic theory, catalyst design and preparation, and characterization methods. Herein, this review first highlights design principles for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts, presenting the thermodynamics, kinetics, and related electronic and structural descriptors for HER. Second, the reasonable design, preparation, mechanistic understanding, and performance enhancement of electrocatalysts are deeply discussed based on intrinsic and extrinsic effects. Third, recent advancements in the electrocatalytic water splitting technology are further discussed briefly. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of the development of highly efficient hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts for water splitting are proposed.

Exploiting the Multifunctionality of M 2+/Imidazole-Etidronates for Proton Conductivity (Zn 2+) and Electrocatalysis (Co 2+, Ni 2+) toward the HER, OER, and ORR. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2022; 14:11273-11287. [PMID: 35192337 PMCID: PMC8915163 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.1c21876] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 02/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
This work deals with the synthesis and characterization of one-dimensional (1D) imidazole-containing etidronates, [M2(ETID)(Im)3]·nH2O (M = Co2+ and Ni2+; n = 0, 1, 3) and [Zn2(ETID)2(H2O)2](Im)2, as well as the corresponding Co2+/Ni2+ solid solutions, to evaluate their properties as multipurpose materials for energy conversion processes. Depending on the water content, metal ions in the isostructural Co2+ and Ni2+ derivatives are octahedrally coordinated (n = 3) or consist of octahedral together with dimeric trigonal bipyramidal (n = 1) or square pyramidal (n = 0) environments. The imidazole molecule acts as a ligand (Co2+, Ni2+ derivatives) or charge-compensating protonated species (Zn2+ derivative). For the latter, the proton conductivity is determined to be ∼6 × 10-4 S·cm-1 at 80 °C and 95% relative humidity (RH). By pyrolyzing in 5%H2-Ar at 700-850 °C, core-shell electrocatalysts consisting of Co2+-, Ni2+-phosphides or Co2+/Ni2+-phosphide solid solution particles embedded in a N-doped carbon graphitic matrix are obtained, which exhibit improved catalytic performances compared to the non-N-doped carbon materials. Co2+ phosphides consist of CoP and Co2P in variable proportions according to the used precursor and pyrolytic conditions. However, the Ni2+ phosphide is composed of Ni2P exclusively at high temperatures. Exploration of the electrochemical activity of these metal phosphides toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) reveals that the anhydrous Co2(ETID)(Im)3 pyrolyzed at 800 °C (CoP/Co2P = 80/20 wt %) is the most active trifunctional electrocatalyst, with good integrated capabilities as an anode for overall water splitting (cell voltage of 1.61 V) and potential application in Zn-air batteries. This solid also displays a moderate activity for the HER with an overpotential of 156 mV and a Tafel slope of 79.7 mV·dec-1 in 0.5 M H2SO4. Ni2+- and Co2+/Ni2+-phosphide solid solutions show lower electrochemical performances, which are correlated with the formation of less active crystalline phases.
