J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 678:343-352.

Abstract
Magnesium hydride (MgH2) as an ideal hydrogen storage carrier whose hydrogen storage performance can be effectively improved by transition metal-based catalysts. To construct highly active catalysts, much attention has been paid to the regulation of transition metal components while less attention has been paid to non-transition metal components especially oxygen, leading certain limitations. Herein, further improved hydrogen storage performance of MgH2 can be obtained by adjusting oxygen vacancy content in molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) catalyst. Specifically, compared with pure MgH2 (1.1 wt%) and MgH2-10 wt% MoO3 (4.5 wt%), more hydrogen (5.9 wt%) can be released by MgH2-10 wt% MoO3-x (MoO3 with abundant oxygen vacancies) at 300.0 °C within 499.0 s. Besides, superb capacity retention (6.1 wt%, 99.0 %) after 50 isothermal hydrogen ab/desorption cycles can be obtained for MgH2-10 wt% MoO3-x. Through rigorous comparative experiments and theoretical calculations, the excellent catalytic activity of MoO3-x is demonstrated to come from the abundant oxygen vacancies and the active substances (polyvalent Mo and nano-sized MgO) it assists to form during ball milling process. This work verifies the feasibility for further improving the catalytic activity of transition metal-based catalysts by tuning non-transition metal elements and thus provides a new strategy in catalyzed MgH2 system.

Abstract
The coordination between carrier and active metal is critical to the catalytic efficiency of ammonia borane (AB) hydrolysis reaction. In the present study, we report a new type of catalytic support based on molybdenum boride (MBene) MoAl1-xB and demonstrate that the effective combination of MoAl1-xB with Ru nanoparticles can realize the significantly enhanced performance for hydrogen generation. Owing to the efficient activation and dissociation of reactants, the optimal Ru/MoAl1-xB catalyst achieves the large turnover frequency of 494 molH2 molRu-1 min-1, high hydrogen generation rate of 119817 mL min-1 gRu-1 and favorable apparent activation energy of 39.2 kJ mol-1 for the catalytic hydrolysis of AB under alkaline-free condition. The isotopic test suggests the cleavage of OH bond in H2O is the rate-determining step for hydrolysis reaction, while the fracture of B-H bond in AB is also well revealed by attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Significantly, the flexible on-demand hydrogen generation is achieved by using chemical switches for on-off AB hydrolysis. This study provides a new support platform based on two-dimensional MBene to exploit efficient catalysts to boost AB dehydrogenation.

Abstract
Hydrolysis of ammonia borane (NH3BH3, AB) involves multiple undefined steps and complex adsorption and activation, so single or dual sites are not enough to rapidly achieve the multi-step catalytic processes. Designing multi-site catalysts is necessary to enhance the catalytic performance of AB hydrolysis reactions but revealing the matching reaction mechanisms of AB hydrolysis is a great challenge. In this work, we propose to construct RuPt-Ti multi-site catalysts to clarify the multi-site tandem activation mechanism of AB hydrolysis. Experimental and theoretical studies reveal that the multi-site tandem mode can respectively promote the activation of NH3BH3 and H2O molecules on the Ru and Pt sites as well as facilitate the fast transfer of *H and the desorption of H2 on Ti sites at the same time. RuPt-Ti multi-site catalysts exhibit the highest turnover frequency (TOF) of 1293 min-1 for AB hydrolysis reaction, outperforming the single-site Ru, dual-site RuPt and Ru-Ti catalysts. This study proposes a multi-site tandem concept for accelerating the dehydrogenation of hydrogen storage material, aiming to contribute to the development of cleaner, low-carbon, and high-performance hydrogen production 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
The electrocatalytic conversion of formate in alkaline solutions is of paramount significance in the realm of fuel cell applications. Nonetheless, the adsorptive affinity of adsorbed hydrogen (Had) on the catalyst surface has traditionally impeded the catalytic efficiency of formate in such alkaline environments. To circumvent this challenge, our approach introduces an interfacial push-pull effect on the catalyst surface. This mechanism involves two primary actions: First, the anchoring of palladium (Pd) nanoparticles on a phosphorus-doped TiO2 substrate (Pd/TiO2-P) promotes the formation of electron-rich Pd with a downshifted d band center, thereby "pushing" the desorption of Had from the Pd active sites. Second, the TiO2-P support diminishes the energy barrier for Had transfer from the Pd sites to the support itself, "pulling" Had to effectively relocate from the Pd active sites to the support. The resultant Pd/TiO2-P catalyst showcases a remarkable mass activity of 4.38 A mgPd-1 and outperforms the Pd/TiO2 catalyst (2.39 A mgPd-1) by a factor of 1.83. This advancement not only surmounts a critical barrier in catalysis but also delineates a scalable pathway to bolster the efficacy of Pd-based catalysts in alkaline media.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB) has emerged as a promising chemical hydrogen storage material. The development of efficient, stable, and cost-effective catalysts for AB hydrolysis is the key to achieving hydrogen energy economy. Here, cobalt phosphide (CoP) is used to anchor single-atom Pt species, acting as robust catalysts for hydrogen generation from AB hydrolysis. Thanks to the high Pt utilization and the synergy between CoP and Pt species, the optimized Pt/CoP-100 catalyst exhibits an unprecedented hydrogen generation rate, giving a record turnover frequency (TOF) value of 39911mo l H 2 mo l Pt - 1 mi n - 1 ${\mathrm{mo}}{{{\mathrm{l}}}_{{{{\mathrm{H}}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}{\mathrm{\ mo}}{{{\mathrm{l}}}_{{\mathrm{Pt}}}}^{{\mathrm{ - 1}}}{\mathrm{\ mi}}{{{\mathrm{n}}}^{{\mathrm{ - 1}}}}$ and turnover number of 2926829mo l H 2 mo l Pt - 1 ${\mathrm{mo}}{{{\mathrm{l}}}_{{{{\mathrm{H}}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}{\mathrm{\ mo}}{{{\mathrm{l}}}_{{\mathrm{Pt}}}}^{{\mathrm{ - 1}}}$ at room temperature. These metrics surpass those of all existing state-of-the-art supported metal catalysts by an order of magnitude. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the integration of single-atom Pt onto the CoP substrate significantly enhances adsorption and dissociation processes for both water and AB molecules, thereby facilitating hydrogen production from AB hydrolysis. Interestingly, the TOF value is further elevated to 54878mo l H 2 mo l Pt - 1 mi n - 1 ${\mathrm{mo}}{{{\mathrm{l}}}_{{{{\mathrm{H}}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}{\mathrm{\ mo}}{{{\mathrm{l}}}_{{\mathrm{Pt}}}}^{{\mathrm{ - 1}}}{\mathrm{\ mi}}{{{\mathrm{n}}}^{{\mathrm{ - 1}}}}$ under UV-vis light irradiation, which can be attributed to the efficient separation and mobility of photogenerated carriers at the Pt-CoP interface. The findings underscore the effectiveness of CoP as a support for single-atom metals in hydrogen production, offering insights for designing high-performance catalysts for chemical hydrogen storage.

Abstract
Zeolite-encaged metal nanoparticles (NPs) catalysts are emerging as a new frontier owing to their superior ability to stabilize the structure and catalytic performance in the thermal and environmental catalytic reaction. However, the pore size below 2 nm of the conventional zeolites usually limits the accessibility of metal active sites. Herein, Co-Cu NPs of about 2.5-3.5 nm were uniformly encapsulated in the intracrystalline mesoporous Silicalite-1 (S-1) through alkali-treatment ligand-assisted strategy. The obtained sample (termed CoxCu1-x@HS-1) exhibited efficient activity and stability in the ammonia borane hydrolysis with the highest TOF value of 21.46 molH2·molMe-1·min-1. UV-vis DRS spectra indicated that intracrystalline mesopores have greatly improved the openness and accessibility of the active sites, thus improving their catalytic performance. The introduction of Cu regulates the electronic properties of Co, further increasing hydrogen production activity. This research creates new prospects to design other high-performance hierarchical porous zeolite-confined metal/metal oxide catalysts.

[PMID: 37291046 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202305371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB) is a promising material for chemical H2 storage owing to its high H2 density (up to 19.6 wt %). However, the development of an efficient catalyst for driving H2 evolution through AB hydrolysis remains challenging. Therefore, a visible-light-driven strategy for generating H2 through AB hydrolysis was implemented in this study using Ni-Pt nanoparticles supported on phosphorus-doped TiO2 (Ni-Pt/P-TiO2 ) as photocatalysts. Through surface engineering, P-TiO2 was prepared by phytic-acid-assisted phosphorization and then employed as an ideal support for immobilizing Ni-Pt nanoparticles via a facile co-reduction strategy. Under visible-light irradiation at 283 K, Ni40 Pt60 /P-TiO2 exhibited improved recyclability and a high turnover frequency of 967.8 molH 2 ${{_{{\rm H}{_{2}}}}}$ molPt -1 min-1 . Characterization experiments and density functional theory calculations indicated that the enhanced performance of Ni40 Pt60 /P-TiO2 originated from a combination of the Ni-Pt alloying effect, the Mott-Schottky junction at the metal-semiconductor interface, and strong metal-support interactions. These findings not only underscore the benefits of utilizing multipronged effects to construct highly active AB-hydrolyzing catalysts, but also pave a path toward designing high-performance catalysts by surface engineering to modulate the electronic metal-support interactions for other visible-light-induced reactions.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB), a liquid hydrogen storage material, has attracted increasing attention for hydrogen utilization because of its high hydrogen content. However, the slow kinetics of AB hydrolysis and the indefinite catalytic mechanism remain significant problems for its large-scale practical application. Thus, the development of efficient AB hydrolysis catalysts and the determination of their catalytic mechanisms are significant and urgent. A summary of the preparation process and structural characteristics of various supported catalysts is presented in this paper, including graphite, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal oxides, carbon nitride (CN), molybdenum carbide (MoC), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), boron nitride (h-BN), zeolites, carbon dots (CDs), and metal carbide and nitride (MXene). In addition, the relationship between the electronic structure and catalytic performance is discussed to ascertain the actual active sites in the catalytic process. The mechanism of AB hydrolysis catalysis is systematically discussed, and possible catalytic paths are summarized to provide theoretical considerations for the designing of efficient AB hydrolysis catalysts. Furthermore, three methods for stimulating AB from dehydrogenation by-products and the design of possible hydrogen product-regeneration systems are summarized. Finally, the remaining challenges and future research directions for the effective development of AB catalysts are discussed.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB) is a potential hydrogen storage material with high-efficiency hydrolytic dehydrogenation under a suitable catalyst. Noble metal catalysts have drawn a lot of attention. In this study, a carbon-coated zeolite was obtained by calcination at high temperatures using glucose as a carbon source. Pt nanoparticles were fixed on a core-shell composite support by a simple chemical reduction method. A series of catalysts were prepared with different synthesis parameters. The results show that PSC-2 has excellent catalytic performance for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB in alkaline solution at room temperature, and the turnover frequency (TOF) is 593 min-1. The excellent catalytic performance is attributed to the carbon layer on the zeolite surface which inhibits the aggregation or deformation of metals in the catalytic reaction. The metal-support interaction activates the water and accelerates the rate-limiting step of hydrolysis. The activation energy (E a = 44 kJ mol-1) was calculated based on the reaction temperature. In addition, the kinetics of AB hydrolysis was studied, and the effects of catalyst concentration, AB concentration and NaOH concentration on AB hydrolysis rate were further investigated. The high-efficiency catalyst prepared in this work provides a new strategy for the development of chemical hydrogen production in the field of catalysis.

Abstract
Exploring efficient electrocatalysts with fundamental understanding of the reaction mechanism is imperative in CO2 electroreduction. However, the impact of sluggish water dissociation as proton source and the surface species in reaction are still unclear. Herein, we report a strategy of promoting protonation in CO2 electroreduction by implementing oxygen vacancy engineering on Bi2O2CO3 over which high Faradaic efficiency of formate (above 90%) and large partial current density (162 mA cm-2) are achieved. Systematic study reveals that the production rate of formate is mainly hampered by water dissociation, while the introduction of oxygen vacancy accelerates water dissociation kinetics by strengthening hydroxyl adsorption and reduces the energetic span of CO2 electroreduction. Moreover, CO3* involved in formate formation as the key surface species is clearly identified by electron spin resonance measurements and designed in situ Raman spectroscopy study combined with isotopic labelling. Coupled with photovoltaic device, the solar to formate energy conversion efficiency reaches as high as 13.3%.
