Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202312457. [PMID: 37831589 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202312457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023]
Abstract
Super-reduction of polyoxometalates (POMs) in solution is of fundamental interest for designing innovative energy storage systems. In this article, we show that the "Dawson-like" POM can undergo a disproportionation process during its massive electron uptake, leading to species containing three metal-metal bonds as evidenced by X-ray diffraction, multi-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1 H and 183 W NMR), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), UV/Vis, and voltammetry techniques. This result indicates that electron storing within metal-metal bonds is not a unique property of Keggin-type POM as postulated since the 70s. Besides, we demonstrate that the presence of an electron-rich triad in the "Dawson-like" POM allows its post-functionalization with additional tungstate ions, generating a chiral molecule that is also the largest WIV -containing POMs known to date.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic oxidation offers opportunities for sustainable environmental remediation, but it is often hampered by the slow mass transfer and short lives of electro-generated radicals. Here, we achieve a four times higher kinetic constant (18.9 min-1) for the oxidation of 4-chlorophenol on the reactive electrochemical membrane by reducing the pore size from 105 to 7 μm, with the predominate mechanism shifting from hydroxyl radical oxidation to direct electron transfer. More interestingly, such an enhancement effect is largely dependent on the molecular structure and its sensitivity to the direct electron transfer process. The spatial distributions of reactant and hydroxyl radicals are visualized via multiphysics simulation, revealing the compressed diffusion layer and restricted hydroxyl radical generation in the microchannels. This study demonstrates that both the reaction kinetics and the electron transfer pathway can be effectively regulated by the spatial confinement effect, which sheds light on the design of cost-effective electrochemical platforms for water purification and chemical synthesis.

Abstract
The water-gas shift (WGS) reaction is often conducted at elevated temperature and requires energy-intensive separation of hydrogen (H2 ) from methane (CH4 ), carbon dioxide (CO2 ), and residual carbon monoxide (CO). Designing processes to decouple CO oxidation and H2 production provides an alternative strategy to obtain high-purity H2 streams. We report an electrothermal WGS process combining thermal oxidation of CO on a silicomolybdic acid (SMA)-supported Pd single-atom catalyst (Pd1 /CsSMA) and electrocatalytic H2 evolution. The two half-reactions are coupled through phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) as a redox mediator at a moderate anodic potential of 0.6 V (versus Ag/AgCl). Under optimized conditions, our catalyst exhibited a TOF of 1.2 s-1 with turnover numbers above 40 000 mol CO 2 ${{_{{\rm CO}{_{2}}}}}$ molPd -1 achieving stable H2 production with a purity consistently exceeding 99.99 %.

Abstract
Anilines and substituted anilines are used on the multi-ton scale for producing polymers, pharmaceuticals, dyes, and other important compounds. Typically, these anilines are produced from their corresponding nitrobenzene precursors by reaction with hydrogen at high temperatures. However, this route suffers from a number of drawbacks, including the requirement to handle hydrogen gas, rather harsh reaction conditions that lead to a lack of selectivity and/or toleration of certain functional groups, and questionable environmental sustainability. In light of this, routes to the reduction of nitrobenzenes to their aniline derivatives that operate at room temperature, in aqueous solvent, and without the requirement to use harsh process conditions, hydrogen gas, or sacrificial reagents could be of tremendous benefit. Herein, we report on a highly selective electrocatalytic route for the reduction of nitrobenzenes to their corresponding anilines that works in aqueous solution at room temperature and which does not require the use of hydrogen gas or sacrificial reagents. The method uses a polyoxometalate redox mediator, which reversibly accepts electrons from the cathode and reacts with the nitrobenzenes in solution to reduce them to the corresponding anilines. A variety of substituted nitroarenes are explored as substrates, including those with potentially competing reducible groups and substrates that are difficult to reduce selectively by other means. In all cases, the selectivity for the redox-mediated route is higher than that for the direct reduction of the nitroarene substrates at the electrode, suggesting that redox-mediated electrochemical nitroarene reduction is a promising avenue for the more sustainable synthesis of substituted anilines.

Abstract
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a key energy conversion process, which is critical for the efficient operation of fuel cells and metal–air batteries. Here, we report the significant enhancement of the ORR‐performance of commercial platinum‐on‐carbon electrocatalysts when operated in aqueous electrolyte solutions (pH 5.6), containing the polyoxoanion [Fe28(μ3‐O)8(L‐(−)‐tart)16(CH3COO)24]20−. Mechanistic studies provide initial insights into the performance‐improving role of the iron oxide cluster during ORR. Technological deployment of the system is demonstrated by incorporation into a direct formate microfluidic fuel cell (DFMFC), where major performance increases are observed when compared with reference electrolytes. The study provides the first examples of iron oxide clusters in electrochemical energy conversion and storage.
