Iron Triad-Based Bimetallic M-N-C Nanomaterials as Highly Active Bifunctional Oxygen Electrocatalysts. ACS APPLIED ENERGY MATERIALS 2024; 7:4076-4087. [PMID: 38756864 PMCID: PMC11095250 DOI: 10.1021/acsaem.4c00366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
The use of precious metal electrocatalysts in clean electrochemical energy conversion and storage applications is widespread, but the sustainability of these materials, in terms of their availability and cost, is constrained. In this research, iron triad-based bimetallic nitrogen-doped carbon (M-N-C) materials were investigated as potential bifunctional electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The synthesis of bimetallic FeCo-N-C, CoNi-N-C, and FeNi-N-C catalysts involved a precisely optimized carbonization process of their respective metal-organic precursors. Comprehensive structural analysis was undertaken to elucidate the morphology of the prepared M-N-C materials, while their electrocatalytic performance was assessed through cyclic voltammetry and rotating disk electrode measurements in a 0.1 M KOH solution. All bimetallic catalyst materials demonstrated impressive bifunctional electrocatalytic performance in both the ORR and the OER. However, the FeNi-N-C catalyst proved notably more stable, particularly in the OER conditions. Employed as a bifunctional catalyst for ORR/OER within a customized zinc-air battery, FeNi-N-C exhibited a remarkable discharge-charge voltage gap of only 0.86 V, alongside a peak power density of 60 mW cm-2. The outstanding stability of FeNi-N-C, operational for about 55 h at 2 mA cm-2, highlights its robustness for prolonged application.

Electrochemical Kinetic Analysis of Carbon Steel Powders Produced by High-Energy Ball Milling. METALS 2022.

Abstract
This work reports on the electrochemical kinetic analysis of carbon steel powders produced during the milling of carbon steel chips for 2, 3, and 5 h under an air atmosphere in a high-energy ball miller. This work aims to fill the gap in the literature regarding the transformation processes that affect carbon steel powder production. This information can be crucial for specific powder metallurgy systems. The results obtained using the Rietveld refinement method showed a decrease in the crystallite size, an increase in the microstrain, and no changes in the lattice parameter with the milling process. The electrochemical results revealed a strong influence of anodic electroactivity with milling time in NaCl solution, in contrast with NaOH, where the influence of the milling process was not significant. These results clearly show the significant role of chloride ions in preventing the formation of a passive film in milling with NaCl solution and in contrast to the formation of a passive film that notoriously inhibits both the anodic and cathodic reactions in milling with NaOH solution. The novelty of this work lies in the experimental demonstration of milling’s influence on the surface properties of carbon steel powders that directly affect their electrochemical response.

Abstract
The exploration and development of different carbon nanomaterials happening over the past years have established carbon electrodes as an important electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction. Metal-free catalysts are especially promising potential alternatives for replacing Pt-based catalysts. This article describes recent advances and challenges in the three main synthesis manners (i.e., pyrolysis, hydrothermal method, and chemical vapor deposition) as effective methods for the production of metal-free carbon-based catalysts. To improve the catalytic activity, heteroatom doping the structure of graphene, carbon nanotubes, porous carbons, and carbon nanofibers is important and makes them a prospective candidate for commercial applications. Special attention is paid to providing an overview on the recent major works about nitrogen-doped carbon electrodes with various concentrations and chemical environments of the heteroatom active sites. A detailed discussion and summary of catalytic properties in aqueous electrolytes is given for graphene and porous carbon-based catalysts in particular, including recent studies performed in the authors’ research group. Finally, we discuss pathways and development opportunities approaching the practical use of mainly graphene-based catalysts for metal–air batteries and fuel cells.

Abstract
Pt(Cu) nanoparticles supported on CMK3 and CMK8 ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) have been synthesized by electroless deposition of Cu followed by galvanic exchange with Pt. The structural characterization by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction showed the formation of Pt(Cu) nanoparticles of 4–5 nm, in which PtCu alloys with contracted fcc Pt lattice and 70–80 at.% Pt was identified. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses indicated that the Pt(Cu) nanoparticles were mainly composed of a PtCu alloy core covered by a Pt-rich shell, in agreement with the steady cyclic voltammograms, which did not show any Cu oxidation peaks. Electroactive surface areas up to about 70 m2 gPt−1 were obtained. The onset potentials for CO oxidation and the oxygen reduction reaction were more negative and positive, respectively, as compared to Pt/C, thus indicating higher activity of these Pt(Cu) catalysts with respect to the latter. Based on the corresponding binding energies, these better activities were attributed to the favorable geometric and ligand effects of Cu on Pt, which were able to reduce the adsorption energy of the intermediates on Pt. Pt(Cu)/CMK3 showed competitive mass and specific activities, as well as better stability than Pt/C.

Abstract
Shape-controlled Pt nanoparticles (cubic, tetrahedral, and cuboctahedral) are synthesized using stabilizers and capping agents. The nanoparticles are cleaned thoroughly and electrochemically characterized in acidic (0.5 M H2SO4 and 0.1 M HClO4) and alkaline (0.1 M NaOH) electrolytes, and their features are compared to that of polycrystalline Pt. Even with less than 100% shape-selectivity and with the truncation at the edges and corners as shown by the ex-situ TEM analysis, the voltammetric features of the shape-controlled nanoparticles correlate very well with that of the respective single-crystal surfaces, particularly the voltammograms of shape-controlled nanoparticles of relatively larger size. Shape-controlled nanoparticles of smaller size show somewhat higher contributions from the other orientations as well because of the unavoidable contribution from the truncation at the edges and corners. The Cu stripping voltammograms qualitatively correlate with the TEM analysis and the voltammograms. The fractions of low-index crystallographic orientations are estimated through the irreversible adsorption of Ge and Bi. Pt-nanocubes with dominant {100} facets are the most active toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in strongly adsorbing H2SO4 electrolytes, while Pt-tetrahedral with dominant {111} facets is the most active in 0.1 M HClO4 and 0.1 M NaOH electrolytes. The difference in ORR activity is attributed to both the structure-sensitivity of the catalyst and the inhibiting effect of the anions present in the electrolytes. Moreover, the percentage of peroxide generation is 1.5-5% in weakly adsorbing (0.1 M HClO4) electrolytes and 5-12% in strongly adsorbing (0.5 M H2SO4 and 0.1 M NaOH) electrolytes.
