Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:505. [PMID: 38399883 PMCID: PMC10893250 DOI: 10.3390/polym16040505] [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: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The development of precious metal-free (M-N-C) catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is considered crucial for reducing fuel cell costs. Herein, Co-Zn/NC interconnected frameworks with uniformly dispersed Co nanoparticles and graphitic carbon are designed and successfully synthesized through the in situ growth of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF67 and ZIF8) along with biomass nano-microfibrillar cellulose (MFC), followed by pyrolysis. A Co-Zn/NC composite is prepared by combining Co-Zn/NC with a perfluorosulfonic acid polymer. The Co-Zn/NC composite catalyst exhibits excellent ORR catalytic activity (E0 = 0.974 V vs. RHE, E1/2 = 0.858 V vs. RHE) and good long-term durability, with 90% current retention after 10000s, surpassing that of commercial Pt/C in alkaline media. The hierarchical porous structure, coupled with the uniform distribution of Co nanoparticles and nitrogen doping, contributes to superior electrocatalytic performance, while the interconnected frameworks and graphitic carbon ensure good stability. Additionally, the Co-Zn/NC composite demonstrates promising applications in acidic media. This strategy offers significant guidance to develop advanced non-precious metal carbon-based catalysts for highly efficient and stable ORR.

Abstract
Co3O4, as the support of single-atom catalysts, is effective in electron-structure modulation to get distinct methanol adsorption behaviors and adjustable reaction pathways for the methanol oxidation reaction. Herein, we considered the facets that constitute a Co vacancy of the Co3O4(111) facet and a foreign metal atom M (M = Fe, Ni, Cu, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Mn) leading to single-atom catalysts. The Mn1@Co3O4(111) facet is the facet considered the most favorable among all of the possible terminations. Oxygen adsorption, decomposition, and its co-adsorption with methanol are the vital steps of methanol oxidation at the exposed Mn1@Co3O4(111) facet, giving rise to the stable configuration: two O* and one CH3OH* adsorbates. Then, the Mn1@Co3O4(111) facet activates the O-H and C-H bonds within CH3OH*, advances CH3O* → H2CO* → HCOO* → COO*, and releases the products H2, H2O, and CO2 consecutively.

Abstract
To find a low-Pt electrocatalyst that is functionally integrated and superior to the state-of-the-art single-Pt electrocatalyst is expectedly a challenge. We have in this study found that the reactivity of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes (viz., four half-cell reactions), can be modified and greatly enhanced by the electronic and/or synergistic effects of a low-Pt octahedral PtCuCo alloy. For the ORR, the mass activity (MA) of Pt0.23Cu0.64Co0.13/C in an acidic or alkaline electrolyte was 14.3 or 10.7 times that of the commercial Pt/C. For the MOR, the MA of Pt0.23Cu0.64Co0.13/C in an acidic or alkaline electrolyte was 7.2 or 3.4 times that of the commercial Pt/C. In addition, Pt0.23Cu0.64Co0.13/C exhibited an increased durability and CO tolerance, as compared with the commercial Pt/C. Density functional theory calculations demonstrated that the PtCuCo(111) surface can effectively optimize the O* binding energy. This work has successfully shown an example of how both acidic and alkaline ORR and MOR activities can be significantly synchronously enhanced.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 645:329-337.

Abstract
Developing highly efficient, low-cost, and stable bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts is essential for the wide popularization of rechargeable Zn-air batteries. Combining zero-dimensional metal nanoparticles with two-dimensional metal oxide nanosheets is an appealing strategy to balance performance and cost. However, the precise construction of these composites remains a great challenge, and their interaction mechanisms lack thorough study. Herein, a cobalt-oxide-based bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst comprising a rich Co-CoO heterointerface (CoO/Co@NG) was synthesized via a NaCl sealing-assisted pyrolysis strategy. The NaCl crystals played the role of a closed nanoreactor, which facilitated the formation of a CoO-Co heterojunction. Experimental results and theoretical calculations confirmed that the ingeniously constructed heterojunction expedited the oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction kinetics, which is superior to Pt/C. When serving as the air electrode in an assembled liquid-state Zn-air battery, the battery shows high power density (215 mW cm-2), specific capacity (710 mAh gzn-1), and outstanding durability (720 h at 10 mA cm-2). This work provides an innovative avenue to design high-performance heterojunction electrocatalysts for perdurable Zn-air batteries.
