J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 676:871-883. [PMID: 39067222 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.07.176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Single-atom catalysts show good oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance in metal-air battery. However, the symmetric electron distribution results in discontented adsorption energy of ORR intermediates and a lower ORR activity. Herein, Fe-Co dual-atom catalyst with FeN3-CoN3 configuration was prepared by encapsulating nitrogen-rich ion (triethylenediamine cobalt complex, [Co(en)3]3+) in Fe based MOF cage to greatly enhance ORR performance. Due to the confinement effect of the MOF cage, the encapsulated [Co(en)3]3+ is closer to Fe of MOF, thus easily generating FeN3-CoN3 sites. The FeN3-CoN3 sites can break the symmetric electron distribution of single-atom sites, optimizing adsorption energy of oxygen intermediate. Thus, FeCo-NC exhibits extraordinary ORR activity with a high half-wave potential of 0.915 V and 0.789 V in alkaline and acidic electrolyte, respectively, while it was 0.874 V and 0.79 V for Pt/C. The liquid and solid Zn-air batteries with FeCo-NC as cathode show higher peak power density and specific capacity. DFT results indicate that FeN3-CoN3 site can reduce the reaction energy barrier of the rate-determining step resulting in an excellent ORR performance.

Abstract
Carbon-based metal-free materials are emerging as leading candidates to replace noble-metal catalysts in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, we introduce a facile secondary carbonation technique for fabricating Se and N co-doped metal-free catalysts using a zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF-8) as the precursor. The optimal electrocatalyst, designated SeNC-900, exhibited good ORR performance under both alkaline and acidic conditions, with half-wave potentials of 0.864 V and 0.731 V (vs. RHE), respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the enhanced activity of SeNC-900 originates from Se doping, which triggers an increase in the intrinsic defects of sp3-hybridized C. Concurrently, the sp3-hybridized C, in concert with Se dopant, modulates the electronic structure of the active C atoms. This work not only underscores the significance of tuning the electronic structure to boost catalytic performance by enriching intrinsic defects but also presents a fresh insight into the effect of heteroatom doping on carbon-based materials for electrocatalysis.

Abstract
The design and development of high-performance and long-life Pt-free catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of great important with respect to metal-air batteries and fuel cells. Herein, a new low-cost covalent organic frameworks (COFs)-derived CoNC single-atoms catalyst (SAC) is fabricated and compared with the engineered nanoparticle (NP) counterpart for ORR activity. The ORR performance of the SAC catalyst (CoSA@NC) surpasses the NP counterpart (CoNP-NC) under the same operation condition. CoSA@NC also achieves improved long-term durability and better methanol tolerance compared with the Pt/C. The zinc-air battery assembled by the CoSA@NC cathode delivers a higher power density and energy density than that of commercial Pt/C catalyst. Molecular dynamics (MD) is performed to explain the spontaneous evolution from clusters to single-atom metal configuration and density functional theory (DFT) calculations find that CoSA@NC possesses lower d-band center, resulting in weaker interaction between the surface and the O-containing intermediates. Consequently, the reductive desorption of OH*, the rate-determine step, is further accelerated.

Abstract
In the pursuit of optimizing Fe-N-C catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), the incorporation of alloy nanoparticles has emerged as a prominent strategy. In this work, we effectively synthesized the FeRu-NC catalyst by anchoring Fe-Ru alloy nanoparticles and FeN4 single atom sites onto carbon nanotubes. The FeRu-NC catalyst exhibits significantly enhanced ORR activity and long-term stability, with a high half-wave potential of 0.89 V (vs. RHE) in alkaline conditions, and the half-wave potential remains nearly unchanged after 5000 cycles. The zinc-air battery (ZAB) assembled with FeRu-NC demonstrates a power density of 169.1 mW cm-2, surpassing that of commercial Pt/C. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the synergistic interaction between the Fe-Ru alloy and FeN4 single atoms alters the electronic structure and facilitates charge transfer at the FeN4 sites, thereby modulating the adsorption and desorption of ORR intermediates. This enhancement in catalytic activity for the ORR process underscores the potential of this approach for refining M-N-C catalysts, providing novel insights into their optimization strategies.

Abstract
Iron-nitrogen-carbon single-atom catalysts derived from zeolitic-imidazolate-framework-8 (ZIF-8) have presented its great potential for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in Zn-air batteries (ZABs). However, due to insufficient active Fe-N sites, its ORR activity is inferior to Pt-based catalysts. Herein, a carboxylate (OAc) linker strategy is proposed to design a ZIF-8-derived FeNCOAc catalyst with abundant accessible Fe-N4 single-atom sites. Except that imidazole groups can coordinate with Fe ions, the OAc linker on the unsaturated coordination Zn nodes can anchor and coordinate with more Fe ions, resulting in a significant increase in Fe-N4 site density. Meanwhile, the corrosion of carbon skeleton by OAc oxidation during heat-treatment leads to improved porosity of catalyst. Benefitting from the highly dense Fe-N4 sites and hierarchical pores, the FeNCOAc endows superior performance in alkaline medium (E1/2 = 0.906 V), which is confirmed by density functional theory calculation results. Meanwhile, the assembled liquid ZAB delivers a favorable peak power density of 173.9 mW cm-2, and a high specific capacity of 770.9 mAh g-1 as well as outstanding durability. Besides, the solid-state ZAB also shows outstanding discharge performance.

Abstract
Exploring highly active electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has become a growing interest in recent years. Herein, an efficient pathway for designing MXene-based ORR/OER catalysts is proposed. It involves introducing non-noble metals into Vo (vacancy site), H1 and H2 (the hollow sites on top of C and the metal atom, respectively) sites on M2CO2 surfaces, named TM-VO/H1/H2-M2CO2 (TM = Fe, Co, Ni, M = V, Nb, Ta). Among these recombination catalysts, Co-H1-V2CO2 and Ni-H1-V2CO2 exhibit the most promising ORR catalytic activities, with low overpotential values of 0.35 and 0.37 V, respectively. Similarly, Fe-H1-V2CO2, Co-VO-Nb2CO2, and Ni-H2-Nb2CO2 possess low OER overpotential values of 0.29, 0.39, and 0.44 V, respectively, suggesting they have enormous potential as effective catalysts for OER. Notably, Co-H2-Ta2CO2 possesses the lowest potential gap value of 0.53 V, demonstrating it has an extraordinary bifunctional catalytic activity. The excellent catalytic performance of these recombination catalysts can be elucidated through an electronic structure analysis, which primarily relies on the electron-donating capacity and synergistic effects between transition metals and sub-metals. These results provide theoretical guidance for designing new ORR and OER catalysts using 2D MXene materials.

Abstract
Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) have attracted considerable attention for their high energy density, safety, low noise, and eco-friendliness. However, the capacity of mechanically rechargeable ZABs was limited by the cumbersome procedure for replacing the zinc anode, while electrically rechargeable ZABs suffer from issues including low depth of discharge, zinc dendrite and dead zinc formation, and sluggish oxygen evolution reaction, etc. To address these issues, we report a hybrid redox-mediated zinc-air fuel cell (HRM-ZAFC) utilizing 7,8-dihydroxyphenazine-2-sulfonic acid (DHPS) as the anolyte redox mediator, which shifts the zinc oxidation reaction from the electrode surface to a separate fuel tank. This approach decouples fuel feeding and electricity generation, providing greater operation flexibility and scalability for large-scale power generation applications. The DHPS-mediated ZAFC exhibited a superior peak power density of 0.51 W/cm2 and a continuous discharge capacity of 48.82 Ah with ZnO as the discharge product in the tank, highlighting its potential for power generation.

Abstract
Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of critical significance in the advancement of fuel cells and zinc-air batteries. The iron-nitrogen (Fe-Nx ) sites exhibited exceptional reactivity towards ORR. However, the task of designing and controlling the local structure of Fe species for high ORR activity and stability remains a challenge. Herein, we have achieved successful immobilization of Fe species onto the highly curved surface of S, N co-doped carbonaceous nanosprings (denoted as FeNS/Fe3 C@CNS). The induction of this twisted configuration within FeNS/Fe3 C@CNS arose from the assembly of chiral templates. For electrocatalytic ORR tests, FeNS/Fe3 C@CNS exhibits a half-wave potential (E1/2 ) of 0.91 V in alkaline medium and a E1/2 of 0.78 V in acidic medium. The Fe single atoms and Fe3 C nanoparticles are coexistent and play as active centers within FeNS/Fe3 C@CNS. The highly curved surface, coupled with S substitution in the coordination layer, served to reduce the energy barrier for ORR, thereby enhancing the intrinsic catalytic activity of the Fe single-atom sites. We also assembled a wearable flexible Zn-air battery using FeNS/Fe3 C@CNS as electrocatalysts. This work provides new insights into the construction of highly curved surfaces within carbon materials, offering high electrocatalytic efficacy and remarkable performance for flexible energy conversion devices.

Su T, Cai C. Ball-milled prepared Fe 3O 4-Fe SAs-NPs@NC catalyst synergistically facilitate the generation of reactive oxygen species for oxidative trifluoromethylation of alkenes. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 655:199-207. [PMID: 37939404 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.10.167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysts have recently regarded as a promising chose for the thermally-driven generation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) through catalytic reactions with molecular oxygen, which can facilitate this process by specific geometric and electronic structure. However, the oxidative trifluoromethylation of alkenes to α-trifluoromethylated ketones by CF3SO2Na is rarely reported in this system. In this work, we report a one-pot polymerization ball milling strategy to construct precursor, and then pyrolyze it to obtain specific carbon nanotubes matrix with Fe/Fe3O4 nanoparticles and single atoms Fe. Remarkably, the optimized catalyst (Fe3O4-FeSAs-NPs@NC-1) displays excellent catalytic performance, broad substrates and recyclability for this fluorination reaction via radical pathway. Based on characterizations and mechanistic studies, we discover that the coexistence of Fe/Fe3O4 and Fe-Nx not only synergistically facilitates the catalytic efficiency in altering the electronic structure of Fe sites, but also benefits the absorption of O2 and the ability of the thermally-driven generating ROS which can activate CF3SO2Na to CF3 radical. This work offers a method of designing Fe-based catalysts and also opens up a new thermal-heterogeneous catalysis way for the oxidative trifluoromethylation of alkenes.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 655:176-186. [PMID: 37935071 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.10.157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/09/2023]
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) derived carbon materials are considered to be excellent conductive mass transfer substrates, and the large specific surface area provides a favorable platform for loading metal nanoparticles. Tuning the coordination of metals through polyacid doping to change the MOF structure and specific surface area is an advanced strategy for designing catalysts. Modification of Fe-doped ZIF-8 pre-curing by pyrolysis of phosphomolybdic acid hydrate (PMo), Fe nanoparticles confined by Mo and N co-doped carbon frameworks (Fe-NP/MNCF) were fabricated, and the impact of PMo doping on the shape and functionality of the catalysts was investigated. The Zn-air battery (ZAB) driven CO2 electrolysis was realized by using Fe-NP/MNCF, which was used as bifunctional oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) catalysts. The results show that the half-wave potential (E1/2) of Fe-NP/MNCF is 0.89 V, and the limiting diffused current density (jL) is 6.4 mA cm-2. The ZAB constructed by Fe-NP/MNCF shows a high specific capacity of 794.8 mAh gZn-1, a high open-circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.475 V, and a high power density of 111.6 mW cm-2. Fe-NP/MNCF exhibited efficient CO2RR performance with high CO Faraday efficiency (FECO) of 87.5 % and current density for the generation of carbon dioxide (jCO) of 10 mA cm-2 at -0.9 V vs RHE. ZAB-driven CO2RR had strong catalytic stability. These findings provide new methods and techniques for the preparation of advanced carbon-based catalysts from MOFs.
