Abstract
The deposition of energy-harvesting Mn2O3 onto the "Cu" electrode is reported using pulsed laser ablation at the manganese-water interface. Conventionally, laser-induced plasma deposition is carried out by orthogonally placing the substrate (electrodes) in the plasma expansion. Here, underwater material deposition is observed on electrodes placed parallel to the plasma expansion. The possible role played by the fluid dynamically assisted microbubbles in transporting the materials onto electrodes is investigated here. To verify the influence of microbubbles, external electric fields are employed, and implications for the electrodes are characterized. The studies reveal that the external field intensifies the flow of the microbubbles towards the walls, which assists in the deposition of Mn2O3 on the electrodes.

Abstract
With their high volumetric capacity and electronic conductivity, sodium-selenium (Na-Se) batteries have attracted attention for advanced battery systems. However, the irreversible deposition of sodium selenide (Na2 Se) results in rapid capacity degradation and poor Coulombic efficiency. To address these issues, cubic α-Mn2 O3 is introduced herein as an electrocatalyst to effectively catalyze Na2 Se conversion and improve the utilization of active materials. The results show that the addition of 10 wt% Mn2 O3 in the selenium/Ketjen black (Se/KB) composite enhances the conversion from Na2 Se to Se by lowering activation energy barrier and leads to fast sodium-ion kinetics and low internal resistance. Consequently, the Mn2 O3 -based composite delivers a high specific capacity of 635 mAh ⋅ g-1 at 675 mA ⋅ g-1 after 250 cycles as well as excellent cycling stability for 800 cycles with a high specific capacity of 317 mAh ⋅ g-1 even at the high current density of 3375 mA ⋅ g-1 . Due to the cubic Mn2 O3 electrocatalyst, the performance of the composites is superior to existing state-of-the-art Na-Se batteries reported in the literature.

Abstract
The sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathode is challenging and hinders the growth of hydrogen fuel cells. Concerning kinetic values, platinum is the best known catalyst for ORR; however, its less abundance, high cost, and corrosive nature warrant the development of low-cost catalysts. We report the hydrothermal synthesis of two novel Mn-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [Mn2(DOT)(H2O)2]n (Mn-SKU-1) and [Mn2(DOT)2(BPY)2(THF)]n (Mn-SKU-2) (DOT = 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate; BPY = 4,4'-bipyridine). Mn-SKU-1 contains dimeric Mn(II) centers where the two corner-shared MnO6 octahedra fuse to give rise to an infinite Mn2O10 cluster, whereas the two Mn(II) ions coordinate to DOT and BPY moieties to give rise to a pillared structure in Mn-SKU-2 and form a 3D → 3D homo-interpenetration MOF with a twofold interpenetrated net. The pyrolysis of as-synthesized Mn-MOFs at 600 °C under N2 produced exclusively porous α-Mn2O3 composites (PSKU-1 and PSKU-2), with the BET surface area of 90.8 (for PSKU-1) and 179.3 m2 g-1 (for PSKU-2). These mesoporous MOF-derived α-Mn2O3 composites were modified as cathode materials for the electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen. The onset potential for the oxygen reduction reaction was found to be 0.90 V for PSKU-1 and 0.93 V for PSKU-2 versus RHE in 0.1 M KOH solution, with the current density of 4.8 and 6.0 mA cm-2, respectively, at 1600 rpm. Based on the RDE/RRDE results, the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction occurs majorly via the four-electron process. The electrocatalyst PSKU-2 is cheap, easy to use, retains 90% of its activity after 10 h of continuous use, and offers higher recyclability than Pt/C. The onset potential maximum current density and kinetic values (Jk = 11.68 mA cm-2 and Tafel slope = 85.0 mV dec-1) obtained in this work are higher than the values reported for pure Mn2O3.

Abstract
A series of novel MnxFey@SiO2 (x,y = 1-20%) nanocomposites were synthesized for the first time via the sol-gel/combustion method with different content of precursors (Mn and Fe acetate salts). The effect of precursor content and ratio on physicochemical properties were observed by various characterization methods. Moreover, Rhodamine B (RhB) was chosen as the target pollutant to test the performance of these nanocomposites under a photocatalytic Fenton-like reaction. The results showed that the nanocomposite morphology improved by increasing Fe and Mn content. In this study, interesting behavior was observed in BET results which were different from the fact that increasing metal content can decrease the surface area. This study revealed that one metal could be more critical in controlling the properties than another. Moreover, the precursor ratio appears to have a more tangible effect on the surface area than the effect of precursor content. Among all synthesized nanocomposites, Mn1Fe5@SiO2 showed the highest surface area of 654.95 m2/g. At optimum batch conditions (temp = 25 °C, catalyst dosage = 1 g L-1, H2O2 = 75 mmolL-1, and initial RhB concentration = 50 mg L-1), complete removal (simultaneous adsorption/degradation) occurred using Mn1Fe5@SiO2 at neutral pH. This study showed that the designed nanomaterial could be used as a dual functional adsorbent/photocatalyst in different environmental applications.

Abstract
AbstractFor more sustainability and marketing of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) in wastewater treatment, the sluggish kinetics of cathode oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and platinum scarcity (with its high cost) should be swept away. So, this work aimed to synthesize metal ferrite (MFe2O4; M = Mn, Cu, and Ni) -based activated carbon composites as inexpensive ORR cathode catalysts. The composites were synthesized using a facile modified co-precipitation approach with low-thermal treatment and labeled as MnFe2O4/AC, CuFe2O4/AC, and NiFe2O4/AC. The as-synthesized catalysts are physicochemically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared microscopy (FTIR), Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and electron spin resonance (ESR). The electrochemical catalytic performance toward ORR was studied in a phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at neutral media via cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). MnFe2O4/AC has the highest onset potential (Eonset) value of − 0.223 V compared to CuFe2O4/AC (− 0.280 V) and NiFe2O4/AC (− 0.270 V). MnFe2O4/AC also has the highest kinetic current density (jK) and lowest Tafel slope (− 5 mA cm−2 and − 330 mV dec−1) compared to CuFe2O4/AC (− 3.05 mA cm−2 and − 577 mV dec−1) and NiFe2O4/AC (− 2.67 mA cm−2 and − 414 mV dec−1). The ORR catalyzed by MnFe2O4/AC at pH = 7 proceeds via a 4e− -kinetic pathway. The ESR is in good agreement with the electrochemical analysis due to the highest ∆Hppvalue for MnFe2O4/AC compared to CuFe2O4/AC and NiFe2O4/AC. Thus, MnFe2O4/AC is suggested as a promising alternative to Pt- electrocatalyst cathode for MFCs at neutral conditions.

Abstract
Manganese oxidizing bacteria, Bacillus mycoides and Bacillus subtilis were isolated from mangrove soils and optimized for the removal of Mn(II) with simultaneous production of biogenic manganese oxide (BioMnOx). The removal rate of Mn(II) was 90% in 48 h for B. mycoides and 72 h for B. subtilis under the optimized conditions at pH 7, temperature 37 °C, 120 rpm, with 1% inoculum containing 10 mM MnCl2. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy dispersive X-Ray analysis (EDAX), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the synthesized biogenic manganese oxide. BioMnOx by Bacillus mycoides and Bacillus subtilis were identified as Bixbyite (Mn2O3) and Hausmannite (Mn3O4), respectively, with nano-sized monocrystalline nature. BioMnOx of Bacillus subtilis strain was more efficient in the removal of metals Zn and Co than BioMnOx of Bacillus mycoides except for mercury. The removal property of synthesized BioMnOx could be applied to treat multi-metal containing wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized MnFe2O4 solid nanospheres (MSN) calcined at different temperatures (200-500 °C) and MSN-based materials mixed with carbon black, for their use as electrocatalysts in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline medium (0.1 M KOH). It was demonstrated that the calcination temperature of MSN material determined its chemical surface composition and microstructure and it had an important effect on the electrocatalytic properties for ORR, which in turn was reflected in the performance of MSN/CB-based electrocatalysts. The study revealed that the presence of Mn species plays a key role in the ORR activity. Among tested, MSN200/CB and MSN350/CB exhibited the best electrochemical performances together with outstanding stability.

Abstract
Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains a pivotal factor in assessing the overall efficiency of energy conversion and storage technologies. A promising family of ORR electrocatalysts is mixed transition-metal oxides (MTMOs), which have recently gained a growing research interest. In this study, we developed MTMOs with different compositions (designated as AxB3−xO4; A = Cu, B = Co or Mn) anchored on two different carbon supports (activated carbon Vulcan XC-72 (AC) and graphene (G)) for catalyzing ORR in neutral media. Four different MTMO electrocatalysts (i.e., MnO2–CuO/AC, CoO–CuO/AC, CoO–CuO/G, and MnO2–CuO/G) were synthesized by a simple and scalable co-precipitation method. We documented the morphology and electrocatalytic properties of MTMO electrocatalysts using transmission and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and electrochemical techniques. Generally, MTMOs exhibited remarkably high ORR electrocatalytic activity with MTMOs anchored on an activated carbon support outperforming their respective MTMOs anchored on a graphene support, highlighting the importance of the catalyst support in determining the overall ORR activity of electrocatalysts. MnO2–CuO/AC has the highest diffusion limiting current density (j) value of 4.2 mA cm−2 at −600 mV (vs. SHE), which is ∼1.1–1.7-fold higher than other tested electrocatalysts (i.e., 3.9, 3.5, and 2.7 mA cm−2 for CoO–CuO/AC, CoO–CuO/G, and MnO2–CuO/G, respectively), and slightly lower than Pt/C (5.1 mA cm−2) at the same potential value. Moreover, all electrocatalysts exhibited good linearity and parallelism of the Koutechy–Levich (K–L) plots, suggesting that ORR followed first-order reaction kinetics with the number of electrons involved being close to four. Benefiting from their remarkable ORR electrochemical activities and low cost, our results reveal that non-precious MTMOs are efficient enough to replace expensive Pt for broad applications in energy conversion and electrocatalysis in neutral media, such as microbial fuel cells.

Abstract
Electrochemical water oxidation is one of the thrust areas of research today in solving energy and environmental issues. The morphological control in the synthesis of nanomaterials plays a crucial role in designing efficient electrocatalyst. In general, various synthetic parameters can direct the morphology of nanomaterials and often this is the main driving force for the electrocatalyst in tuning the rate of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for the electrochemical water-splitting. Here, a facile and cost-effective synthesis of spinel cobalt oxides (Co3O4) via a one-pot hydrothermal pathway with tunable morphology has been demonstrated. Different kinds of morphologies have been obtained by systematically varying the reaction time i.e. nanospheres, hexagon and nanocubes. Their catalytic activity has been explored towards OER in 1.0 M alkaline KOH solution. The catalyst Co3O4-24 h nanoparticles synthesized in 24 h reaction time shows the lowest overpotential (η) value of 296 mV at 10 mA cm-2 current density, in comparison to that of other as-prepared catalysts i.e. Co3O4-pH9 (311 mV), Co3O4-12 h (337 mV), and Co3O4-6 h (342 mV) with reference to commercially available IrO2 (415 mV). Moreover, Co3O4-24 h sample shows the outstanding electrochemical stability up to 25 h time.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 587:446-456. [PMID: 33383434 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2020.11.104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2020] [Revised: 11/22/2020] [Accepted: 11/26/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Tuning composition of Pd-based bimetallic electrocatalysts of high stability and durability is of great importance in energy-related reactions. This study reports the remarkable electrocatalytic performance of carbon-supported bimetallic Pd-Cu alloy nanoparticles (NPs) towards formic acid oxidation (FAO) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Among various bimetallic compositions, Pd3Cu/C alloy NPs exhibits the best FAO and ORR activity. During FAO reaction, Pd3Cu/C alloy NPs exhibits a peak with a current density of 28.33 mA cm-2 and a potential of 0.2 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) which is higher than that of the other PdCu compositions and standard 20 wt% Pd/C catalyst. Meanwhile, the onset potential (-0.09 V), half-wave potential (-0.18 V), limiting current density at 1600 rpm (-4.9 mA cm-2) and Tafel slope (64 mV dec-1) values of Pd3Cu/C alloy NPs validate its superiority over the conventional 20 wt% Pt/C catalyst for ORR. Experimental and DFT studies have confirmed that the enhanced activity can be attributed to the electronic effect that arises after Cu alloying which causes a downshift of Pd d-band center and structural effect that produces highly dispersed NPs over the carbon matrix with high electrochemically active surface area.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis and bifunctional oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities of a CuOx-CeO2/C electrocatalyst (EC) with rich oxide-oxide and oxide-carbon interfaces. It not only demonstrates a smaller Tafel slope (65 mV dec-1) and higher limiting current density (-5.03 mA cm-2) but also exhibits an onset potential (-0.10 V vs Ag/AgCl) comparable to that of benchmark Pt/C. Besides undergoing the favorable direct four-electron ORR pathway, it unveils a loss of 23% of its initial current after 6 h of a stability test and a negative shift of 4 mV in the half-wave potential after the accelerated durability test compared to the corresponding current loss of 28% and negative shift of 20 mV for Pt/C. It also reveals remarkable OER activity in an alkaline medium with a low onset potential (0.20 V) and a smaller Tafel slope (177 mV dec-1). The bifunctional ORR/OER activity of CuOx-CeO2/C EC can be ascribed to the synergistic effects, its unique structure with enriched oxygen vacancies owing to the presence of Ce4+/Ce3+, robust oxide-oxide and oxide-carbon heterointerfaces, and homogeneous dispersion of oxides over the carbon bed, which facilitates faster electronic conduction.

Abstract
The aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a promising renewable monomer to produce bio-based polymers such as polyethylene furanoate (PEF), has recently emerged as the subject of increasing interest. Here, holey 2 D Mn2 O3 nanoflakes were obtained by a facile thermal treatment of a Mn-based metal-organic framework (MOF) precursor. The structural and morphological properties of the nanoflakes were characterized by powder XRD, FTIR, SEM and TEM to explore the formation process. It was inferred that the linker loss in the MOF precursor and the oxidation of the Mn cation induced by the heat-treatment in air were responsible for the formation of holey 2 D Mn2 O3 nanoflakes. The specific morphology and redox cycle of the Mn cation on the surface endowed the synthesized nanoflakes with promising performance on the selective oxidation. The obtained nanoflakes calcined at 400 °C (M400) afforded over 99.5 % yield of FDCA at complete conversion of HMF, which is superior to the catalytic activity of commercial Mn2 O3 and activated MnO2 . To our knowledge, Mn2 O3 exhibiting such a high performance on the aerobic oxidation of HMF to FDCA has not yet been reported. Based on the investigation of the experimental parameters, a plausible reaction mechanism was proposed.

Abstract
Abstract
The study of hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts for water electrolysis is a developing field in which noble metal-based materials are commonly used. However, the associated high cost and low abundance of noble metals limit their practical application. Non-noble metal catalysts, aside from being inexpensive, highly abundant and environmental friendly, can possess high electrical conductivity, good structural tunability and comparable electrocatalytic performances to state-of-the-art noble metals, particularly in alkaline media, making them desirable candidates to reduce or replace noble metals as promising electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. This article will review and provide an overview of the fundamental knowledge related to water electrolysis with a focus on the development and progress of non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts in alkaline, polymer exchange membrane and solid oxide electrolysis. A critical analysis of the various catalysts currently available is also provided with discussions on current challenges and future perspectives. In addition, to facilitate future research and development, several possible research directions to overcome these challenges are provided in this article.
