Abstract
Anthropogenic activities related to population growth, economic development, technological advances, and changes in lifestyle and climate patterns result in a continuous increase in energy consumption. At the same time, the rare metal elements frequently deployed as catalysts in energy related processes are not only costly in view of their low natural abundance, but their availability is often further limited due to geopolitical reasons. Thus, electrochemical energy storage and conversion with earth-abundant metals, mainly in the form of single-atom catalysts (SACs), are highly relevant and timely technologies. In this review the application of earth-abundant SACs in electrochemical energy storage and electrocatalytic conversion of chemicals to fuels or products with high energy content is discussed. The oxygen reduction reaction is also appraised, which is primarily harnessed in fuel cell technologies and metal-air batteries. The coordination, active sites, and mechanistic aspects of transition metal SACs are analyzed for two-electron and four-electron reaction pathways. Further, the electrochemical water splitting with SACs toward green hydrogen fuel is discussed in terms of not only hydrogen evolution reaction but also oxygen evolution reaction. Similarly, the production of ammonia as a clean fuel via electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction is portrayed, highlighting the potential of earth-abundant single metal species.

Trifunctional phosphorus-doped cobalt molybdate catalyst in self-driven coupling systems for synchronized sulfur recovery and hydrogen evolution. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 674:145-157. [PMID: 38925060 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.06.051] [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: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
This study introduces a self-driven system that effectively achieves synchronized sulfur recovery and hydrogen production using a Zn-air battery. The system ingeniously integrates the sulfur oxidation reaction (SOR) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) into a single, efficient process. Central to this system is the trifunctional phosphorus-doped cobalt molybdate catalyst (P-CoMoO4/NF), which exhibits superior performance in both HER (ηj = 100 = 0.13 V) and SOR (ηj = 100 = 0.30 V) with remarkable stability (∼360 h), reaching 0.64 V at 100 mA cm-2 for simultaneous sulfur ion degradation and hydrogen production. Through density functional theory simulations and extensive characterizations, it has been shown that phosphorus doping in the cobalt molybdate catalyst facilitates electron redistribution, enhancing the catalyst's conductivity, generating more oxygen vacancies, and promoting improved mass and electron transfer. This modification also lowers the energy barrier for adsorbing reaction intermediates, thus increasing the hydrogen production rate and sulfur oxide conversion in this self-powered system. In summary, this research marks a substantial advancement in the development of trifunctional catalysts and proposes an eco-friendly, cost-effective strategy for integrated reaction systems, paving the way for sustainable energy solutions.

Abstract
M-N-C single-atom catalysts (SACs) are promising electrode materials for many electro-reduction reactions. However, their stability is far from practical applications, and their deactivation mechanism has been rarely investigated. Herein, we demonstrate the structural degradation of M-N-C (M=Co, Ni, and Fe) at industrial-grade current density for long-term electro-reduction. Both M-N and N-C bonds are broken, resulting in the gradual hydrogenation and dissolution of N in the form of ammonia. The residual M is finally converted to M-containing core-shell nanoparticles after sequential dissolution, redeposition, and electro-reduction. The destruction of the M-N-C structure and the formation of nanoparticles greatly affect the electrocatalytic performance. Our work highlights the structural degradation and deactivation mechanism of M-N-C-type SACs under strong reductive conditions and provides useful information for inspiring researchers to develop new strategies to improve the electrocatalytic stability of similar types of materials.

Abstract
Development of efficient and easy-to-prepare low-cost oxygen reaction electrocatalysts is essential for widespread application of rechargeable Zn-air batteries (ZABs). Herein, we mixed NaCl and ZIF-8 by simple physical milling and pyrolysis to obtain a metal-free porous electrocatalyst doped with Cl (mf-pClNC). The mf-pClNC electrocatalyst exhibits a good oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity (E1/2 =0.91 V vs. RHE) and high stability in alkaline electrolyte, exceeding most of the reported transition metal carbon-based electrocatalysts and being comparable to commercial Pt/C electrocatalysts. Likewise, the mf-pClNC electrocatalyst also shows state-of-the-art ORR activity and stability in acidic electrolyte. From experimental and theoretical calculations, the better ORR activity is most likely originated from the fact that the introduced Cl promotes the increase of sp3 -hybridized carbon, while the sp3 -hybridized carbon and Cl together modify the electronic structure of the N-adjacent carbons, as the active sites, while NaCl molten-salt etching provides abundant paths for the transport of electrons/protons. Furthermore, the liquid rechargeable ZAB using the mf-pClNC electrocatalyst as the cathode shows a fulfilling performance with a peak power density of 276.88 mW cm-2 . Flexible quasi-solid-state rechargeable ZAB constructed with the mf-pClNC electrocatalyst as the cathode exhibits an exciting performance both at low, high and room temperatures.

Abstract
Herein, ZIF-67-derived Co and N-doped carbon (Co/NC) particle-modified multilayer MXene (MXene@Co/NC) was developed as remarkable electrode material for carbendazim (CBZ) detection. MXene as a substrate provides an excellent conductive framework and plentiful accessibility sites. Co/NC particles embedding in MXene can not only prevent the interlayer stacking of MXene but also contribute a great deal of metal catalytic active sites and finally improve the adsorption and catalytic properties of the composite. Accordingly, the MXene@Co/NC electrode displays excellent electrocatalytic activity toward CBZ oxidation. Experimental parameters such as pH value, accumulation time, MXene@Co/NC modification volume and constituent materials' mass ratios were optimized. Under optimal conditions, the as-prepared sensor based on MXene@Co/NC holds a broad linearity range from 0.01 μM to 45.0 μM with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 3.3 nM (S/N = 3, S means the detection signal, while N represents the noise of the instrument). Moreover, the proposed sensor displays excellent anti-interference ability, superior reproducibility, excellent stability, and successfully achieves actual applications for CBZ detection in a lettuce sample.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), in which the coordination environment plays a crucial role in activating the intrinsic activity of the central metal. Taking the FeN4 SAC as a probe, this work investigates the effect of introducing S or P atoms into N coordination (FeSx N4-x and FePx N4-x (x=1-4)) on the electronic structure optimization of Fe center and its catalytic performance. Attributing to the optimal Fe 3d orbitals, FePN3 can effectively activate O2 and promote ORR with a low overpotential of 0.29 V, surpassing FeN4 and most reported catalysts. FeSN3 is beneficial to H2 O activation and OER, proceeding with an overpotential of 0.68 V, which is superior to FeN4 . Both FePN3 and FeSN3 exhibit outstanding thermodynamic and electrochemical stability with negative formation energies and positive dissolution potentials. Hence, the N,P and N,S co-coordination might provide better catalytic environment than regular N coordination for SACs in ORR and OER. This work demonstrates FePN3 /FeSN3 as high-performance ORR/OER catalysts and highlights N,P and N,S co-coordination regulation as an effective approach to fine tune high atomically dispersed electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Carbon-based single-atom catalysts (SACs) are considered to be a perfect platform for studying the structure-activity relationship of different reactions due to the adjustability of their coordination environment. Multi-heteroatom doping has been demonstrated as an effective strategy for tuning the coordination environment of carbon-based SACs and enhancing catalytic performance in electrochemical reactions. Herein, recently developed strategies for multi-heteroatom doping, focusing on the regulation of single-atom active sites by heteroatoms in different coordination shells, are summarized. In addition, the correlation between the coordination environment and the catalytic activity of carbon-based SACs are investigated through representative experiments and theoretical calculations for various electrochemical reactions. Finally, concerning certain shortcomings of the current strategies of doping multi-heteroatoms, some suggestions are put forward to promote the development of carbon-based SACs in the field of electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Solvent-free mechanochemical synthesis of efficient and low-cost double perovskite (DP), like a cage of Prussian blue (PB) and PB analogs (PBAs), is a promising approach for different applications such as chemical sensing, energy storage, and conversion. Although the solvent-free mechanochemical grinding approach has been extensively used to create halide-based perovskites, no such reports have been made for cyanide-based double perovskites. Herein, an innovative solvent-free mechanochemical synthetic strategy is demonstrated for synthesizing Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3, Co3[Fe(CN)6]2, and Ni2[Fe(CN)6], where defect sites such as carbon-nitrogen vacancies are inherently introduced during the synthesis. Among all the synthesized PB analogs, the Ni analog manifests a considerable electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with a low overpotential of 288 mV to obtain the current benchmark density of 20 mA cm-2. We hypothesize that incorporating defects, such as carbon-nitrogen vacancies, and synergistic effects contribute to high catalytic activity. Our findings pave the way for an easy and inexpensive large-scale production of earth-abundant non-toxic electrocatalysts with vacancy-mediated defects for oxygen evolution reaction.

Abstract
The two-electron oxygen reduction reaction in acid is highly attractive to produce H2O2, a commodity chemical vital in various industry and household scenarios, which is still hindered by the sluggish reaction kinetics. Herein, both density function theory calculation and in-situ characterization demonstrate that in dual-atom CoIn catalyst, O-affinitive In atom triggers the favorable and stable adsorption of hydroxyl, which effectively optimizes the adsorption of OOH on neighboring Co. As a result, the oxygen reduction on Co atoms shifts to two-electron pathway for efficient H2O2 production in acid. The H2O2 partial current density reaches 1.92 mA cm-2 at 0.65 V in the rotating ring-disk electrode test, while the H2O2 production rate is as high as 9.68 mol g-1 h-1 in the three-phase flow cell. Additionally, the CoIn-N-C presents excellent stability during the long-term operation, verifying the practicability of the CoIn-N-C catalyst. This work provides inspiring insights into the rational design of active catalysts for H2O2 production and other catalytic systems.

Understanding Synergistic Catalysis on Cu-Se Dual Atom Sites via Operando X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy in Oxygen Reduction Reaction. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202217719. [PMID: 36692894 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202217719] [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: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
The construction and understanding of synergy in well-defined dual-atom active sites is an available avenue to promote multistep tandem catalytic reactions. Herein, we construct a dual-hetero-atom catalyst that comprises adjacent Cu-N4 and Se-C3 active sites for efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity. Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy coupled with theoretical calculations provide in-depth insights into this dual-atom synergy mechanism for ORR under realistic device operation conditions. The heteroatom Se modulator can efficiently polarize the charge distribution around symmetrical Cu-N4 moieties, and serve as synergistic site to facilitate the second oxygen reduction step simultaneously, in which the key OOH*-(Cu1 -N4 ) transforms to O*-(Se1 -C2 ) intermediate on the dual-atom sites. Therefore, this designed catalyst achieves satisfied alkaline ORR activity with a half-wave potential of 0.905 V vs. RHE and a maximum power density of 206.5 mW cm-2 in Zn-air battery.

Abstract
Formate is identified as economically viable chemical fuel from electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction. However, the selectivity of current catalysts toward formate is limited by the competitive reaction such as HER. Herein, we propose a CeO2 modification strategy to improve the selectivity of catalysts for formate through tuning of the *OCHO intermediate, which is important for formate production.

Abstract
Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are the core reactions of a series of advanced modern energy and conversion technologies, such as fuel cells and metal-air cells. Among all kinds of oxygen electrocatalysts that have been reported, single-atom catalysts (SACs) offer great development potential because of their nearly 100% atomic utilization, unsaturated coordination environment, and tunable electronic structure. In recent years, numerous SACs with enriched active centers and asymmetric coordination have been successfully constructed by regulating their coordination environment and electronic structure, which has brought the development of atomic catalysts to a new level. This paper reviews the improvement of SACs brought by atom-level interface engineering. It starts with the introduction of advanced techniques for the characterizations of SACs. Subsequently, different design strategies that are applied to adjust the metal active center and first coordination sphere of SACs and then enhance their oxygen electrocatalysis performance are systematically illustrated. Finally, the future development of SACs toward ORR and OER is discussed and prospected.

Abstract
In heterogeneous catalysis, single-atom catalysts are the frontier and important prototypes for many reactions, and revealing the intrinsic structure-activity relationship is presently a critical task, but remains challenging. In this work, water electrolysis and oxygen reduction performances of FeXYi N3 -i (X, Y = B, C, O, P and S; i = 0, 1) moiety in Fe-porphyrin are studied by the first-principles calculations, aiming at unraveling how and why tuning the coordination microenvironment of the active metal atom can improve the activity. It can be concluded that breaking the coordination shell symmetry breaks the well-accepted standard scaling relationship, adjusts *O adsorption behavior and thus optimizes the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity, for example, to an extremely low overpotential of 0.17 V. In combination with the Fe atom spin configuration and ligand field theory, the dramatically improved OER activity can be well explained. In the present work, the significance of the coordination microenvironment of central metal atom in studies of electrocatalysis is highlighted.

Abstract
Single-Atom Sites (SASs) are commonly stabilized and influenced by neighboring atoms in the host; disclosing the structure-reactivity relationships of SASs in water electrolysis are the grand challenges originating from the enormous support materials with complex structures. Through a multidisciplinary view of the design principles, synthesis strategies, characterization techniques, and theoretical analysis of structure-performance correlations, this timely review is dedicated to summarizing the most recent progress in tailoring bond microenvironments on different supports and discussing the reaction pathways and performance advantages of different SAS structures for water electrolysis . The essences and mechanisms of how SAS structures influence their electrocatalysis and the critical needs for their future developments are discussed. Finally, the challenges and perspectives are also provided to stimulate their practically widespread utilization in water-splitting electrolyzers.

Abstract
The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is considered as an appealing candidate for next-generation electrochemical energy storage systems because of high energy and low cost. Nonetheless, its development is plagued by the severe polysulfide shuttling and sluggish reaction kinetics. Although single-atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as a promising remedy to expedite sulfur redox chemistry, the mediocre single-atom loading, inferior atomic utilization, and elusive catalytic pathway handicap their practical application. To tackle these concerns, in this work, unsaturated Fe single atoms with high loading capacity (≈6.32 wt%) are crafted on a 3D hierarchical C3 N4 architecture (3DFeSA-CN) by means of biotemplated synthesis. By electrokinetic analysis and theoretical calculations, it is uncovered that the 3DFeSA-CN harnesses robust electrocatalytic activity to boost dual-directional sulfur redox. As a result, S@3DFeSA-CN can maintain a durable cyclic performance with a negligible capacity decay rate of 0.031% per cycle over 2000 cycles at 1.0 C. More encouragingly, an assembled Li-S battery with a sulfur loading of 5.75 mg cm-2 can harvest a high areal capacity of 6.18 mAh cm-2 . This work offers a promising solution to optimize the carbonaceous support and coordination environment of SACs, thereby ultimately elevating dual-directional sulfur redox in pragmatic Li-S batteries.

Abstract
The volcano trend has been widely utilized to forecast new optimum catalysts in computational chemistry while the Butler-Volmer relationship is the norm to explain current-potential characteristics from cyclic voltammetry in analytical chemistry. Herein, we develop an electrochemical model for hydrogen evolution reaction exchange currents that reconciles device-level chemistry, atomic-level volcano trend, and the Butler-Volmer relation. We show that the model is a function of the easy-to-compute hydrogen adsorption energy invariably obtained from first-principles atomic simulations. In addition, the model reproduces with high fidelity the experimental exchange currents for elemental metal catalysts over 15 orders of magnitude and is consistent with the recently proposed analytical model based on a data-driven approach. Our findings based on fundamental electrochemistry principles are general and can be applied to other reactions including CO2 reduction, metal oxidation, and lithium (de)intercalation reactions.

Abstract
Single-atom non-precious metal oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts have attracted much attention due to their low cost, high selectivity, and high activity. Herein, we successfully prepared iron single atoms anchored on nitrogen-doped carbon matrix/nanotube hybrid supports (FeSA-NC/CNTs) by the pyrolysis of Fe-doped zeolitic imidazolate frameworks. The nitrogen-doped carbon matrix/carbon nanotube hybrid supports exhibit a specific surface area of 1626.814 m2 g−1, which may facilitate electron transfer and oxygen mass transport within the catalyst and be beneficial to ORR performance. Further electrochemical results revealed that our FeSA-NC/CNTs catalyst exhibited excellent ORR activity (half-wave potential: 0.86 V; kinetic current density: 39.3 mA cm−2 at 0.8 V), superior to that of commercial Pt/C catalyst (half-wave potential: 0.846 V; kinetic current density: 14.4 mA cm−2 at 0.8 V). It also has a great stability, which makes it possible to be a valuable non-noble metal electrode material that may replace the latest commercial Pt/C catalyst in the future.

Abstract
The introduction of a foreign metal atom in the coordination environment of single-atom catalysts constitutes an exciting frontier of active-site engineering, generating bimetallic low-nuclearity catalysts often exhibiting unique catalytic synergies. To date, the exploration of their full scope is thwarted by (i) the lack of synthetic techniques with control over intermetallic coordination, and (ii) the challenging characterization of these materials. Herein, carbon-host functionalization is presented as a strategy to selectively generate Au-Ru dimers and isolated sites by simple incipient wetness impregnation, as corroborated by careful X-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis. The distinct catalytic fingerprints are unveiled via the hydrogen evolution reaction, employed as a probe for proton adsorption properties. Intriguingly, the virtually inactive Au atoms enhance the reaction kinetics of their Ru counterparts already when spatially isolated, by shifting the proton adsorption free energy closer to neutrality. Remarkably, the effect is magnified by a factor of 2 in dimers. These results exemplify the relevance of controlling intermetallic coordination for the rational design of bimetallic low-nuclearity catalysts.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) MXenes have been developed to stabilize single atoms via various methods, such as vacancy reduction and heteroatom-mediated interactions. However, anchoring single atoms on 3D porous MXenes to further increase catalytic active sites and thus construct electrocatalysts with high activity and stability remains unexplored. Here, we reported a general synthetic strategy for engineering single-metal sites on 3D porous N, P codoped Ti3C2TX nanosheets. Through a "gelation-and-pyrolysis" process, a series of atomically dispersed metal catalysts (Pt, Ir, Ru, Pd, and Au) supported by N, P codoped Ti3C2TX nanosheets with 3D porous structure can be obtained and serve as efficient catalysts for the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). As a result of the favorable electronic and geometric structure of N(O), P-coordinated metal atoms optimizing catalytic intermediates adsorption and 3D porous structure exposing the active surface sites and facilitating charge/mass transfer, the as-synthesized Pt SA-PNPM catalyst shows ∼20-fold higher activity than the commercial Pt/C catalyst for electrochemical HER over a wide pH range.

Abstract
Conductive materials involving nonprecious metal coordination complexes as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) have received increasing attention in recent years. Herein, we reported efficient ORR electrocatalysts containing M-S2N2 sites with tunable selectivity based on simple one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers (CPs). The 1D CPs were synthesized from M(OAc)2 and 2,5-diamino-1,4-benzenedithiol (DABDT) by a solvent thermal method. Due to their good electrical conductivities (10-6-10-2 S cm-1), the 1D CPs could be used as ORR catalysts in low catalytic amounts without the addition of carbon materials. Cobalt-based CPs showed a well-organized structure of nanosheets with Co-S2N2 sites exposed and exhibited remarkable electrocatalytic ORR activity (Eonset = 0.93 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), E1/2 = 0.82 V, n = 3.85, JL = 5.22 mA cm-2, Tafel slope of 63 mV dec-1) in alkaline media. However, nickel-based CPs favored a 2e- ORR process with ∼87% H2O2 selectivity and an Eonset of 0.78 V. This work provides new opportunities for the construction of ORR catalysts based on conductive nonprecious metal CPs.

Abstract
Owing to the advantage of atomic utilization, the single-atom catalyst has attracted much attention and been employed in multifarious catalytic reactions. Its definite site configuration is favorable for exploring the actual active centers and corresponding reaction mechanism. At the atomic scale, the tunable site configuration, from central metal atoms, coordinated heteroatoms, peripheral dopants, and feasible polymetallic centers to the synergetic intrinsic carbon defects, can effectively augment the intrinsic activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). From a practical viewpoint, the propagation strategies of single-atom sites, the loading-activity relation and the structural retention during practical tests are crucial for the industrial applications. Furthermore, the activity contribution of multiple additional active centers including the active carbon sites and the pony-size well-wrapped metal species should be acknowledged. From the perspective mentioned above, this paper thoroughly analyses the consensuses, controversies, challenges and possible solutions based on the current research progress, thereby providing inspiration and guidance for the active center engineering of single-atom catalysts.
