Abstract
Regulating interfacial active sites to improve peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation efficiency is a hot topic in the heterogeneous catalysis field. In this study, we develop an inverted loading strategy to engineer asymmetric Mn-OV-Ce sites for PMS activation. Mn3O4@CeO2 prepared by loading CeO2 nanoparticles onto Mn3O4 nanorods exhibits the highest catalytic activity and stability, which is due to the formation of more oxygen vacancies (OV) at the Mn-OV-Ce sites, and the surface CeO2 layer effectively inhibits corrosion by preventing the loss of manganese ion active species into the solution. In situ characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) studies have revealed effective bimetallic redox cycles at asymmetric Mn-OV-Ce active sites, which promote surface charge transfer, enhance the adsorption reaction activity of active species toward pollutants, and favor PMS activation to generate (•OH, SO4•-, O2•- and 1O2) active species. This study provides a brand-new perspective for engineering the interfacial behavior of PMS activation.

Abstract
The electrochemical reduction reaction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR) into valuable products offers notable economic benefits and contributes to environmental sustainability. However, precisely controlling the reaction pathways and selectively converting key intermediates pose considerable challenges. In this study, our theoretical calculations reveal that the active sites with different states of copper atoms (1-3-5-7-9) play a pivotal role in the adsorption behavior of the *CHO critical intermediate. This behavior dictates the subsequent hydrogenation and coupling steps, ultimately influencing the formation of the desired products. Consequently, we designed two model electrocatalysts comprising Cu single atoms and particles supported on CeO2. This design enables controlled *CHO intermediate transformation through either hydrogenation with *H or coupling with *CO, leading to a highly selective CO2RR. Notably, our selective control strategy tunes the Faradaic efficiency from 61.1% for ethylene (C2H4) to 61.2% for methane (CH4). Additionally, the catalyst demonstrated a high current density and remarkable stability, exceeding 500 h of operation. This work not only provides efficient catalysts for selective CO2RR but also offers valuable insights into tailoring surface chemistry and designing catalysts for precise control over catalytic processes to achieve targeted product generation in CO2RR technology.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 472:134522. [PMID: 38714057 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/09/2024]
Abstract
Electro-catalytic conversion of nitrate (NO3-) to ammonia (NH3) via the Nitrate Reduction to Ammonia (NORA) process represents a promising strategy for both ammonia synthesis and environmental remediation. Despite its potential, the efficiency of low-concentration NORA is often hindered by mass transfer limitations, competing byproducts (N2 and NO2-), and side reactions such as hydrogen evolution. This study introduces a novel pulsed electro-synthesis technique that alternates the potential to periodically accumulate and transform NO2- intermediates near a Cu2O@Pd electrode, enhancing the NORA process. Compared with that under potentiostatic conditions, the Cu2O@Pd electrodes exhibited a higher NORA activity under the optimized pulsed condition, where a NH3-N Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 81.2%, a yield rate of 1.08 mg h-1 cm-2 and a selectivity efficiency (SE) of 81.5%, were achieved. In-situ characterization revealed an enhancement mechanism characterized by optimized adsorption of the key *NO intermediate, followed by the hydrogenation path "*N → *NH → *NH2→ *NH3". Further investigations indicated the electro-catalytic synergies between Pd sites and Cu species, where the Pd atoms were the reaction sites for the H adsorption while the Cu species were responsible for the NO3- activation. This research offers a novel insight into a method of enhancing low-concentration NORA.

Compressive strain in Cu catalysts: Enhancing generation of C 2+ products in electrochemical CO 2 reduction. Sci Bull (Beijing) 2024:S2095-9273(24)00456-0.

Abstract
Elastic strain in Cu catalysts enhances their selectivity for the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR), particularly toward the formation of multicarbon (C2+) products. However, the reasons for this selectivity and the effect of catalyst precursors have not yet been clarified. Hence, we employed a redox strategy to induce strain on the surface of Cu nanocrystals. Oxidative transformation was employed to convert Cu nanocrystals to CuxO nanocrystals; these were subsequently electrochemically reduced to form Cu catalysts, while maintaining their compressive strain. Using a flow cell configuration, a current density of 1 A/cm2 and Faradaic efficiency exceeding 80% were realized for the C2+ products. The selectivity ratio of C2+/C1 was also remarkable at 9.9, surpassing that observed for the Cu catalyst under tensile strain by approximately 7.6 times. In-situ Raman and infrared spectroscopy revealed a decrease in the coverage of K+ ion-hydrated water (K·H2O) on the compressively strained Cu catalysts, consistent with molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations. Finite element method simulations confirmed that reducing the coverage of coordinated K·H2O water increased the probability of intermediate reactants interacting with the surface, thereby promoting efficient C-C coupling and enhancing the yield of C2+ products. These findings provide valuable insights into targeted design strategies for Cu catalysts used in the eCO2RR.

Abstract
The cathodic polysulfides electrocatalyst, such as Mo2C, offers a promising approach to mitigate the shuttling effect by providing strong polysulfide adsorption and catalyst abilities to improve the electrochemical performance of Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. However, according to the Sabatier principle, excessive adsorption of Mo2C undermines the conversion of polysulfides. This undesirable effect can be mitigated by forming the heterostructure of Mo2C-MoP. Even more importantly, the introduction of MoP can prevent the surface gelation of Mo2C and expose more active sites. Consequently, the Li-S batteries with the Mo2C-MoP sulfur host exhibit outstanding long-term cycling stability, showcasing a mere 0.035% capacity decay per cycle over 800 cycles at 1 C. This work on the balance between adsorption capacity and catalytic active of cathodic polysulfides electrocatalyst provides a new vision for realizing a high-performance Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Plasmonic Cu@semiconductor heteronanocrystals (HNCs) have many favorable properties, but the synthesis of solid structures is often hindered by the nanoscale Kirkendall effect. Herein, we present the use of an atomically thin Au3Cu palisade interlayer to reduce lattice mismatch and mediate the Kirkendall effect, enabling the successive topological synthesis of Cu@Au3Cu@Ag, Cu@Au3Cu@Ag2S, and further transformed solid Cu@Au3Cu@CdS core-shell HNCs via cation exchange. The atomically thin and intact Au3Cu palisade interlayer effectively modulates the diffusion kinetics of Cu atoms as demonstrated by experimental and theoretical investigations and simultaneously alleviates the lattice mismatch between Cu and Ag as well as Cu and CdS. The Cu@Au3Cu@CdS HNCs feature exceptional crystallinity and atomically organized heterointerfaces between the plasmonic metal and the semiconductor. This results in the efficient plasmon-induced injection of hot electrons from Cu@Au3Cu into the CdS shell, enabling the Cu@Au3Cu@CdS HNCs to achieve high activity and selectivity for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO.

Abstract
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) mediated radical and nonradical active substances can synergistically achieve the efficient elimination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, enhancing interface electron cycling and optimizing the coupling of the oxygen-containing intermediates to improve PMS activation kinetics remains a major challenge. Here, Co doped CeVO4 catalyst (Co-CVO) with asymmetric sites was constructed based on Ce 4f-O 2p-Co 3d gradient orbital coupling. The catalyst achieved approximately 2.51×105 copies/mL of extracellular ARGs (eARGs) removal within 15 minutes, exhibited ultrahigh degradation rate (k=1.24 min-1 ). The effective gradient 4f-2p-3d orbital coupling precisely regulates the electron distribution of Ce-O-Co active center microenvironment, while optimizing the electronic structure of Co 3d states (especially the occupancy of eg ), promoting the adsorption of oxygen-containing intermediates. The generated radical and nonradical generated by interfacial electron cycling enhanced by the reduction reaction of PMS at the Ce site and the oxidation reaction at the Co site achieved a significant mineralization rate of ARGs (83.4 %). The efficient removal of ARGs by a continuous flow reactor for 10 hours significantly reduces the ecological risk of ARGs in actual wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Electroreduction of CO2 to CO is a promising route for greenhouse gas resource utilization, but it still suffers from impractical current density and poor durability. Here, a nanosheet shell (NS) vertically standing on the Ag hollow fiber (NS@Ag HF) surface formed by electrochemical surface reconstruction is reported. As-prepared NS@Ag HF as a gas penetration electrode exhibited a high CO faradaic efficiency of 97% at an ultra-high current density of 2.0 A cm-2 with a sustained performance for continuous >200 h operation. The experimental and theoretical studies reveal that promoted surface electronic structures of NS@Ag HF by the nanosheets not only suppress the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction but also facilitate the CO2 reduction kinetics. This work provides a feasible strategy for fabricating robust catalysts for highly efficient and stable CO2 reduction.
