[PMID: 38659283 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202405372] [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: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
Rational modulation of surface reconstruction in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) utilizing defect engineering to form efficient catalytic activity centers is a topical interest in the field of catalysis. The introduction of point defects has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy to regulate the electronic configuration of electrocatalysts, but the influence of more complex planar defects (e.g., twins and stacking faults), on their intrinsic activity is still not fully understood. This study harnesses ultrasonic cavitation for rapid and controlled introduction of different types of defects in the FeCoNi/FeAl2O4 hybrid coating, optimizing OER catalytic activity. Theoretical calculations and experiments demonstrate that the different defects optimize the coordination environment and facilitate the activation of surface reconstruction into true catalytic activity centers at lower potentials. Moreover, it demonstrates exceptional durability, maintaining stable oxygen production at a high current density of 300 mA cm-2 for over 120 hours. This work not only presents a novel pathway for designing advanced electrocatalysts but also deepens our understanding of defect-engineered catalytic mechanisms, showcasing the potential for rapid and efficient enhancement of electrocatalytic performance.

Abstract
The development of electrocatalysts with excellent performance toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for the production of hydrogen is of great significance to alleviate energy crisis and environmental pollution. Herein, the heterostructure (NMO/FCHC-0.4) was fabricated by the coupling growth of NiMoO4 (NMO) and cobalt iron carbonate hydroxide (FCHC) on nickel foam as an electrocatalyst for OER. The interfacial synergy on NMO/FCHC-0.4 heterojunction can promote the interfacial electron redistribution, affect the center position of d band, optimize the adsorption of intermediate, and improve the conductivity. Beyond, oxygen defect sites are conducive to the adsorption of intermediates, and increase the number of active sites. Real-time OER kinetic simulation revealed that the interfacial synergism and molybdate could reduce the adsorption of hydroxide, promote the deprotonation step of M-OH, and facilitate the formation of M-OOH (M represents the metal active site). As a result, NMO/FCHC-0.4 displays excellent OER electrocatalytic performance with an overpotential of 250/280 mV at the current density 100/200 mA cm-2 and robust stability at 100 mA cm-2 for 100 h. This work provides deep insights into the roles of interfacial electronic modulation and oxygen vacancy to design high-efficiency electrocatalysts for OER.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are promising catalysts for green hydrogen production. However, the rational design of high-performing PBAs is challenging, which requires an in-depth understanding of the catalytic mechanism. Here FeMn@CoNi core-shell PBAs are employed as precursors, together with Se powders, in low-temperature pyrolysis in an argon atmosphere. This synthesis method enables the partial dissociation of inner FeMn PBAs that results in hollow interiors, Ni nanoparticles (NPs) exsolution to the surface, and Se incorporation onto the PBA shell. The resulting material presents ultralow oxygen evolution reaction (OER) overpotential (184 mV at 10 mA cm-2 ) and low Tafel slope (43.4 mV dec-1 ), outperforming leading-edge PBA-based electrocatalysts. The mechanism responsible for such a high OER activity is revealed, assisted by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and the surface examination before and after the OER process. The exsolved Ni NPs are found to help turn the PBAs into Se-doped core-shell metal oxyhydroxides during the OER, in which the heterojunction with Ni and the Se incorporation are combined to improve the OER kinetics. This work shows that efficient OER catalysts could be developed by using a novel synthesis method backed up by a sound understanding and control of the catalytic pathway.

Abstract
Unlocking the potential of the hydrogen economy is dependent on achieving green hydrogen (H2 ) production at competitive costs. Engineering highly active and durable catalysts for both oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions (OER and HER) from earth-abundant elements is key to decreasing costs of electrolysis, a carbon-free route for H2 production. Here, a scalable strategy to prepare doped cobalt oxide (Co3 O4 ) electrocatalysts with ultralow loading, disclosing the role of tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), and antimony (Sb) dopants in enhancing OER/HER activity in alkaline conditions, is reported. In situ Raman and X-ray absorption spectroscopies, and electrochemical measurements demonstrate that the dopants do not alter the reaction mechanisms but increase the bulk conductivity and density of redox active sites. As a result, the W-doped Co3 O4 electrode requires ≈390 and ≈560 mV overpotentials to reach ±10 and ±100 mA cm-2 for OER and HER, respectively, over long-term electrolysis. Furthermore, optimal Mo-doping leads to the highest OER and HER activities of 8524 and 634 A g-1 at overpotentials of 0.67 and 0.45 V, respectively. These novel insights provide directions for the effective engineering of Co3 O4 as a low-cost material for green hydrogen electrocatalysis at large scales.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of a hybrid layered cobalt hydroxide sample and its redox behaviors in the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Compound Co7(OH)12(C2H4S2O6)·1.6H2O was synthesized via a homogeneous alkalization reaction using Co(SO3C2H4SO3) and hexamethylenetetramine. This compound comprises cationic host layers of {[Co7(OH)12]2+}∞, which comprise octahedrally (CoOh) and tetrahedrally (CoTd) coordinated Co cations at a CoOh : CoTd ratio of 5 : 2. The ethane-disulfonate ions are combined with the cationic host layers by electrostatic attractions and hydrogen bonding as a hybrid pillared layered framework. This hybrid sample can promote the OER in 1 M KOH with an overpotential as low as ∼410 mV (at a current density of 10 mA cm-2). In situ Raman spectroscopy showed that the sample first evolved into Co(III)-based phases comprising a mixture of layered CoOOH and spinel Co3O4, and the Co(III)-based compounds were converted into Co(IV)-O intermediates containing [CoO6] units at the onsite of the OER. The structural evolution behaviors suggest that the catalyst prefers a topotactic phase transition and the CoOh and CoTd units exhibit different activities in the electrochemical reaction. The electron transfer events involved in the electrochemical reaction were identified by Fourier-transformed alternating current voltammetry.

Abstract
Sweat sensors play a significant role in personalized healthcare by dynamically monitoring biochemical markers to detect individual physiological status. The specific response to the target biomolecules usually depends on natural oxidase, but it is susceptible to external interference. In this work, we report tryptophan- and histidine-treated copper metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs). This amino-functionalized copper-organic framework shows highly selective activity for ascorbate oxidation and can serve as an efficient ascorbate oxidase-mimicking material in sensitive sweat sensors. Experiments and calculation results elucidate that the introduced tryptophan/histidine fundamentally regulates the adsorption behaviors of biomolecules, enabling ascorbate to be selectively captured from complex sweat and further efficiently electrooxidized. This work provides not only a paradigm for specifically sweat sensing but also a significant understanding of natural oxidase-inspired MOF nanoenzymes for sensing technologies and beyond.

Abstract
Exploring high-efficiency electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is one of the most important concerns to produce hydrogen in water electrolysis. Herein, the FNM/Co2P-0.4 heterostructure was designed as an electrocatalyst for the OER process by the combination of MoO42- intercalating NiFe LDH and Co2P on nickel foam (NF). The surface reconstruction and MoO42- leaching can induce the conversion of Co2P and NiFe LDH on FNM/Co2P-0.4 to generate Co/NiOOH with more oxygen vacancies. Beyond, CoOOH and NiOOH can also synergize to reduce the energy barrier of OER, optimize conductivity, and improve stability. The surface reconstruction and the formation of OOH⁎ were further unveiled by in-situ UV-vis absorption spectra and Fourier-transformed alternative current voltammetry (FTACV). The integration of interfacial synergies and oxygen vacancies can facilitate the adsorption/desorption of intermediates, regulate the d-band center, and expose more active sites. And as a result, FNM/Co2P-0.4 shows a significant low overpotential (240 mV) at 50 mA cm-2, a small Tafel (74 mV dec-1), low activation energy (Ea) and remarkable durability. This work provides a new pathway to improve the OER performance by using interfacial synergies and rich oxygen vacancies derived from the self-sacrificial reconstruction of heterostructured electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Identifying novel classes of precatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER by water oxidation) with enhanced catalytic activity and stability is a key strategy to enable chemical energy conversion. The vast chemical space of intermetallic phases offers plenty of opportunities to discover OER electrocatalysts with improved performance. Herein we report intermetallic nickel germanide (NiGe) acting as a superior activity and durable Ni-based electro(pre)catalyst for OER. It is produced from a molecular bis(germylene)-Ni precursor. The ultra-small NiGe nanocrystals deposited on both nickel foam and fluorinated tin oxide (FTO) electrodes showed lower overpotentials and a durability of over three weeks (505 h) in comparison to the state-of-the-art Ni-, Co-, Fe-, and benchmark NiFe-based electrocatalysts under identical alkaline OER conditions. In contrast to other Ni-based intermetallic precatalysts under alkaline OER conditions, an unexpected electroconversion of NiGe into γ-NiIII OOH with intercalated OH- /CO3 2- transpired that served as a highly active structure as shown by various ex situ methods and quasi in situ Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract
It has become apparent that renewable energy sources are plentiful in many, often remote, parts of the world, such that storing and transporting that energy has become the key challenge. For long-distance transportation by pipeline and bulk tanker, a liquid form of energy carrier is ideal, focusing attention on liquid hydrogen and ammonia. Development of high-activity and selectivity electrocatalyst materials to produce these energy carriers by reductive electrochemistry has therefore become an important area of research. Here, recent developments and challenges in the field of electrocatalytic materials for these processes are discussed, including the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). Some of the mis-steps currently plaguing the nitrogen reduction to ammonia field are highlighted. The rapidly growing roles that in situ/operando and quantum chemical studies can play in new electromaterials discovery are also surveyed.

Abstract
Manganese oxide (MnOx ) electrocatalysts are examined herein by in situ soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) during the oxidation of water buffered by borate (pH 9.2) at potentials from 0.75 to 2.25 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode. Correlation of L-edge XAS data with previous mechanistic studies indicates MnIV is the highest oxidation state involved in the catalytic mechanism. MnOx is transformed into birnessite at 1.45 V and does not undergo further structural phase changes. At potentials beyond this transformation, RIXS spectra show progressive enhancement of charge transfer transitions from oxygen to manganese. Theoretical analysis of these data indicates increased hybridization of the Mn-O orbitals and withdrawal of electron density from the O ligand shell. In situ XAS experiments at the O K-edge provide complementary evidence for such a transition. This step is crucial for the formation of O2 from water.

Abstract
Colloidal catalysts for oxidation of water to dioxygen, which are stable on storage and under the reaction conditions, are synthesized based on CoIII , MnIII , FeIII and CuII hydroxides. Stabilization of the colloids with dextrated starch allows the process of hydroxide ageing to be stopped at the stage of the formation of primary nuclei (ca. 2-3 nm from transmission electron microscopy data). Molecular mechanics and dynamic light scattering studies indicate a core-shell type structure of the catalysts, where the hydroxide core is stabilized by the molecular starch network (ca. 5-7 nm). The colloidal catalysts are highly efficient in oxidizing water with one electron oxidant Ru(bpy)3 3+ at pH 7 to 10. The influence of pH, catalyst concentration, and buffer nature on the oxygen yield is studied. The maximal yields are 72, 53, and 78 % over Fe-, Mn- and Co-containing catalysts, respectively, and turnover numbers are 7.8; 54 and 360, respectively. The Cu-containing catalyst is poorly effective to the water oxidation (the maximal yield is 28 % O2 ). The synthesized catalysts are of interest for stopped-flow kinetic studies of the mechanism of the water oxidation and as precursors for anchoring nanosized hydroxides onto various supports in order to develop biomimetic systems for artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Influence of the conditions for aerobic oxidation of Mn2+(aq) catalysed by the MnxEFG protein complex on the morphology, structure and reactivity of the resulting biogenic manganese oxides (MnOx ) is explored. Physical characterisation of MnOx includes scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron and K-edge Mn, Fe X-ray absorption spectroscopy. This characterisation reveals that the MnOx materials share the structural features of birnessite, yet differ in the degree of structural disorder. Importantly, these biogenic products exhibit strikingly different morphologies that can be easily controlled. Changing the substrate-to-protein ratio produces MnOx either as nm-thin sheets, or rods with diameters below 20 nm, or a combination of the two. Mineralisation in solutions that contain Fe2+(aq) makes solids with significant disorder in the structure, while the presence of Ca2+(aq) facilitates formation of more ordered materials. The (photo)oxidation and (photo)electrocatalytic capacity of the MnOx minerals is examined and correlated with their structural properties.
