Abstract
To develop hydrogen energy production and address the issues of global warming, inexpensive, effective, and long-lasting transition metal-based electrocatalysts for the synthesis of hydrogen are crucial. Herein, a porous electrocatalyst NiMo/Ni/NF was successfully constructed by a two-step electrodeposition process, and was used in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of electrocatalytic water decomposition. NiMo nanoparticles were coated on porous Ni/NF grown on nickel foam (NF), leading to a resilient porous structure with enhanced conductivity for efficient charge transfer, as well as distinctive three-dimensional channels for quick electrolyte diffusion and gas release. Notably, the low overpotential (42 mV) and fast kinetics (Tafel slope of 44 mV dec-1) at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH solution demonstrate the excellent HER activity of the electrode, which was superior to that of recently reported non-noble metal-based catalysts. Additionally, NiMo/Ni/NF showed extraordinary catalytic durability in stability tests at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 for 70 h. The porous structure catalyst and the electrodeposition-electrocatalysis technique examined in this study offer new approaches for the advancement of the electrocatalysis field because of these benefits.

Effect of Adding Gadolinium Oxide Promoter on Nickel Catalyst over Yttrium-Zirconium Oxide Support for Dry Reforming of Methane. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:1158. [PMID: 36770167 PMCID: PMC9920635 DOI: 10.3390/ma16031158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The dry reforming of methane (DRM) was studied for seven hours at 800 °C and 42 L/(g·h) gas hourly space velocity over Ni-based catalysts, promoted with various amounts of gadolinium oxide (x = 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 wt.%) and supported on mesoporous yttrium-zirconium oxide (YZr). The best catalyst was found to have 4.0 wt.% of gadolinium, which resulted in ∼80% and ∼86% conversions of CH4 and CO2, respectively, and a mole ratio of ∼0.90 H2/CO. The addition of Gd2O3 shifted the diffraction peaks of the support to higher angles, indicating the incorporation of the promoter into the unit cell of the YZr support. The Gd2O3 promoter improved the catalyst basicity and the interaction of NiO with support, which were reflected in the coke resistance (6.0 wt.% carbon deposit on 5Ni+4Gd/YZr; 19.0 wt.% carbon deposit on 5Ni/YZr) and the stability of our catalysts. The Gd2O3 is believed to react with carbon dioxide to form oxycarbonate species and helps to gasify the surface of the catalysts. In addition, the Gd2O3 enhanced the activation of CH4 and its conversion on the metallic nickel sites.

Abstract
Water electrolysis is one of the most common methods to produce hydrogen gas with high purity, but its application is limited due to its low energy efficiency. It has been proved that an external magnetic field can reduce energy consumption and increase hydrogen production efficiency in water electrolysis. In this study, electrodes with different magnetism were subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field for use in hydrogen production by water electrolysis. Gas bubbles that evolve from the surface of a horizontal electrode detach faster than the bubbles from a vertical electrode. The locomotion of the bubbles is facilitated if the horizontal electrode faces a magnet, which induces the revolution of bubbles between the electrodes. However, the magnetic field does not increase the current density effectively if the electrodes are more than 5 cm apart. A paramagnetic (platinum) electrode has a more significant effect on bubble locomotion than a diamagnetic (graphite) material and is able to increase the efficiency of electrolysis more effectively when a perpendicular magnetic field is applied. The conductivity of platinum electrodes that face a magnet increases if the distance between the electrodes is less than 4 cm, but the conductivity of graphite electrodes does not increase until the inter-electrode distance is reduced to 2 cm. On the other hand, horizontal graphite electrodes that are subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field will generate a higher gas production rate than a platinum electrode without a magnetic field if the inter-electrode distance is less than 1 cm.

Abstract
There is a need for a catalyst that can directly convert methane into useful substances. The use of Ni as a catalyst for the steam reforming of methane has led us to look at Ni nanoclusters as potential candidates for the direct conversion of methane. Fe, Co, Cu, and Zn nanoclusters are also focused on. How the type of C1 fragments (CH4, CH3, CH2, CH, and C) stabilized by the metal nanoclusters as adsorbed species varies with metal species is theoretically investigated. The particle swarm optimization algorithm, which is based on swarm intelligence, as well as density functional theory, is used for this calculation. The Ni nanoclusters are found to preferentially adsorb C as a stable species, the Fe and the Co nanoclusters both CH and CH3, and the Cu nanoclusters CH3; the Zn nanoclusters are found not to chemisorb any C1 fragment. The methane activation capacity can be ranked in the order of Ni > Fe > Co > Cu > Zn. The highest methane activation capacity of Ni is due to the strongest covalent nature of the interaction between Ni and the adsorbed species. The ionicity of the bond between Fe and the adsorbed species is higher than that between Co and the adsorbed species, while the covalent nature of the bonds is comparable for both. The weak methane activation ability of Cu compared to Fe, Co, and Ni is found to be due to the fact that both the covalent and ionic bond strengths between Cu and the adsorbed species are weak. Zn and the adsorbed species form neither ionic nor covalent bonds. These results indicate that the Fe and the Co nanoclusters as well as the Ni may lead to the over-oxidation of methane, whereas the Zn nanoclusters cannot activate methane in the first place; therefore, their application to direct methane conversion catalysts is unlikely. Since the Cu nanoclusters do not adsorb C and CH as stable species, but CH3 stably, the Cu nanoclusters are expected to work as a catalyst for the direct conversion of methane.

Abstract
To achieve high efficiency of water electrolysis to produce hydrogen (H2), developing non-noble metal-based catalysts with considerable performance have been considered as a crucial strategy, which is correlated with both the interphase properties and multi-metal synergistic effects. Herein, as a proof of concept, a delicate NiCo(OH)x-CoyW catalyst with a bush-like heterostructure was realized via gas-template-assisted electrodeposition, followed by an electrochemical etching-growth process, which ensured a high active area and fast gas release kinetics for a superior hydrogen evolution reaction, with an overpotential of 21 and 139 mV at 10 and 500 mA cm-2, respectively. Physical and electrochemical analyses demonstrated that the synergistic effect of the NiCo(OH)x/CoyW heterogeneous interface resulted in favorable electron redistribution and faster electron transfer efficiency. The amorphous NiCo(OH)x strengthened the water dissociation step, and metal phase of CoW provided sufficient sites for moderate H immediate adsorption/H2 desorption. In addition, NiCo(OH)x-CoyW exhibited desirable urea oxidation reaction activity for matching H2 generation with a low voltage of 1.51 V at 50 mA cm-2. More importantly, the synthesis and testing of the NiCo(OH)x-CoyW catalyst in this study were all solar-powered, suggesting a promising environmentally friendly process for practical applications.

Abstract
Here, we report a theoretical investigation, based on density functional theory calculations, into the role of the occupation d-states on the adsorption properties of CH4, CO, H2 and CH3OH on 3d 13-atom transition-metal (TM13) clusters (TM = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu). Except for Cu13, a gradual increase in the occupation of the d-states, i.e., from Fe13 to Ni13, increases the magnitude of the adsorption energy almost linearly for the H2/TM13 and CO/TM13 systems, which can be explained by the enhancement of the sp-d hybridization due to the shift of the d-states towards the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO). For Cu13, the d-states are located well below the HOMO, which reduces the sp-d hybridization, and hence, a smaller adsorption energy is obtained. However, this picture does not hold for CH4/TM13 and CH3OH/TM13, where the adsorption energy has nearly the same value for all TM13 clusters, which can be explained by electrostatic effects such as local polarization of the molecules and nearby TM atoms, and hence, the basic features of physisorption systems. Based on the electron density difference, the polarization effects are slightly larger for systems with empty d-states.

Abstract
Alkanes are the major constituents of natural gas and crude oil, the feedstocks for the chemical industry. The efficient and selective activation of C-H bonds can convert abundant and low-cost hydrocarbon feedstocks into value-added products. Due to the increasing global demand for light alkenes and their corresponding polymers as well as synthesis gas and hydrogen production, C-H bond activation of light alkanes has attracted widespread attention. A theoretical understanding of C-H bond activation in light hydrocarbons via density functional theory (DFT) and microkinetic modeling provides a feasible approach to gain insight into the process and guidelines for designing more efficient catalysts to promote light alkane transformation. This review describes the recent progress in computational catalysis that has addressed the C-H bond activation of light alkanes. We start with direct and oxidative C-H bond activation of methane, with emphasis placed on kinetic and mechanistic insights obtained from DFT assisted microkinetic analysis into steam and dry reforming, and the partial oxidation dependence on metal/oxide surfaces and nanoparticle size. Direct and oxidative activation of the C-H bond of ethane and propane on various metal and oxide surfaces are subsequently reviewed, including the elucidation of active sites, intriguing mechanisms, microkinetic modeling, and electronic features of the ethane and propane conversion processes with a focus on suppressing the side reaction and coke formation. The main target of this review is to give fundamental insight into C-H bond activation of light alkanes, which can provide useful guidance for the optimization of catalysts in future research.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been utilized to evaluate the complete reaction mechanism of methane dry reforming (DRM) over Ni2Cu (111) bimetallic catalyst. The detailed catalytic cycle on Ni2Cu (111) catalyst demonstrated superior coke resistance compared to pure Ni (111) and Ni2Fe (111) reported in the literature. Doping Cu in the Ni–Ni network enhanced the competitive CH oxidation by both atomic O and OH species with the latter having only 0.02 eV higher than the 1.06 eV energy barrier required for CH oxidation by atomic O. Among the C/CH oxidation pathways, C* + O* → CO (g) was the most favorable with an energy barrier of 0.72 eV. This was almost half of the energy barrier required for the rate-limiting step of CH decomposition (1.40 eV) and indicated enhanced coke deposition removal. Finally, we investigated the effect of temperature (800~1000 K) on the carbon deposition and elimination mechanism over Ni2Cu (111) catalyst. Under those realistic DRM conditions, the calculations showed a periodic cycle of simultaneous carbon deposition and elimination resulting in improved catalyst stability.

Abstract
The present work discusses the effect of CeO2 synthesis method (thermal decomposition (TD), precipitation (PT), hydrothermal (HT), and sol-gel (SG)) on the carbon pathways of dry reforming of methane with carbon dioxide (DRM) applied at 750 °C over 5 wt% Ni/CeO2. In particular, specific transient and isotopic experiments (use of 13CO, 13CO2, and 18O2) were designed and conducted in an attempt at providing insights about the effect of support’s preparation method on the concentration (mg gcat−1), reactivity towards oxygen, and transient evolution rates (μmol gcat−1 s−1) of the inactive carbon formed under (i) CH4/He (methane decomposition), (ii) CO/He (reverse Boudouard reaction), and (iii) the copresence of the two (CH4/CO/He, use of 13CO). Moreover, important information regarding the relative contribution of CH4 and CO2 activation routes towards carbon formation under DRM reaction conditions was derived by using isotopically labelled 13CO2 in the feed gas stream. Of interest was also the amount, and the transient rate, of carbon removal via the participation of support’s labile active oxygen species.
