Abstract
The Si window is the most widely used internal reflection element (IRE) for electrochemical attenuated total reflection surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (ATR-SEIRAS), yet local chemical etching on Si by concentrated OH- anions bottlenecks the reliable application of this method in strong alkaline electrolytes. In this report, atomic layer deposition of a 25 nm nonconductive TiO2 barrier layer on the reflecting plane of a Si prism is demonstrated to address this challenge. In situ ATR-SEIRAS measurement on a Au film electrode with the Si/TiO2 composite IRE in 1 M NaOH reveals reversible global spectral features without spectral distortion at 1000-1300 cm-1, in stark contrast to those obtained with a bare Si window. By applying this structured ATR-SEIRAS, ethanol electrooxidation on a Pt/C catalyst in 1 and 5 M NaOH is explored, manifesting that such high pH values prevent the adsorption of as-formed acetate in the C2 pathway but not that of CO intermediate in the C1 pathway.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202313646. [PMID: 37842798 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202313646] [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: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
It is an appealing approach to CO2 utilization through CO2 electroreduction (CO2 ER) to ethanol at high current density; however, the commonly used Cu-based catalysts cannot sustain large current during CO2 ER despite their capability for ethanol production. Herein, we report that Ag+ -doped InSe nanosheets with Se vacancies can address this grand challenge in a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) electrolyzer. As revealed by our experimental characterization and theoretical calculation, the Ag+ doping, which can tailor the electronic structure of InSe while diversifying catalytically active sites, enables the formation of key reaction intermediates and their sequential evolution into ethanol. More importantly, such a material can well work for large-current conditions in MEA electrolyzers with In2+ species stabilized via electron transfer from Ag to Se. Remarkably, in an MEA electrolyzer by coupling cathodic CO2 ER with anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the optimal catalyst exhibits an ethanol Faradaic efficiency of 68.7 % and a partial current density of 186.6 mA cm-2 on the cathode with a full-cell ethanol energy efficiency of 26.1 % at 3.0 V. This work opens an avenue for large-current production of ethanol from CO2 with high selectivity and energy efficiency by rationally designing electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Water and its dissociated species at the solid‒liquid interface play critical roles in catalytic science; e.g., functions of oxygen species from water dissociation are gradually being recognized. Herein, the relationship between oxide identity (PtOHads, PtOads, and PtO2) and electrocatalytic activity of platinum for ethanol electrooxidation was obtained in perchlorate acidic solution over a wide potential range with an upper potential of 1.5 V (reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE). PtOHads and α-PtO2, rather than PtOads, act as catalytic centers promoting ethanol electrooxidation. This relationship was corroborated on Pt(111), Pt(110), and Pt(100) electrodes, respectively. A reaction mechanism of ethanol electrooxidation was developed with DFT calculations, in which platinum oxides-mediated dehydrogenation and hydrated reaction intermediate, geminal diol, can perfectly explain experimental results, including pH dependence of product selectivity and more active α-PtO2 than PtOHads. This work can be generalized to the oxidation of other substances on other metal/alloy electrodes in energy conversion and electrochemical syntheses.

Abstract
Development of efficient and robust electrocatalysts for complete oxidation of ethanol is critical for the commercialization of direct ethanol fuel cells. However, the complete oxidation of ethanol suffers from poor efficiency due to the low C1 pathway selectivity. Herein, single-atomic Ir (Ir1 ) on hcp-PtPb/fcc-Pt core-shell hexagonal nanoplates (PtPb@PtIr1 HNPs) enclosed by Pt(110) surface with a 7.2% tensile strain is constructed to drive complete electro-oxidation of ethanol. Benefiting from the construction of Ir1 sites, the PtPb@PtIr1 HNPs exhibit a Faraday efficiency of 57.93% for the C1 pathway, which is ≈8.3 times higher than that of the commercial Pt/C-JM. Furthermore, the PtPb@PtIr1 HNPs show a top-ranked electro-activity achieving 45.1-fold and 56.3-fold higher than the specific and mass activities of Pt/C-JM, respectively. Meanwhile, the durability can be significantly enhanced by the construction of Ir1 sites. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the strong synergy on the PtPb@PtIr1 HNPs surface significantly promotes the breaking of CC bond of CH2 CO* and facilitates CO oxidation and suppresses the deactivation of the catalyst. This work offers a unique single-atom approach using low-coordination active sites on shape-controlled nanocrystals to tune the selectivity and activity toward complicated catalytic reactions.

Abstract
SignificanceDirect ethanol fuel cells are attracting growing attention as portable power sources due to their advantages such as higher mass-energy density than hydrogen and less toxicity than methanol. However, it is challenging to achieve the complete electrooxidation to generate 12 electrons per ethanol, resulting in a low fuel utilization efficiency. This manuscript reports the complete ethanol electrooxidation by engineering efficient catalysts via single-atom modification. The combined electrochemical measurements, in situ characterization, and density functional theory calculations unravel synergistic effects of single Rh atoms and Pt nanocubes and identify reaction pathways leading to the selective C-C bond cleavage to oxidize ethanol to CO2. This study provides a unique single-atom approach to tune the activity and selectivity toward complicated electrocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
In this paper, we are reporting on the fabrication of a porous silicon/Au and silicon filament/Au using the two-step Au-assisted chemical etching of p-type Si with a specific resistivity of 0.01, 1, and 12 Ω·cm when varying the Au deposition times. The structure analysis results show that with an increasing Au deposition time of up to 7 min, the thickness of the porous Si layer increases for the same etching duration (60 min), and the morphology of the layer changes from porous to filamentary. This paper shows that the uniform macro-porous layers with a thickness of 125.5-171.2μm and a specific surface area of the mesopore sidewalls of 142.5-182 m2·g-1are formed on the Si with a specific resistivity of 0.01 Ω·cm. The gradient macro-porous layers with a thickness of 220-260μm and 210-290μm, the specific surface area of the mesopore sidewalls of 3.7-21.7 m2·g-1and 17-29 m2·g-1are formed on the silicon with a specific resistivity of 1 and 12 Ω·cm, respectively. The por-Si/Au has excellent low-temperature electro oxidation performance with ethanol, the activity of ethanol oxidation is mainly due to the synergistic effect of the Au nanoparticles and porous Si. The formation mechanism of the uniform and gradient macro-porous layers and ethanol electro-oxidation on the porous/filament silicon, decorated with Au nanoparticles, was established. The por-Si/Au structures with perpendicularly oriented pores, a high por-Si layer thickness, and a low mono-Si layer thickness (with a specific resistivity of 1 Ω·cm) are optimal for an effective ethanol electro-oxidation, which has been confirmed with chronoamperometry measurements.

Abstract
High-sensitivity and wide-frequency attenuated total reflection surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (ATR-SEIRAS) is highly demanded in unraveling electrocatalytic processes at the molecular level. In this work, an in situ ATR-SEIRAS technique incorporating a micromachined Si wafer window, p-polarized infrared radiation, and isotope labeling is extended to revisit the acetaldehyde oxidation reaction (AOR) on a Pt electrode in an acidic medium. New spectral features in the fingerprint region are detected, including ω(C-H) at 1078 cm-1 and νas(C-C-O) at 919 cm-1 for adsorbed acetaldehyde and δ(O-C-O) at 689 cm-1 for adsorbed acetate, besides the other enhanced and clearly discriminated spectral signals at higher frequencies. Time-evolved and potential-dependent ATR-SEIRAS measurements together with advanced density functional theory calculations considering the coadsorption of CO and C2 species enable clarification of the structures and roles of surface C2 intermediates (η1(C)-acetyl and η1(H)-acetaldehyde), as reflected by the two bands at 1630 and 1663 cm-1, respectively, leading to updated pathways for the AOR on a Pt electrode.

Abstract
By combining cyclic voltammetry (CV) and shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS), the adsorption behavior of two alkynes, propargyl alcohol (PA) and 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MeByOH), undergoing hydrogenation on Pt basal plane single-crystal electrodes is investigated. It is found that PA and MeByOH give rise to strong surface sensitivities in relation to both hydrogenation activity and molecular fragmentation into adsorbed species such as CO. For PA, irreversible adsorption is strongly favored for Pt{100} and Pt{110} but is weak in the case of Pt{111}. It is suggested that the presence of the primary alcohol substituent is key to this behavior, with the order of surface reactivity being Pt{100} > Pt{110} > Pt{111}. In contrast, for MeByOH, strong irreversible adsorption is observed on all three basal plane Pt surfaces and we propose that this reflects the enhanced activity of the alkyne moiety arising from the inductive effect of the two methyl groups, coupled with the decreased activity of the tertiary alcohol substituent toward fragmentation. Pt{111} also exhibits singular behavior in relation to MeByOH hydrogenation in that a sharp Raman band at 1590 cm-1 is observed corresponding to the formation of a di-σ/π-bonded surface complex as the alkyne adsorbs. This band frequency is some 20 cm-1 higher than the analogous broadband observed for PA and MeByOH adsorbed on all other basal plane Pt surfaces and may be viewed as a fingerprint of Pt{111} terraces being present at a catalyst surface undergoing hydrogenation. Insights into the hydrogenation activity of different Pt{hkl} surfaces are obtained using quantitative comparisons between Raman bands at hydrogenation potentials and at 0.4 V vs Pd/H, the beginning of the double-layer potential region, and it is asserted (with support from CV) that Pt{110} is the most active plane for hydrogenation due to the presence of surface defects generated via the lifting of the (1 × 2) to (1 × 1) clean surface reconstruction following flame annealing and hydrogen cooling. Our findings are also consistent with the hypothesis that Pt{111} planes are most likely to provide semihydrogenation selectivity of alkynes to alkenes, as reported previously.

Abstract
In the present work, the Pt(111) surface was disordered by controlling the density of {110}- and {100}-type defects. The cyclic voltammogram (CV) of a disordered surface in acid media consists of three contributions within the hydrogen adsorption/desorption region: one from the well-ordered Pt(111) symmetry and the other two transformed from the {111}-symmetry with contributions of {110}- and {100}-type surface defects. The ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) was studied on these disordered surfaces. Electrochemical studies were performed in 0.1 M HClO4 +0.1 M ethanol using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. Changes in current densities associated to the specific potentials at which each oxidation peak appears suggest that different surface domains of disordered platinum oxidize ethanol independently. Additionally, as the surface-defect density increases, the EOR is catalysed better. This tendency is directly observed from the CV parameters because the onset and peak potentials are shifted to less positive values and accompanied by increases in the oxidation-peak current on disordered surfaces. Similarly, the CO oxidation striping confirmed this same tendency. Chronoamperometric experiments showed two opposite behaviors at short oxidation times (0.1 s). The EOR was quickly catalyzed on the most disordered surface, Pt(111)-16, and was then rapidly deactivated. These results provide fundamental information on the EOR, which contributes to the atomic-level understanding of real catalysts.

Abstract
The use of ethanol as a fuel in direct alcohol fuel cells depends not only on its ease of production from renewable sources, but also on overcoming the challenges of storage and transportation. In an ethanol-based fuel cell, highly active electrocatalysts are required to break the C-C bond in ethanol for its complete oxidation at lower overpotentials, with the aim of increasing the cell performance, ethanol conversion rates, and fuel efficiency. In recent decades, the development of wet-chemistry methods has stimulated research into catalyst design, reactivity tailoring, and mechanistic investigations, and thus, created great opportunities to achieve efficient oxidation of ethanol. In this Minireview, the nanomaterials tested as electrocatalysts for the ethanol oxidation reaction in acid or alkaline environments are summarized. The focus is mainly on nanomaterials synthesized by using wet-chemistry methods, with particular attention on the relationship between the chemical and physical characteristics of the catalysts, for example, catalyst composition, morphology, structure, degree of alloying, presence of oxides or supports, and their activity for ethanol electro-oxidation. As potential alternatives to noble metals, non-noble-metal catalysts for ethanol oxidation are also briefly reviewed. Insights into further enhancing the catalytic performance through the design of efficient electrocatalysts are also provided.

Abstract
Pyruvic acid is an important chemical in the carboxylate platform. Obstacles for its implementation are the need for high energy in chemical synthesis and additives in fermentation leading to increased production costs. Here, pyruvic acid generation from direct conversion of lactic acid in fermentation broth by electrolysis method is presented. It was found that lactic acid could be converted to pyruvic acid in the electrolysis cell under alkaline conditions. Using 12.53 g/L lactic acid fermentation broth as anolyte, 7.01 g/L pyruvic acid could be produced and productivity to lactic acid was 57.66% at initial pH 11.74 and 5.0 V applied a voltage in the electrolysis cell. Meanwhile, 0.472 mol hydrogen was produced at the cathode. The electric energy efficiency was 76.18%. Lactic acid fermentation is relatively cheap and can be performed on many kinds of wastes and biomasses. The results suggest that pyruvic acid production from direct electrolysis of lactic acid fermentation broth can be economically feasible.

Abstract
Abstract
The application of shape-controlled metal nanoparticles is profoundly impacting the field of electrocatalysis. On the one hand, their use has remarkably enhanced the electrocatalytic activity of many different reactions of interest. On the other hand, their usage is deeply contributing to a correct understanding of the correlations between shape/surface structure and electrochemical reactivity at the nanoscale. However, from the point of view of an electrochemist, there are a number of questions that must be fully satisfied before the evaluation of the shaped metal nanoparticles as electrocatalysts including (i) surface cleaning, (ii) surface structure characterization, and (iii) correlations between particle shape and surface structure. In this chapter, we will cover all these aspects. Initially, we will collect and discuss about the different practical protocols and procedures for obtaining clean shaped metal nanoparticles. This is an indispensable requirement for the establishment of correct correlations between shape/surface structure and electrochemical reactivity. Next, we will also report how some easy-to-do electrochemical experiments including their subsequent analyses can enormously contribute to a detailed characterization of the surface structure of the shaped metal nanoparticles. At this point, we will remark that the key point determining the resulting electrocatalytic activity is the surface structure of the nanoparticles (obviously, the atomic composition is also extremely relevant) but not the particle shape. Finally, we will summarize some of the most significant advances/results on the use of these shaped metal nanoparticles in electrocatalysis covering a wide range of electrocatalytic reactions including fuel cell-related reactions (electrooxidation of formic acid, methanol and ethanol and oxygen reduction) and also CO2 electroreduction.

Abstract
This works deals with the identification of preferential site-specific activation at a model Pt surface during a multiproduct reaction. The (110)-type steps of a Pt(332) surface were selectively marked by attaching isotope-labeled 13CO molecules to them, and ethanol oxidation was probed by in situ Foureir transfrom infrared spectroscopy in order to precisely determine the specific sites at which CO2, acetic acid, and acetaldehyde were preferentially formed. The (110) steps were active for splitting the C-C bond, but unexpectedly, we provide evidence that the pathway of CO2 formation was preferentially activated at (111) terraces, rather than at (110) steps. Acetaldehyde was formed at (111) terraces at potentials comparable to those for CO2 formation also at (111) terraces, while the acetic acid formation pathway became active only when the (110) steps were released by the oxidation of adsorbed 13CO, at potentials higher than for the formation of CO2 at (111) terraces of the stepped surface.

Abstract
Despite the significance of phosphate buffer solutions in (bio)electrochemistry, detailed adsorption properties of phosphate anions at metal surfaces remain poorly understood. Herein, phosphate adsorption at quasi-Au(111) surfaces prepared by a chemical deposition technique has been systematically investigated over a wide range of pH by surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy in the ATR configuration (ATR-SEIRAS). Two different pH-dependent states of adsorbed phosphate are spectroscopically detected. Together with DFT calculations, the present study reveals that pKa for adsorbed phosphate species at the interface is much lower than that for phosphate species in the bulk solution; the dominant phosphate anion, H2PO4(-) at 2 < pH < 7 or HPO4(2-) at 7 < pH < 12, undergoes deprotonation upon adsorption and transforms into the adsorbed HPO4 or PO4, respectively. This study leads to a conclusion different than earlier spectroscopic studies have reached, highlighting the capability of the ATR-SEIRAS technique at electrified metal-solution interfaces.
