Solvent molecules form surface redox mediators in situ and cocatalyze O2 reduction on Pd

Jason S. Adams et al.

Summary: Solvent molecules play a crucial role in influencing the reactions of molecular hydrogen and oxygen on palladium nanoparticles, particularly methanol and water acting as cocatalysts for oxygen reduction. Methanol generates hydroxymethyl intermediates while water heterolytically oxidizes hydrogen to produce hydronium ions and provide electrons for oxygen reduction.

Deciphering the oxygen activation mechanism at the CuC site of particulate methane monooxygenase

Wei Peng et al.

Summary: This study deciphers the catalytic cycle of pMMO in the presence of the physiological reductant duroquinol (DQH(2)), revealing that O-2 activation is initiated by the Cu-C(ii)-DQH(-) species. The research also uncovers the important roles of the phenol co-substrate for O-2 activation.

Unifying Concepts in Electro- and Thermocatalysis toward Hydrogen Peroxide Production

Jason S. Adams et al.

Summary: The study investigates the relationship between H2O2 and H2O formation on metal nanoparticles, analyzing reaction rates and selectivities under different conditions. The findings suggest that catalysts operate at potentials depending on reactant activities, H2O2 selectivity, and rate constants for specific reactions. This analysis provides insights for optimizing H2O2 formation rates and selectivities, guiding the design and operation of catalysts for efficient H2O2 production.

Chemical vapour deposition of Fe-N-C oxygen reduction catalysts with full utilization of dense Fe-N4 sites

Li Jiao et al.

Summary: Replacing scarce and expensive platinum with metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction in proton exchange membrane fuel cells has been impeded by the low active site density and site utilization of M-N-C. These limitations have now been overcome by implementing trans-metalation of Zn-N-4 sites into Fe-N-4 sites.

Thermochemical aerobic oxidation catalysis in water can be analysed as two coupled electrochemical half-reactions

Jaeyune Ryu et al.

Summary: The study reveals that O-2 acts as an electron scavenger to provide driving force for substrate oxidation in heterogeneous aqueous-phase aerobic oxidations; electrochemical reactions at mixed potential can achieve similar rates and selectivities as thermochemical reactions; designing new oxidation schemes based on electrochemistry principles enables quantitative and predictive link between thermochemical and electrochemical catalysis.

Non-covalent assembly of proton donors and p-benzoquinone anions for co-electrocatalytic reduction of dioxygen

Shelby L. Hooe et al.

Summary: The H(2)Q/BQ redox couple shows mechanistic parallels to ubiquinone in the electron transport chain, and has applications in catalytic reactions and energy storage. Hydrogen-bonded quinone anions can undergo two-electron reduction and proton transfer at high proton concentrations.
