Atomic-Level Modulation of Electronic Density at Cobalt Single-Atom Sites Derived from Metal-Organic Frameworks: Enhanced Oxygen Reduction Performance

Yuanjun Chen et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the correlation between atomic configuration induced electronic density of single-atom Co active sites and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance. The designed and synthesized Co-1-N3PS/HC catalyst shows outstanding ORR activity in alkaline and acidic media, surpassing Pt/C and most non-precious ORR electrocatalysts. Insights from this work promote rational design of efficient catalysts.

Identification of Single-Atom Ni Site Active toward Electrochemical CO2 Conversion to CO

Haesol Kim et al.

Summary: The study found that the broken ligand-field symmetry is key for active CO2 electrolysis, which leads to an increase in the Ni redox potential yielding Ni-I, and is directly related to the stability of the Ni center. This suggests a new direction for rational ligand-field engineering of single-atom Ni catalysts for efficient CO2 electrolysis.

Dual oxidation and sulfurization enabling hybrid Co/Co3O4@CoS in S/N-doped carbon matrix for bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis and rechargeable Zn-air batteries

Haoran Pan et al.

Summary: This study presents a hybrid Co-based carbon composite derived from ZIF-67 as a bifunctional ORR/OER electrocatalyst, showing excellent performance and stability in a custom-built Zn-air battery. The catalyst, with multiple active sites including Co-N4, Co-N/SC, C-N/S-C, Co3O4 and CoS, as well as surface and edge defects in the carbon matrix, exhibits highly efficient bifunctional ORR/OER catalytic activity for reversible oxygen electrodes. The catalyst demonstrates competitive performance against state-of-the-art bifunctional ORR/OER electrocatalysts reported to date, positioning it among the best non-precious metal catalysts for reversible oxygen reactions.
