Theoretical studies of MXene-supported single-atom catalysts: Os1/Ti2CS2 for low-temperature CO oxidation

Yang Meng et al.

Summary: A new sulfur-functionalized MXene Ti2C-supported osmium-metal single-atom catalyst (SAC) Os-1/Ti2CS2 has been identified with high catalytic activity for CO oxidation at low temperatures. Theoretical studies suggest that the termolecular Langmuir-Hinshelwood-B (TLH-B) mechanism is the most feasible for CO oxidation on Os-1 SA, with a low reaction barrier energy of 0.74 eV.

Combined anodic and cathodic hydrogen production from aldehyde oxidation and hydrogen evolution reaction

Tehua Wang et al.

Summary: This study presents a hydrogen production system that combines anodic and cathodic H-2 production from low-potential aldehyde oxidation and the hydrogen evolution reaction, respectively, at a low voltage of about 0.1V. Unlike conventional aldehyde electrooxidation, the low-potential aldehyde oxidation enables the hydrogen atom to recombine into H-2 gas. The assembled electrolyser requires only about 0.35 kWh of electricity input per m(3) of H-2, providing a promising avenue for the safe, efficient and scalable production of high-purity hydrogen.

Regulations of active moiety in single atom catalysts for electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction

Peng Zhu et al.

Summary: Hydrogen production from water splitting using renewable electric energy is a key topic for achieving a carbon neutral future. Single atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as a new frontier in catalysis, particularly in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), due to their high activity and excellent chemical selectivity. However, the influence of the neighboring coordinated atoms from the supports is often neglected in the classification of SACs. This review proposes a new classification method based on the type of supports and highlights the importance of the metal-support interaction and coordination environment. Structural designing strategies are also proposed to address the current challenges in SACs for HER.
