Fe Single-Atom Catalysts on MOF-5 Derived Carbon for Efficient Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Xiaoying Xie et al.

Summary: The development of Fe single-atom catalysts using MOF-5 as a precursor has led to the creation of highly-porous carbon with an ultrahigh specific surface area, resulting in improved performance in proton exchange membrane fuel cells for the oxygen reduction reaction. The Fe SAC-MOF-5 catalyst demonstrated excellent half-wave potential and peak power density due to the high density of single Fe atoms and increased exposure of active sites on the external surface area of the carbon support.

A single-atom library for guided monometallic and concentration-complex multimetallic designs

Lili Han et al.

Summary: Single-atom catalysts have shown enhanced catalytic properties, but most studies have focused on a limited number of metal combinations. In this research, a library of 37 different monometallic elements is synthesized, characterized, and analyzed to establish the largest reported single-atom catalyst library. Unified principles on the design of single-atom catalysts are uncovered, and the library is utilized to explore complex multimetallic phase spaces. The findings demonstrate that single-atom anchor sites can serve as structural units to assemble concentration-complex single-atom catalyst materials with multiple elements.

Identification of durable and non-durable FeNx sites in Fe-N-C materials for proton exchange membrane fuel cells

Jingkun Li et al.

Summary: Fe-N-C materials show promise as an alternative to platinum in acidic polymer fuel cells, but limited understanding of their operando degradation hinders rational approaches to improved durability. Two distinct FeNx sites in the catalysts degrade differently during the oxygen reduction reaction, with one site substantially contributing after 50 hours of operation.

Ji Yang et al.

Summary: Atomically dispersed Cu-N-C single-atom catalysts with Cu2+-N-4 structure exhibit comparable activity and superior durability to Pt/C in the electrochemical reduction of oxygen.
