Accelerating hydrazine-assisted hydrogen production kinetics with Mn dopant modulated CoS2 nanowire arrays

Junrong Hou et al.

Summary: This study reports a Mn-doped CoS2 catalyst with excellent bifunctional electrocatalytic activity and long-term stability for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR). The introduction of Mn significantly reduces the Gibbs free energy of the adsorbed H* and the potential rate-limiting step for the HzOR process. This work provides theoretical guidance for the design of advanced bifunctional electrocatalysts and promotes high efficiency and energy-saving H-2 production technology.

Exploring the relationship between the physical properties of activated carbon catalysts and their efficiency in catalyzing hydrogen iodide decomposition to produce hydrogen

Sida Rong et al.

Summary: In this study, a series of biological activated carbon catalysts (ACCs) with different specific surface areas and pore structures were prepared by controlling the changes in carbonization and activation methods during the preparation of activated carbon. Hierarchical porous ACCs with larger specific surface area have higher hydrogen iodide decomposition efficiency, with samples H240H1h and H240C4h showing the highest catalytic activity in the series.

Dual Inorganic Sacrificial Template Synthesis of Hierarchically Porous Carbon with Specific N Sites for Efficient Oxygen Reduction

Jiayu Hao et al.

Summary: Efficiently controlled preparation of functional oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) carbon electrocatalysts with multi-preferred structures from carbohydrate-containing small molecules via simple one-step pyrolysis remains a challenge. However, using a step-by-step spontaneous gas-foaming strategy and dual inorganic sacrificial templates, 3D hierarchically porous networks with tunable N sites can be successfully prepared, exhibiting abundant defects and microscopic pore structures. The carbon materials prepared by this strategy show low ORR overpotentials and outperform Pt/C, demonstrating the potential of converting carbohydrate-containing small molecules to functional carbon materials for electrocatalysis.

Atomic Fe-Zn dual-metal sites for high-efficiency pH-universal oxygen reduction catalysis

Jie Xu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the preparation of Fe-Zn-SA/NC catalyst for efficient ORR reaction in all pH range, showing high half-wave potentials and stability, comparable to Pt/C. The Fe-Zn-SA/NC catalyst also exhibited high power density and durability when assembled into a Zn-air battery, indicating its potential for real energy-related devices. The theoretical calculations attribute the superior catalytic activity of Fe-Zn-SA/NC to the lower energy barriers of ORR at the Fe-Zn-N-6 centers, offering new insights for dual-atom catalysts in energy conversion related catalytic reactions.
