Comments on: Noble-metal-free NiCu/CeO2 catalysts for H2 generation from hydrous hydrazine

Gorazd Bercic

Summary: The analysis of two previously published articles on the catalytic decomposition of hydrous hydrazine revealed that the Ni0.5Cu0.5/CeO2 catalyst is more active than Ni/CeO2. However, the impact of external mass transport on the observed decomposition rate contradicts the fundamental chemical engineering principles of heterogeneous catalysis. The observed deviation can only be described by the copper-induced homogeneous reaction.

A mild reduction of Co-doped MnO2 to create abundant oxygen vacancies and active sites for enhanced oxygen evolution reaction

Jincan Jia et al.

Summary: Efficient and non-precious-metal-based catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remain a substantial challenge. In this study, hierarchical Co-doped-MnO2@MnCo2O4.5 nanowire/nanosheet nanocomposites with abundant oxygen vacancies and active sites demonstrated higher catalytic activity than pristine Co-doped MnO2 nanowires. The excellent OER performance was attributed to the synergistic advantages of abundant oxygen vacancies and active sites over the hierarchical nanowire-nanosheet architectures.
