Geometrically Deformed Iron-Based Single-Atom Catalysts for High-Performance Acidic Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Lei Shi et al.

Summary: This article proposes a simple but efficient method to synthesize a geometrically deformed single Fe site catalyst by trace NaCl-coating-assisted pyrolysis of Fe-containing zeolitic imidazolate frameworks. The newly developed catalysts exhibit improved oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance due to the significantly exposed active sites and enhanced mass transport. The enhanced intrinsic activity is attributed to the synergy of deformed Fe-N-4 moieties and the surrounding graphitic N dopant. Additionally, the locally increased graphitization can efficiently reduce carbon corrosion, thereby promoting catalyst stability.

Assistance of rearrangement of active sites in Fe/N/C catalyst for harvesting ultra-high power density PEMFCs

Yongkang Wu et al.

Summary: The infeasible cost of PEMFCs can be effectively lowered by using PGM-free catalysts instead of Pt-based catalysts.

A highly efficient axial coordinated CoN5 electrocatalyst via pyrolysis-free strategy for alkaline polymer electrolyte fuel cells

Bolong Yang et al.

Summary: In this study, a new synthetic method for preparing an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst with Co-N5 active sites was successfully developed. Compared with the traditional Co-N-4 active sites, the obtained catalyst showed higher half-wave potential and maximum power density in alkaline polymer electrolyte fuel cells (APEFCs). The rate of ORR was significantly increased by modulating the electronic and geometric structure. Additionally, in-situ Raman spectroscopy demonstrated that Co-N-5 is the active site and axial Co-N coordination can enhance O-2 adsorption and activation, thereby boosting ORR performance. This research provides atomic-level insight into the relationship between the electronic structure of the active center and the ORR performance, as well as guidance for the rational design of high-efficiency electrocatalysts.
