Zheng Zhou et al.

Summary: Electrocatalytic hydrogen peroxide synthesis via two-electron oxygen reduction reaction pathway is becoming increasingly important due to its green production process. Introducing cationic vacancies on nickel phosphide as a proof-of-concept to regulate the catalyst's properties has led to efficient H2O2 electrosynthesis.

Regulating electron transfer over asymmetric low-spin Co(II) for highly selective electrocatalysis

Kuang-Hsu Wu et al.

Summary: Modulating the steric-electronic configuration of metal-organic centers is key for tuning the activity and selectivity of heterogeneous reactions. In this study, three different asymmetric metal-organic complexes with unique steric-electronic structures are immobilized on nanocarbon for an electron-transfer-controlled oxygen reduction reaction. The results show that acidic diamine ligands facilitate a four-electron transfer, while basic ligands drive a highly selective two-electron route, regulated by the ligand's proton transfer ability.

Tailoring Acidic Oxygen Reduction Selectivity on Single-Atom Catalysts via Modification of First and Second Coordination Spheres

Cheng Tang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the molecular-level local structure, including first and second coordination spheres, plays a critical role in determining the selectivity of catalytic reactions. By modifying the first and second coordination spheres of Co-SACs, it is possible to tailor the oxygen reduction reaction selectivity. The unique selectivity change originates from the structure-dependent shift of active sites, leading to improved activity and selectivity for acidic H2O2 electrosynthesis.
