Platinum nanosheets synthesized via topotactic reduction of single-layer platinum oxide nanosheets for electrocatalysis

Daisuke Takimoto et al.

Summary: We synthesized double-layer Pt nanosheets with a thickness of 0.5 nm by reducing single-layer PtOx nanosheets exfoliated from layered platinic acid. The ORR activity of these Pt nanosheets is twice that of conventionally used 3 nm-sized Pt nanoparticles due to their large electrochemically active surface area (124 m(2) g(-1)). These Pt nanosheets show great potential in reducing Pt usage by enhancing ORR activity and offer strategies for designing advanced catalysts superior to traditional nanoparticle systems in fuel cells, rechargeable metal-air batteries, and fine chemical production.

Interfacial Water Manipulation with Ionic Liquids for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Yawei Li et al.

Summary: We investigate the influence of hydrophobic ionic liquid (IL) thin films on interfacial water structure and its impact on the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Our findings demonstrate that IL thin films reduce water content at the interface and inhibit the formation of hydrogen bond stabilized water organization. This exclusion of water leads to a decrease in the coverage of OHad spectator species, weakening its interaction with the catalyst surface and lowering the barrier to the last step in the ORR mechanism. Microkinetic modeling confirms the destabilized impact of OHad on ORR kinetics.

Modeling Anion Poisoning during Oxygen Reduction on Pt Near-Surface Alloys

Amanda S. Petersen et al.

Summary: In this study, the effects of phosphate anion poisoning on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of Pt-based electrodes were investigated using a computational model and rotating disk electrode measurements. By varying the subsurface Cu content of a Cu/Pt(111) alloy, the *OH binding energies on the surface were tuned through ligand effects, resulting in tuning of the ORR activity. The adsorbed phosphate species on the surface were found to directly affect the adsorption of *OH, and the three-fold binding sites of phosphate anions limited the packing of poisoning phosphate, allowing for *OH adsorption even when the surface was poisoned.

Electrochemically corroded thick microporous N-C layer encapsulated Pt/C as highly active and ultra-highly stable electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation and oxygen reduction reaction in acidic media

Zaoxue Yan et al.

Summary: We demonstrate that the electrochemically corroded thick nitrogen-doped carbon (N-C) layer encapsulated Pt/C catalyst exhibits high activity and ultrahigh stability for methanol oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions. The encapsulation of thick N-C layers initially results in low activity, but after an aging corrosion process, the activities increase significantly and remain stable. The catalyst also shows high power densities and maintains stability in an acidic membrane fuel cell. The corrosion of the thick N-C layer leads to the formation of micropores, which enhance mass transport and protect Pt particles, thereby improving activity and stability.

Summary: A catalyst with an ionic liquid layer, fct-PtCo/C@ILs, was prepared by modifying the chemically ordered platinum-cobalt catalyst, fct-PtCo/C, using a hydrophobic ionic liquid, [BMIM] [TFSI], with high oxygen solubility.

A modeling study of PEM fuel cells with novel catalyst monolayers under low platinum loading

Jingtian Wu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the reaction rate and distribution of oxygen and liquid water in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells with catalyst layers using three-dimensional modeling. The results show that the catalyst layers have a low effective exchange current density due to a low electrochemical surface area (ECSA) and operate with low oxygen content at low voltages. This leads to significant in-plane variation of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) rate, particularly with air cathode reactant flow. The through-plane ORR variations are smaller due to the thin catalyst layer thickness. To improve the performance of the low Pt loading novel catalyst layers, it is necessary to increase the ECSA and the gas diffusion layer (GDL) oxygen diffusivity considerably.

Summary: This study investigates the origin and mechanism of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of platinum catalysts on vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (VACNFs) using a multiscale modeling approach. The results show that as the size of platinum nanoparticles decreases, the percentage of low coordination sites increases, leading to a decrease in ORR activity. Additionally, the binding energies of OOH and OH on VACNF-supported platinum nanoparticles are significantly higher than on Pt (111), resulting in a lower limiting potential for the ORR.

The immobilization of Pt NPs on CNT surfaces is facilitated by electrostatic interactions. The Pt-SWCNTs and Pt-MWCNTs prepared using a specific method exhibit significantly improved ORR mass activity due to the small size and high dispersity of Pt NPs. Surprisingly, the ORR activity of Pt-SWCNTs slightly increases after an accelerated degradation test, attributed to a shape variation of Pt NPs from spherical to nanorod-like.
