How pH Affects the Oxygen Reduction Reactivity of Fe-N-C Materials

Tianyang Liu et al.

Summary: By using first-principles microkinetic computations, we discover a pH-dependent regulation mechanism in Fe-N-C materials, which explains the significant activity difference in acidic and alkaline media. We find that FeN4 centers of Fe-N-C catalysts are covered by intrinsic intermediates *OH and *O at different pH values, forming FeN4-OH and FeN4-O centers. The activity difference of Fe-N-C catalysts can be attributed to the optimization of electronic structure and intermediate adsorption induced by *O coordination. Our work provides mechanistic insights into pH effects and contributes to more effective catalyst design.

Axial coordination modification of M-N4 single-atom catalysts to regulate the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction

Mengbo Ma et al.

Summary: The CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to CO using Earth-abundant single-atom catalysts (SACs) based on Fe, Co, and Ni shows great potential, but the activity and selectivity still need improvement. Recent studies have found that axial coordination can enhance the activity of M-N-C SACs, but only limited ligands have been reported. This study systematically investigates the modification of MN4 (M = Fe, Co, Ni) SACs using a series of organic ligands and reveals that the introduction of axial ligands can significantly affect the adsorption and reaction characteristics. The findings provide new insights for the development of highly effective CO2RR catalysts.
