Synergistic Fe-Se Atom Pairs as Bifunctional Oxygen Electrocatalysts Boost Low-Temperature Rechargeable Zn-Air Battery

Yao Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, bifunctional electrocatalysts, Fe-Se/NC, were successfully constructed by synthesizing atomically dispersed Fe-Se atom pairs supported on N-doped carbon. The obtained Fe-Se/NC exhibited remarkable bifunctional oxygen catalytic performance with a low potential difference of 0.698 V, surpassing that of previously reported Fe-based single-atom catalysts. Theoretical calculations revealed that the p-d orbital hybridization around the Fe-Se atom pairs resulted in significantly asymmetrical polarized charge distributions. Moreover, Fe-Se/NC-based solid-state rechargeable Zn-air batteries demonstrated superior cycling and stability compared to the traditional Pt/C+Ir/C catalysts, even at extremely low temperatures.

Regulations of active moiety in single atom catalysts for electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction

Peng Zhu et al.

Summary: Hydrogen production from water splitting using renewable electric energy is a key topic for achieving a carbon neutral future. Single atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as a new frontier in catalysis, particularly in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), due to their high activity and excellent chemical selectivity. However, the influence of the neighboring coordinated atoms from the supports is often neglected in the classification of SACs. This review proposes a new classification method based on the type of supports and highlights the importance of the metal-support interaction and coordination environment. Structural designing strategies are also proposed to address the current challenges in SACs for HER.

Summary: In this study, the detailed ORR catalytic performance of M-N4-xOx (M = Fe, Co, and Ni; x = 1-4) was explored using density functional theory. Two highly active ORR catalysts, Co-N3O1 and Ni-N2O2, with very small overpotentials were identified. The electronic structure analysis suggests that the high activity of these catalysts is attributed to their small energy gaps and moderate energy levels.

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.
