Tailoring the d-Orbital Splitting Manner of Single Atomic Sites for Enhanced Oxygen Reduction

Yunkun Dai et al.

Summary: A strategy of Fe d-orbital splitting modulation by constructing axial coordination on Fe-N-4 sites is presented to regulate the electronic states of single atomic sites around the Fermi level. The axial tractions induce the distortion of Fe-N-4 SP and up to the quasi-octahedral coordination (Fe-N4O1 OCquasi), leading to electron rearrangement and diluted spin polarization. This work provides a novel understanding for improving electrocatalytic performance through orbital-scale manipulation.

Optimizing the Electrocatalytic Selectivity of Carbon Dioxide Reduction Reaction by Regulating the Electronic Structure of Single-Atom M-N-C Materials

Tianmi Tang et al.

Summary: Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) is an efficient strategy to convert excess CO2 to value-added products. Atomically dispersed metal-nitrogen-doped carbon (M-N-C) materials are superior catalysts for CO2RR due to their unique structures. However, CO2RR is challenging due to the high energy barrier involved.

Toward Rational Design of Dual-Metal-Site Catalysts: Catalytic Descriptor Exploration

Chuanyi Jia et al.

Summary: Dual-metal-site catalysts (DMSCs) have great potential in heterogeneous catalysis, but the underlying relationships connecting their dual-site synergistic effects on catalytic performance remain unclear. This comprehensive first-principles study reveals that the N-3-coordinated-adjacent dual-metal model exhibits stronger synergistic and dynamic effects, leading to higher catalytic activity. Fe-containing combinations are generally more active, with Fe-Ni combination identified as the most promising candidate for CO oxidation. Electronic/spectral descriptors related to charge transfer, average charge on metals, average d-orbital center on metals, and stretching vibrational frequency of reactants are found to reflect the binding ability/stability of O-2 as lone reactant. The transferability of these descriptors to multimolecular catalysis is confirmed, providing potential design strategies for high-efficiency DMSCs.

Pt Single Atoms Supported on N-Doped Mesoporous Hollow Carbon Spheres with Enhanced Electrocatalytic H2-Evolution Activity

Panyong Kuang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the tailoring of the electronic structure of Pt single atoms supported on N-doped mesoporous hollow carbon spheres through strong EMSI engineering, leading to the Pt-1/NMHCS composite exhibiting higher activity and stability in catalyzing the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction compared to Pt-NP and commercial Pt/C. The strong EMSI effect in a unique N-1-Pt-1-C-2 coordination structure significantly modifies the electronic structure of Pt 5d states, enhancing the reduction of adsorbed proton and facilitating H-H coupling for Pt-like HER activity.

Tailoring the 3d-orbital electron filling degree of metal center to boost alkaline hydrogen evolution electrocatalysis

Yana Men et al.

Summary: Tailoring the 3d-orbital electron filling degree of Co center in CoP can enhance the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance at the atomic level, with water dissociation step identified as the root of sluggish alkaline HER kinetics. By doping Se into CoP, remarkable HER performance was achieved, and this design principle can also be applied to other anions-doped CoP for rational design of transition metal-based electrocatalysts towards alkaline HER.

Heterogeneous Two-Atom Single-Cluster Catalysts for the Nitrogen Electroreduction Reaction

Jun-Chi Chen et al.

Summary: The electrocatalytic dinitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) has the potential to produce ammonia using renewable energies, and finding stable and efficient catalysts is crucial. Recent studies have shown that heterogeneous single-cluster catalysts (SCCs) with atomically precise active sites exhibit promising catalytic activity for NRR, and density functional theory has been used to investigate the mechanism. The study reveals the importance of factors such as the reducibility of the catalyst and the orbital interaction in N-2 absorption.

Amination strategy to boost the CO2 electroreduction current density of M-N/C single-atom catalysts to the industrial application level

Zhipeng Chen et al.

Summary: Despite the high Faraday efficiency for CO production, single-atom catalysts immobilized on nitrogen-doped carbon supports demonstrate low reaction current density. A novel amination strategy significantly increases the current density for CO production, particularly the aminated Ni single-atom catalyst achieving a remarkable CO partial current density of 450 mA cm(-2) with high FE. DFT calculations and experimental research reveal that the enhanced activity is due to the regulation of electronic structure of the aminated catalysts, offering a promising method for improving current density in industrial-level single-atom catalysts for CO2RR.
