Tailoring Metal-Oxygen Bonds Boosts Oxygen Reaction Kinetics for High-Performance Zinc-Air Batteries

Changchun Ye et al.

Summary: We developed a unique strategy to tailor metal-oxygen bond structure accurately through amorphous/crystalline heterojunction realized by ion-exchange. The optimized structure showed strengthened Sn-O bond, weakened Co-O bond, and introduced additional Fe-O bond, accompanied by abundant cobalt defects and optimal oxygen defects. The Fe-doped amorphous/crystalline catalyst demonstrated excellent oxygen evolution reaction and oxygen reduction reaction activities with a smaller potential gap, and the Zn-air battery based on it exhibited outstanding output power density, cycle performance, and flexibility.

Ru-Substituted MnO2 for Accelerated Water Oxidation: The Feedback of Strain-Induced and Polymorph-Dependent Structural Changes to the Catalytic Activity and Mechanism

Yongze Qin et al.

Summary: Heteroatomic modulation of MnO2 is an effective way to introduce and tailor the catalytically active sites for electrochemical water oxidation. This study systematically investigates the topological effect on oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity for partially Ru-substituted MnO2 of various polymorphs, and reveals that different porosities of MnO2 respond differently to Ru integration, resulting in varied lattice strains and morphological changes. The integration of Ru not only appends active sites to MnO2, but also modifies the crystal structure to retroactively modulate the catalytic activity.

Engineering defect-rich Fe-doped NiO coupled Ni cluster nanotube arrays with excellent oxygen evolution activity

Yaqi Lei et al.

Summary: The Fe-doped NiO CHNAs exhibit excellent catalytic performance and outstanding durability in the oxygen evolution reaction due to their large specific area for catalytic reaction and the downshift of the d band of metal sites caused by Fe doping, as confirmed by X-ray absorption fine structure. The OER of Fe-NiO-Ni CHNAs follows the adsorbate evolution mechanism with a nonconcerted proton-electron transfer pathway as a rate-determining step.

Bimetallic monolayer catalyst breaks the activity-selectivity trade-off on metal particle size for efficient chemoselective hydrogenations

Qiaoqiao Guan et al.

Summary: The precise deposition of a platinum monolayer on large gold nanoparticles breaks the trade-off between activity and selectivity, resulting in high activity and 99% selectivity in the platinum-catalysed hydrogenation of halonitrobenzenes. This breakthrough is attributed to the upshift of the platinum 5d-band centre through platinum lattice expansion and ligand effect, as well as the exposure of more terrace sites on large particles, providing a promising platform for the rational design of metal catalysts with superior performance in hydrogenation reactions.
