Uncovering Dynamic Edge-Sites in Atomic Co-N-C Electrocatalyst for Selective Hydrogen Peroxide Production

Jinwen Hu et al.

Summary: Understanding the nature and spectroscopic fingerprints of single-atom catalytic sites is crucial for designing target catalysts. In this study, in situ X-ray absorption and infrared spectroscopy were used to investigate the edge-site-specific chemistry of Co-N-C electrocatalyst during the oxygen reduction reaction. The unique edge-hosted architecture allows for remarkable structural flexibility of single-atom Co site, resulting in dynamic oxo adsorption and valence state changes. Theoretical calculations show that the in situ reconstructed Co-1-N-2-oxo and peripheral oxygen groups synergistically enhance the adsorption of *OOH intermediate and increase the activation barrier for its dissociation, leading to robust acidic ORR activity and 2e(-) selectivity for H2O2 production.

Tailoring the Electronic Structure of an Atomically Dispersed Zinc Electrocatalyst: Coordination Environment Regulation for High Selectivity Oxygen Reduction

Yaling Jia et al.

Summary: Accurately regulating the selectivity of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) by tailoring the coordination environment of atomically dispersed Zn sites can achieve high selectivity, with ZnO3C catalyst processing a 2 e(-) ORR pathway for H2O2 generation in 0.1 M KOH. This is attributed to the decreased electron density around Zn in ZnO3C which changes the intermediate adsorption and contributes to the high selectivity towards 2 e(-) ORR.
