Insight into Structural Evolution, Active Sites, and Stability of Heterogeneous Electrocatalysts

Shenlong Zhao et al.

Summary: Studying the structure-activity correlations of electrocatalysts is crucial for improving the conversion of electrical to chemical energy. Recent evidence obtained through operando characterization techniques shows that the structural evolution of catalysts, caused by their interaction with electric fields, electrolytes, and reactants/intermediates, leads to the formation of real active sites. It is therefore important to summarize the research advances in structural evolution and envision future developments. In this Minireview, the fundamental concepts associated with structural evolution, the triggers of this evolution, and advanced operando characterizations are discussed. The reversibility of structural evolution in heterogeneous electrocatalysis, with a focus on the oxygen evolution and CO2 reduction reactions, is also highlighted. Finally, the key challenges and opportunities in this exciting field are presented.

Elucidating the role of hydrogen species originating from water vapor in the oxidation mechanism of cerium

Danielle Schweke et al.

Summary: The oxidation process of cerium in air was studied using structural and compositional analyses. It was found that the oxide contains a high content of hydrogen, mainly in the form of hydroxyls and hydride ions. The presence of hydroxyls leads to the formation of a thin hydroxide layer and an increased oxidation rate. The observed anisotropy in oxidation rate is consistent with the efficiency of water splitting and the preferred paths for hydroxyl diffusion.

Electrocatalysis Goes Nuts

Andrew R. Akbashev

Summary: Researchers often overlook the complexity and usability of nanoelectrocatalysts with outstanding performance, leading to a lack of meaningful interpretation and scientific insight in previous studies. This article suggests that experiments should be designed to minimize the complexity of electrode materials in order to obtain interpretable electrochemical responses. Greater recognition of the challenges in this field will help improve the quality of research in electrocatalysis.

Operando Identification of the Reversible Skin Layer on Co3O4 as a Three-Dimensional Reaction Zone for Oxygen Evolution

Tim Wiegmann et al.

Summary: Co oxides and oxyhydroxides have been extensively studied as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction. This study focuses on epitaxial spinel-type Co3O4 films and reveals that the average thickness of the skin layer on the Co3O4 surface correlates with the reactivity of the oxygen evolution reaction. Increasing the thickness of the skin layer enhances the reactivity, and there is a proportional relationship between the number of reaction centers in the skin layer and the activity of the oxygen evolution reaction.

The Effect of Fe Dopant Location in Co(Fe)OOHx Nanoparticles for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Zhaozong Sun et al.

Summary: The addition of iron (Fe) affects the activity of cobalt and nickel oxide nanoparticles in the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction, with the distribution and concentration of Fe within the nanoparticles playing a crucial role in determining the OER performance. The presence of Fe at edge or basal plane sites of the nanoparticles results in different effects on OER activity, leading to a nonlinear relationship between Fe content and activity. Adjusting not only the Fe concentration but also its distribution within the catalyst nanoparticles can enhance OER performance.

Interaction of Hydrogen with Ceria: Hydroxylation, Reduction, and Hydride Formation on the Surface and in the Bulk

Zhaorui Li et al.

Summary: The study explores the interplay between surface and bulk in hydride formation in ceria (CeO2) using experiment and theoretical calculations. It shows that as the concentration of oxygen vacancies increases, hydride becomes more stable and surface hydride formation is kinetically favorable at relatively low temperatures. This information is important for understanding the reactivity of ceria-based catalysts in a hydrogen-rich atmosphere.

Summary: Heterogeneous catalysts often undergo structural transformations during thermal, electrocatalytic, and photocatalytic reactions, affecting the properties of active sites. While structural transformations of photocatalysts and electrocatalysts have been observed in operando, the implications for catalytic behavior are not fully understood yet. Understanding the evolution of solid thermal catalysts can provide insights into emerging research in photocatalysis and electrocatalysis.

Activity-stability benefits of Pt/C fuel cell electrocatalysts prepared via remote CeO2 interfacial doping

Ki Ro Yoon et al.

Summary: Ceria coated carbon nanotubes were prepared as a versatile support material to improve the activity and stability of platinum-based catalysts. The CeO2 nanoparticles had a remote functionalization effect on Pt electrocatalysis, modulating the electronic structure and facilitating O2 adsorption without intrinsic chemical doping or Pt-alloying. This led to enhanced ORR activity through d-band electron filling in Pt and active oxygens delivery via oxygen spillover at the Pt-CeOx interface.

Interfacing or Doping? Role of Ce in Highly Promoted Water Oxidation of NiFe-Layered Double Hydroxide

Mengjie Liu et al.

Summary: Surface engineering of transition metal layered double hydroxides (LDHs) can enhance their catalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The study on Ce-doped NiFe-LDHs and Ce(OH)(3) interfaced NiFe-LDHs reveals that Ce and Fe atoms facilitate the oxidation of Ni3+/4+ in NiFe-LDH, resulting in superior catalytic activity for water oxidation. The enhanced electron transfer between Ce(OH)(3) and the matrix in Ce@NiFe-LDH leads to better catalytic activity compared to CeNiFe-LDH, as demonstrated by first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Recent advances in activating surface reconstruction for the high-efficiency oxygen evolution reaction

Likun Gao et al.

Summary: Recent advancements in the development of cost-effective and high-efficiency transition metal-based electrocatalysts have led to a better understanding of the dynamic reconstruction of surface structures during electrocatalytic water oxidation, especially the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Through operando and in situ techniques, it has been found that electrocatalysts undergo surface reconstruction to form actual active species during OER in alkaline solution. By exploring issues such as initiators for surface reconstruction and establishing relationships between structure, composition, and electrocatalytic activity, progress has been made in the rational manipulation of in situ catalyst surface reconstruction for the development of high-efficiency electrocatalysts.
