Sublayer-enhanced atomic sites of single atom catalysts through in situ atomization of metal oxide nanoparticles

Xing Wu et al.

Summary: Carbon supported single atom catalysts (SACs) have shown great potential as effective electrocatalysts in energy storage and conversion devices. This research demonstrates that by controlling the layers of single atom active sites, the catalysts exhibit enhanced activity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), leading to higher turnover frequency (TOF) and reducing the reaction overpotential. The newly-developed catalysts with sublayer-enhanced active sites also show significantly improved performance in alkaline and acidic conditions, making them promising for applications in Zn-air batteries and fuel cells.

Anomalous Size Effect of Pt Ultrathin Nanowires on Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Zhaoyu Yao et al.

Summary: A study discovered an anomalous size effect of Pt nanowires, where the activity and durability of oxygen reduction reaction increased as the diameter decreased from 2.4 to 1.1 nm. This was attributed to increased compressive strain weakening adsorption and suppressing Pt dissolution, as well as the reduced low-coordinated sites and intrinsic structural advantage on the nanowires.

Atomically dispersed single iron sites for promoting Pt and Pt3Co fuel cell catalysts: performance and durability improvements

Zhi Qiao et al.

Summary: Integrating PGM-free atomically-dispersed single metal active sites in the carbon support can effectively enhance the performance of PGM catalysts, achieving higher efficiency and sustainability with lower loading. The synergistic interaction between Pt clusters and surrounding FeN4 sites enhances the intrinsic activity of Pt, leading to significantly improved overall catalytic performance and stability.
