Chemical vapour deposition of Fe-N-C oxygen reduction catalysts with full utilization of dense Fe-N4 sites

Li Jiao et al.

Summary: Replacing scarce and expensive platinum with metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction in proton exchange membrane fuel cells has been impeded by the low active site density and site utilization of M-N-C. These limitations have now been overcome by implementing trans-metalation of Zn-N-4 sites into Fe-N-4 sites.

Understanding the inter-site distance effect in single-atom catalysts for oxygen electroreduction

Zhaoyu Jin et al.

Summary: Regulating the site density of single-atom catalysts can significantly improve electrocatalysis performance, such as the oxygen reduction reaction. Strong interactions between adjacent Fe-N-4 moieties can enhance intrinsic ORR activity, with a marked improvement continuing until neighbouring Fe atoms approach as close as about 0.7 nm. Identifying the fundamental mechanism of the inter-site distance effect in Fe-N-4 catalysts may maximize the potential of densely populated SACs.

Highly Selective Two-Electron Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction on Single-Atom Cu Catalysts

Chaochen Xu et al.

Summary: Cu-based electrocatalysts with high catalytic selectivity for the CO2 reduction reaction are a significant technological challenge. A Cu single atom catalyst, Cu-N-4-NG, has been developed for the selective electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO, achieving an 80.6% Faradaic efficiency under moderate applied potential. The single-atom structure and coordination environment, along with moiety-anchoring graphene, contribute to the high selectivity and efficiency of CO production on Cu-N-4-NG compared to bulk Cu catalysts.

Single-Atom Materials: Small Structures Determine Macroproperties

Jiarui Yang et al.

Summary: Single-atom materials (SAMs) have been widely studied in various fields, and their high performance is largely attributed to the microstructure inside the SAM. Achieving the goal of regulating structures and understanding the relationship between macroproperties and small structures are essential but require further efforts in this field.
