Unraveling the dual defect sites in graphite carbon nitride for ultra-high photocatalytic H2O2 evolution

Xu Zhang et al.

Summary: Defect engineering modified graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with dual defect sites, -C N groups and N vacancies, has been found to significantly enhance the photocatalytic production of H2O2. The dual defect sites form an electron-rich structure and lead to a more localized charge density distribution, which improves light absorption, carrier separation, selectivity, and activity of H2O2 generation. The N vacancies effectively adsorb and activate O-2, while the -C N groups facilitate the adsorption of H+, synergistically promoting H2O2 generation. The modified g-C3N4 achieved a high H2O2 generation rate and apparent quantum efficiency, surpassing previously reported g-C3N4-based photocatalysts.

Selectively anchoring single atoms on specific sites of supports for improved oxygen evolution

Zhirong Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of different anchoring sites on the oxygen-evolving electrocatalysis by selectively anchoring iridium single atoms onto different positions on a defective CoOOH surface. The results show that the electronic interaction between the single-atom iridium and the support modifies the electronic structure of the active center in Ir-1/T-O-CoOOH, while a hydrogen bonding stabilizes the intermediates and lowers the energy barrier in Ir-1/V-O-CoOOH. This indicates that the homogeneity of single-atom catalysts is not only determined by their structures, but also by the localized coordination environments.

Tailoring Acidic Oxygen Reduction Selectivity on Single-Atom Catalysts via Modification of First and Second Coordination Spheres

Cheng Tang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the molecular-level local structure, including first and second coordination spheres, plays a critical role in determining the selectivity of catalytic reactions. By modifying the first and second coordination spheres of Co-SACs, it is possible to tailor the oxygen reduction reaction selectivity. The unique selectivity change originates from the structure-dependent shift of active sites, leading to improved activity and selectivity for acidic H2O2 electrosynthesis.

Unraveling the Origin of Sulfur-Doped Fe-N-C Single-Atom Catalyst for Enhanced Oxygen Reduction Activity: Effect of Iron Spin-State Tuning

Zhaoyang Chen et al.

Summary: In this study, sulfur-doped Fe-1-NC catalyst was found to exhibit superior activity towards ORR compared to traditional Fe-NC materials. The incorporation of sulfur in the second coordination sphere of Fe-1-NC was shown to induce a transition of spin polarization configuration, with the low spin single-Fe3+-atom identified as the active site for ORR through operando Fe-57 Mossbauer spectra. Additionally, DFT calculations revealed that the lower spin state of the Fe center after sulfur doping promotes the OH* desorption process.

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.
