Cation-Vacancy-Enriched Nickel Phosphide for Efficient Electrosynthesis of Hydrogen Peroxides

Zheng Zhou et al.

Summary: Electrocatalytic hydrogen peroxide synthesis via two-electron oxygen reduction reaction pathway is becoming increasingly important due to its green production process. Introducing cationic vacancies on nickel phosphide as a proof-of-concept to regulate the catalyst's properties has led to efficient H2O2 electrosynthesis. The created Ni cationic vacancies enriched Ni2-xP-V-Ni electrocatalyst exhibits remarkable 2e ORR performance and long-term durability, with optimized geometric and electronic structures. Cation vacancy engineering is believed to be an effective strategy for creating active heterogeneous catalysts with atomic precision.

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.

Regulating electron transfer over asymmetric low-spin Co(II) for highly selective electrocatalysis

Kuang-Hsu Wu et al.

Summary: Modulating the steric-electronic configuration of metal-organic centers is key for tuning the activity and selectivity of heterogeneous reactions. In this study, three different asymmetric metal-organic complexes with unique steric-electronic structures are immobilized on nanocarbon for an electron-transfer-controlled oxygen reduction reaction. The results show that acidic diamine ligands facilitate a four-electron transfer, while basic ligands drive a highly selective two-electron route, regulated by the ligand's proton transfer ability.

Unveiling the active sites of ultrathin Co-Fe layered double hydroxides for the oxygen evolution reaction

Xue Bai et al.

Summary: This study presents a facile method for synthesizing ultrathin CoFe-based LDHs and reveals their high performance in OER. The Co site is identified as the main active center, and the doping of Fe accelerates the charge-transfer process. Surface Co sites are found to be the active centers for OER, while excessive subsurface Fe doping weakens OH* adsorption and increases the energy barrier of the rate-determining step.
