Investigation of the evolution of Pd-Pt supported on ceria for dry and wet methane oxidation

Nuria J. Divins et al.

Summary: The authors demonstrate that mechanically prepared Pd-Pt supported on ceria catalysts can effectively abate methane, even under wet conditions. By applying a toolkit of in situ synchrotron techniques, they show that the synthesis method greatly influences the interaction and structure at the nanoscale. They also find that the unique structures attained by milling are key for the catalytic activity and correlate with higher methane conversion and longer stability in the wet feed.

Nitrogen reduction to ammonia at high efficiency and rates based on a phosphonium proton shuttle

Bryan H. R. Suryanto et al.

Summary: Ammonia (NH3) is a globally important commodity for fertilizer production, but its synthesis by the Haber-Bosch process causes substantial emissions of carbon dioxide. Alternative methods being explored include the promising electrochemical lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction reaction, which has required sacrificial sources of protons. In this study, a phosphonium salt is introduced as a proton shuttle to help resolve this limitation, resulting in high NH3 production rates and demonstrated continuous operation for more than 3 days.

A high-energy-density and long-life initial-anode-free lithium battery enabled by a Li2O sacrificial agent

Yu Qiao et al.

Summary: Anode-free batteries are promising for high-energy applications, but face challenges with cycling stability due to limited lithium sources. In this study, researchers preloaded Li2O onto the cathode of an initial-anode-free cell to provide additional lithium for offsetting irreversible lithium loss during long-term cycling. By utilizing O-2(-) species released through Li2O oxidation and a fluorinated ether additive, a LiF-based layer was constructed at the cathode/electrolyte interface to passivate the cathode surface and inhibit the detrimental oxidative decomposition of ether solvents. As a result, a long-life 2.46 Ah initial-anode-free pouch cell with a gravimetric energy density of 320 Wh kg(-1) was achieved, maintaining 80% capacity after 300 cycles.

Electrochemistry-Assisted Photoelectrochemical Reduction of Nitrogen to Ammonia

Jianyun Zheng et al.

Summary: This study presents a simple and effective electrochemistry-assisted strategy to enhance the PEC fixation of N-2 to NH3, achieving high NH3 yield rate and conversion efficiency. By using a steel-based cathode-assisted Au/SiO2/Si photocathode, it seamlessly combines two critical reaction steps-N-2 activation and hydrogenation-to realize reliable production of NH3 by the PEC NRR. An operando characterization and a theoretical calculation reveal the active sites and reaction mechanism of the whole system for an electrochemistry-assisted PEC NRR, demonstrating its capability and introducing a new design concept for addressing challenges in photoelectrochemical and other chemical fields.
