Electrochemical Detection of Isolated Nanoscale Defects in 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Marc Brunet Cabre et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that defects at nanometer and sub-nanometer scales in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides can be detected electrochemically using scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM).

Tracking heterogeneous structural motifs and the redox behaviour of copper-zinc nanocatalysts for the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction using operando time resolved spectroscopy and machine learning

Martina Ruescher et al.

Summary: Copper-based catalysts are widely used for the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to convert CO2 into valuable industrial chemicals. Bimetallic materials, such as ZnO/Cu2O nanocubes, show promising catalytic performance for CO2RR. In this study, operando spectroscopy and data analysis were used to investigate the chemical and structural changes of the catalysts under CO2RR conditions. It was found that the addition of Zn affects the kinetics of subsurface processes, while the Cu surface layer remains unchanged. The presence of Zn stabilizes cationic Cu(i) species and increases the selectivity towards C2+ products, while Zn-rich alloy phases promote the formation of CO and the parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction.

High Spatial Resolution Electrochemical Microscopic Observation of Enhanced Charging under Bias at Active Sites of N-rGO

Rong Jin et al.

Summary: The recent breakthrough demonstrates that the activation free energy decreases with the oxidative charge stored at the catalyst, shedding light on the balance between chemistry and bias in electrocatalysis.

Summary: The commonly used Ag/AgCl wire quasi-reference counter electrode in the quantitative scanning micropipette contact method may leak Ag+ into the electrolyte solution, leading to interference in potential and generation of faradaic current. By using a leak-free Ag/AgCl electrode or increasing the distance between the electrode and micropipette tip droplet, the contamination of Ag+ can be eliminated, allowing accurate measurement of corrosion potentials during oil-immersed scanning micropipette contact method measurements.

In-situ detection of active sites for carbon-based bifunctional oxygen reduction and evolution catalysis

Summary: Carbon-based electrodes are increasingly popular as electrocatalysts for fuel cells and metal-air batteries due to their availability and versatility. This study investigated the surface behavior of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite under both ORR and OER conditions in 0.1 M KOH. By using noise analysis in electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy, active sites were monitored and compared with nanoscale resolution. The results showed that step sites and defects are active for both ORR and OER, while terraces sites are largely inactive and only become involved in the OER at higher potentials. Surface degradation was evaluated during the operation, with no clear evidence of surface destruction observed in the experiments.
