Potential-Driven Restructuring of Cu Single Atoms to Nanoparticles for Boosting the Electrochemical Reduction of Nitrate to Ammonia

Ji Yang et al.

Summary: This study reveals the restructuring of the as-synthesized Cu-N4 single-atom site to nanoparticles during the electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia. The restructuring and the enhancement of the ammonia production rate occur concurrently with the applied potential switching. The Cu nanoparticles are found to be the genuine active sites for nitrate reduction to ammonia.

Identification of the Highly Active Co-N4 Coordination Motif for Selective Oxygen Reduction to Hydrogen Peroxide

Shanyong Chen et al.

Summary: The research reveals that pyrrole-type CoN4 and pyridine-type CoN4 are responsible for 2e- ORR and 4e- ORR reactions, respectively. Pyrrole-type CoN4 catalyst exhibits excellent H2O2 selectivity and yield in acid media. This study is significant for understanding the structure-function relationship of Co-N4 single-atom catalysts and improving H2O2 production.

Does the Encapsulation Strategy of Pt Nanoparticles with Carbon Layers Really Ensure Both Highly Active and Durable Electrocatalysis in Fuel Cells?

Sang Gu Ji et al.

Summary: Platinum is an essential component of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and recent studies have shown that encapsulation of platinum nanoparticles with thin carbon or silica layers can improve their durability. However, it has been found that site-blocked Pt nanoparticles exhibit unexpectedly similar or even better catalytic activity, raising questions about the nature of their catalytic sites and the origin of their prolonged durability.

Identification of durable and non-durable FeNx sites in Fe-N-C materials for proton exchange membrane fuel cells

Jingkun Li et al.

Summary: Fe-N-C materials show promise as an alternative to platinum in acidic polymer fuel cells, but limited understanding of their operando degradation hinders rational approaches to improved durability. Two distinct FeNx sites in the catalysts degrade differently during the oxygen reduction reaction, with one site substantially contributing after 50 hours of operation.

Substrate strain tunes operando geometric distortion and oxygen reduction activity of CuN2C2 single-atom sites

Guokang Han et al.

Summary: The rational design of single-atom catalysts is challenging. This work reveals a substrate-strain tuned geometry distortion of CuN2C2 single-atom site, which greatly boosts oxygen reduction activity by facilitating electron transfer to adsorbed O.

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.

Reversible Ligand Exchange in Atomically Dispersed Catalysts for Modulating the Activity and Selectivity of the Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Jae Hyung Kim et al.

Summary: Reversible control of the coordination structure in atomically dispersed electrocatalysts can be achieved via ligand exchange reactions to modulate their reactivity for oxygen reduction reaction. The CO-ligated Rh catalyst shows higher ORR activity, while the NHx-ligated catalyst exhibits higher H2O2 selectivity. This reversible ligand exchange strategy is applicable to Ir- and Pt-based catalysts as well.

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.
