Head-on impact of metal microparticles: Aggregation or separation?

Jianqiao Hu et al.

Summary: In particle collisions at the micro size level, adhesion becomes more important as the particle size decreases, while increased surface effects cause particles to prefer aggregation. On the other hand, as the impact velocity increases, particles tend to separate due to larger elastic repulsive interactions. Another factor that cannot be ignored during the collision of metal microparticles is dislocation plasticity, which exhibits rate and size effects. Taking into account nano-plasticity behavior, molecular simulations in this study revealed two critical impact velocities for the transition from particle separation to aggregation, which were quantified by proposed analytical models. The low critical velocity for particle aggregation is dominated by adhesion, while the high critical velocity for aggregation is dominated by dislocation plasticity, where the dislocation density in the particle after the collision is proportional to the impact velocity. With these findings, an analytical model was proposed to determine the critical particle size, below which no separation will be found regardless of the impact velocity. This critical size is proportional to the ratio of surface energy to stacking fault energy.

Elucidating the Formation and Structural Evolution of Platinum Single-Site Catalysts for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Peng Tang et al.

Summary: This work presents a mechanistic study of platinum single-site catalysts using operando synchrotron-X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The results reveal the evolution of the bonding environment of platinum during operation. It is found that under a negatively biased potential, the Pt-N bonds break first, followed by the Pt-Cl bonds. The platinum is reduced to metallic platinum by the onset of the hydrogen-evolution reaction, and platinum agglomerates are formed. This study provides important insights into the deactivation mechanism of platinum single-site catalysts over time.

Electronic Structure Engineering of Single-Atom Ru Sites via Co-N4 Sites for Bifunctional pH-Universal Water Splitting

Chengli Rong et al.

Summary: The development of bifunctional water-splitting electrocatalysts that are efficient and stable over a wide range of pH is crucial but challenging. This study reports an atomically dispersed Ru/Co dual-sites catalyst anchored on N-doped carbon (Ru/Co-N-C) for excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes. The catalyst shows superior performance compared to benchmark catalysts Pt/C and RuO2, with low overpotentials and high current densities. Theoretical calculations and experimental results demonstrate that the introduction of Co-N4 sites into Ru/Co-N-C modifies the electronic structure of Ru and enhances the bonding strength with oxygen/hydrogen intermediate species, leading to improved OER and HER performance. Furthermore, the incorporation of Co-N4 sites improves the corrosion-resistance of Ru/Co-N-C during electrolysis. The Ru/Co-N-C catalyst has been successfully applied in a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer and shows stable operation at a high current density.
