Modulating O-H Activation of Methanol Oxidation on Nickel-Organic Frameworks for Overall CO2 Electrolysis

Yansong Zhou et al.

Summary: In this study, partially pyrolyzed nickel-organic frameworks were used to efficiently oxidize methanol at the anode. Experimental and theoretical results showed that partial deligandation maintained the porous skeleton and allowed for more accessible nickel sites, leading to selective and efficient formate electrosynthesis. The overall electrolysis system reduced energy consumption by 23% at 200 mA cm(-2) in a flow cell, and further improvements were achieved in a zero-gap membrane electrode assembly device with a processing capacity of approximately 500 mA cm(-2) at 2.4 V. This work provides valuable insights for designing advanced electrocatalysts and electrolyzer configurations for decarbonization and high energy efficiency.

Interlayer Charge Transfer Regulates Single-Atom Catalytic Activity on Electride/Graphene 2D Heterojunctions

Wei Li et al.

Summary: In this study, single-atom catalysis on two-dimensional graphene and electride heterostructures was investigated using first-principles calculations. The electron gas in the electride layer facilitated a significant transfer of electrons to the graphene layer, which could be controlled by the choice of electride. The charge transfer effectively modified the d-orbital electron occupancy of a single metal atom, leading to enhanced catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution and oxygen reduction reactions. The strong correlation between adsorption energy and charge transfer suggested that interfacial charge transfer is a crucial catalytic descriptor for heterostructure-based catalysts. The polynomial regression model demonstrated the importance of charge transfer and accurately predicted the adsorption energy of ions and molecules. This study offers a strategy for obtaining high-efficiency single-atom catalysts using two-dimensional heterostructures.
