A Review of In-Situ Techniques for Probing Active Sites and Mechanisms of Electrocatalytic Oxygen Reduction Reactions

Jinyu Zhao et al.

Summary: Electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is crucial for electrochemical energy technologies. However, the identification of ORR active sites and the elucidation of ORR mechanisms are challenging due to the complex dynamic evolution of catalysts and intermediates. In-situ characterization techniques are necessary for real-time monitoring of catalyst structure, intermediate behavior, and product evolution. This review highlights the advances in using various in-situ techniques to study catalytic processes, including catalyst structure evolutions, intermediate adsorption/desorption behavior, and product nucleation and reconstruction. Challenges and prospects of in-situ techniques for future catalysts research in the ORR process are also discussed.

Structural Regulation of Metal Organic Framework-derived Hollow Carbon Nanocages and Their Lithium-Sulfur Battery Performance

He Jiawei et al.

Summary: Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted research interest due to their high theoretical specific capacity, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, limitations such as low sulfur utilization, shuttle effects, and polarization effects hinder their practical application. This study investigates the use of hollow carbon nanocages as hosts for sulfur encapsulation to address these issues. The results show that a specific hollow carbon nanocage derived from ZIF8@ZIF67@ZIF8 exhibits the best electrochemical performance, with high specific capacity and improved durability. The unique structure and composition of the nanocage contribute to the enhanced performance by improving conductivity and providing a large surface area for sulfur filling and catalytic conversion. This study highlights the potential of using novel carbon nanocage hosts based on metal organic framework precursors to improve the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries.
