Ag Anchored Atomically Around Nanopores of Porous Co(OH)2 for Efficient Bifunctional Oxygen Catalysis

Zhe Li et al.

Summary: In this study, a composite oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)/oxygen evolution reaction (OER) bifunctional catalyst (P-Ag-Co(OH)(2)) was synthesized through a two-step strategy. The catalyst consists of atomic Ag anchored in reactive oxygen atoms around nanopores of Co(OH)(2) nanosheets. The abundant nanopores provide sufficient gas molecular diffusion channels, and the special Ag-O-Co-OH catalytic groups around nanopores display high intrinsic catalytic activity, leading to excellent ORR/OER performance. The P-Ag-Co(OH)(2) catalyst exhibits a high half-wave potential for ORR and a low overpotential for OER, surpassing non-noble catalysts and Pt/C (Ir/C) catalysts in previous studies. Additionally, a single-cell zinc-air battery based on this catalyst demonstrates an extremely high discharge peak power density and excellent discharge-charge cycle stability.

Hetero-Anionic Structure Activated Co-S Bonds Promote Oxygen Electrocatalytic Activity for High-Efficiency Zinc-Air Batteries

Jingjing Cai et al.

Summary: The electronic structure of transition metal complexes can be modulated by replacing partial ions, which can lead to tuned electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the ORR activity of anion-modulated transition metal complexes is still unsatisfactory and it remains challenging to construct hetero-anionic structures. In this study, atomic doping strategy was used to prepare CuCo2O4-xSx/NC-2 (CCSO/NC-2) electrocatalysts, which showed excellent catalytic performance and durability for ORR and OER due to the partial substitution of S atoms for O in CCSO/NC-2. The introduction of S optimized the reaction kinetics and promoted electron redistribution.

Band Gap Narrowing in a High-Entropy Spinel Oxide Semiconductor for Enhanced Oxygen Evolution Catalysis

Rowan R. Katzbaer et al.

Summary: High-entropy oxides (HEOs) with randomly mixed metal cations in a crystalline oxide lattice exhibit unique properties, including band gap narrowing in a high-entropy aluminate spinel oxide. The band gap narrowing arises from the broadening of the energy distribution of the 3d states due to variations in electronegativities and crystal field splitting. As a catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction, high-entropy oxide A5Al2O4 outperforms single-metal end members but suffers from catalyst deactivation due to the formation of a passivating layer.

High-Valence Oxides for High Performance Oxygen Evolution Electrocatalysis

Hao Wang et al.

Summary: Valence tuning of transition metal oxides is an effective approach to design high-performance catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). High-valence oxides (HVOs) exhibit superior OER performance due to charge transfer dynamics and the evolution of intermediates. The filling of e(g)-orbitals and the promotion of charge transfer between the metal d band and oxygen p band enhance the OER performance. Additionally, HVOs utilize lattice oxygen as the redox center in the efficient lattice oxygen-mediated mechanism (LOM), overcoming the scaling limitation of the adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM).

Summary: The incorporation of Fe ions into Ni (hydr)oxides greatly enhances their activity for the electrochemical evolution of oxygen. Researchers have used a combination of electrochemical cell and transmission electron microscopy to observe the surface restructuring and formation of NiFe layered double (oxy)hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) under applied potential. They found that continued oxygen evolution leads to the formation of additional FeOx aggregates, which results in a decrease in the catalytic activity. The researchers also used various spectroscopic techniques to gain further insights into the catalyst composition, structure, and chemical state.
