Efficient and low-cost transition metal single-atom catalysts (TMSACs) for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) have been recognized as research hotspots recently with advances in delivering good catalytic activity without noble metals. However, the high-cost complex preparation of TMSACs insufficient stability limited their practical applications. Herein, a simple top-down pyrolysis approach to obtain P-modified Co SACs loaded on crosslinked defect-rich carbon nanosheets was introduced alkaline evolution, where atoms are locally confined before prevent aggregation. Thereby, abundant defects unsaturated coordination formed during significantly improved monatomic structure reduced barrier. Furthermore, synergy between cobalt phosphorus established optimize decomposition process water molecules, which delivers key promoting slow kinetics HER. As result, SAC exhibited excellent HER, overpotentials 70 mV 192 at current densities -10 mA cm-2 -100 cm-2, respectively.

Abstract Modulating the surface and spatial structure of host is associated with reactivity active site, also enhances mass transfer effect CO 2 electroreduction process (CO RR). Herein, we describe development two‐step ligand etch–pyrolysis to access an asymmetric dual‐atomic‐site catalyst (DASC) composed a yolk–shell carbon framework (Zn 1 Mn ‐SNC) derived from S,N‐coordinated Zn−Mn dimers anchored on metal–organic (MOF). In Zn ‐SNC, electronic effects S/N−Zn−Mn−S/N configuration are tailored by strong interactions between dual sites co‐coordination S/N atoms, rendering structural stability atomic distribution. H‐cell, ‐SNC DASC shows low onset overpotential 50 mV high Faraday efficiency 97 % applied 343 mV, thus outperforming counterparts, in flow cell, it reaches current density 500 mA cm −2 at −0.85 V, benefitting accessibility sites. DFT simulations showed that diatomic site optimal adsorption strength COOH* lowers reaction energy barrier, boosting intrinsic RR activity DASC. The structure‐property correlation found this study suggests new ideas for highly accessible catalysts.

Electrochemical Carbon Dioxide Reduction to Ethylene: From Mechanistic Understanding to Catalyst Surface Engineering

Nano-Micro Letters, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 15(1)

Опубликована: Июль 11, 2023

Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) provides a promising way to convert CO2 chemicals. The multicarbon (C2+) products, especially ethylene, are of great interest due their versatile industrial applications. However, selectively reducing ethylene is still challenging as the additional energy required for C-C coupling step results in large overpotential and many competing products. Nonetheless, mechanistic understanding key steps preferred pathways/conditions, well rational design novel catalysts production have been regarded approaches achieving highly efficient selective CO2RR. In this review, we first illustrate CO2RR (e.g., adsorption/activation, formation *CO intermediate, step), offering conversion ethylene. Then alternative pathways conditions competitive products (C1 other C2+ products) investigated, guiding further development generation. Engineering strategies Cu-based CO2RR-ethylene summarized, correlations mechanism/pathways, engineering selectivity elaborated. Finally, major challenges perspectives research area proposed future practical
