Highly active electrocatalysts of iron phthalocyanine by MOFs for oxygen reduction reaction under alkaline solution.

Project description:Metal-nitrogen-carbon materials (Fe-N/C) have been extensively studied as one of the most excellent electrocatalysts with good catalytic activities and cheap price towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The rational design of metal-organic framework (MOF) derived carbon materials with rapid mass transport ability and good stability is a great challenge to achieve. Herein, intensive research of Fe-N/C catalysts prepared from assembling MOFs with cheap iron phthalocyanine (FePc) for the ORR is innovatively carried out. A series of Fe-N/C nano-architectures are simply synthesized by a convenient assembling method under different temperatures (800 to 1000 °C). The assembly method at high temperatures tunes the number of FeN x active sites and intensifies the exposure of interior active sites. The highly dispersing Fe20-N/C electrocatalyst treated at 900 °C exhibits remarkable stability and excellent ORR activities with a half-wave potential of 0.866 V (vs. RHE) in alkaline solution, which is higher than that of commercial Pt/C (0.838 V vs. RHE) under the same test conditions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results illustrate that incorporated MOFs interact with the active centre of FePc, tend to enhance the electron transition and to promote the kinetics of the ORR. Overall, highly dispersed Fe-N/C MOF-based materials are excellent non-precious metal electrocatalysts for energy and environmental applications.

Turning main-group element magnesium into a highly active electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction.

Project description:It is known that the main-group metals and their related materials show poor catalytic activity due to a broadened single resonance derived from the interaction of valence orbitals of adsorbates with the broad sp-band of main-group metals. However, Mg cofactors existing in enzymes are extremely active in biochemical reactions. Our density function theory calculations reveal that the catalytic activity of the main-group metals (Mg, Al and Ca) in oxygen reduction reaction is severely hampered by the tight-bonding of active centers with hydroxyl group intermediate, while the Mg atom coordinated to two nitrogen atoms has the near-optimal adsorption strength with intermediate oxygen species by the rise of p-band center position compared to other coordination environments. We experimentally demonstrate that the atomically dispersed Mg cofactors incorporated within graphene framework exhibits a strikingly high half-wave potential of 910 mV in alkaline media, turning a s/p-band metal into a highly active electrocatalyst.

Intrinsic poorly-crystallized Fe5O7(OH)·4H2O: a highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalyst under alkaline conditions.

Project description:As the bottleneck of electrochemical overall water splitting, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) needs efficient catalysts to lower the required overpotential. Electrocatalysts with an amorphous form are highly active but suffer with low structural stability. Poorly crystallized materials with activity like amorphous forms, while maintaining the mechanical robustness of crystalline forms, are expected to be ideal materials. Towards this direction, we, for the first time, developed low-crystalline Fe5O7(OH)·4H2O as an excellent OER electrocatalyst with an overpotential of 269 mV, in order to drive a current density of 100 mA cm-2 in a 1.0 M KOH environment, and this outperforms most of the reported Fe-based electrocatalysts. Notably, its activity can be maintained for at least 100 hours. A one-pot synthesis for the poorly-crystallized material using one of the most abundant metal elements to obtain effective OER catalysis will provide great convenience in practical applications.

VO2 as a Highly Efficient Electrocatalyst for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Herein, we report high electrocatalytic activity of monoclinic VO2 (M1 phase) for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for the first time. The single-phase VO2 (M1) nanoparticles are prepared in the form of uniformly covering the surface of individual carbon fibers constituting a carbon fiber paper (CFP). The VO2 nanoparticles reveal the metal-insulator phase transition at ca. 65 °C (heating) and 62 °C (cooling) with low thermal hysteresis, indicating a high concentration of structural defect which is considered a grain boundary among VO2 nanoparticles with some particle coalescence. Consequently, the VO2/CFP shows a high electrocatalytic OER activity with the lowest η10 (350 mV) and Tafel slope (46 mV/dec) values in a 1 M aqueous solution of KOH as compared to those of the vacuum annealed V2O5 and the hydrothermally grown VO2 (M1), α-V2O5, and γ'-V2O5. The catalytically active site is considered V4+ components and V4+/5+ redox couples in VO2. The oxidation state of V4+ is revealed to be more favorable to the OER catalysis compared to that of V5+ in vanadium oxide through comparative studies. Furthermore, the amount of V5+ component is found to be increased on the surface of VO2 catalyst during the OER, giving rise to the performance degradation. This work suggests V4+ and its redox couple as a novel active component for the OER in metal-oxide electrocatalysts.

Boosting oxygen evolution reaction by FeNi hydroxide-organic framework electrocatalyst toward alkaline water electrolyzer.

Project description:The oxygen evolution reaction plays a vital role in modern energy conversion and storage, and developing cost-efficient oxygen evolution reaction catalysts with industrially relevant activity and durability is highly desired but still challenging. Here, we report an efficient and durable FeNi hydroxide organic framework nanosheet array catalyst that competently affords long-term oxygen evolution reaction at industrial-grade current densities in alkaline electrolyte. The desirable high-intensity performance is attributed to three aspects as follows. First, two-dimensional nanosheet porous arrays with maximum specific surface facilitate mass/charge transfer to accommodate high-current-density catalysis. Second, in situ derived FeNi hydroxide motifs offer bimetallic synergistic catalysis centers with high intrinsic activity. Third, carboxyl ligands alleviate metal oxidation favorable for charge tolerability against peroxidation dissolution under strong polarization. As a result, this catalyst requires an overpotential of only 280 mV to deliver high current density up to 1 A/cm2 with long durability over 1000 h. Moreover, an alkaline water electrolyzer with this catalyst alternative demonstrates an increased economic effectiveness compared to commercial levels at present.

Cobalt Nanoparticles Embedded into N-Doped Carbon from Metal Organic Frameworks as Highly Active Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Cystosepiment-like cobalt nanoparticles@N-doped carbon composite named Co-NPs@NC with highly efficient electrocatalytic performance for oxygen evolution reaction was prepared from carbonization of N-doped Co-MOFs. The optimized Co-NPs@NC-600 shows overpotentials of 315 mV to afford a current density of 10 mA·cm-2. Meanwhile, the electrocatalys presents excellent long-term durability. The outstanding electrocatalytic performance can be attributed to the unique cystosepiment-like architecture with high specific surface area (214 m2/g), high conductivity of N-doped carbon and well-distributed active sites.

Shape controlled synthesis of porous tetrametallic PtAgBiCo nanoplates as highly active and methanol-tolerant electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction.

Project description:Mechanistic control is a powerful means for manufacturing specific shapes of metal nanostructures and optimizing their performance in a variety of applications. Thus, we successfully synthesized multimetallic nanoplates (PtAgBiCo and PtAgBi) by combining the concepts of crystal symmetry, oxidative etching and seed ratio, and tuned their activity, stability and methanol tolerance, as well as Pt utilization, for the oxygen reduction reaction in direct methanol fuel cells. Systematic studies reveal that the formation of PtAgBiCo triangular nanoplates with a high morphological yield (>90%) can be achieved by crystallinity alteration, while electrochemical measurements indicate that the PtAgBiCo nanoplates have superior electrocatalytic activity towards the oxygen reduction reaction. The specific and mass activity of the PtAgBiCo nanoplates are 8 and 5 times greater than that of the commercial Pt/C catalyst, respectively. In addition, the tetrametallic PtAgBiCo nanoplates exhibit a more positive half-wave potential for the oxygen reduction reaction and possess an excellent methanol tolerance limit compared with the commercial Pt/C catalyst.

Inexpensive Ipomoea aquatica Biomass-Modified Carbon Black as an Active Pt-Free Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Reduction Reaction in an Alkaline Medium.

Project description:The development of inexpensive and active Pt-free catalysts as an alternative to Pt-based catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an essential prerequisite for fuel cell commercialization. In this paper, we report a strategy for the design of a new Fe-N/C electrocatalyst derived from the co-pyrolysis of Ipomoea aquatica biomass, carbon black (Vulcan XC-72R) and FeCl₃·6H₂O at 900 °C under nitrogen atmosphere. Electrochemical results show that the Fe-N/C catalyst exhibits higher electrocatalytic activity for ORR, longer durability and higher tolerance to methanol compared to a commercial Pt/C catalyst (40 wt %) in an alkaline medium. In particular, Fe-N/C presents an onset potential of 0.05 V (vs. Hg/HgO) for ORR in an alkaline medium, with an electron transfer number (n) of ~3.90, which is close to that of Pt/C. Our results confirm that the catalyst derived from I. aquatica and carbon black is a promising non-noble metal catalyst as an alternative to commercial Pt/C catalysts.

Highly Active and Stable Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution Electrocatalyst Based on Ir-Incorporated Partially Oxidized Ru Aerogel under Industrial-Level Current Density.

Project description:The realization of large-scale industrial application of alkaline water electrolysis for hydrogen generation is severely hampered by the cost of electricity. Therefore, it is currently necessary to synthesize highly efficient electrocatalysts with excellent stability and low overpotential under an industrial-level current density. Herein, Ir-incorporated in partially oxidized Ru aerogel has been designed and synthesized via a simple in situ reduction strategy and subsequent oxidation process. The electrochemical measurements demonstrate that the optimized Ru98 Ir2 -350 electrocatalyst exhibits outstanding hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance in an alkaline environment (1 M KOH). Especially, at the large current density of 1000 mA cm-2 , the overpotential is as low as 121 mV, far exceeding the benchmark Pt/C catalyst. Moreover, the Ru98 Ir2 -350 catalyst also displays excellent stability over 1500 h at 1000 mA cm-2 , denoting its industrial applicability. This work provides an efficient route for developing highly active and ultra-stable electrocatalysts for hydrogen generation under industrial-level current density.

Amorphous Cobalt Vanadium Oxide as a Highly Active Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Evolution.

Project description:The water-splitting reaction provides a promising mechanism to store renewable energies in the form of hydrogen fuel. The oxidation half-reaction, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), is a complex four-electron process that constitutes an efficiency bottleneck in water splitting. Here we report a highly active OER catalyst, cobalt vanadium oxide. The catalyst is designed on the basis of a volcano plot of metal-OH bond strength and activity. The catalyst can be synthesized by a facile hydrothermal route. The most active pure-phase material (a-CoVO x ) is X-ray amorphous and provides a 10 mA cm-2 current density at an overpotential of 347 mV in 1 M KOH electrolyte when immobilized on a flat substrate. The synthetic method can also be applied to coat a high-surface-area substrate such as nickel foam. On this three-dimensional substrate, the a-CoVO x catalyst is highly active, reaching 10 mA cm-2 at 254 mV overpotential, with a Tafel slope of only 35 mV dec-1. This work demonstrates a-CoVO x as a promising electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution and validates M-OH bond strength as a practical descriptor in OER catalysis.
