A Heterogenized Copper Phenanthroline System to Catalyze the Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

ABSTRACT: Upon the electrochemical reduction of an in situ generated 5-diazo-1,10-phenanthroline ion, phenanthroline was covalently attached to a gold electrode. The grafted molecules act as a ligand when brought in contact with a copper-containing electrolyte solution. As the ligands are limited in spatial movement, the exclusive formation of the active species with only one phenanthroline ligand coordinated was expected. The in situ generated complexes have been investigated for activity in the oxygen reduction reaction, for which an overpotential of 800 mV is observed. During catalysis, initially a thick copper layer is formed on top of an organic layer that is still present on the gold surface. Upon deterioration of the organic layer underneath the copper over time, the amount of copper on the electrode and thereby the electrocatalytic activity decreases.

Symmetry Breaking in Rationally Designed Copper Oxide Electrocatalyst Boosts the Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics is critically dependent on the precise modulation of the interactions between the key oxygen intermediates and catalytic active sites. Herein, a novel electrocatalyst is reported, featuring nitrogen-doped carbon-supported ultra-small copper oxide nanoparticles with the broken-symmetry C4v coordination filed sites, achieved by a mild γ-ray radiation-induced method. The as-synthesized catalyst exhibits an excellent ORR activity with a half-wave potential of 0.873 V and shows no obvious decay over 50 h durability in alkaline solution. This superior catalytic activity is further corroborated by the high-performance in both primary and rechargeable Zn-air batteries with an ultrahigh-peak-power density (255.4 mW cm-2) and robust cycling stability. The experimental characterizations and density functional theory calculations show that the surface Cu atoms are configured in a compressed octahedron coordination. This geometric arrangement interacts with the key intermediate OH*, facilitating localized charge transfer and thereby weakening the Cu─O bond, which promotes the efficient transformation of OH* to OH- and the subsequent desorption, and markedly accelerates kinetics of the rate-determining step in the reaction. This study provides new insights for developing the utilization of γ-ray radiation chemistry to construct high-performance metal oxide-based catalysts with broken symmetry toward ORR.

Rational design of heterogenized molecular phthalocyanine hybrid single-atom electrocatalyst towards two-electron oxygen reduction.

Project description:Single-atom catalysts supported on solid substrates have inspired extensive interest, but the rational design of high-efficiency single-atom catalysts is still plagued by ambiguous structure determination of active sites and its local support effect. Here, we report hybrid single-atom catalysts by an axial coordination linkage of molecular cobalt phthalocyanine with carbon nanotubes for selective oxygen reduction reaction by screening from a series of metal phthalocyanines via preferential density-functional theory calculations. Different from conventional heterogeneous single-atom catalysts, the hybrid single-atom catalysts are proven to facilitate rational screening of target catalysts as well as understanding of its underlying oxygen reduction reaction mechanism due to its well-defined active site structure and clear coordination linkage in the hybrid single-atom catalysts. Consequently, the optimized Co hybrid single-atom catalysts exhibit improved 2e- oxygen reduction reaction performance compared to the corresponding homogeneous molecular catalyst in terms of activity and selectivity. When prepared as an air cathode in an air-breathing flow cell device, the optimized hybrid catalysts enable the oxygen reduction reaction at 300 mA cm-2 exhibiting a stable Faradaic efficiency exceeding 90% for 25 h.

Influence of Ligand Denticity and Flexibility on the Molecular Copper Mediated Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:To date, the copper complex with the tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (tmpa) ligand (Cu-tmpa) catalyzes the ORR with the highest reported turnover frequency (TOF) for any molecular copper catalyst. To gain insight into the importance of the tetradentate nature and high flexibility of the tmpa ligand for efficient four-electron ORR catalysis, the redox and electrocatalytic ORR behavior of the copper complexes of 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (terpy) and bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (bmpa) (Cu-terpy and Cu-bmpa, respectively) were investigated in the present study. With a combination of cyclic voltammetry and rotating ring disk electrode measurements, we demonstrate that the presence of the terpy and bmpa ligands results in a decrease in catalytic ORR activity and an increase in Faradaic efficiency for H2O2 production. The lower catalytic activity is shown to be the result of a stabilization of the CuI state of the complex compared to the earlier reported Cu-tmpa catalyst. This stabilization is most likely caused by the lower electron donating character of the tridentate terpy and bmpa ligands compared to the tetradentate tmpa ligand. The Laviron plots of the redox behavior of Cu-terpy and Cu-bmpa indicated that the formation of the ORR active catalyst involves relatively slow electron transfer kinetics which is caused by the inability of Cu-terpy and Cu-bmpa to form the preferred tetrahedral coordination geometry for a CuI complex easily. Our study illustrates that both the tetradentate nature of the tmpa ligand and the ability of Cu-tmpa to form the preferred tetrahedral coordination geometry for a CuI complex are of utmost importance for ORR catalysis with very high catalytic rates.

Boosting Lattice Oxygen Oxidation of Perovskite to Efficiently Catalyze Oxygen Evolution Reaction by FeOOH Decoration.

Project description:In the process of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on perovskite, it is of great significance to accelerate the hindered lattice oxygen oxidation process to promote the slow kinetics of water oxidation. In this paper, a facile surface modification strategy of nanometer-scale iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) clusters depositing on the surface of LaNiO3 (LNO) perovskite is reported, and it can obviously promote hydroxyl adsorption and weaken Ni-O bond of LNO. The above relevant evidences are well demonstrated by the experimental results and DFT calculations. The excellent hydroxyl adsorption ability of FeOOH-LaNiO3 (Fe-LNO) can obviously optimize OH- filling barriers to promote lattice oxygen-participated OER (LOER), and the weakened Ni-O bond of LNO perovskite can obviously reduce the reaction barrier of the lattice oxygen participation mechanism (LOM). Based on the above synergistic catalysis effect, the Fe-LNO catalyst exhibits a maximum factor of 5 catalytic activity increases for OER relative to the pristine perovskite and demonstrates the fast reaction kinetics (low Tafel slope of 42 mV dec-1) and superior intrinsic activity (TOFs of ~40 O2 S-1 at 1.60 V vs. RHE).

Influence of the spatial distribution of copper sites on the selectivity of the oxygen reduction reaction.

Project description:Moving towards a hydrogen economy raises the demand for affordable and efficient catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction. Cu-bmpa (bmpa = bis(2-picolyl)amine) is shown to have moderate activity, but poor selectivity for the 4-electron reduction of oxygen to water. To enhance the selectivity towards water formation, the cooperative effect of three Cu-bmpa binding sites in a single trinuclear complex is investigated. The catalytic currents in the presence of the trinuclear sites are lower, possibly due to the more rigid structure and therefore higher reorganization energies and/or slower diffusion rates of the catalytic species. Although the oxygen reduction activity of the trinuclear complexes is lower than that of mononuclear Cu-bmpa, the selectivity of the copper mediated oxygen reduction was significantly enhanced towards the 4-electron process due to a cooperative effect between three copper centers that have been positioned in close proximity. These results indicate that the cooperativity between metal ions within biomimetic sites can greatly enhance the ORR selectivity.

A Hybrid Material Combined Copper Oxide with Graphene for an Oxygen Reduction Reaction in an Alkaline Medium.

Project description:In this work, an electrode material based on CuO nanoparticles (NPs)/graphene (G) is developed for ORR in alkaline medium. According to the characterization of scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope, CuO NPs are uniformly distributed on the wrinkled G sheets. The X-ray diffraction test reveals that the phase of CuO is monoclinic. The CuO/G hybrid electrode exhibits a positive onset potential (0.8 V), high cathodic current density (3.79 × 10-5 mA/cm²) and high electron transfer number (four-electron from O₂ to H₂O) for ORR in alkaline media. Compared with commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst, the CuO/G electrode also shows superior fuel durability. The high electrocatalytic activity and durability are attribute to the strong coupling between CuO NPs and G nanosheets.

Cobalt-Based Coordination Polymer for Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:Lack of control over the structure and electrically nonconductive properties of coordination polymers (CPs) creates a major hindrance to designing an active electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Here, we report a new semiconductive and low-optical band gap CP structure [{Co3(μ3-OH)(BTB)2(BPE)2}{Co0.5N(C5H5)}], 1, that exhibits high-performance ORR in alkaline medium. The electrical conductivity of compound 1 was measured using impedance spectroscopy and found to be 5 × 10-4 S cm-1. The Ketjenblack EC-600JD carbon used as a support for all the electrochemical methods such as cyclic voltammetry, rotating disk electrode, rotating ring-disk electrode and Koutecký-Levich analysis. The as-synthesized Co-based catalyst has the ability to reduce O2 to H2O by a nearly four-electron process. The crystal structure of 1 shows that the trimeric unit {Co3(μ3-OH)(COO)5N3} and monomeric unit {Co(COO)2(NC5H4)2}2+ are linked with BTB and BPE linkers to form a three-dimensional structure. Theoretical calculations predict that the monomeric center acts as an active catalytic site for ORR. This could be due to the efficient overlap of highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital between monomer and O2 molecule. This CP, 1, shows facile 3.6-electron ORR, and it is inexpensive compared with widely used Pt catalysts. Therefore, this CP can be used as a promising cathode material for fuel cells in terms of efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Does Coherence Affect the Multielectron Oxygen Reduction Reaction?

Project description:The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is the key for oxygen-based respiration and the operation of fuel cells. It involves the transmission of two pairs of electrons. We probed what type of interaction between the electrons is required to enable their efficient transfer into the oxygen. We show experimentally that the transfer of the electrons is controlled by the "hidden property" and present a theoretical model suggesting that it is related to coherent phase relations between the two electrons. Using spin polarization electrochemical measurements, with electrodes coated with different thicknesses of chiral coating, we confirm the special relation between the electrons. This relation is destroyed by multiple scattering events that result in the formation of hydrogen peroxide, which indicates a reduction in the ORR efficiency. Another indication for the possible role of coherence is the fluctuations in the reaction efficiency as a function of thickness of the chiral coated electrode.

Mononuclear copper complex-catalyzed four-electron reduction of oxygen.

Project description:A mononuclear Cu(II) complex acts as an efficient catalyst for four-electron reduction of O(2) to H(2)O. Its reduction by a ferrocene derivative (Fc*) and reaction with O(2) leads to the formation of a peroxodicopper(II) complex; this is subsequently reduced by Fc* in the presence of protons to regenerate the Cu(II) complex.

Effect of Anesthesia Gases on the Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of high importance, among others, because of its role in cellular respiration and in the operation of fuel cells. Recently, a possible relation between respiration and general anesthesia has been found. This work aims to explore whether anesthesia related gases affect the ORR. In ORR, oxygen which is in its triplet ground state is reduced to form products that are all in the singlet state. While this process is "in principle" forbidden because of spin conservation, it is known that if the electrons transferred in the ORR are spin-polarized, the reaction occurs efficiently. Here we show, in electrochemical experiments, that the efficiency of the oxygen reduction is reduced by the presence of general anesthetics in solution. We suggest that a spin-orbit coupling to the anesthetics depolarizes the spins. This causes both a reduction in reaction efficiency and a change in the reaction products. The findings may point to a possible relation between ORR efficiency and anesthetic action.
