The electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) has the potential to effectively cut carbon emission. However, the activity and selectivity of eCO2RR catalysts are topical due to the intricacy of the reaction components and mechanism. Herein, we have decorated silver and copper nanoparticles over carbon nanoflakes to achieve an Ag–Cu NPs/C system that enables selective reduction of CO2 into CO. The catalyst is prepared by incorporating Ag nanoparticles into a Cu-BTC MOF (HKUST-1) and subsequent carbonization that alters the surface composition, with improved activity and faradaic efficiency (FE) towards selective CO2 reduction. The evaluation of electrocatalytic performance reveals that the synthesized catalyst exhibits enhanced electrocatalytic activity and selectivity with a FECO of ∼ 90% at −0.79 VRHE and a current density (j) of 44.15 mA cm−2 compared to Ag-NPs and Cu/C. The durability test over 40 h confirms the outstanding stability of Ag–Cu NPs/C. The lower Tafel slope value of only 75 mV dec−1 corresponds to the fast reaction kinetics on the surface of Ag–Cu NPs/C. The synthetic protocol in this work offers an easy approach to the betterment of a cost-effective electrocatalyst with improved FE.

电催化二氧化碳还原反应(eCO2RR)具有有效减少碳排放的潜力。然而,由于反应组分和机理的复杂性,eCO2RR 催化剂的活性和选择性一直是个难题。在此,我们将银纳米颗粒和铜纳米颗粒装饰在纳米碳片上,得到了一种银-铜 NPs/C 系统,该系统可将 CO2 选择性地还原成 CO。该催化剂的制备方法是将银纳米颗粒加入铜-四氯化碳 MOF(HKUST-1),然后进行碳化,从而改变其表面成分,从而提高了选择性还原 CO2 的活性和法拉第效率(FE)。电催化性能评估结果表明,与 Ag-NPs 和 Cu/C 相比,合成催化剂的电催化活性和选择性均有所提高,在 -0.79 VRHE 条件下的 FECO 为 90%,电流密度 (j) 为 44.15 mA cm-2。超过 40 小时的耐久性测试证实了 Ag-Cu NPs/C 的出色稳定性。仅为 75 mV dec-1 的较低 Tafel 斜坡值与 Ag-Cu NPs/C 表面的快速反应动力学相吻合。这项工作中的合成方案提供了一种简便的方法,可以更好地改进具有成本效益的电催化剂,并提高其 FE。

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are clay networks with brucite (Mg(OH2)) layers that are coupled with anions between the produced layers. The building structure of LDHs follows the formula [M1−x2+Mx3+(OH)2]x+(An)x/n·yH2O, where M3+ and M2 are trivalent and divalent cations in the structural units (sheets), respectively; x is the M3+ to (M2+ + M3+) cation ratio of the structure; and An is an interlayer anion. LDHs can be created utilizing simple approaches that regulate the layer structure, chemical composition, and shape of the crystals generated by adapting production parameters. The first method of modifying LDH composites is through intercalation, involving the insertion of inorganic or organic precursors into their composition, which can then be employed for a variety of purposes. The next method is a simple physical mixing technique between the created LDHs and advanced materials, such as activated carbon, graphene and its derivatives, and carbon nanotubes, for utilization as base substances in energy storage, supercapacitors, photo- and electrocatalysts, water splitting, and toxic gas removal from the surrounding environment. The final strategy is the synthesis of polymer–LDH composites by inserting effective polymers during the manufacturing process of LDHs to create nano-composites that can be utilized for energy, fire retardant, gas barrier, and wastewater cleaning applications. LDHs are a type of fine chemical that can be designed to have a desired chemical structure and performance for various purposes, such as redox reactions, bromination, ethoxylation, aldol condensation, NOx and SOx elimination, and biofuel production. Because LDH substances are not harmful to the environment, their different applications are unique in terms of green chemistry as they are recyclable and eco-friendly catalysts. The present review investigated the various methods used to create LDHs and the improvement of the produced composites via enhanced temperature calcination; intercalation of their structures by small-, medium-, and high-nuclear anions; and support by carbon compounds. The evaluation methods and the best prospective uses, such as biofuel generation, catalysis, water splitting, charge transfer, and wastewater treatment, are comprehensively reported according to the most current studies, and the future directions of LDHs are highlighted.

层状双氢氧化物(LDHs)是具有青金石(Mg(OH2))层的粘土网络,在生成的层之间有阴离子耦合。层状双氢氧化物的结构式如下[其中 M3+ 和 M2 是结构单元(薄片)中的三价和二价阳离子,x 是结构中 M3+ 与(M2++M3+)阳离子的比率,An 是层间阴离子。LDH 可以利用简单的方法制造,通过调整生产参数来调节层结构、化学成分和所生成晶体的形状。改变 LDH 复合材料的第一种方法是插层法,即在其成分中插入无机或有机前体,然后将其用于各种用途。第二种方法是在已生成的 LDH 以及活性炭、石墨烯及其衍生物和碳纳米管等先进材料之间采用简单的物理混合技术,将其作为基础物质用于能源储存、超级电容器、光催化剂和电催化剂、水分离以及清除周围环境中的有毒气体。最后一种策略是合成聚合物-LDH 复合材料,在制造 LDH 的过程中加入有效的聚合物,以制造纳米复合材料,用于能源、阻燃、气体阻隔和废水清洁。LDH 是一种精细化学品,可以设计成所需的化学结构和性能,用于氧化还原反应、溴化、乙氧基化、醛醇缩合、消除氮氧化物和硫氧化物以及生物燃料生产等多种用途。由于 LDH 物质对环境无害,使用它们的不同应用在绿色化学方面具有独特性,因为它们是可回收的环保催化剂。本综述研究了用于制备 LDH 的各种方法,以及通过高温煅烧、小核、中核和高核阴离子对其结构的插层和碳化合物的支撑来改进所生产的复合材料。根据目前的最新研究,全面报告了评估方法以及生物燃料生成、催化、水分离、电荷转移和废水处理等最佳前瞻性用途,并强调了 LDHs 的潜在前景。

With green hydrogen fuel continuing to be an important option for energy storage, studies on water-splitting reactions have attracted increasing attention. Within a multitude of parameters that have the potential to be explored to enhance water electrolysis, one of the most consequential factors is the development of an efficient electrocatalyst. The effectiveness of Co(III) corroles as electrocatalysts has largely been investigated in homogenous, non-aqueous or acidic environments. We report the use of heterogenized Co(III) corroles as bifunctional catalysts for water splitting under basic conditions, finding that the inclusion of alkyl chains on the ligand framework has a beneficial impact on electrocatalytic properties. Two new corroles have been isolated where the para positions in the fluorophenyl meso substituents of the parent cobalt(III) 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole Co(tpfpc)1 have been modified with heptyl, [Co(ttfphc)] 2 and dodecyl [Co(ttfpdc)] 3 amines via a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction. The electronic structure of these new complexes and properties of the resultant catalyst inks are significantly altered relative to the parent complex by the presence of the alkyl chains, as evidenced by changes in catalytic onset potentials and Tafel behavior during water splitting at pH 14. All catalysts were found to exhibit bifunctional behavior with reasonable stability, and the interactions of the alkyl amine groups with the supporting polymer in the catalyst ink have been found to have an important role in altering corrole aggregation and therefore Co active site accessibility during deposition of the catalyst inks.

随着绿色氢燃料继续成为能源储存的重要选择,有关水电解反应的研究吸引了越来越多的关注。在有可能提高水电解效果的众多参数中,最重要的因素之一是开发一种高效的电催化剂。作为电催化剂的 Co(III)腐蚀剂的有效性主要是在均质、非水或酸性环境中进行研究的。我们报告了在碱性条件下使用异质化 Co(III) 腐蚀物作为双功能催化剂进行水分离的情况,发现在配体框架上加入烷基链会对电催化性能产生有利影响。通过亲核芳香取代反应,母体钴(III)5,10,15-三(五氟苯基)珊瑚 Co(tpfpc) 1 的氟苯基中取代基的对位被庚基 [Co(ttfphc)] 2 和十二烷基 [Co(ttfpdc)] 3 改性。由于烷基链的存在,这些新络合物的电子结构和由此产生的催化剂墨水的性质与母体络合物相比发生了显著的变化,在 pH 值为 14 的条件下进行水分离时催化起始电位和塔菲尔行为的变化就是证明。研究发现,所有催化剂都表现出具有合理稳定性的双功能行为,而烷基胺基团与催化剂墨水中的支撑聚合物之间的相互作用在改变珊瑚虫聚集方面起着重要作用,因此在催化剂墨水的沉积过程中也改变了活性位点的可及性。

A sustainable and readily available material, lignin protobind 2400, was upcycled to activated porous carbon (APC) compatible with post-combustion CO2 capture. The effectiveness of the novel two-step physicochemical activation using KOH + CO2 and ZnCl2 + CO2 was compared with that of the respective physical (only CO2) and chemical activation (only KOH or ZnCl2). The effect of carbonization conditions (N2 or CO2 purging) on the resulting APC properties and CO2 adsorption performance was studied. The maximum BET surface area of 1480 m2 g−1 and the best CO2 adsorption capacity of 5.68, 3.66, and 2.67 mmol g−1 were observed at 0, 25, and 40 °C/1 bar, respectively. From the precursor to the final product, the APC yield falls within the range of 14.5–40.8 wt%. The APC derived from lignin exhibited better CO2/N2 selectivity. The isosteric heat of adsorption for all the APCs remained below 40 kJ mol−1, which suggested a lower energy requirement during the regeneration. The excellent reusability with fluctuations of only 0.51% in the amount of CO2 adsorbed over ten consecutive adsorption/desorption cycles highlights the APC's outstanding recyclability.

Modelling interfacial ionic transport in Li2VO2F cathodes during battery operation† 电池运行过程中 Li2VO2F 阴极的界面离子传输建模

Transition metal oxyflourides have gained considerable interest as potential high-capacity cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. So far, commercialization has been hindered by the poor cyclability and fast degradation of this class of materials. The degradation process is believed to start at the surface and progresses toward the bulk. In this context, a suitable cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) appears to be a crucial factor where the formation of LiF has been identified as a key component promoting interfacial stability. In the current work, we make use of a combined density functional theory (DFT) and kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) approach. Using DFT, we determine relevant interfaces between Li2VO2F and LiF. Rejection-free kMC simulations with parameters based on DFT are then used to probe the kinetics in the charging and discharging process of the Li2VO2F phase. We find that the interface formed by joining Li2VO2F and LiF via their most stable surface terminations has a modest but positive effect on the charging rate, where the LiF phase acts as a funnel that facilitates the Li extraction from the bulk of the Li2VO2F phase. However, the same interface has a severe impeding effect on the discharging of partially delithiated structures, which is orders of magnitudes slower than in the charging process. We find that the key property controlling the kinetics in the discharging process is the difference in stability of Li vacancies in the Li2VO2F and LiF phases.

作为锂离子电池的潜在高容量阴极材料,过渡金属氧氟化物已引起了人们的极大兴趣。迄今为止,这一类材料循环性差、降解快,阻碍了其商业化。降解过程被认为是从表面开始,然后向块体发展。在这种情况下,合适的阴极-电解质间相(CEI)似乎是一个关键因素,而 LiF 的形成被认为是促进界面稳定性的一个关键因素。在目前的工作中,我们采用了密度泛函理论(DFT)和动力学蒙特卡罗(kMC)相结合的方法。利用 DFT,我们确定了 Li2VO2F 和 LiF 之间的相关界面。然后使用基于 DFT 参数的无排斥 kMC 模拟来探究 Li2VO2F 相充放电过程的动力学。我们发现,Li2VO2F 和 LiF 通过其最稳定的表面端点连接形成的界面对充电速率有适度但积极的影响,其中 LiF 相起到漏斗的作用,有助于从 Li2VO2F 相的主体中提取锂。然而,同一界面对部分脱锂化结构的放电具有严重的阻碍作用,放电速度比充电过程慢几个数量级。我们发现,控制放电过程动力学的关键特性是 Li2VO2F 和 LiF 相中锂空位稳定性的差异。

Immobilization of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) with high density on a solid support is a crucial approach for their facile recovery and to counter aggregation problems. We have developed a simple technique by mediating the Diels–Alder “click reaction” using a deep eutectic solvent (DES) system. In this method, maleic anhydride (MA) was first covalently grafted onto the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO), which is further utilized as a seeding platform to grow dendrimers through the consecutive reactions of ethylenediamine (EDA) and MA. Finally, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were deposited in high density onto the dendrimers through visible light photoreaction. This method has excluded the use of harmful chemicals and an external reductant for the functionalization of rGO and deposition of AgNPs, respectively. Moreover, we have investigated the effect of dendrimers’ chain branching on the loading of AgNPs and evaluated their compound influence on the nitro-reduction reaction and antibacterial properties.

将高密度金属纳米粒子(MNPs)固定在固体支持物上是一种重要的方法,可使其易于回收并解决聚集问题。我们利用深共晶溶剂(DES)体系,开发出了一种简单的技术,即介导 Diels-Alder "点击反应"。在这种方法中,马来酸酐(MA)首先被共价接枝到还原氧化石墨烯(rGO)表面,然后通过乙二胺(EDA)和马来酸酐(MA)的连续反应,将还原氧化石墨烯(rGO)用作生长树枝状聚合物的播种平台。最后,通过可见光光反应将银纳米粒子(AgNPs)高密度沉积到树枝状聚合物上。这种方法避免了在 rGO 功能化和 AgNPs 沉积过程中分别使用有害化学物质和外部还原剂。此外,我们还研究了树枝状聚合物的链分支对 AgNPs 负载的影响,并评估了它们对硝基还原反应和抗菌性能的复合影响。

Solid-state hydrogen storage technology ensures a safer storage method, eliminating the risks of leaks, boiling losses, and explosions in commercial applications. Based on earlier findings, alloying LiH with silicon (Si) yields substantial storage capacity while lowering the energy needed for absorption and decomposition. Herein, the work explores using the derivative of bulk Si (i.e., porous silicon nanowires (PSiNWs)) after mechanical milling with LiH to improve the thermodynamic properties and uptake capacity. The PSiNWs are synthesized by Ag metal-assisted chemical etching of the bulk Si substrate. Nanopores on the nanowires enhance gas physisorption by overlapping attractive fields from opposing pore walls. The large surface area (∼450 m2 g−1) of the PSiNWs provides maximum active sites for hydrogen storage. The hydrogen storage capacity of the LiH–PSiNW alloy is evaluated through pressure composition isotherms at different temperatures (400–500 °C range) and ∼4 MPa charging pressure. The maximum observed capacity, ∼3.95 wt%, occurs at 400 °C. The thermodynamic analysis signifies the uniform absorption and desorption enthalpy after alloying LiH with PSiNWs. Hydrogen absorption and desorption enthalpies of ∼118 kJ mol−1 H2 and ∼115 kJ mol−1 H2 demonstrate a reduced energy requirement compared to individual LiH. The phase formation and variations before and after hydrogenation are studied by X-ray diffraction. This work investigates using Si nanostructures and light metal hydrides for enhanced hydrogen storage and cyclic functionalities, serving as both a storage material and catalyst.

固态储氢技术确保了更安全的储氢方法,消除了商业应用中的泄漏、沸腾损失和爆炸风险。根据早先的研究结果,将 LiH 与硅(Si)合金化可产生巨大的存储容量,同时降低吸收和分解所需的能量。在本文中,研究人员探讨了利用块状硅的衍生物(即多孔硅纳米线(PSiNWs))与 LiH 的机械研磨来改善热力学性质和吸收能力。PSiNWs 是在块硅基底上通过银金属辅助化学蚀刻法合成的。纳米线上的纳米孔通过重叠来自相对孔壁的吸引力场来增强气体物理吸附。PSiNWs 的大表面积(约 450 m2 g-1)为储氢提供了最大的活性位点。在不同温度(400 ℃ - 500 ℃ 范围)和 ~ 4 MPa 充电压力下,通过压力成分等温线评估了 LiH-PSiNWs 合金的储氢能力。观察到的最大容量(约 3.95 wt.%)出现在 400 ℃ 时。热力学分析表明,锂氢(LiH)与 PSiNWs 合金后具有均匀的吸收和解吸焓。吸氢和解吸焓分别为约 118 kJ mol-1 H2 和约 115 kJ mol-1 H2,这表明对能量的需求比单独的 LiH 要低。通过 X 射线衍射研究了氢化前后的相形成和变化。这项工作研究了利用硅纳米结构和轻金属氢化物来增强氢气储存和循环功能,既可用作储存材料,也可用作催化剂。

In response to the growing demand for battery materials, researchers explore alternative resources with a focus on sustainability. Among these, organic electrode materials including porphyrins have emerged as promising candidates due to their advantageous properties, such as rapid charging capabilities and high energy densities. However, despite their potential, the precise charging mechanism of these alternatives remains elusive. To address this gap, our study delved into copper porphyrins, with a primary focus on [5,15-bis(ethynyl)-10,20-diphenylporphinato] copper(II) (CuDEPP). Employing synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy in operando mode, we probed the evolution in chemical and electronic structure of Cu in CuDEPP. Our findings unequivocally demonstrate the participation of copper as a redox center during reversible charge storage, shedding light on its superior electrochemical performance. Furthermore, a combined approach involving extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) studies and theoretical calculations provided deeper insights into the observed structural distortion during the charge storage process. Notably, our results support the hypothesis that redox processes, specifically those involving the aromatic porphyrin ring, drive the electrochemical activity of CuDEPP. In summary, our investigation offers important insights into the charging mechanism of copper porphyrins an essential step toward advancing sustainable organic materials for batteries.

为满足对电池材料日益增长的需求,研究人员以可持续发展为重点,探索替代资源。其中,有机电极材料--包括卟啉--因其快速充电能力和高能量密度等优势特性而成为前景广阔的候选材料。然而,尽管这些替代材料潜力巨大,但其精确的充电机制仍然难以捉摸。为了填补这一空白,我们的研究深入探讨了铜卟啉,重点是[5,15-双(乙炔基)-10,20-二苯基卟吩]铜(II)(CuDEPP)。我们采用同步辐射 X 射线吸收光谱的操作模式,探究了 CuDEPP 中铜的化学和电子结构的演变。我们的研究结果明确证明了铜在可逆电荷存储过程中作为氧化还原中心的参与,从而揭示了其卓越的电化学性能。此外,通过扩展 X 射线吸收精细结构(EXAFS)研究和理论计算相结合的方法,我们对电荷存储过程中观察到的结构畸变有了更深入的了解。值得注意的是,我们的研究结果支持这样一种假设,即氧化还原过程,特别是涉及芳香族卟啉环的氧化还原过程,驱动了 CuDEPP 的电化学活性。总之,我们的研究为了解卟啉铜的充电机理提供了重要依据--这是向推动可持续有机电池材料发展迈出的重要一步。
