Highly stable PtP alloy nanotube arrays as a catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction in acidic medium.

ABSTRACT: Nanostructured Pt-metal alloys have shown impressive catalytic properties for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acidic medium, but their long-term stability has not been satisfactory. Herein, we look beyond the traditional Pt-metal alloys and have developed a new kind of Pt-nonmetal alloy electrocatalyst for the ORR. Specifically, the novel catalyst is composed of interconnected platinum monophosphide (PtP) alloy nanocrystals (?3-4 nm) and featured supportless nanotube array morphologies. Due to the unique combination of composition and structure, the obtained PtP alloy nanotube arrays not only exhibited remarkable ORR activity, but also showed almost no degradation of the half-wave potential after accelerated durability tests. The result suggests that alloying Pt with a nonmetallic element (such as P) is indeed an effective approach to address the poor stability of Pt-based catalysts in acidic medium.

Dynamic oxygen adsorption on single-atomic Ruthenium catalyst with high performance for acidic oxygen evolution reaction.

Project description:Achieving active and stable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acid media based on single-atom catalysts is highly promising for cost-effective and sustainable energy supply in proton electrolyte membrane electrolyzers. Here, we report an atomically dispersed Ru1-N4 site anchored on nitrogen-carbon support (Ru-N-C) as an efficient and durable electrocatalyst for acidic OER. The single-atom Ru-N-C catalyst delivers an exceptionally intrinsic activity, reaching a mass activity as high as 3571?A gmetal-1 and turnover frequency of 3348 O2 h-1 with a low overpotential of 267?mV at a current density of 10?mA?cm-2. The catalyst shows no evident deactivation or decomposition after 30-hour operation in acidic environment. Operando synchrotron radiation X-ray absorption spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy identify the dynamic adsorption of single oxygen atom on Ru site under working potentials, and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the O-Ru1-N4 site is responsible for the high OER activity and stability.

Hemoglobin-carbon nanotube derived noble-metal-free Fe5C2-based catalyst for highly efficient oxygen reduction reaction.

Project description:High performance non-precious cathodic catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are vital for the development of energy materials and devices. Here, we report an noble metal free, Fe5C2 nanoparticles-studded sp(2) carbon supported mesoporous material (CNTHb-700) as cathodic catalyst for ORR, which was prepared by pyrolizing the hybrid adduct of single walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) and lyophilized hemoglobin (Hb) at 700?°C. The catalyst shows onset potentials of 0.92?V in 0.1?M HClO4 and in 0.1?M KOH which are as good as commercial Pt/C catalyst, giving very high current density of 6.34 and 6.69?mA cm(-2) at 0.55?V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), respectively. This catalyst has been confirmed to follow 4-electron mechanism for ORR and shows high electrochemical stability in both acidic and basic media. Catalyst CNTHb-700 possesses much higher tolerance towards methanol than the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Highly efficient catalytic properties of CNTHb-700 could lead to fundamental understanding of utilization of biomolecules in ORR and materialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cells for clean energy production.

Amorphous Ni x Co y P-supported TiO2 nanotube arrays as an efficient hydrogen evolution reaction electrocatalyst in acidic solution.

Project description:Bimetallic phosphides have been attracting increasing attention due to their synergistic effect for improving the hydrogen evolution reaction as compared to monometallic phosphides. In this work, NiCoP modified hybrid electrodes were fabricated by a one-step electrodeposition process with TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) as a carrier. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used to characterize the physiochemical properties of the samples. The electrochemical performance was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. We show that after incorporating Co into Ni-P, the resulting Ni x Co y P/TNAs present enhanced electrocatalytic activity due to the improved electron transfer and increased electrochemically active surface area (ECSA). In 0.5 mol L-1 H2SO4 electrolyte, the Ni x Co y P/TNAs (x = 3.84, y = 0.78) demonstrated an ECSA value of 52.1 mF cm-2, which is 3.8 times that of Ni-P/TNAs (13.7 mF cm-2). In a two-electrode system with a Pt sheet as the anode, the Ni x Co y P/TNAs presented a bath voltage of 1.92 V at 100 mA cm-2, which is an improvment of 79% over that of 1.07 V at 10 mA cm-2.

Covalency-reinforced oxygen evolution reaction catalyst.

Project description:The oxygen evolution reaction that occurs during water oxidation is of considerable importance as an essential energy conversion reaction for rechargeable metal-air batteries and direct solar water splitting. Cost-efficient ABO3 perovskites have been studied extensively because of their high activity for the oxygen evolution reaction; however, they lack stability, and an effective solution to this problem has not yet been demonstrated. Here we report that the Fe(4+)-based quadruple perovskite CaCu3Fe4O12 has high activity, which is comparable to or exceeding those of state-of-the-art catalysts such as Ba(0.5)Sr(0.5)Co(0.8)Fe(0.2)O(3-δ) and the gold standard RuO2. The covalent bonding network incorporating multiple Cu(2+) and Fe(4+) transition metal ions significantly enhances the structural stability of CaCu3Fe4O12, which is key to achieving highly active long-life catalysts.

Stable and oxidative charged Ru enhance the acidic oxygen evolution reaction activity in two-dimensional ruthenium-iridium oxide.

Project description:The oxygen evolution reactions in acid play an important role in multiple energy storage devices. The practical promising Ru-Ir based catalysts need both the stable high oxidation state of the Ru centers and the high stability of these Ru species. Here, we report stable and oxidative charged Ru in two-dimensional ruthenium-iridium oxide enhances the activity. The Ru0.5Ir0.5O2 catalyst shows high activity in acid with a low overpotential of 151 mV at 10 mA cm-2, a high turnover frequency of 6.84 s-1 at 1.44 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode and good stability (618.3 h operation). Ru0.5Ir0.5O2 catalysts can form more Ru active sites with high oxidation states at lower applied voltages after Ir incorporation, which is confirmed by the pulse voltage induced current method. Also, The X-ray absorption spectroscopy data shows that the Ru-O-Ir local structure in two-dimensional Ru0.5Ir0.5O2 solid solution improved the stability of these Ru centers.

Carbon nanotube-titanium dioxide nanocomposite support for improved activity and stability of an iridium catalyst toward the oxygen evolution reaction.

Project description:In order to improve the electrocatalytic activity and stability of an iridium (Ir) nanoparticle catalyst toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic electrolyte, carbon nanotube and titanium dioxide nanocomposites (CNT@TiO2) are presented as a high-performance support. TiO2 was synthesized on CNTs by using a novel layer-by-layer solution coating method that mimics atomic layer deposition (ALD) but is cost-effective and scalable. In the nanocomposites, CNTs serve as the electron pathways and the surface TiO2 layers protect CNTs from corrosion under the harsh OER conditions. Thus, CNT@TiO2 demonstrates excellent corrosion resistance as well as a high electrical conductivity (1.6 ± 0.2 S cm-1) comparable to that of Vulcan carbon (1.4 S cm-1). The interaction between Ir and TiO2 promotes the formation of Ir(iii) species, thereby enhancing the OER activity and stability of the Ir nanoparticle catalyst. Compared to commercial carbon-supported Ir (Ir/C) and Ir black catalysts, CNT@TiO2-supported Ir exhibits superior OER activity and stability.

CoCrFeNi High-Entropy Alloy as an Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution Catalyst in an Acidic Solution.

Project description:High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have intriguing material properties, but their potential as catalysts has not been widely explored. Based on a concise theoretical model, we predict that the surface of a quaternary HEA of base metals, CoCrFeNi, should go from being nearly fully oxidized except for pure Ni sites when exposed to O2 to being partially oxidized in an acidic solution under cathodic bias, and that such a partially oxidized surface should be more active for the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic solutions than all the component metals. These predictions are confirmed by electrochemical and surface science experiments: the Ni in the HEA is found to be most resistant to oxidation, and when deployed in 0.5 M H2SO4, the HEA exhibits an overpotential of only 60 mV relative to Pt for the HER at a current density of 1 mA/cm2.

Density Functional Theory Study of NiFeCo Trinary Oxy-Hydroxides for an Efficient and Stable Oxygen Evolution Reaction Catalyst.

Project description:NiOOH and its doped species are widely used as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media. In this work, we carried out comprehensive density functional theory (DFT) simulations of Ni-based electrocatalysts for the OER by applying suitable dopants in β-NiOOH. A range of Fe and Co atoms (%) are employed as doping agents to increase the overall catalytic ability, stability, and feasibility of NiOOH. Our simulations indicate that Ni88%Fe6%Co6%OOH is efficient, stable, and provides more catalytic sites at the surface of resulting catalysts for water adsorption and dissociation, which facilitate the OER. The lower overpotential for the OER is estimated from the higher adsorption energy of water molecule over the surface of Ni88%Fe6%Co6%OOH, followed by other electronic properties such as band structure, electrostatic potential, the density of states, and surface formation energy.

Anodic Fabrication of Ti-Ni-O Nanotube Arrays on Shape Memory Alloy.

Project description:Surface modification with oxide nanostructures is one of the efficient ways to improve physical or biomedical properties of shape memory alloys. This work reports a fabrication of highly ordered Ti-Ni-O nanotube arrays on Ti-Ni alloy substrates through pulse anodization in glycerol-based electrolytes. The effects of anodization parameters and the annealing process on the microstructures and surface morphology of Ti-Ni-O were studied using scanning electron microscope and Raman spectroscopy. The electrolyte type greatly affected the formation of nanotube arrays. A formation of anatase phase was found with the Ti-Ni-O nanotube arrays annealed at 450 °C. The oxide nanotubes could be crystallized to rutile phase after annealing treatment at 650 °C. The Ti-Ni-O nanotube arrays demonstrated an excellent thermal stability by keeping their nanotubular structures up to 650 °C.

Fabrication of Ni-Ti-O nanotube arrays by anodization of NiTi alloy and their potential applications.

Project description:Nickel-titanium-oxide (Ni-Ti-O) nanotube arrays (NTAs) prepared on nearly equiatomic NiTi alloy shall have broad application potential such as for energy storage and biomedicine, but their precise structure control is a great challenge because of the high content of alloying element of Ni, a non-valve metal that cannot form a compact electronic insulating passive layer when anodized. In the present work, we systemically investigated the influence of various anodization parameters on the formation and structure of Ni-Ti-O NTAs and their potential applications. Our results show that well controlled NTAs can be fabricated during relatively wide ranges of the anodization voltage (5-90 V), electrolyte temperature (10-50°C) and electrolyte NH4F content (0.025-0.8 wt%) but within a narrow window of the electrolyte H2O content (0.0-1.0 vol%). Through modulating these parameters, the Ni-Ti-O NTAs with different diameter (15-70 nm) and length (45-1320 nm) can be produced in a controlled manner. Regarding potential applications, the Ni-Ti-O NTAs may be used as electrodes for electrochemical energy storage and non-enzymic glucose detection, and may constitute nanoscaled biofunctional coating to improve the biological performance of NiTi based biomedical implants.
