Spin-sate reconfiguration induced by alternating magnetic field for efficient oxygen evolution reaction.

ABSTRACT: Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) plays a determining role in electrochemical energy conversion devices, but challenges remain due to the lack of effective low-cost electrocatalysts and insufficient understanding about sluggish reaction kinetics. Distinguish from complex nano-structuring, this work focuses on the spin-related charge transfer and orbital interaction between catalysts and intermediates to accelerate catalytic reaction kinetics. Herein, we propose a simple magnetic-stimulation approach to rearrange spin electron occupation in noble-metal-free metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with a feature of thermal-differentiated superlattice, in which the localized magnetic heating in periodic spatial distribution makes the spin flip occur at particular active sites, demonstrating a spin-dependent reaction pathway. As a result, the spin-rearranged Co_0.8Mn_0.2 MOF displays mass activities of 3514.7 A g_metal^-1 with an overpotential of ~0.27 V, which is 21.1 times that of pristine MOF. Our findings provide a new paradigm for designing spin electrocatalysis and steering reaction kinetics.

Spin-polarized oxygen evolution reaction under magnetic field.

Project description:The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the bottleneck that limits the energy efficiency of water-splitting. The process involves four electrons' transfer and the generation of triplet state O2 from singlet state species (OH- or H2O). Recently, explicit spin selection was described as a possible way to promote OER in alkaline conditions, but the specific spin-polarized kinetics remains unclear. Here, we report that by using ferromagnetic ordered catalysts as the spin polarizer for spin selection under a constant magnetic field, the OER can be enhanced. However, it does not applicable to non-ferromagnetic catalysts. We found that the spin polarization occurs at the first electron transfer step in OER, where coherent spin exchange happens between the ferromagnetic catalyst and the adsorbed oxygen species with fast kinetics, under the principle of spin angular momentum conservation. In the next three electron transfer steps, as the adsorbed O species adopt fixed spin direction, the OER electrons need to follow the Hund rule and Pauling exclusion principle, thus to carry out spin polarization spontaneously and finally lead to the generation of triplet state O2. Here, we showcase spin-polarized kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction, which gives references in the understanding and design of spin-dependent catalysts.

Electron Spin Selective Iridium Electrocatalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Highly efficient electrocatalysts for water electrolysis are crucial to the widespread commercialization of the technology and an important step forward toward a sustainable energy future. In this study, an alternative method for boosting the electrocatalytic activity toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) of a well-known electrocatalyst (iridium) is presented. Iridium nanoparticles (2.1 ± 0.2 nm in diameter) functionalized with chiral molecules were found to markedly enhance the activity of the OER when compared to unfunctionalized and achiral functionalized iridium nanoparticles. At a potential of 1.55 V vs Reference Hydrogen Electrode (RHE), chiral functionalized iridium nanoparticles exhibited an average 85% enhancement in activity with respect to unfunctionalized iridium nanoparticles compared to an average 13% enhancement for the achiral functionalized iridium nanoparticle. This activity enhancement is attributed to a spin-selective electron transfer mechanism taking place on the chiral functionalized catalysts, a characteristic induced by the chirality of the ligand. This alternative path for the OER drastically reduces the production of hydrogen peroxide, which was confirmed via a colorimetric method.

Giant Vertical Magnetization Shift Caused by Field-Induced Ferromagnetic Spin Reconfiguration in Ni50Mn36Ga14 Alloy.

Project description:Vertical magnetization shift (VMS) is a special type of exchange bias effect that may lead to a revolution in future ultrahigh-density magnetic recording technology. However, there are very few reports focusing on the performance of VMS due to the unclear mechanism. In this paper, a giant vertical magnetization shift (ME) of 6.34 emu/g is reported in the Ni50Mn36Ga14 alloy. The VMS can be attributed to small ferromagnetic ordered regions formed by spin reconfiguration after field cooling, which are embedded in an antiferromagnetic matrix. The strong cooling-field dependence, temperature dependence, and training effect all corroborate the presence of spin reconfiguration and its role in the VMS. This work can enrich VMS research and increase its potential in practical applications as well.

Oxygen Vacancy and Interface Effect Adjusted Hollow Dodecahedrons for Efficient Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with special morphologies provide the geometric morphology and composition basis for the construction of platforms with excellent catalytic activity. In this work, cobalt-cerium composite oxide hollow dodecahedrons (Co/Cex-COHDs) with controllable morphology and tunable composition are successfully prepared via a high-temperature pyrolysis strategy using Co/Ce-MOFs as self-sacrificial templates. The construction of the hollow structure can expose a larger surface area to provide abundant active sites and pores to facilitate the diffusion of substances. The formation and optimization of phase interface between Co3O4 and CeO2 regulate the electronic structure of the catalytic site and form a fast channel favorable to electron transport, thereby enhancing the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution activity. Based on the above advantages, the optimized Co/Ce0.2-COHDs obtained an enhanced oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance.

Magnetic field-driven assembly and reconfiguration of multicomponent supraparticles.

Project description:Suprastructures at the colloidal scale must be assembled with precise control over local interactions to accurately mimic biological complexes. The toughest design requirements include breaking the symmetry of assembly in a simple and reversible fashion to unlock functions and properties so far limited to living matter. We demonstrate a simple experimental technique to program magnetic field-induced interactions between metallodielectric patchy particles and isotropic, nonmagnetic "satellite" particles. By controlling the connectivity, composition, and distribution of building blocks, we show the assembly of three-dimensional, multicomponent supraparticles that can dynamically reconfigure in response to change in external field strength. The local arrangement of building blocks and their reconfigurability are governed by a balance of attraction and repulsion between oppositely polarized domains, which we illustrate theoretically and tune experimentally. Tunable, bulk assembly of colloidal matter with predefined symmetry provides a platform to design functional microstructured materials with preprogrammable physical and chemical properties.

Motion and Interaction of Magnetic Dislocations in Alternating Magnetic Field.

Project description:The behavior of magnetic dislocations (MDs) in an alternating harmonic magnetic field in iron garnets has been experimentally investigated. The results are presented for single-crystal plates in which the drift of domain walls is observed in fields of sound frequencies. It is found that MDs in a stripe domain structure are able to move not only along but also across domain walls. A pairwise interaction between magnetic dislocations when they approach each other to distances on the order of the sizes of the cores of MDs is revealed. The processes of the annihilation, mutual passing of magnetic dislocations through each other and overtaking are found. The features of the dynamic behavior of MDs are explained using a mechanism based on the presence of vertical Bloch lines in a structure of domain walls. MDs are formed at nucleation centers, and their nucleation field is lower than the drift-starting field, which corresponds to previously proposed dislocational mechanism of the drift. The dependencies of quantitative parameters of the drift and MDs on amplitude and frequency of the pumping field are determined. The behavior of MDs should be considered when analyzing the mechanisms for magnetization and temperature-dependent phase transitions in magnetic layers.

Self-healable printed magnetic field sensors using alternating magnetic fields.

Project description:We employ alternating magnetic fields (AMF) to drive magnetic fillers actively and guide the formation and self-healing of percolation networks. Relying on AMF, we fabricate printable magnetoresistive sensors revealing an enhancement in sensitivity and figure of merit of more than one and two orders of magnitude relative to previous reports. These sensors display low noise, high resolution, and are readily processable using various printing techniques that can be applied to different substrates. The AMF-mediated self-healing has six characteristics: 100% performance recovery; repeatable healing over multiple cycles; room-temperature operation; healing in seconds; no need for manual reassembly; humidity insensitivity. It is found that the above advantages arise from the AMF-induced attraction of magnetic microparticles and the determinative oscillation that work synergistically to improve the quantity and quality of filler contacts. By virtue of these advantages, the AMF-mediated sensors are used in safety application, medical therapy, and human-machine interfaces for augmented reality.

MOF-Derived Ultrathin Cobalt Phosphide Nanosheets as Efficient Bifunctional Hydrogen Evolution Reaction and Oxygen Evolution Reaction Electrocatalysts.

Project description:The development of a highly efficient and stable bifunctional electrocatalyst for water splitting is still a challenging issue in obtaining clean and sustainable chemical fuels. Herein, a novel bifunctional catalyst consisting of 2D transition-metal phosphide nanosheets with abundant reactive sites templated by Co-centered metal-organic framework nanosheets, denoted as CoP-NS/C, has been developed through a facile one-step low-temperature phosphidation process. The as-prepared CoP-NS/C has large specific surface area and ultrathin nanosheets morphology providing rich catalytic active sites. It shows excellent electrocatalytic performances for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic and alkaline media, with the Tafel slopes of 59 and 64 mV/dec and a current density of 10 mA/cm² at the overpotentials of 140 and 292 mV, respectively, which are remarkably superior to those of CoP/C, CoP particles, and comparable to those of commercial noble-metal catalysts. In addition, the CoP-NS/C also shows good durability after a long-term test.

Efficient DNA ligation by selective heating of DNA ligase with a radio frequency alternating magnetic field.

Project description:We present a simple method for efficient DNA ligation utilizing the heat generation of ferromagnetic particles subjected to an ac magnetic field. We carry out the ligation of DNA fragments with cohesive ends using T4 DNA ligase immobilized on the surface of ferromagnetic particles. When a radio frequency alternating magnetic field is applied, ferromagnetic particles dissipate heat and DNA ligase on the particles is selectively heated up and activated with little influence on the annealing of DNA ends, as a result of which the ligation efficiency increases. We show that the ligation efficiency increases with an increase in the field amplitude.

P-type cobaltite oxide spinels enable efficient electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction.

Project description:Currently, energy-efficient electrocatalytic oxygen evolution from water involves the use of noble metal oxides. Here, we show that highly p-conducting zinc cobaltite spinel Zn1.2Co1.8O3.5 offers an enhanced electrocatalytic activity for oxygen evolution. We refer to previous studies on sputtered Zn-Co spinels with optimized conductivity for implementation as (p-type) transparent conducting oxides. Based on that, we manufacture off-stoichiometric conducting p-spinel catalytic anodes on tetragonal Ti, Au-Ti and hexagonal Al-doped ZnO carriers and report the evolution of O2 at Tafel slopes between 40.5 and 48 mV dec-1 and at overpotentials between 0.35 and 0.43 V (at 10 mA cm-2). The anodic stability, i.e., 50 h of continuous O2 electrolysis in 1 M KOH, suggests that increasing the conductivity is advantageous for electrolysis, particularly for reducing the ohmic losses and ensuring activity across the entire surface. We conclude by pointing out the merits of improving p-doping in Zn-Co spinels by optimized growth on a tetragonal Ti-carrier and their application as dimension-stable 3d-metal anodes.
