Highly Efficient Oxygen Evolution Reaction Enabled by Phosphorus Doping of the Fe Electronic Structure in Iron-Nickel Selenide Nanosheets.

ABSTRACT: The electronic structure of active sites is critically important for electrochemical reactions. Here, the authors report a facile approach to independently regulate the electronic structure of Fe in Ni_0.75 Fe_0.25 Se₂ by P doping. The resulting electrode exhibits superior catalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) showing a low overpotential (238 mV at 100 mA cm^-2 , 185 mV at 10 mA cm^-2 ) and an impressive durability in an alkaline medium. Additionally, the mass activity of 328.19 A g^-1 and turnover frequency (TOF) of 0.18 s^-1 at an overpotential of 500 mV are obtained for P─Ni_0.75 Fe_0.25 Se₂ which is much higher than that of Ni_0.75 Fe_0.25 Se₂ and RuO₂ . This work presents a new strategy for the rational design of efficient electrocatalysts for OER.

Co-Based Nanosheets with Transitional Metal Doping for Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Project description:Activated two-dimension (2D) materials are used in various applications as high-performance catalysts. Breaking the long-range order of the basal plane of 2D materials can highly promote catalytic activity by supplying more active sites. Here we developed a method to synthesize ultrathin MCoOx (M = V, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn) amorphous nanosheets (ANSs). These Co-based ANSs show high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity in alkaline solution due to the broken long-range order and the presence of abundant low bonded O on the basal plane. The stable Fe1Co1Ox ANSs also show an overpotential of ca. 240 mV of achieving 10 mA/cm2 in OER, better than most reported transition metal-based electrocatalysts.

Boosting oxygen evolution reaction rates with mesoporous Fe-doped MoCo-phosphide nanosheets.

Project description:Transition metal-based catalysts are commonly used for water electrolysis and cost-effective hydrogen fuel production due to their exceptional electrochemical performance, particularly in enhancing the efficiency of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode. In this study, a novel approach was developed for the preparation of catalysts with abundant active sites and defects. The MoCoFe-phosphide catalyst nanosheets were synthesized using a simple one-step hydrothermal reaction and chemical vapor deposition-based phosphorization. The resulting MoCoFe-phosphide catalyst nanosheets displayed excellent electrical conductivity and a high number of electrochemically active sites, leading to high electrocatalytic activities and efficient kinetics for the OER. The MoCoFe-phosphide catalyst nanosheets demonstrated remarkable catalytic activity, achieving a low overpotential of only 250 mV to achieve the OER at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The catalyst also exhibited a low Tafel slope of 43.38 mV dec-1 and maintained high stability for OER in alkaline media, surpassing the performance of most other transition metal-based electrocatalysts. The outstanding OER performance can be attributed to the effects of Mo and Fe, which modulate the electronic properties and structures of CoP. The results showed a surface with abundant defects and active sites with a higher proportion of Co2+ active sites, a larger specific surface area, and improved interfacial charge transfer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed that the catalyst's high activity originates from the presence of Mo6+/Mo4+ and Co2+/Co3+ redox couples, as well as the formation of active metal (oxy)hydroxide species on its surface.

Secondary-Atom-Doping Enables Robust Fe-N-C Single-Atom Catalysts with Enhanced Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:Single-atom catalysts (SACs) with nitrogen-coordinated nonprecious metal sites have exhibited inimitable advantages in electrocatalysis. However, a large room for improving their activity and durability remains. Herein, we construct atomically dispersed Fe sites in N-doped carbon supports by secondary-atom-doped strategy. Upon the secondary doping, the density and coordination environment of active sites can be efficiently tuned, enabling the simultaneous improvement in the number and reactivity of the active site. Besides, structure optimizations in terms of the enlarged surface area and improved hydrophilicity can be achieved simultaneously. Due to the beneficial microstructure and abundant highly active FeN5 moieties resulting from the secondary doping, the resultant catalyst exhibits an admirable half-wave potential of 0.81 V versus 0.83 V for Pt/C and much better stability than Pt/C in acidic media. This work would offer a general strategy for the design and preparation of highly active SACs for electrochemical energy devices.

Nanochannel-Controlled Synthesis of Ultrahigh Nitrogen-Doping Efficiency on Mesoporous Fe/N/C Catalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:Designing appropriate methods to effectively enhance nitrogen-doping efficiency and active-site density is essential to boost the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of non-platinum Fe/N/C-type electrocatalysts. Here, we propose a facile and effective strategy to design a mesopore-structured Fe/N/C catalyst for the ORR with ultrahigh BET surface area and outstanding conductivity via nanochannels of molecular sieve-confined pyrolysis of Fe2+ ions coordinated with 2,4,6-tri(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine complexes as a novel precursor with the stable coordination effect. Combining the nanochannel-confined effect with the stable coordination effect can synergistically improve the thermal stability and stabilize the nitrogen-enriched active sites, and help to control the loss of active N atoms during pyrolysis process and to further obtain a high active-site density for enhancing the ORR activity. The as-prepared Fe/N/C electrocatalyst has exhibited excellent catalytic activity with an onset potential of ~ 0.841 V (versus RHE) closely approaching the Pt/C catalyst and high long-term stability in alkaline electrolyte. Besides, low-hydrogen peroxide yield (< 6.5%) and high electron transfer number (3.88-3.94) can be found on this catalyst, indicating that it is a valuable substitute for traditional Pt/C catalysts. This work paves a new way to design high-performance Fe/N/C electrocatalysts and deepens the understanding of active site and ORR catalysis mechanism.

Project description:Amorphous-like Ni-Fe-S ultrathin nanosheets by oxygen incorporation and electrochemical tuning show excellent OER activity at high current densities. Such excellent performance could be attributed to the unique 3D porous configuration composed of amorphous-like ultrathin nanosheets with much more active sites and improved conductivity, as well as the proper electronic structure benefiting from the oxygen incorporation and electrochemical tuning.

Oxygen Isotope Labeling Experiments Reveal Different Reaction Sites for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction on Nickel and Nickel Iron Oxides.

Project description:Nickel iron oxide is considered a benchmark nonprecious catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the nature of the active site in nickel iron oxide is heavily debated. Here we report direct spectroscopic evidence for the different active sites in Fe-free and Fe-containing Ni oxides. Ultrathin layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were used as defined samples of metal oxide catalysts, and 18 O-labeling experiments in combination with in?situ Raman spectroscopy were employed to probe the role of lattice oxygen as well as an active oxygen species, NiOO- , in the catalysts. Our data show that lattice oxygen is involved in the OER for Ni and NiCo LDHs, but not for NiFe and NiCoFe LDHs. Moreover, NiOO- is a precursor to oxygen for Ni and NiCo LDHs, but not for NiFe and NiCoFe LDHs. These data indicate that bulk Ni sites in Ni and NiCo oxides are active and evolve oxygen via a NiOO- precursor. Fe incorporation not only dramatically increases the activity, but also changes the nature of the active sites.

Designing highly stable ferrous selenide-black phosphorus nanosheets heteronanostructure via P-Se bond for MRI-guided photothermal therapy.

Project description:BackgroundThe design of stable and biocompatible black phosphorus-based theranostic agents with high photothermal conversion efficiency and clear mechanism to realize MRI-guided precision photothermal therapy (PTT) is imminent.ResultsHerein, black phosphorus nanosheets (BPs) covalently with mono-dispersed and superparamagnetic ferrous selenide (FeSe2) to construct heteronanostructure nanoparticles modified with methoxy poly (Ethylene Glycol) (mPEG-NH2) to obtain good water solubility for MRI-guided photothermal tumor therapy is successfully designed. The mechanism reveals that the enhanced photothermal conversion achieved by BPs-FeSe2-PEG heteronanostructure is attributed to the effective separation of photoinduced carriers. Besides, through the formation of the P-Se bond, the oxidation degree of FeSe2 is weakened. The lone pair electrons on the surface of BPs are occupied, which reduces the exposure of lone pair electrons in air, leading to excellent stability of BPs-FeSe2-PEG. Furthermore, the BPs-FeSe2-PEG heteronanostructure could realize enhanced T2-weighted imaging due to the aggregation of FeSe2 on BPs and the formation of hydrogen bonds, thus providing accurate PTT guidance and generating hyperthermia to inhabit tumor growth under NIR laser with negligible toxicity in vivo.ConclusionsCollectively, this work offers an opportunity for fabricating BPs-based heteronanostructure nanomaterials that could simultaneously enhance photothermal conversion efficiency and photostability to realize MRI-guided cancer therapy.

Cobalt Nanoparticles/Black Phosphorus Nanosheets: An Efficient Catalyst for Electrochemical Oxygen Evolution.

Project description:Black phosphorus (BP) nanosheet (NS) is an emerging oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst with both high conductivity and abundant active sites. However, its ultrathin structure suffers instability because of the lone pair electrons exposed at the surface, which badly restricts durability for achieving long-term OER catalysis. Herein, a facile solvothermal reduction route is designed to fabricate Co/BP NSs hybrid electrocatalyst by in situ growth of cobalt nanoparticles on BP NSs. Notably, electronic structure engineering of Co/BP NSs catalyst is observed by electron migration from BP to Co due to the higher Fermi level of BP than that of Co. Because of the preferential migration of the active lone pairs from the defect of BP NSs, the stability and high hole mobility can be effectively retained. Consequently, Co/BP NSs electrocatalyst exhibits outstanding OER performance, with an overpotential of 310 mV at 10 mA cm-2, and excellent stability in alkaline media, indicating the potential for the alternatives of commercial IrO2. This study provides insightful understanding into engineering electronic structure of BP NSs by fully utilizing defect and provides a new idea to design hybrid electrocatalysts.

A simple method for the preparation of a nickel selenide and cobalt selenide mixed catalyst to enhance bifunctional oxygen activity for Zn-air batteries.

Project description:Developing a low-cost, simple, and efficient method to prepare excellent bifunctional electrocatalysts toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical in rechargeable zinc-air batteries. Non-stoichiometric M0.85Se (M = Ni or Co) nanoparticles are synthesized and modified on nitrogen-doped hollow carbon sphere (NHCS). The NHCS loaded Ni0.85Se (Ni0.85Se-NHCS) with rich Ni3+ presents higher OER activity, whereas the NHCS-loaded Co0.85Se (Co0.85Se-NHCS) with abundant Co2+ displays better ORR activity, respectively. When Co0.85Se-NHCS is mixed with Ni0.85Se-NHCS in a mass ratio of 1 : 1, the resulting mixture (Ni0.85Se/Co0.85Se-NHCS-2) shows better ORR and OER dual catalytic functions than a single selenide. Moreover, zinc-air batteries equipped with Ni0.85Se/Co0.85Se-NHCS-2 as the oxygen electrode catalyst exhibit excellent charge and discharge performance as well as improved stability over precious metals. This work has developed a simple and effective method to prepare excellent bifunctional electrocatalysts for ORR and OER, which is beneficial for the practical large-scale application of zinc-air batteries.

Ultrahigh oxygen evolution reaction activity in Au doped co-based nanosheets.

Project description:Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has attracted enormous interest as a key process for water electrolysis over the past years. The advance of this process relies on an effective catalyst. Herein, we employed single-atom Au doped Co-based nanosheets (NSs) to theoretically and experimentally evaluate the OER activity and also the interaction between Co and Au. We reveal that Au-Co(OH)2 NSs achieved a low overpotential of 0.26 V at 10 mA cm-2. This extraordinary phenomenon presents an overall superior performance greater than state-of-the-art Co-based catalysts in a sequence of α-Co(OH)2 < Co3O4 < CoOOH < Au-Co(OH)2. With ab initio calculations and analysis in the specific Au-Co(OH)2 configuration, we reveal that OER on highly active Au-Co(OH)2 originates from lattice oxygen, which is different from the conventional adsorbate evolution scheme. Explicitly, the configuration of Au-Co(OH)2 gives rise to oxygen non-bonding (ONB) states and oxygen holes, allowing direct O-O bond formation by a couple of oxidized oxygen with oxygen holes, offering a high OER activity. This study provides new insights for elucidating the origins of activity and synthesizing efficient OER electrocatalysts.
