Bimetallic Mixed Clusters Highly Loaded on Porous 2D Graphdiyne for Hydrogen Energy Conversion.

ABSTRACT: There is no doubt that hydrogen energy can play significant role in promoting the development and progress of modern society. The utilization of hydrogen energy has developed rapidly, but it is far from the requirement of human. Therefore, it is very urgent to develop methodologies and technologies for efficient hydrogen production, especially high activity and durable electrocatalysts. Here a bimetallic oxide cluster on heterostructure of vanadium ruthenium oxides/graphdiyne (VRuO_x /GDY) is reported. The unique acetylene-rich structure of graphdiyne achieves outstanding characteristics of electrocatalyst: i) controlled preparation of catalysts for achieving multiple-metal clusters; ii) regulation of catalyst composition and morphology for synthesizing high-performance catalysts; iii) highly active and durable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) properties. The optimal porous electrocatalyst (VRu_0.027 O_x /GDY) can deliver 10 mA cm^-2 at low overpotentials of 13 and 12 mV together with robust long-term stability in alkaline and neutral media, respectively, which are much smaller than Pt/C. The results reveal that the synergism of different components can efficiently facilitate the electron/mass transport properties, reduce the energy barrier, and increase the active site number for high catalytic performances.

Rhodium nanocrystals on porous graphdiyne for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution from saline water.

Project description:The realization of the efficient hydrogen conversion with large current densities at low overpotentials represents the development trend of this field. Here we report the atomic active sites tailoring through a facile synthetic method to yield well-defined Rhodium nanocrystals in aqueous solution using formic acid as the reducing agent and graphdiyne as the stabilizing support. High-resolution high-angle annular dark-field scanning-transmission electron microscopy images show the high-density atomic steps on the faces of hexahedral Rh nanocrystals. Experimental results reveal the formation of stable sp-C~Rh bonds can stabilize Rh nanocrystals and further improve charge transfer ability in the system. Experimental and density functional theory calculation results solidly demonstrate the exposed high active stepped surfaces and various metal atomic sites affect the electronic structure of the catalyst to reduce the overpotential resulting in the large-current hydrogen production from saline water. This exciting result demonstrates unmatched electrocatalytic performance and highly stable saline water electrolysis.

Highly porous non-precious bimetallic electrocatalysts for efficient hydrogen evolution.

Project description:A robust and efficient non-precious metal catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction is one of the key components for carbon dioxide-free hydrogen production. Here we report that a hierarchical nanoporous copper-titanium bimetallic electrocatalyst is able to produce hydrogen from water under a mild overpotential at more than twice the rate of state-of-the-art carbon-supported platinum catalyst. Although both copper and titanium are known to be poor hydrogen evolution catalysts, the combination of these two elements creates unique copper-copper-titanium hollow sites, which have a hydrogen-binding energy very similar to that of platinum, resulting in an exceptional hydrogen evolution activity. In addition, the hierarchical porosity of the nanoporous copper-titanium catalyst also contributes to its high hydrogen evolution activity, because it provides a large-surface area for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution, and improves the mass transport properties. Moreover, the catalyst is self-supported, eliminating the overpotential associated with the catalyst/support interface.

Highly loaded bimetallic iron-cobalt catalysts for hydrogen release from ammonia.

Project description:Ammonia is a storage molecule for hydrogen, which can be released by catalytic decomposition. Inexpensive iron catalysts suffer from a low activity due to a too strong iron-nitrogen binding energy compared to more active metals such as ruthenium. Here, we show that this limitation can be overcome by combining iron with cobalt resulting in a Fe-Co bimetallic catalyst. Theoretical calculations confirm a lower metal-nitrogen binding energy for the bimetallic catalyst resulting in higher activity. Operando spectroscopy reveals that the role of cobalt in the bimetallic catalyst is to suppress the bulk-nitridation of iron and to stabilize this active state. Such catalysts are obtained from Mg(Fe,Co)2O4 spinel pre-catalysts with variable Fe:Co ratios by facile co-precipitation, calcination and reduction. The resulting Fe-Co/MgO catalysts, characterized by an extraordinary high metal loading reaching 74 wt.%, combine the advantages of a ruthenium-like electronic structure with a bulk catalyst-like microstructure typical for base metal catalysts.

Growing highly ordered Pt and Mn bimetallic single atomic layers over graphdiyne.

Project description:Controlling the precise growth of atoms is necessary to achieve manipulation of atomic composition and atomic position, regulation of electronic structure, and an understanding of reactions at the atomic level. Herein, we report a facile method for ordered anchoring of zero-valent platinum and manganese atoms with single-atom thickness on graphdiyne under mild conditions. Due to strong and incomplete charge transfer between graphdiyne and metal atoms, the formation of metal clusters and nanoparticles can be inhibited. The size, composition and structure of the bimetallic nanoplates are precisely controlled by the natural structure-limiting effect of graphdiyne. Experimental characterization clearly demonstrates such a fine control process. Electrochemical measurements show that the active site of platinum-manganese interface on graphdiyne guarantees the high catalytic activity and selectivity (~100%) for alkene-to-diol conversion. This work lays a solid foundation for obtaining high-performance nanomaterials by the atomic engineering of active site.

Bimetallic ZIF-Derived Co/N-Codoped Porous Carbon Supported Ruthenium Catalysts for Highly Efficient Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Exploring the economical, powerful, and durable electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is highly required for practical application. Herein, nanoclusters-decorated ruthenium, cobalt nanoparticles, and nitrogen codoped porous carbon (Ru-pCo@NC) are prepared with bimetallic zeolite imidazole frameworks (ZnCo-ZIF) as the precursor. Thus, the prepared Ru-pCo@NC catalyst with a low Ru loading of 3.13 wt% exhibits impressive HER catalytic behavior in 1 M KOH, with an overpotential of only 30 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm-2, Tafel slope as low as 32.1 mV dec-1, and superior stability for long-time running with a commercial 20 wt% Pt/C. The excellent electrocatalytic properties are primarily by virtue of the highly specific surface area and porosity of carbon support, uniformly dispersed Ru active species, and rapid reaction kinetics of the interaction between Ru and O.

The Anchoring Effect of 2D Graphdiyne Materials for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

Project description:Systematic first-principles calculations are designed to investigate the interaction between isolated S8, lithium polysulfide (PS) Li2S n (n = 1-8, at different lithiated stages) clusters and two-dimensional (2D) graphdiyne (GDY) materials. By the calculations of their detailed interaction, we investigate the 2D GDY ability of trapping lithium PS clusters in order to evaluate the anchoring effect of 2D GDY materials for lithium-sulfur batteries. The theoretical results show that lithium PS intermediates/B-GDY systems have a moderate binding energy, indicating that the 2D B-GDY material is a suitable candidate for the anchoring materials of Li-S batteries. From the analysis of their charge density differences, the B-S ? bond and Li bond play an important role in the anchoring effect of 2D B-GDY substrates.

Selective conversion of methane to cyclohexane and hydrogen via efficient hydrogen transfer catalyzed by GaN supported platinum clusters.

Project description:Non-oxidative liquefaction of methane at room temperature and ambient pressure has long been a scientific "holy grail" of chemical research. Herein, we exploit an unprecedented catalytic transformation of methane exclusively to cyclohexane and hydrogen evolution through effective surface-hydrogen-transfer (SHT) at the heterojunctions boundary consisting of electron-rich platinum cluster (Pt) loaded on methane-activating gallium nitride (GaN) host. The experimental analysis demonstrates that the interface-induced overall reaction starts with methane aromatization to benzene and surface-bound hydrogen initiated by the Ga-N pairs, followed by the hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexane with surface-bound hydrogen. The in-situ activated hydrogen at electron-rich metal Pt cluster is crucial for the hydrogenation and enables an outstanding selectivity (up to 92%) and productivity (41 μmol g-1) towards cyclohexane and hydrogen evolution concurrently at 300 °C, which is well-delivered after 5 recycling runs.

Optimal Icosahedral Copper-Based Bimetallic Clusters for the Selective Electrocatalytic CO<sub>2</sub> Conversion to One Carbon Products.

Project description:Electrochemical CO2 reduction reactions can lead to high value-added chemical and materials production while helping decrease anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Copper metal clusters can reduce CO2 to more than thirty different hydrocarbons and oxygenates yet they lack the required selectivity. We present a computational characterization of the role of nano-structuring and alloying in Cu-based catalysts on the activity and selectivity of CO2 reduction to generate the following one-carbon products: carbon monoxide (CO), formic acid (HCOOH), formaldehyde (H2C=O), methanol (CH3OH) and methane (CH4). The structures and energetics were determined for the adsorption, activation, and conversion of CO2 on monometallic and bimetallic (decorated and core@shell) 55-atom Cu-based clusters. The dopant metals considered were Ag, Cd, Pd, Pt, and Zn, located at different coordination sites. The relative binding strength of the intermediates were used to identify the optimal catalyst for the selective CO2 conversion to one-carbon products. It was discovered that single atom Cd or Zn doping is optimal for the conversion of CO2 to CO. The core@shell models with Ag, Pd and Pt provided higher selectivity for formic acid and formaldehyde. The Cu-Pt and Cu-Pd showed lowest overpotential for methane formation.

Energy-efficient CO<sub>(2)</sub> conversion to multicarbon products at high rates on CuGa bimetallic catalyst.

Project description:Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to multi-carbon products is a promising approach for achieving carbon-neutral economies. However, the energy efficiency of these processes remains low, particularly at high current densities. Herein, we demonstrate that the low energy efficiencies are, in part, sometimes significantly, attributed to the high concentration overpotential resulting from the instability (i.e., flooding) of catalyst-layer during electrolysis. To tackle this challenge, we develop copper/gallium bimetallic catalysts with reduced activation energies for the formation of multi-carbon products. Consequently, the reduced activation overpotential allows us to achieve practical-relevant current densities for CO2 reduction at low cathodic potentials, ensuring good stability of the catalyst-layer and thereby minimizing the undesired concentration overpotential. The optimized bimetallic catalyst achieves over 50% cathodic energy efficiency for multi-carbon production at a high current density of over 1.0Acm-2 . Furthermore, we achieve current densities exceeding 2.0Acm-2 in a zero-gap membrane-electrode-assembly reactor, with a full-cell energy efficiency surpassing 30%.

Computational characterization of competing energy and electron transfer states in bimetallic donor-acceptor systems for photocatalytic conversion.

Project description:The rapidly growing interest in photocatalytic systems for direct solar fuel production such as hydrogen generation from water splitting is grounded in the unique opportunity to achieve charge separation in molecular systems provided by electron transfer processes. In general, both photoinduced and catalytic processes involve complicated dynamics that depend on both structural and electronic effects. Here the excited state landscape of metal centered light harvester-catalyst pairs is explored using density functional theory calculations. In weakly bound systems, the interplay between structural and electronic factors involved can be constructed from the various mononuclear relaxed excited states. For this study, supramolecular states of electron transfer and excitation energy transfer character have been constructed from constituent full optimizations of multiple charge/spin states for a set of three Ru-based light harvesters and nine transition metal catalysts (based on Ru, Rh, Re, Pd, and Co) in terms of energy, structure, and electronic properties. The complete set of combined charge-spin states for each donor-acceptor system provides information about the competition of excited state energy transfer states with the catalytically active electron transfer states, enabling the identification of the most promising candidates for photocatalytic applications from this perspective.
