Promoting biomass electrooxidation via modulating proton and oxygen anion deintercalation in hydroxide.

ABSTRACT: The redox center of transition metal oxides and hydroxides is generally considered to be the metal site. Interestingly, proton and oxygen in the lattice recently are found to be actively involved in the catalytic reactions, and critically determine the reactivity. Herein, taking glycerol electrooxidation reaction as the model reaction, we reveal systematically the impact of proton and oxygen anion (de)intercalation processes on the elementary steps. Combining density functional theory calculations and advanced spectroscopy techniques, we find that doping Co into Ni-hydroxide promotes the deintercalation of proton and oxygen anion from the catalyst surface. The oxygen vacancies formed in NiCo hydroxide during glycerol electrooxidation reaction increase d-band filling on Co sites, facilitating the charge transfer from catalyst surface to cleaved molecules during the 2^nd C-C bond cleavage. Consequently, NiCo hydroxide exhibits enhanced glycerol electrooxidation activity, with a current density of 100 mA/cm² at 1.35 V and a formate selectivity of 94.3%.

Anion insertion enhanced electrodeposition of robust metal hydroxide/oxide electrodes for oxygen evolution.

Project description:Electrochemical deposition is a facile strategy to prepare functional materials but suffers from limitation in thin films and uncontrollable interface engineering. Here we report a universal electrosynthesis of metal hydroxides/oxides on varied substrates via reduction of oxyacid anions. On graphitic substrates, we find that the insertion of nitrate ion in graphene layers significantly enhances the electrodeposit-support interface, resulting in high mass loading and super hydrophilic/aerophobic properties. For the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction, the nanocrystalline cerium dioxide and amorphous nickel hydroxide co-electrodeposited on graphite exhibits low overpotential (177?mV@10?mA?cm-2) and sustains long-term durability (over 300?h) at a large current density of 1000?mA?cm-2. In situ Raman and operando X-ray diffraction unravel that the integration of cerium promotes the formation of electrocatalytically active gamma-phase nickel oxyhydroxide with exposed (003) facets. Therefore, combining anion intercalation with cathodic electrodeposition allows building robust electrodes with high electrochemical performance.

Promoting nickel oxidation state transitions in single-layer NiFeB hydroxide nanosheets for efficient oxygen evolution.

Project description:Promoting the formation of high-oxidation-state transition metal species in a hydroxide catalyst may improve its catalytic activity in the oxygen evolution reaction, which remains difficult to achieve with current synthetic strategies. Herein, we present a synthesis of single-layer NiFeB hydroxide nanosheets and demonstrate the efficacy of electron-deficient boron in promoting the formation of high-oxidation-state Ni for improved oxygen evolution activity. Raman spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and electrochemical analyses show that incorporation of B into a NiFe hydroxide causes a cathodic shift of the Ni2+(OH)2 → Ni3+δOOH transition potential. Density functional theory calculations suggest an elevated oxidation state for Ni and decreased energy barriers for the reaction with the NiFeB hydroxide catalyst. Consequently, a current density of 100 mA cm-2 was achieved in 1 M KOH at an overpotential of 252 mV, placing it among the best Ni-based catalysts for this reaction. This work opens new opportunities in electronic engineering of metal hydroxides (or oxides) for efficient oxygen evolution in water-splitting applications.

Organoplatinum Compounds as Anion-Tuneable Uphill Hydroxide Transporters.

Project description:Active transport of ions uphill, creating a concentration gradient across a cell membrane, is essential for life. It remains a significant challenge to develop synthetic systems that allow active uphill transport. Here, a transport process fuelled by organometallic compounds is reported that creates a pH gradient. The hydrolysis reaction of PtII complexes results in the formation of aqua complexes that established rapid transmembrane movement ("flip-flop") of neutral Pt-OH species, leading to protonation of the OH group in the inner leaflet, generating OH- ions, and so increasing the pH in the intravesicular solution. The organoplatinum complex effectively transports bound hydroxide ions across the membrane in a neutral complex. The initial net flow of the PtII complex into the vesicles generates a positive electric potential that can further drive uphill transport because the electric potential is opposed to the chemical potential of OH- . The OH- ions equilibrate with this transmembrane electric potential but cannot remove it due to the relatively low permeability of the charged species. As a result, effective hydroxide transport against its concentration gradient can be achieved, and multiple additions can continuously drive the generation of OH- against its concentration gradient up to ΔpH>2. Moreover, the external addition of different anions can control the generation of OH- depending on their anion binding affinity. When anions displayed very high binding affinities towards PtII compounds, such as halides, the external anions could dissipate the pH gradient. In contrast, a further pH increase was observed for weak binding anions, such as sulfate, due to the increase of positive electric potential.

Anion- and proton-dependent gating of ClC-4 anion/proton transporter under uncoupling conditions.

Project description:ClC-4 is a secondary active transporter that exchanges Cl(-) ions and H(+) with a 2:1 stoichiometry. In external SCN(-), ClC-4 becomes uncoupled and transports anions with high unitary transport rate. Upon voltage steps, the number of active transporters varies in a time-dependent manner, resembling voltage-dependent gating of ion channels. We here investigated modification of the voltage dependence of uncoupled ClC-4 by protons and anions to quantify association of substrates with the transporter. External acidification shifts voltage dependence of ClC-4 transport to more positive potentials and leads to reduced transport currents. Internal pH changes had less pronounced effects. Uncoupled ClC-4 transport is facilitated by elevated external [SCN(-)] but impaired by internal Cl(-) and I(-). Block by internal anions indicates the existence of an internal anion-binding site with high affinity that is not present in ClC channels. The voltage dependence of ClC-4 coupled transport is modulated by external protons and internal Cl(-) in a manner similar to what is observed under uncoupling conditions. Our data illustrate functional differences but also similarities between ClC channels and transporters.

Emergence of Dynamically-Disordered Phases During Fast Oxygen Deintercalation Reaction of Layered Perovskite.

Project description:Determination of a reaction pathway is an important issue for the optimization of reactions. However, reactions in solid-state compounds have remained poorly understood because of their complexity and technical limitations. Here, using state-of-the-art high-speed time-resolved synchrotron X-ray techniques, the topochemical solid-gas reduction mechanisms in layered perovskite Sr3 Fe2 O7- δ (from δ ∼ 0.4 to δ = 1.0), which is promising for an environmental catalyst material is revealed. Pristine Sr3 Fe2 O7- δ shows a gradual single-phase structural evolution during reduction, indicating that the reaction continuously proceeds through thermodynamically stable phases. In contrast, a nonequilibrium dynamically-disordered phase emerges a few seconds before a first-order transition during the reduction of a Pd-loaded sample. This drastic change in the reaction pathway can be explained by a change in the rate-determining step. The synchrotron X-ray technique can be applied to various solid-gas reactions and provides an opportunity for gaining a better understanding and optimizing reactions in solid-state compounds.

Discovery of Anion Insertion Electrochemistry in Layered Hydroxide Nanomaterials.

Project description:Electrode materials which undergo anion insertion are a void in the materials innovation landscape and a missing link to energy efficient electrochemical desalination. In recent years layered hydroxides (LHs) have been studied for a range of electrochemical applications, but to date have not been considered as electrode materials for anion insertion electrochemistry. Here, we show reversible anion insertion in a LH for the first time using Co and Co-V layer hydroxides. By pairing in situ synchrotron and quartz crystal microbalance measurements with a computational unified electrochemical band-diagram description, we reveal a previously undescribed anion-insertion mechanism occurring in Co and Co-V LHs. This proof of concept study demonstrates reversible electrochemical anion insertion in LHs without significant material optimization. These results coupled with our foundational understanding of anion insertion electrochemistry establishes LHs as a materials platform for anion insertion electrochemistry with the potential for future application to electrochemical desalination.

Single Ru atoms with precise coordination on a monolayer layered double hydroxide for efficient electrooxidation catalysis.

Project description:The catalytic properties of single-atom catalysts (SACs) can be influenced largely by the chemical environment exerted by supports. Therefore, a precise location of the single atom is essential for understanding of the reaction mechanism and design of novel SACs. However, the preparation of SACs with a precise location remains a great challenge. Herein, we report a facile one-step method to synthesize single Ru atoms supported on a monolayer NiFe-layered double hydroxide (mono-NiFe). Detailed studies demonstrate that the single Ru atoms are not dispersed randomly in the LDH structure, but are uniquely located on the top of the Fe-metal atom of mono-NiFe via three oxygen atoms. Furthermore, these SACs prove to be highly active for the hydrazine electrooxidation reaction. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the single Ru atoms can stabilize the hydrazine electrooxidation intermediate with one unpaired electron (*N2H3 and *N2H), thus lowering the reaction barrier for the rate-determining step. Moreover, the loading amount of single Ru atoms with a precise location can even go up to 7.0 wt% without any aggregation.

Modulating the Chemical Transport Properties of a Transmembrane Antiporter via Alternative Anion Flux.

Project description:ClC-ec1 is a prototype of the ClC antiporters, proteins that stoichiometrically exchange Cl- and H+ ions in opposite directions across a membrane. It has been shown that other polyatomic anions, such as NO3- and SCN-, can also be transported by ClC-ec1, but with partially or completely uncoupled proton flux. Herein, with the help of multiscale computer simulations in which the Grotthuss mechanism of proton transport (PT) is treated explicitly, we demonstrate how the chemical nature of these anions alters the coupling mechanism and qualitatively explain the shifts in the ion stoichiometry. Multidimensional free energy profiles for PT and the coupled changes in hydration are presented for NO3- and SCN-. The calculated proton conductances agree with experiment, showing reduced or abolished proton flux. Surprisingly, the proton affinity of the anion is less influential on the PT, while its size and interactions with the protein significantly alter hydration and shift its influence on PT from facilitating to inhibiting. We find that the hydration of the cavity below the anion is relatively fast, but connecting the water network past the steric hindrance of these polyatomic anions is quite slow. Hence, the most relevant coordinate to the PT free energy barrier is the water connectivity along the PT pathway, but importantly only in the presence of the excess proton, and this coordinate is significantly affected by the nature of the bound anion. This work again demonstrates how PT is intrinsically coupled with protein cavity hydration changes as well as influenced by the protein environment. It additionally suggests ways in which ion exchange can be modulated and exchange stoichiometries altered.

Self-Assembled Cagelike Receptor That Binds Biologically Relevant Dicarboxylic Acids via Proton-Coupled Anion Recognition.

Project description:We report here a fully organic, self-assembled dimeric receptor, constructed from acyclic naphthyridyl-polypyrrolic building blocks. The cagelike dimer is stable in the solid state, in solution, and in gas phase, as inferred from X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic analyses. This system acts as a receptor for oxalic acid, maleic acid, and malonic acid in the solid state and in THF solution. In contrast, acetic acid, propionic acid, adipic acid, and succinic acid, with pKa values > ca. 2.8, were not bound effectively within the cagelike cavity. It is speculated that oxalic acid, maleic acid, and malonic acid serve to protonate the naphthyridine moieties of the host, which then favors binding of the corresponding carboxylate anions via hydrogen-bonding to the pyrrolic NH protons. The present naphthyridine-polypyrrole dimer is stable under acidic conditions, including in the presence of 100 equiv trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA), H2SO4, and HCl. However, disassembly may be achieved by exposure to tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF). Washing with water then regenerates the cage. This process of assembly and disassembly could be repeated >20 times with little evidence of degradation. The reversible nature of the present system, coupled with its dicarboxylic acid recognition features, leads us to suggest it could have a role to play in effecting the controlled "capture" and "release" of biologically relevant dicarboxylic acids.

Ultrathin layered double hydroxide nanosheets with Ni(III) active species obtained by exfoliation for highly efficient ethanol electrooxidation.

Project description:The development of non-precious metal electrocatalysts for renewable energy conversion and storage is compelling but greatly challenging due to low activity of the existing catalysts. Herein, the ultrathin NiAl-layered double hydroxide nanosheets (NiAl-LDH-NSs) are prepared by simple liquid-exfoliation of bulk NiAl-LDHs and first used as ethanol electrooxidation catalysts. The ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) structure ensures that the LDH nanosheets expose a greater number of active sites. More importantly, much Ni(III) active species (NiOOH) in the ultrathin nanosheets are formed by the exfoliation process, which play an authentic catalytic role in the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR). The presence of NiOOH remarkably improves the reactivity and electrical conductivity of LDH nanosheets. These synergistic effects lead to strikingly more than 30 times enhanced EOR activity of NiAl-LDH-NSs compared to bulk NiAl-LDHs. The obtained electrocatalytic activity is also much better than those of most Ni- and LDH-based EOR catalysts reported to date. In addition, the ultrathin NiAl-LDH-NS electrocatalyst also exhibits good long-term stability (maintain 81.8% of the original value after 10000 s). This study not only provides a highly competitive EOR catalyst, but also opens new avenues toward the design of highly efficient electrode materials that have various potential applications in supercapacitor, Ni-MH battery and other electrocatalytic systems.
