A Heterogenized Copper Phenanthroline System to Catalyze the Oxygen Reduction Reaction

ABSTRACT: Abstract Upon the electrochemical reduction of an in situ generated 5‐diazo‐1,10‐phenanthroline ion, phenanthroline was covalently attached to a gold electrode. The grafted molecules act as a ligand when brought in contact with a copper‐containing electrolyte solution. As the ligands are limited in spatial movement, the exclusive formation of the active species with only one phenanthroline ligand coordinated was expected. The in situ generated complexes have been investigated for activity in the oxygen reduction reaction, for which an overpotential of 800 mV is observed. During catalysis, initially a thick copper layer is formed on top of an organic layer that is still present on the gold surface. Upon deterioration of the organic layer underneath the copper over time, the amount of copper on the electrode and thereby the electrocatalytic activity decreases. Beneficial layer: The immobilization of phenanthroline via a diazonium coupling reaction leads to a well‐defined thin organic layer on gold. Electrochemical reduction in the presence of Cu2+ results in a relatively thick layer of copper, which is active for the oxygen reduction reaction. The activity depends on the presence of both copper and the organic ligand.

Rational design of heterogenized molecular phthalocyanine hybrid single-atom electrocatalyst towards two-electron oxygen reduction.

Project description:Single-atom catalysts supported on solid substrates have inspired extensive interest, but the rational design of high-efficiency single-atom catalysts is still plagued by ambiguous structure determination of active sites and its local support effect. Here, we report hybrid single-atom catalysts by an axial coordination linkage of molecular cobalt phthalocyanine with carbon nanotubes for selective oxygen reduction reaction by screening from a series of metal phthalocyanines via preferential density-functional theory calculations. Different from conventional heterogeneous single-atom catalysts, the hybrid single-atom catalysts are proven to facilitate rational screening of target catalysts as well as understanding of its underlying oxygen reduction reaction mechanism due to its well-defined active site structure and clear coordination linkage in the hybrid single-atom catalysts. Consequently, the optimized Co hybrid single-atom catalysts exhibit improved 2e- oxygen reduction reaction performance compared to the corresponding homogeneous molecular catalyst in terms of activity and selectivity. When prepared as an air cathode in an air-breathing flow cell device, the optimized hybrid catalysts enable the oxygen reduction reaction at 300 mA cm-2 exhibiting a stable Faradaic efficiency exceeding 90% for 25 h.

Influence of Ligand Denticity and Flexibility on the Molecular Copper Mediated Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:To date, the copper complex with the tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (tmpa) ligand (Cu-tmpa) catalyzes the ORR with the highest reported turnover frequency (TOF) for any molecular copper catalyst. To gain insight into the importance of the tetradentate nature and high flexibility of the tmpa ligand for efficient four-electron ORR catalysis, the redox and electrocatalytic ORR behavior of the copper complexes of 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (terpy) and bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (bmpa) (Cu-terpy and Cu-bmpa, respectively) were investigated in the present study. With a combination of cyclic voltammetry and rotating ring disk electrode measurements, we demonstrate that the presence of the terpy and bmpa ligands results in a decrease in catalytic ORR activity and an increase in Faradaic efficiency for H2O2 production. The lower catalytic activity is shown to be the result of a stabilization of the CuI state of the complex compared to the earlier reported Cu-tmpa catalyst. This stabilization is most likely caused by the lower electron donating character of the tridentate terpy and bmpa ligands compared to the tetradentate tmpa ligand. The Laviron plots of the redox behavior of Cu-terpy and Cu-bmpa indicated that the formation of the ORR active catalyst involves relatively slow electron transfer kinetics which is caused by the inability of Cu-terpy and Cu-bmpa to form the preferred tetrahedral coordination geometry for a CuI complex easily. Our study illustrates that both the tetradentate nature of the tmpa ligand and the ability of Cu-tmpa to form the preferred tetrahedral coordination geometry for a CuI complex are of utmost importance for ORR catalysis with very high catalytic rates.

Boosting Lattice Oxygen Oxidation of Perovskite to Efficiently Catalyze Oxygen Evolution Reaction by FeOOH Decoration.

Project description:In the process of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on perovskite, it is of great significance to accelerate the hindered lattice oxygen oxidation process to promote the slow kinetics of water oxidation. In this paper, a facile surface modification strategy of nanometer-scale iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) clusters depositing on the surface of LaNiO3 (LNO) perovskite is reported, and it can obviously promote hydroxyl adsorption and weaken Ni-O bond of LNO. The above relevant evidences are well demonstrated by the experimental results and DFT calculations. The excellent hydroxyl adsorption ability of FeOOH-LaNiO3 (Fe-LNO) can obviously optimize OH- filling barriers to promote lattice oxygen-participated OER (LOER), and the weakened Ni-O bond of LNO perovskite can obviously reduce the reaction barrier of the lattice oxygen participation mechanism (LOM). Based on the above synergistic catalysis effect, the Fe-LNO catalyst exhibits a maximum factor of 5 catalytic activity increases for OER relative to the pristine perovskite and demonstrates the fast reaction kinetics (low Tafel slope of 42 mV dec-1) and superior intrinsic activity (TOFs of ~40 O2 S-1 at 1.60 V vs. RHE).

Influence of the spatial distribution of copper sites on the selectivity of the oxygen reduction reaction.

Project description:Moving towards a hydrogen economy raises the demand for affordable and efficient catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction. Cu-bmpa (bmpa = bis(2-picolyl)amine) is shown to have moderate activity, but poor selectivity for the 4-electron reduction of oxygen to water. To enhance the selectivity towards water formation, the cooperative effect of three Cu-bmpa binding sites in a single trinuclear complex is investigated. The catalytic currents in the presence of the trinuclear sites are lower, possibly due to the more rigid structure and therefore higher reorganization energies and/or slower diffusion rates of the catalytic species. Although the oxygen reduction activity of the trinuclear complexes is lower than that of mononuclear Cu-bmpa, the selectivity of the copper mediated oxygen reduction was significantly enhanced towards the 4-electron process due to a cooperative effect between three copper centers that have been positioned in close proximity. These results indicate that the cooperativity between metal ions within biomimetic sites can greatly enhance the ORR selectivity.

A Hybrid Material Combined Copper Oxide with Graphene for an Oxygen Reduction Reaction in an Alkaline Medium.

Project description:In this work, an electrode material based on CuO nanoparticles (NPs)/graphene (G) is developed for ORR in alkaline medium. According to the characterization of scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope, CuO NPs are uniformly distributed on the wrinkled G sheets. The X-ray diffraction test reveals that the phase of CuO is monoclinic. The CuO/G hybrid electrode exhibits a positive onset potential (0.8 V), high cathodic current density (3.79 × 10-5 mA/cm²) and high electron transfer number (four-electron from O? to H?O) for ORR in alkaline media. Compared with commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst, the CuO/G electrode also shows superior fuel durability. The high electrocatalytic activity and durability are attribute to the strong coupling between CuO NPs and G nanosheets.

Cobalt-Based Coordination Polymer for Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:Lack of control over the structure and electrically nonconductive properties of coordination polymers (CPs) creates a major hindrance to designing an active electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Here, we report a new semiconductive and low-optical band gap CP structure [{Co3(μ3-OH)(BTB)2(BPE)2}{Co0.5N(C5H5)}], 1, that exhibits high-performance ORR in alkaline medium. The electrical conductivity of compound 1 was measured using impedance spectroscopy and found to be 5 × 10-4 S cm-1. The Ketjenblack EC-600JD carbon used as a support for all the electrochemical methods such as cyclic voltammetry, rotating disk electrode, rotating ring-disk electrode and Koutecký-Levich analysis. The as-synthesized Co-based catalyst has the ability to reduce O2 to H2O by a nearly four-electron process. The crystal structure of 1 shows that the trimeric unit {Co3(μ3-OH)(COO)5N3} and monomeric unit {Co(COO)2(NC5H4)2}2+ are linked with BTB and BPE linkers to form a three-dimensional structure. Theoretical calculations predict that the monomeric center acts as an active catalytic site for ORR. This could be due to the efficient overlap of highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital between monomer and O2 molecule. This CP, 1, shows facile 3.6-electron ORR, and it is inexpensive compared with widely used Pt catalysts. Therefore, this CP can be used as a promising cathode material for fuel cells in terms of efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Mononuclear copper complex-catalyzed four-electron reduction of oxygen.

Project description:A mononuclear Cu(II) complex acts as an efficient catalyst for four-electron reduction of O(2) to H(2)O. Its reduction by a ferrocene derivative (Fc*) and reaction with O(2) leads to the formation of a peroxodicopper(II) complex; this is subsequently reduced by Fc* in the presence of protons to regenerate the Cu(II) complex.

Al13@Pt42 core-shell cluster for oxygen reduction reaction.

Project description:To increase Pt utilization for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells, reducing particle sizes of Pt is a valid way. However, poisoning or surface oxidation limits the smallest size of Pt particles at 2.6 nm with a low utility of 20%. Here, using density functional theory calculations, we develop a core-shell Al13@Pt42 cluster as a catalyst for ORR. Benefit from alloying with Al in this cluster, the covalent Pt-Al bonding effectively activates the Pt atoms at the edge sites, enabling its high utility up to 70%. Valuably, the adsorption energy of O is located at the optimal range with 0.0-0.4 eV weaker than Pt(111), while OH-poisoning does not observed. Moreover, ORR comes from O2 dissociation mechanism where the rate-limiting step is located at OH formation from O and H with a barrier of 0.59 eV, comparable with 0.50 eV of OH formation from O and H2O on Pt(111).

Oxygen-Reconstituted Active Species of Single-Atom Cu Catalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:Identification of an active center of catalysts under realistic working conditions of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) still remains a great challenge and unclear. Herein, we synthesize the Cu single atom embedded on nitrogen-doped graphene-like matrix electrocatalyst (abbreviated as SA-Cu/NG). The results show that SA-Cu/NG possesses a higher ORR capability than 20% Pt/C at alkaline solution while the inferior activity to 20% Pt/C at acidic medium. Based on the experiment and simulation calculation, we identify the atomic structure of Cu-N2C2 in SA-Cu/NG and for the first time unravels that the oxygen-reconstituted Cu-N2C2-O structure is really the active species of alkaline ORR, while the oxygen reconstitution does not happen at acidic medium. The finding of oxygen-reconstituted active species of SA-Cu/NG at alkaline media successfully unveils the bottleneck puzzle of why the performance of ORR catalysts at alkaline solution is better than that at acidic media, which provides new physical insight into the development of new ORR catalysts.

Atomically Dispersed Pentacoordinated-Zirconium Catalyst with Axial Oxygen Ligand for Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:Single-atom catalysts (SACs), as promising alternatives to Pt-based catalysts, suffer from the limited choice of center metals and low single-atom loading. Here, we report a pentacoordinated Zr-based SAC with nontrivial axial O ligands (denoted O-Zr-N-C) for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The O ligand downshifts the d-band center of Zr and confers Zr sites with stable local structure and proper adsorption capability for intermediates. Consequently, the ORR performance of O-Zr-N-C prominently surpasses that of commercial Pt/C, achieving a half-wave potential of 0.91 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode and outstanding durability (92 % current retention after 130-hour operation). Moreover, the Zr site shows good resistance towards aggregation, enabling the synthesis of Zr-based SAC with high loading (9.1 wt%). With the high-loading catalyst, the zinc-air battery (ZAB) delivers a record-high power density of 324 mW cm-2 among those of SAC-based ZABs.
