    查看更多>>摘要:Perovskite solar cells(PSCs)have stood out from many photovoltaic technologies due to their flexibility,cost-effectiveness and high-power conversion efficiency(PCE).Nevertheless,the further development of PSCs is greatly hindered by the trap-induced non-radiative recombination losses and poor long-term work stability.In the past decade,the huge advancements have been obtained on suppressing nonradia-tive recombination and enhancing device durability.Among them,the multisite ligands(MSLs)engineer-ing plays a crucial role in precise control and directional modification of functional layers and interfaces,which contributes to markedly increased PCE and lifetimes of PSCs.In view of this,this review summa-rizes the advances of MSLs in PSCs.From the perspective of functional groups and chemical interaction,the modulation mechanisms of properties of different functional layers and interfaces and device perfor-mance via various MSLs are deeply investigated and revealed.Finally,the prospects for the application and development direction of MSLs in PSCs are legitimately proposed.

    查看更多>>摘要:The conversion of carbon dioxide to ethylene by electrochemical reduction(CO2RR)provides a new strat-egy for achieving carbon dioxide conversion.However,copper-based catalysts have the disadvantages of unsatisfactory selectivity and low current density,which limit the potential CO2RR industrial expansion.Researches have verified that the real reaction sites at the catalyst surface often undergo reconstruction during the reaction,therefore,understanding and utilizing this phenomenon is crucial for improving cat-alytic performance.In this work,we introduced additional Ag component into Cu@Ag/C tandem catalyst by in-situ electrochemical reconstruction of Cu2CO3(OH)2/AgCl/C precursor.This electro-reduced catalyst exhibits a C2H4 Faradaic efficiency of 50.41%in H-cell,and 58.03%in the flow cell,surpassing the coun-terparts of pure Cu and Ag,as well as the Cu-Ag homolog with separated interface.Moreover,it also pro-vides a long-term stability of 21 h with the ethylene Faraday efficiency(FE)over 50%.The appropriate amount of Ag dopant into the Cu catalyst changes the electronic structure of Cu surface by the electron transfer from Cu to Ag,which distinctly enhances the binding energy of CO2 on the catalyst.Meanwhile,in-situ Raman results and theoretical calculation reveal that the introduction of silver increases the num-ber of active sites and improves the coverage of*CO intermediate,thereby accelerating the kinetics of C-C coupling and reducing its energy barrier.The combination of cascade catalytic strategy and in-situ elec-troreduction interface provides potential applications for future artificial carbon balance.

    查看更多>>摘要:Proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs)are promising next-generation energy conversion devices with advantages including high energy conversion efficiency,low noise,and environmental friendliness.On the PEMFC cathode,the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)relies heavily on Pt-based catalysts,where PtMx(M stands for transition metal)intermetallic compounds(IMCs)are considered the best choice to enhance the cat-alytic activity.However,problems such as inadequate catalytic activity,high cost,and insufficient durability,etc.still hamper its commercialization.The optimizations of the catalyst structure,the improvements in the preparation process,and the understanding of the reaction mechanism are of great value.The developments of cathodic oxygen reduction catalysts for PEMFCs will also focus on improving the catalytic activity of inter-metallic compound nanoparticles,the utilization rate,and the durability of Pt.Controlling the particle size and particle/carrier interaction remain key issues for future research.The catalyst reaction mechanism,the surface changes of the nanoparticles of Pt(111)face before and after the catalytic reaction,and the targeted regulation of the adsorption strength between the IMCs and oxygen-containing intermediates adjusted by transition met-als need to be investigated more specifically and directly.At the application level,the expression of catalyst properties in the catalyst membrane electrode and reactor are the keys to the performance of PEMFCs.Therefore,researches on PEMFCs are still systematic works.This paper summarized the recent process toward the optimization of catalyst preparation,the exploration of new catalysts,and the new understanding of the mechanism.Given the reference to the development of PEMFCs,future research can start from the existing problems,solve the shortcomings of the catalyst,and promote the practical application of PEMFCs.

    查看更多>>摘要:Developing efficient and stable electrocatalysts for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is crucial yet challenging due to their sluggish kinetics and potential deactivation in harsh acidic environments.Herein,we propose an electronic regulation approach involving the incorporation of trace Pt into SrIrO3 perovskite to improve its activity and longevity for OER in acidic media.Both experimental and theoretical results reveal that trace Pt incorporation effectively regulates the electronic structure of SrIrO3,lowering the energy barrier of OER and mitigating the Ir overoxidation.The optimized 2%Pt-SrIrO3 electrocatalyst demonstrates an ultralow overpotential of 228 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and maintains stable over 50 h in 0.5 M H2SO4,rivaling most reported iridate perovskites.As a demonstration,the 2%Pt-SrIrO3||Pt/C based electrolytic cell exhibits high electrochemical performance and robustness for prac-tical acidic water splitting.This protocol offers an attractive strategy for electronic structure manipula-tion in electrocatalysts towards electrocatalytic applications.

    查看更多>>摘要:Carbon-based materials are recognized as anodes fulling of promise for potassium ion batteries(PIBs)due to advantages of affordable cost and high conductivity.However,they still face challenges including structural unstability and slow kinetics.It is difficult to achieve efficient potassium storage with unmod-ified carbonaceous anode.Herein,atomic bismuth(Bi)sites with different atom coordinations anchored on carbon nanosheets(CNSs)have been synthesized through a template method.The properties of pre-pared multi-doping carbon anodes Bi-N3S1/CNSs,Bi-N3P1/CNSs and Bi-N4/CNSs were probed in PIBs.The configuration Bi-N3S1 with stronger charge asymmetry exhibits superior potassium storage performance compared to Bi-N3P1 and Bi-N4 configurations.The Bi-N3S1/CNSs display a rate capacity of 129.2 mAh g-1 even at 10 A g-1 and an impressive cyclability characterized by over 5000 cycles at 5 A g-1,on account of its optimal coordination environment with more active Bi centers and K+adsorption sites.Notably,assembled potassium-ion full cell Mg-KVO//Bi-N3S1/CNSs also shows an outstanding cycling stability,enduring 3000 cycles at 2 A g-1.Therefore,it can be demonstrated that regulating the electronic structure of metallic centre M-N4 via changing the type of ligating atom is a feasible strategy for modifying carbon anodes,on the base of co-doping metal and non-metal.

    查看更多>>摘要:The uncontrollable growth of Zn dendrites accompanied by side reactions severely impedes the industri-alized process of zinc ion electrochemical energy storage devices.Herein,we propose a practical metal-organic complex interface layer to manipulate the zinc ion flux and electric field intensity,enabling highly homogeneous zinc electrodeposition.The zinc-terephthalic acid complex(ZnPTA)with lower adsorption energy for zinc ion(-1.3 eV)builds a zincophilic interface favoring the ordered nucleation and growth of Zn.Moreover,the ZnPTA layer can serve as physical barrier to protect the newly deposited Zn from corrosion in the aqueous electrolyte.The modified Zn anode with the ZnPTA layer(ZnPTA@Zn)demonstrates excellent cycling stability more than 3000 h at 1 mA/cm2.Besides,the zinc-ion battery and zinc-ion hybrid capacitor using the ZnPTA@Zn electrode deliver outstanding cycle performance(up to 5500 cycles with high residual capacity ratio of 77.9%).This work provides a promising metal-organic complex interface design on enhancing the performance of Zn metal anode.
