    查看更多>>摘要:Electrocatalytic converting CO2 into chemical products has emerged as a promising approach to achieving carbon neutrality.Herein,we report a bismuth-based catalyst with high curvature terminal and amor-phous layer which fabricated via two-step electrodeposition achieves stable formate output in a wide voltage window of 600 mV.The Faraday efficiency(FE)of formate reached up to 99.4%at-0.8 V vs.RHE and it remained constant for more than 92 h at-15 mA cm-2.More intriguingly,FE formate of 95.4%can be realized at a current density of industrial grade(-667.7 mA cm-2)in flow cell.The special structure promoted CO2 adsorption and reduced its activation energy and enhanced the electric-thermal field and K+enrichment which accelerated the reaction kinetics.In situ spectroscopy and theoretical cal-culation further confirmed that the introduction of amorphous structure is beneficial to adsorpting CO2 and stabling*OCHO intermediate.This work provides special insights to fabricate efficient electrocata-lysts by means of structural and crystal engineering and makes efforts to realize the industrialization of bismuth-based catalysts.

    查看更多>>摘要:Tackling the problem of poor conductivity and catalytic stability of pristine metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)is crucial to improve their oxygen evolution reaction(OER)performance.Herein,we introduce a novel strategy of dysprosium(Dy)doping,using the unique 4f orbitals of this rare earth element to enhance electrocatalytic activity of MOFs.Our method involves constructing Dy-doped Ni-MOF(Dy@Ni-MOF)nanoneedles on carbon cloth via a Dy-induced valence electronic perturbation approach.Experiments and density functional theory(DFT)calculations reveal that Dy doping can effectively mod-ify the electronic structure of the Ni active centers and foster a strong electronic interaction between Ni and Dy.The resulting benefits include a reduced work function and a closer proximity of the d-band cen-ter to the Fermi level,which is conducive to improving electrical conductivity and promoting the adsorp-tion of oxygen-containing intermediates.Furthermore,the Dy@Ni-MOF achieves superhydrophilicity,ensuring effective electrolyte contact and thus accelerating reaction kinetics.Ex-situ and in-situ analysis results manifest Dy2O3/NiOOH as the actual active species.Therefore,Dy@Ni-MOF shows impressive OER performance,significantly surpassing Ni-MOF.Besides,the overall water splitting device with Dy@Ni-MOF as an anode delivers a low cell voltage of 1.51 V at 10 mA cm-2 and demonstrates long-term stability for 100 h,positioning it as a promising substitute for precious metal catalysts.

    查看更多>>摘要:Developing reliable and efficient anode materials is essential for the successfully practical application of sodium-ion batteries.Herein,employing a straightforward and rapid chemical vapor deposition tech-nique,two-dimensional layered ternary indium phosphorus sulfide(ln2P3S9)nanosheets are prepared.The layered structure and ternary composition of the In2P3S9 electrode result in impressive electrochem-ical performance,including a high reversible capacity of 704 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1,an outstanding rate capability with 425 mA h g1 at 5 A g-1,and an exceptional cycling stability with a capacity retention of 88%after 350 cycles at 1 A g-1.Furthermore,sodium-ion full cell also affords a high capacity of 308 and 114 mA h g-1 at 0.1 and 5 A g-1.Ex-situ X-ray diffraction and ex-situ high-resolution transmission elec-tron microscopy tests are conducted to investigate the underlying Na-storage mechanism of In2P3S9.The results reveal that during the first cycle,the P-S bond is broken to form the elemental P and In2S3,col-lectively contributing to a remarkably high reversible specific capacity.The excellent electrochemical energy storage results corroborate the practical application potential of In2P3S9 for sodium-ion batteries.

    查看更多>>摘要:Lithium metal batteries are regarded as prominent contenders to address the pressing needs owing to the high theoretical capacity.Toward the broader implementation,the primary obstacle lies in the intricate multi-electron,multi-step redox reaction associated with sluggish conversion kinetics,subsequently giv-ing rise to a cascade of parasitic issues.In order to smooth reaction kinetics,catalysts are widely intro-duced to accelerate reaction rate via modulating the energy barrier.Over past decades,a large amount of research has been devoted to the catalyst design and catalytic mechanism exploration,and thus the great progress in electrochemical performance has been realized.Therefore,it is necessary to make a comprehensive review toward key progress in catalyst design and future development pathway.In this review,the basic mechanism of lithium metal batteries is provided along with corresponding advantages and existing challenges detailly described.The main catalysts employed to accelerate cathode reaction with emphasis on their catalytic mechanism are summarized as well.Finally,the rational design and innovative direction toward efficient catalysts are suggested for future application in metal-sulfur/gas battery and beyond.This review is expected to drive and benefit future research on rational catalyst design with multi-parameter synergistic impacts on the activity and stability of next-generation metal battery,thus opening new avenue for sustainable solution to climate change,energy and environmental issues,and the potential industrial economy.

    查看更多>>摘要:Direct methanol fuel cells(DMFC)are widely considered to be an ideal green energy conversion device but their widespread applications are limited by the high price of the Pt-based catalysts and the instabil-ity in terms of surface CO toxicity in long-term operation.Herein,the PtFe alloy nanoparticles(NPs)with small particle size(~4.12 nm)supported on carbon black catalysts with different Pt/Fe atomic ratios(Pt1Fe2/C,Pt3Fe4/C,Pt1Fe1/C,and Pt2Fe1/C)are successfully prepared for enhanced anti-CO poisoning dur-ing methanol oxidation reaction(MOR).The optimal atomic ratio of Pt/Fe for the MOR is 1:2,and the mass activity of Pt1Fe2/C(5.40 A mgPt1)is 13.5 times higher than that of conventional commercial Pt/C(Pt/C-JM)(0.40 A mgpt1).The introduction of Fe into the Pt lattice forms the PtFe alloy phase,and the elec-tron density of Pt is reduced after forming the PtFe alloy.In-situ Fourier transform infrared results indicate that the addition of oxyphilic metal Fe has reduced the adsorption of reactant molecules on Pt during the MOR.The doping of Fe atoms helps to desorb toxic intermediates and regenerate Pt active sites,promoting the cleavage of C-O bonds with good selectivity of CO2(58.1%).Moreover,the Pt1Fe2/C catalyst exhibits higher CO tolerance,methanol electrooxidation activity,and long-term stability than other PtxFey/C catalysts.

    查看更多>>摘要:Graphite interfaces are an important part of the anode in lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),significantly influ-encing Li intercalation kinetics.Graphite anodes adopt different stacking sequences depending on the concentration of the intercalated Li ions.In this work,we performed first-principles calculations to com-prehensively address the energetics and dynamics of Li intercalation and Li vacancy diffusion near the non-basal edges of graphite,namely the armchair and zigzag-edges,at high Li concentration.We find that surface effects persist in stage-Ⅱ that bind Li strongly at the edge sites.However,the pronounced effect previously identified at the zigzag edge of pristine graphite is reduced in LiC12,penetrating only to the subsurface site,and eventually disappearing in LiC6.Consequently,the distinctive surface state at the zig-zag edge significantly impacts and restrains the charging rate at the initial lithiation of graphite anodes,whilst diminishes with an increasing degree of lithiation.Longer diffusion time for Li hopping to the bulk site from either the zigzag edge or the armchair edge in LiC6 was observed during high state of charge due to charge repulsion.Effectively controlling Li occupation and diffusion kinetics at this stage is also crucial for enhancing the charge rate.

    查看更多>>摘要:Green hydrogen produced by water electrolysis combined with renewable energy is a promising alterna-tive to fossil fuels due to its high energy density with zero-carbon emissions.Among water electrolysis technologies,the anion exchange membrane(AEM)water electrolysis has gained intensive attention and is considered as the next-generation emerging technology due to its potential advantages,such as the use of low-cost non-noble metal catalysts,the relatively mature stack assembly process,etc.However,the AEM water electrolyzer is still in the early development stage of the kW-level stack,which is mainly attributed to severe performance decay caused by the core component,i.e.,AEM.Here,the review comprehensively presents the recent progress of advanced AEM from the view of the performance of water electrolysis cells.Herein,fundamental principles and critical components of AEM water elec-trolyzers are introduced,and work conditions of AEM water electrolyzers and AEM performance improvement strategies are discussed.The challenges and perspectives are also analyzed.

    查看更多>>摘要:Hematite(а-Fe2O3)based photoanodes have been extensively studied due to various intriguing features that make them viable candidates for a photoelectrochemical(PEC)water splitting photoanode.Herein,we propose a Zr-doped Fe2O3 photoanode decorated with facilely spin-coated Au nanoparticles(NPs)and microwave-assisted attached Si co-doping in conjunction with a SiOx overlayer that displayed a remark-able photocurrent density of 2.01 mA/cm2 at 1.23 V vs.RHE.The kinetic dynamics at the photoelectrode/-electrolyte interface was examined by employing systematic electrochemical investigations.The Au NPs played a dual role in increasing PEC water splitting.First,the Schottky interface that was formed between Au NPs and Zr-Fe2O3 electrode ensured the prevention of electron flow from the photoanode to the metal,increasing the number of available charges as well as suppressing surface charge recombination.Second,Au extracted photoholes from the bulk of the Zr-Fe2O3 and transported them to the outer SiOx overlayer,while the SiOx overlayer efficiently collected the photoholes and promoted the hole injection into the electrolyte.Further,Si co-doping enhanced bulk conductivity by reducing bulk charge transfer resistance and improving charge carrier density.This study outlines a technique to design a metallic charge transfer path with an overlayer for solar energy conversion.

    查看更多>>摘要:Lithium metal batteries(LMBs)promise energy density over 400 Wh kg-1.However,they suffer severe electrochemical performance deterioration at sub-zero temperatures.Such failure behavior highly corre-lates to inferior lithium metal anode(LMA)compatibility and sluggish Li+desolvation.Here,we demon-strate that cyclopentylmethyl ether(CPME)based diluted high-concentration electrolyte(DHCE)enables-60 ℃ LMBs operation.By leveraging the loose coordination between Li+and CPME,such devel-oped electrolyte boosts the formation of ion clusters to derive anion-dominant interfacial chemistry for enhancing LMA compatibility and greatly accelerates Li+desolvation kinetics.The resulting electrolyte demonstrates high Coulombic efficiencies(CE),providing over 99.5%,99.1%,98.5%and 95%at 25,-20,-40,and-60 ℃,respectively.The assembled Li-S battery exhibits remarkable cyclic stability in-20,and-40 ℃ at 0.2 C charging and 0.5 C discharging.Even at-60 ℃,Li-S cell with this designed electrolyte retains>70%of the initial capacity over 170 cycles.Besides,lithium metal coin cell and pouch cell with 10 mg cm-2 high S cathode loading exhibit cycling stability at-20 ℃.This work offers an opportunity for rational designing electrolytes toward low temperature LMBs.
